2 Dimensional Design & Principal of Design July 2015: February 2016

So it's been weeks ever since my update about 2D and here's more! After we made the envelope thing in the past few weeks, Ms Fu showed us some of amazing 2D art installation using a variety of medias and also textures and not long after, we were told to create 30 empty boxes in a A3 paper and hence draw any objects that contains textures into one of the boxes. Not to mention, drawing boxes again is so much troublesome. LOL

I've managed to draw half of it with the amount of time that Ms Fu gave and hence, we were asked to stop and continue it at home. Not long after, Ms Fu ordered us to take a bunch of newspaper, preferably English language and then pick any interesting topic without any sense of hesitation. So, I picked The Star's column discussing about the Miss Universe's incident that happened to the Miss Philippines last year. After choosing the article, we were told to choose again any of the drawing we drew in the 30 boxes that I've mentioned and I picked eyes. Right after that, we were briefed on our first 2D assignment which is to interpret the content of the article we chose and connect it with the drawing that we chose out of the 30 drawings in a A3 paper. It may sound hard and confusing and even I'm confused at first but then I got it thanks to my friends' help.

I started executing this assignment during the Chinese New Year holidays because I really don't want to do it at the very last minute and I know that I gonna need a lot of research to make it work. Hence, my idea for my 2D clipart is a beauty pageant at the centre of the stage where her crown is almost crowned to her head while a lot of eyes with different expressions are looking at her awkwardly. I've completed my final portrait after several trail and errors and showed to Ms Fu for any correction as I knew that something is gonna change because, well that's Ms Fu! She did asked me to correct it because it looks too sketchy as it doesn't play by the word 'clipart' already. She also asked me to avoid doing repeating lines as it will make it look sketchy. So, I managed to do another new one with less lines but more smooth and 'clipart looking' eyes as well.

We were also told to draw another 20 drawings from the objects that I chose which is the eye based from the 30 sketches...So here's all of the pictures of my process during completing Assignment 1. Enjoy!
