Suggester Says: The colors are abstract and the perspective makes it very ineteresting to look at. You get to wondering how he changed the picture to make it look like it does.

Description

Making art with pencils these days :#1:

I had this saved on my computer for a couple of months and I never really thought about posting it until now :D


The idea was to show a windmill pattern by placing the pencils in a shape of a square and rotate it by 45°. However, the picture seemed idle and after a few changes on the colour sequence, I noticed it needed something more. I began to flip and rotate the picture until I got this fairly attracting pattern.
Kind of hypnotizing in its own weird way, isn't it?


The pencils I photographed were taken from my marvelous Bruynzeel pencil can which I used for my Perception and Reconcile drawings :eager:


I'm using them for a new conceptual self portrait. As strange as it sounds, people asked me for a new self portrait 8D so I'm drawing one with a twist! You'll see once it's done. C:


Cheers everyone! :heart: Have a great Sunday!

'Love it! Colorful, crisp, and very appealing. 👍👍 Playing with reflection and rotation is one of the first things I ever did when I got interested in digital imagery.

(Maybe I ought to post a few of those old kaleidoscopic wallpaper tiles along with my share-worthy "whole" photos... once I finally join the other side of creating/consuming here on DA.)
