SCORE:
Starting with left hand leads:

Set 1: Front
Left hand holds a pencil parallel to the face from a distance close enough to feel the metallic pull of pencil but without contact, and traces in a circular motion following facial contours.
Right hand performs the same trajectory as left but upside down and backwards, creating a rotated image. These actions are performed on a horizontal plane. 
Left food performs the same trajectory as left hand without transformation. These actions are performed on a horizontal plane. 

Set 2: Profile
Left hand holds a pencil perpendicular to the face and traces it from the same distance.
Right hand follows the same trajectory applied to a vertical plane. 
Left foot follows the same trajectory applied to a vertical plane . 

The steps are repeated starting with right hand leads on the opposite side of the drawing table.
