Self Portrait!

This is probably my first time making a self portrait, have no idea how it should look like at the end, but it ended up looking like this.




We had 1hour and 30minutes or so to finish our portrait. I started by picking off with the spiky leaves I picked from a plant around the lakeside to represent my hair, its because it looks like my hair, and it kinda feels the same when you touch them. I really love the smell of herbs, especially when it comes to cooking, the reason why I used the piece of leaf to represent my nose instead of drawing it. I drew music notes to represent my ears because listening to music had been a part of my daily 'to-do list' since I started dancing. Another reason why I listen to music a lot is because I am not easily inspired by other things such as drawings or written arts. Growing up in a city where you can find spicy food almost in every corner of the street, its just a waste for not being able to taste them. The chilli I drew to represent my mouth, also represent my preference of spicy food compared to the others. My favourite colours are green and the other is purple, represented by the stripes drawn and the leaves pasted on the left corner.
Hope I covered everything about it. :D
