Pretty girl & Just a girl

*Please press the screen to see what's the difference!*

This is the girl I drew. In the sketch, I drew the head of my sketch, Helly's torso, and Michael's legs. As mentioned below, my ideas and Heli's ideas are similar, so I decided to reinterpret this assignment and draw a random girl on Instagram. Of course, this picture drawn in pseudocode has some negative meaning. But the message I want to convey is that even the pretty girls on Instagram are just ordinary girls when the lights are off. In other words, in a world where SNS is playing, we often see pretty girls on Instagram, compare them with our faces, and experience discouragement. Rather than using a positive visual element for this phenomenon, I wanted to show the girl's appearance directly after the lights were turned off and show that they are all just the same human being. After receiving this assignment for the first time, I immediately thought that using the mouse pressed we learned last time would be very effective in reflecting my ideas.

Sketches

The first sketch is mine. I decided to draw a pretty random girl on Instagram. The face is pretty like a Barbie doll and the upper body is skinny as if there is no organ. I had to leave the lower body to imagination, but I drew the lower body of Mickey Mouse at random.

The second one Heli's drawing. As she described her sketch, her drawing idea is quite similar to mine. Compared to my drawing, my face is pretty barbie and my legs are random, but Heli's body got a pig face and pretty model's legs.

The last one is Michael's.

My reflection

Instead of writing millions of the lines for a repetitive feature, 'function' helps me navigate code way much better than we used to do. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet my expectations that I would not have to scroll a lot because of the many details in my drawing this week, but it has decreased significantly compared to the way we used to know. Now I can call a function with arguments to generate them faster; this is genuinely inspiring.
