*Quick Thought*

I am continuing to make people but am getting to the point where I don't want to continue making without some feedback. There are a couple avenues I can go down--people like the ones I have been making, people with my heads and magazine bodies, people with my bodies and found heads, or a combination of all three. Additionally, I don't know if I should exaggerate these bodies more or if I should try and keep them pretty realistic--or, again, both. And FURTHERMORE, I don't know if I should include black and white bodies or just stick with color.

This all comes back to...why? I guess it kind of stems from the fact that I remember certain individuals and others I forget. I want to dedicate more time towards those I remember by recreating them paperly and those who were merely passers by, I kind of want to just get over with. I do, however, still want them to be interesting to look at (and some I will make from head to toe) but if I feel this visual interest can be accomplished by placing one of my heads on a body I find in a magazine, then I think it's something I should consider. If this is not going to look good, though, I will take the time to make EEEEEEVVVVVVVEEEERRRRRYYYYYYYYTTTTHHHHHHIIIIINNNNNNGGGG. Just what, exactly, I am talking about will become more apparent when I post my people this week.

Also, I would like to note here that I have not received a post from ANYONE (excluding my mom and dad but that doesn't really count because they have just been giving me compliments and saying how wonderful my project is looking--not that I don't like this, but...) and I would really appreciate some feedback.

    Well, it is just your ol' mom commenting again but you did ask for your feedback and I'm here to give it to you. I think your idea to incorporate three different methods of making people is a good one, i.e., making your heads/bodies and using found heads/bodies from magazines. I definitely think visual interest can be achieved by these methods. And just my preference, my vote goes for doing the characters in color and not black and white, but that's just my humble opinion.

    I honestly don't know why no one is responding to your entries. I think your blog is phenomenal and really enjoy reading/viewing all the updates. Keep up the great job, Laura!

    P.S. I think you could exaggerate SOME characters for added interest but not all of them. Hope my input helps you.

    As your most artistic and talented friend (...right), I really like the idea of having black and white people also. The ones you're making are SO detailed that it might be a cool contrast to have some of the people be in black and white.

    I also told my mom about your blog, so you might be getting comments from more than one mom soon!
