Steps
- Step 1Cut a rectangle from a sheet of corrugated cardboard - our example is 8x7" . This will be the base for your portrait. The rest of the cardboard will be used to build up the portrait.
- Step 2Use one of the scrap pieces to cut a head shape. Attach several small pieces of cardboard to the back of the head so that it will stick out from the base, and glue to the base.
- Step 3Cut out a side view of the head and glue it to the original head shape.
- Step 4Cut out a side view of the forehead and attach with glue. Add cardboard to the back to make it stick out, if desired.
- Step 5Add a front view nose.
- Step 6Add a side view nostril to the front view nose.
- Step 7Continue adding eyes, lips, eyebrows, ears and other features from different points of view.
- Step 8Add final details from different view points, such as hair, jewelry, cheeks, eyelashes, etc.
