information

to recreate skin tones I'll use the at

0:50

symbol cuz it has quite a large surface

0:52

area brick work is underscores and

0:54

capital eyes to get the vertical lines

0:57

from a distance it could quite easily be

1:00

like a print or an illustration where

1:01

it's only when the viewer gradually

1:03

nears closer and closer to the image

1:05

that all of these individual letters

1:07

numbers and punctuation marks are

1:10

revealed everyone is drawn to people's

1:12

eyes so that's the hardest facial

1:13

feature to get right they have to be

1:16

perfect something else I will do to add

1:18

another layer of complexity to the

1:20

drawings is conceal hidden words or

1:23

phrases uh for for the viewer to

1:26

find how long does all this typing and

1:29

tapping take something that's A4 size

1:31

could take a week There's a picture of

1:32

the London Skyline took two

1:36

months
