The Illustrated Self - Visual Ideas Again

The one to one has helped my development a lot. I'm focusing a lot more on designing myself as a character and trying to simplify myself down as much as possible.

I want to visualise my general uninterested expression that I happen to have on a regular occasion, no matter what situation I'm in.

At the moment I'm practising my own face, I want to visualise how bored I always look in the best way possible, as well as considering simplification.

Should I use POSCA pens for my final A2 design?

Should I use more exaggerated colours?

Will using brighter colours make it look less like me?

 I think I've cracked how I want the character of myself to look.

I like the idea of changing elements of my face slightly every time.

Can I think of enough ideas of how my face can change each time to make a whole A2 poster?

Should I use POSCA or paint?

I'm thinking POSCA at the minute but it might change to paint (I need to experiment).

How large should I make the faces?

I have made an extensive list of things I could be doing where my expression doesn't change. Some things relate a lot more closely to my mind map than others.

Should I do 9 or 6 variations of my face?

Which ones should I choose?

I am going to continue in my sketchbook by creating the designs to see which of them will be the most suitable for my final piece.

My A3 sketchbook will be where I experiment with paint and POSCA to see which medium will best suit my final design ready for the end of year show.
