Silhouettes from abstraction

Lephenix · Sep 2015

Hello polycounters

!

Here's my process I have been experimenting since 4 days already.
Each silhouette started from an abstract shape (I closed my eyes and scribbled, then I tried to find shapes in these abstract lines

)
It is really fun and challenging.
Here it is:

I did record the process of the last ones. Original time of the video: 1h10
But now it is 5min30:

These are fantastic. Have you ever tried the same technique but in a different medium?

Thanks a lot! Nope i didn't tried yet. I suck at traditionnal painting

.
Sometime I doodle like this with ballpoint pen but you can't erase, rotate, etc...

Yes, can be fun with pen on paper but more annoying when you can't erase

Lephenix · Sep 2015

That's true

. Also I can easily flip the silhouettes in photoshop

This is very interesting! really dynamic with a nice flow to them.
would love to see one of this designs pushed further and see how it ends out.
nice work!
