Before I just got confused about how can I find my face looks like something.
Many people talk about my face shape. They said it made they can know that's me while seeing me braining something - looking at one invisible point.
My face shape is like an oval - or as my sister says "looks like a reversed triangle" - I'm not quite comfortable when people saying that straight to me though. But now it did help me out with the problem in doing my work. So I tried to find things looks like my face.
There is a small dust vacuum cleaner in my house. And the shape of it is round, quite big near the handle and smaller at the "mouth"(for collecting dust) - i felt it will fit my face shape. Then I took photos with many different views of it and began editing.
The most interesting thing is when I resize it smaller to fit my face size, it just perfectly fit every curves. I don't need to cut or add any curve. And the metal part with circle holes on it made me think of a mask.
The next part is for the eye and my hair. That time I got a curly hair and I always let it fall in the front of my shoulder. I thought of the handle of the vacuum but it just too straight for my purpose. Then the string is the perfect choice. About the eye, I don't want to make collage of both two, it's just irrelevant, so I made for one. The power button of the machine is really cool for this and I add it as an eye. While adjusting it to the eye, i found a cool depth when i took the button photo. Then I highlight it a little bit and made it merge a small space with the skin and the metal. A stress on the whole portrait like i want it to be. Because I like my eyes most on my face.
The highlight really did a main part in doing this work. It increased the quality and the emotional look that i want to create. The black background is all what i need to complete the collage.
