zooming in


As I mentioned on the previous post, this sculpture was a present from my dear professor and mentor Novem Mason. As I struggled to draw it, I asked Suzanne: What the hell was Novem thinking? Suzanne joked and responded: "He wanted you to have a hard time drawing it." I remembered I told Novem once that that the numerous planes in this sculpture made it very interesting. Novem simply replied: "When you design, you must think in 3D. Avoid designing in plan view; people don't experience objects and spaces in plan view, but in 3D." Cheers to that!

Vía el blog de Pote he conocido el tuyo... y me encanta! Tengo dos o tres bocetos a tinta y como que me has motivado a desarrollar aún más la técnica. Me encantó, de verdad. ¡Orgullo dominicano!

Great attention to detail. And it does look very hard to draw.
