Black & White version

Pink & blue are my favourite colours. My padlet theme also follows this colour scheme.

It includes 'W' and 'N' which are my initials. And from the Gestalt Theory, it has symmetry.

Its got a transparent background, still unsure why it shows up with colour

Rationale
The first few days were during lockdown, so there wasn't anything interesting. I find architecture quite interesting & nice to look at, so I often take a lot of pictures of buildings.

This star chart shows the stars and the moon on the 15th August 2000 (when I was born). I originally wanted to overlay the picture of my face on the star chart but I decided to map out my face like a constellation to maintain the theme.
Also, I've always disliked some features of my face & mapping out my face was quite challenging because I found myself wanting to make my face skinner or my nose smaller.
But I didn't because that wouldn't be an authentic map of myself.

Finalised Image

I love anime very much and I decided to redraw myself with the Jojo anime style. I borrowed a friend's Wacom and experimented with Clip Studio Art.
I also just wanted to see how I would look like if I was in the Jojo anime world..

Original picture of me and the pencil drawing

Rationale
1. Memphis Style
I like this style because it is very simple & fun. The bright colours feel very inviting to me & I find it interesting to draw abstractly with clashing colours.

2. Qinni
I have followed Qinni on all her social medias for many years and I started developing my hand-drawn art style through her art. Her art inspired me because it felt very real yet fantastical at the same time.

Copic rendering of the Barcelona Pavillion in C1, C3, C5 & C7.

I do not like using watercolours so I decided to use Copic markers instead to draw/paint this building in monochrome to show its minimalism.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not good with colouring so I decided to experiment colouring with Copic markers after using a black brush to draw the outline. I was also trying to shade with Copic markers.

I wanted to experiment dotwork with thin pens and drawing at a small scale. I found this the most fun and frustrating to do.

Design is improving or expressing creativity and imagination without boundaries through different mediums for the present and future people of various backgrounds.

Expressing myself with different forms of mediums to reach out to a diverse range of people and to evoke empathy and a sense of appreciation.

I roughly sketched out the notes with pencil before outlining it with pen. Then I refined it with Procreate before moving it to Adobe Illustrator & colouring it.

The RM1 is the smallest note and the RM100 is the biggest note in Malaysia. Back home, I was only given RM1 as pocket money per day when I was in school. So it's the note I am most familiar with. The RM100 note is my favourite because it's got the biggest value.

I roughly sketched this just to get a familiar shape and form of the note

I outlined it with pen and refined some details.

I refined it further in Procreate and made more details. The man in the note is the first Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Lato is my favourite font because I prefer sans-serif fonts and it has a lot of variants like hairline, thin, semibold, etc. The colour palette is very vibrant and colourful to match the theme.
