Task 1 - Week 4 Recap
LECTURE
Introduction
Importance of Observation
Sense of Place
PRACTICAL
Self Portrait
Concept
Inspiration
Initial Rough Sketches
Composition Sketches
- I reach out with my hand to give a sense of chasing or capturing something. However, the hand is overemphasized. So I decided not to go with this.
- *Chosen* A barrier with a hole. The person (me) wanting to go through it.
- Human hands covering my face, giving a sense of me stopping myself from a breakthrough.
Artwork Progression
Concept
Reflection
- adding more texture on the 'wall with a hole' object may make the design more interesting.
Lecturer's feedback
"In your final design, the tiger feels like a foreign object to the
body without any connection between them. In your references, the
tiger looks much more attached to the human body. Think about how
you can promote some kind of connection between both."
Final Outcome after Improvement (14/02/2022)
After receiving my lecturer's feedback, I tried to make
connections by colouring and having black stripes on the body just
like the tiger's to illustrate a connection between them. It gives
a sense of unity and that the human body has devoured and
possessed the powerful strength of the tiger's.
In addition, I replaced the black wall with chains. The main
reason for this was because the black wall covered too much of
the drawing. The chains plays the same role as the wall, to
portray the obstacles in life, while also making the design look
much interesting and not too simple.
All changes to the artwork are done digitally.
