deformed object when importing obj file to openGL code - c

Question

I am relatively new to openGL and 3D drawing.
I drew a little person in Blender and exported its verteces in a .objfile so I can render that person using my C-code.
this is the person I drew:
The problem
When I import it in my code I don't see a person any more but a horrible ugly mess:
What I think
In the beginning when I tested my software I drew a cube and imported those vertices in my code. I saw that I only had 6 v-vertices. this gave me a partial cube ( hence one side is not closed).
So maybe it has something to do with that.
What can I do to solve this issue? Where did I make a mistake? Has it something to do with the projection or the export from blender?
This is my C code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
#include "myVertices.h"
float xCamera = 3.0;
float yCamera = 3.0;
float zCamera = 0.0;
float barelRollCamera = 0.0;
void init(void)
{
glClearColor(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
}
void drawVertex(GLfloat vertex[][3], int numberVertex, int shape)
{
int i;
glPushMatrix();
switch(shape)
{
case 0: glBegin(GL_LINES); break;
case 1: glBegin(GL_POLYGON); break;
default: break;
}
for(i=0;i<numberVertex;i++)
{
glVertex3fv(vertex[i]);
}
glEnd();
glPopMatrix();
}
void drawScene(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
gluLookAt(xCamera,yCamera,3.0, 0.0,0.0,0.0, 0.0,1.0,barelRollCamera);
glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
//draws axis
drawVertex(assen,6,0);
//draws person I drew in blender using the vertices in my header file
drawVertex(person,1038,1);
glFlush();
}
void herschaal(){
glViewport(0,0,500,500);
glLoadIdentity();
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glOrtho(-6.500, 6.500, -6.500, 6.500, -6.00, 12.00);
}
int main( int argc, char * argv[])
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB | GLUT_DEPTH );
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 100);
glutInitWindowSize(1000, 1000);
glutCreateWindow("test");
glutReshapeFunc(herschaal);
init();
glutDisplayFunc(drawScene);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;
