Hand Drawn 3D
Here’s something that I really could have related to about 30 years ago. Browsing Wired news as I do sometimes, I came across an article about a fellow named Rafael Araujo who uses pencil, paper, ruler, compass, and a whole lot of trigonometric calculations to create hand drawn 3D geometry. This is old-school. He has introduced perspective into his calculations and uses construction lines which wind up being part of the art. And then he adds acrylic paint to make it look more like art than math.
Check out the Wired site. It’s cool to see people with this kind of skill still exist, although it’s a shame they probably don’t get rewarded for that skill.
The article seems impressed with the “detail”, but the detail is just all the construction geometry.
I wonder what he does with these paintings?
If you continue further into his website, you see that he also does some landscapes and even abstract Pollock-esque stuff. I was never a fan of Pollock, but I’d put some of this guys’ splatter paint in my new office, I think.
