093 - Virtual Plasticine

Day 93. I've played with 123D Catch and 123D Creature before, but this was made using 123D Sculpt. Basically you start with a lump of "virtual plasticine" and then push it, pull it, extrude it, sharpen it, etc. This weird looking head started as a sphere, but was slowly modelled into this shape, then painted and patterned.

I've been really very impressed with these 123D apps from AutoDesk. I probably need to spend a bit more time with them so that what I make doesn't look quite so bizarre, but I think they could do some very cool things.

075 - Wire Drawing

Day 75. I had lunch today with some friends from art school whom I hadn't seen for quite a while. As we enjoyed lunch and each other's company we talked a lot about creativity and the effect that attending art school had on the way we see the world.

As we talked I noticed some "wire drawings" on the gallery wall, so I thought I'd have a go at making one myself. This "drawing" is made of bent wire (soldering wire actually). After photographing it on the kitchen floor with my iPad mini I used Google's Snapseed filters to boost the contrast, brightness and sharpness.
