My idea of this portrait was inspired by a character in a cartoon called Chibi Maruko-chan. Here’s a picture of the character.

The portrait is a boy with a big head and neat hair. His hair, eyes, nose, and mouth varies randomly. When the eyes curve down, he shows a smile face; when the eyes curve up, he shows his beard like an old man, and sometimes he open his mouth as if he is surprised by something.

The problem I encountered was how to show the hair, and make changes to it. In order to show as many line (hair) as possible, I chose to use for loop, and I can also use least amount of variables to change all the hair.

If I had more time, I would love to add more facial expression, and also add ears or arms.
