Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity

In response to the theme self play. Me and my friends collaborated on an abstract portrait of my own face by PS.
Methods
I contacted with several my friends and give them a task that to draw a random part of my face in their impression. Some of them have got no art background. However, it doesn't matter cause at that time in middle school, We portrait for each other just for fun.So does this time.I didn't make any rules for them. I just asked them to send me the drawings when they were done. After receiving the pieces, I put them together to form a complete piece and send it back to them. We all enjoyed the activity very much, and my friends also cooperated with me, although some of them were busy with work or could not draw, they all completed my task successfully. Some of the most interesting parts are putting the pieces together, like a jigsaw puzzle with a high degree of freedom, where different senses can create different effects. I picked out a few good ones and sent them to my friends.

Reflection
Although the final portrait doesn't look like me or even funny, my friends and I generally enjoyed it. The first reaction of all my friends was to laugh when they saw the final result. The important thing is that everyone gets positive feedback. I'm happy that I became a bridge to my friends and let them work together on a piece of art about myself.
