So today, after talking to Hafiz, everything seemed clearer because I kind of have a direction now. He said my stuff doesn't have to have proper sketches of actual faces because in class this morning, he talked about icons. He told us to draw random shapes and then by just giving each of them an eye, they become faces, and everyone would easily recognize that they were faces just because of that little addition. Who knew something so insignificant could be so... significant?

My initial ideas were crap, I even almost thought of changing my subject to something like.. growing up as a female.. or whatever. But that idea seemed very week and stupid. I spelled week as week instead of weak. Such a genius. Anyway, here's the crappy idea I was talking about:

And since it's just a bunch of crap that I came up with and had no inspiration from like, anything, really... I decided to sack that idea and stick to hair.. and supposedly the evolution of it. I showed Hafiz my sketches... which were... mediocre sketches that had faces and looked like I was trying so hard to be a fine arts kind of sketch (and my efforts were useless anyway cos it was a big failure) and so he was very bored with the idea... I'll probably upload those later when I get internet on my phone... But yeah.. After those series of crappy drawings, I roughly sketched out some stuff according to what Hafiz said I should do instead.

And this is what I did after Hafiz gave me a bit (okay maybe a lot) of direction:

And then, instead of going home, since we ended at 12PM today, I decided to stay and borrow a Wacom tablet to work on my stuff on Illustrator... And here's the end product (for now).. I'm not sure if these will be enough though, I'm going to have to re-do it in a more interesting and maybe eccentric way... I did a little bit of research on Andy Warhol last night and I discovered silk-screening.. And I think... I think... I want to integrate that technique into my metamorphosis assignment..

I also looked up Chiaroscuro and it was probably mentioned in one of our lectures that it literally means light-dark. Coming straight from my messy notes on my journal, I wrote down these:

Anyway!

This is what I did on Illustrator for about an hour... or maybe 2? I'm not sure. But yeah... Here:

I'm going to go home now, where I don't have internet, and a little part of me dies every single time I go back to my studio apartment because of that. Because I can't do research in the comfort of my own room. But it's okay.. Being in the Mac Lab is bad-ass because the screen is super huge and at the end of the day I always end up cross-eyed.

Thanks for reading.. whoever you are..

STALKER! 

.... Eheheh heh heheheheeh

Yours cheesily,
