I’m having fun!

Some people have been telling me this is “funny, much better than asking questions” and they usually start with feeling embarrassed and when finished the drawing feeling they have done something fun…

Interesting Stories

I got my first guy today!! I think he’s Irish…. >.<
He was just sitting in a café, reading, and I asked him if he could draw himself and he drew this for me! (Below)

I also found someone that is not afraid to draw …. The first time!
He’s a fashion student in AUT, very friendly and stylish, and probably quite good at drawing, look at him! (Below)

That was good start to get guys to draw ^. ^

Major Change

After a discussion with Kathy, I realise that Dress and mannequin are probably not the best way to present the project.

People often relate mannequin to person, because they are the same scale as human, therefore the attention might be on the mannequin, not the drawing …

The second issue is map dress, the drawings are very interesting by themselves, if I put too much focus on “making a dress” there is the danger of losing the project’s meaning. It is more about people on what they are wearing, not making two awesome dresses.
I will keep collecting the drawings on K’Road, now the presentation is much simplified to a 2D presentation, hopefully the focus will be clear.
