More sketches, experimenting with abstracting and simplifying the human face

One most rewarding experience: Sorting through old files and finding jewels like this. 3D experiment from 2009, I believe, using a distorted normal map on the foreground model and transparent color projection on the background.

Every once in a while my sketchbook leads me back to animal kingdom’s great majesties; here’s some sketches from today’s pages.

A slightly similar line pattern from my sketchbook (pages of 29.01.2012) that follows a drawing logic and explores the pattern that the logic can generate when applied.

Line drawings from my sketchbook (pages of 29.01.2012), that follow a certain logic, or drawing algorithm, if you will. There is something enticing and meditative about having a drawing follow a concrete logic, which in this case, is very geometric and still organic. Once the logic is there, it can be reapplied to a new paper, and a new flow of lines from which a similar organism of lines starts to grow.

There’s some prints of my 3D artworks available on my society6 store eagerly waiting to decorate some walls out there.

What makes a pattern unique, what distinguishes it from others, and what do all patterns have in common, from the fractal offspring of veins in a leave to the swirl my pencil makes on paper?

Yet another illustration from the archive, done in 2011.

One of my first pieces done in a mixture of 3D and 2D image manipulation, spring 2010.

Good start into the new year everyone :)
