wonderful work !
interesting to know how you made it :-) It's a long work of patience ...
you have also a great talent to choose the colors,the patterns and the textures...
@mckenna486 that is a tough question to answer. I use the crop tool to cut shapes that I see in photos. I look at shadows and try to see if they are blue or purple, etc.. Then I try to discover the bigger shapes and planes of the face and cut them into shape. I make sure the details are as close as possible. I use the photo as a reference the whole time I cut the shapes. I also am not using a mouse - I use a the Intuos4 tablet and pen when I work on Polyvore.
