Static Face

My portrait depicts myself eating ramen and feeling blissful. I got this idea when I was hungry at one midnight.

As the mouse is pressed, number of noddles in the ramen bowl starts decreasing, shown by the fading yellow color inside the bowl.

As noddles start to enter the mouth, the yellow ellipse inside the mouth gets more yellowish, representing more noodles inside.

My face also grows fatter because I’m filling my stomach with calories.

Meanwhile, the blushing on my face starts to become more reddish, because ramen makes me feel warm.

When I am eating the ramen, my facial expression is changing constantly, with hair, brows and lips moving.

I encountered some difficulties when doing the work, such as specifying the coordinates of curves. The problem was solved after I started to use the curve tool on Creative Coding class website. In addition, at first I didn’t label the meaning of each sentences. So the codes were a bit messy. After labelling the sentences, I could identify their uses easily.
