Okay, this drawing served two purposes when it was made back in 1998. One, was a further design idea for a fake hair care product line for my graphic design class. The other was an experiment for my psychology class. I'd read about an experiment where children drew better representations of something they'd seen the more time had passed between seeing it and drawing it. Artistic talent had no effect on the results they attained.
Story goes like this, I was curious and couldn't figure out what to draw. The conundrum of that experiment was still ringing in my head. Then I remembered something I'd enlarged by hand from a national geographic magazine for a rainforest project in fifth grade that was about the rainforest. That was the time frame I started paying more attention to art rather than writing. I drew this, then inked it. Then went to the library a few days later to see if I could find the photo that was this image. Well I was blown away. The original image was a small piece on a single page, and the from was indeed built like this. The leg bend, the size of the eye, everything. I went to great lengths to prove it. Scanning and enlarginhg the image to do an overlay comparison.
Thus proving to me that long term memory is more vivid than short term. Shame things have to go through my twisted short term to become long term. XD
