In the Exquisite Corpse project, I recreated frida kahlo's Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird by following 8*12 grid system. Then I am exchanging different parts of my drawing and background story with my two partners. And transfer the exquisite corpse drawing into code using functions. In the code part, inspired by my childhood's book, which reader can change figure's clothes by flip different parts of the book.

Design Process

Inspired by Japanese graphic designer Nemury, I recreated Frida Kahlo's Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird by following 8*12 grid system. In the beginning of the process, I created 8*12 grid system based on canvas size 400*600.

After creating the grid system, I start drawing the figure and leaf. And then fill the color.

Reflection

In this project, it is a bit of challenge to combine all different partner's projects into one. However it's fun to see the result.
