project #1 lost and found

description

It took too long, so I can only vaguely remember some of his outline. When I was very young, my parents were willing to buy me some small toys, and the little penguin was my favorite. When I knew nothing,I kept holding him. However, just like events in childhood, too much time will dilute people's memories. Even if I am only 21 years old, I still cannot fully remember all his patterns. I only know that according to people's aesthetic point of view, he is very ugly. I went to ask my grandparents. They also have some vague memories of dolls. Throughout the afternoon, an old man and a young man sat at the table, thinking about the time before, thinking about the appearance of a doll.

design process

This job is very complicated for me. My grandfather and I don't remember exactly what he looked like. So I first started with the body. Because it is a children's toy, its color is close to the color of grapefruit pulp. The hands are on both sides. The humanoid dolls always come back to bring a sense of closeness to children. I couldn't determine the exact shape of his face, eyes, eyeballs, and nose, so I asked my grandfather. According to his description, I made some shapes and added colors. Then I used a very light gray to make the foot, his foot is like a soft ball. Regarding the background, I don't think I can remember where he is anymore, so she will only exist in my memory. I think the gray-white background is a very appropriate color.

reflection

I don't remember the exact appearance of the missing object, and the image in the brain is blurred with only a few important features. Even though my grandfather and I spent an afternoon trying to think about his looks. I can only say with certainty that my mobile phone has all the information that can be collected, and finally presents this specific appearance. I kept holding paper and pen that afternoon so that I could record some fragmentary clues at any time. By the way, I can draw on the paper on the back. I think pictures can inspire people's memory more than words suggest. For some reason, I lost communication with partners. Of course, this is very regrettable, but I think that if I consider it alone, it will not be affected. (Although I use my grandfather as a teammate) I realized that our initial thoughts were very vague and very simple. To commemorate the past of the afternoon, my grandpa provided many clues. For design, this is like the process of adding details gradually after drafting the sketch. The process is very pleasant.
