Praise:
I think something I put in a lot of effort into was the spectacles. Even though the cutting was not good, but my decision to make it pop out better with the help of including some pieces of cardboard below it turned out really well! I am really happy that it makes it look like an actual pair of glasses on my face :D Through this cardboard portrait making process, I learnt that I am very meticulous and pays great attention to details, from the glasses to the precise cutting of the smaller parts (e.g. the shine in the eyes). Also, I planned greatly on which parts to cut with which cardboard and even traced the size of the parts needed to be pasted above it onto the parts so that the work would resemble my face better.
Polish:
Something I believe I could have done better was the hair design because the current texture is quite boring and colour is plain. The shirt designs also disappointed me quite a bit as they did not turn out as nice as IÂ imagined them to be. I believe I need to have more creativity and maybe look at more references so the work would turn out better. One other thing I regretted doing was colouring my eyebrows which I am very glad I redid it as it looked horrible.
