[WEEK 02: Hide & Reveal] Back To The Drawing Board!

Ah, well I presented my sketches and the final outline I'd printed out, over to Mr. Ernesto. He prefers one other sketch I had taken out from another idea, which was something along the lines of the traditional Wayang Kulit (yes, straight and flat out 'hide & reveal' essence right there). He gazed upon the image below, and asked which I'd preferred to work on more. I mentioned the magic theme, but he definitely seemed more definite on the wayang kulit theme. I do agree though, despite having to precisely cut-out this intricate - but rather very direct; design, it definitely wins as just the image itself with no typography directly translates the cultural procedure of the show; for the penglipur lara to hide, and for the story to be presented & portrayed (reveal) by these amazing hand-carved characters. 

The particular sketch above is one that I had done of. The fellow here, is Bima.
I was asked by Mr. Ernesto to work on changing the design of Bima's headgear, by using traditional indian henna designs, hence the reason why I titled this post as such. Time to research, resketch, retrace and repost!
