yeah.. time for the second assignment.. and while i thought it's gonna be a simple task.. since it could just be any representative image of an object.. the process of abstraction became harder as i proceeded on..
i took up the animal - KOALA.. since it was abandoned in my first assignment.. (:
was pretty enthusiastic about the topic.. and thus.. went searching around on the net to find out more about koalas and found a picture as reference..
some information about koala.
koala (phascolarctos cinereus: meaning - pouch, bear, ash-colored)
three subspecies in Australia with different variations in hair color among each.
started off drawing detailed features of the koala.. naming its ears and its nose.. sketching was easy.. to do it on the computer posed a harder task.. did a simple version of my sketch.. and TA-DA,
down the process of abstraction.. i removed the complicated details of its fur.. and used simpler strokes..
then i removed the body.. as the size of the bodies kinda determine the species of it.. thus..
finally.. i dunno what else i can actually remove.. and therefore.. the eyes and nose disappeared..
and becos we needed like 5 steps.. i was stucked! and probably the pretty ridiculous thing i did.. heehee..
but then.. thanks to all your suggestions.. my steps were a little modified and my symbol became.. *drum rolls*
and thus.. the FINAL PIECE..
^^v.
