Conics Self Portrait

In order to graph my face on Desmos, I had to manipulate multiple graphs, most of which being conics. For the general shape of my face I used an elipse which I stretched in the y axis, as I have a slightly longer face. Unfortunately I don’t have very straight, flat hair, so I used multiple side parabolas, eclipses, and some reciprocal functions in order to make the waves of my hair. In order to make the almond shape of my eyes I used two parabolas, as I couldn’t get quite the right shape and angle using an elipse. I then used a hyperbola to make the lines of my cheeks, which make the bridge of my nose. To finish off my portrait I wanted to add a cap and gown. To do this I used some simple line graphs to outline. https://www.desmos.com/calculator/s7an5tto9l
