(explore some constraints from your side)
Click some photos of
each other’s face.
This time use physical
props to add some

Measure following parts of your body:
Size of eyes, head, torso and legs.

Tabulate the data.

(use rounded / approximate figures)
you may use calculator (in your mobile) 
Now play around with these ratios.
Swap the ratio between say eyes and
legs or between head and torso
Picture Genie
Draw the above parts using the new
ratios. Try out different drawings with
different ratios. Play!
Make a final artwork of an out of
proportion you – using
ONLY CIRCLES
