coffee art

This is my A0 group project for 2d fundamental. The group consists of  me, Maya, and Monica, which are all from Indonesia. Our theme is homesick , because we are kind of missing everything in our hometown. The pupil is made of photos of our memories .
At first, we wanted to edit the photo that we were going to attached for the pupil at photoshop to sephia but then the lecture suggested us to try using the media coffee instead of using photoshop for coloring the pupil. After fishing the pupil, we decided to make it monochrome.  What I found difficult in this was to darken the color. It needed to add on after it dried then added on again and again to get the darker color.

 

The gradient of the face, we used sponge to create the texture of the face

then for the teardrops we use sponge that is soaked with coffee and pressed the sponge by holding the A0 vertically up or down then absorbed the water with tissue.

The A0 still hasn't completed 100% we haven't done the pupil white ball reflection. Moreover, we still need to touch up the skin of the face which our lecture said it's like someone that has problem with his/her skin and still a lot of negative comment of our work. We still need to touch up
