@stygg—

Well, the analemma curve was certainly something new for me!

Oh, and I discovered that M.C. Escher preceded all of us with not only a Moebius strip with ants traveling its one side, but...

To get back on subject here, I just learned a little about the Analemma Curve this morning. To wit:

An analemma is a diagram showing the deviation of the Sun from its mean motion in the sky, as...

Stygg, all those small shapes are a result of having a very detailed reference image.

A camera with a macro lens (like most Smart phones) can be your best friend. I have half a mind to illustrate...

There is never any reason why you'd do a drawing without reference, stygg. Is it a competition to see how good you can draw with both arms tied behind your back? :) Norman Rockwell, one of the...

Paul, you're a breath of fresh air around here. Some people around here have in their own personal INI file:

Bring it, Paul...

Paul, I'd like to see some more work on this piece. To which you're free to replay, "Stick it, Bouton."

I'm not "getting" a visual cue as to what type of material the purple spheres are...

Well, stygg, you worked some more and made my post largely unnecessary here! :)

What I've done below (and you've done better) is to balance a shadow (opposite of the highlight), with specular...

Walks in the park are particularly difficult after an idiot breaks his leg on his owns stairs so he can only sue himself.

Stygg, your progression is an amazement to watch. Keep it up and repeat if...

Okay, visual pun for the day:

Very nice and clever drawing, albacore!

Fred, I love it!

Um, Rik, that is a brown egg, not gold. Gold eggs would have specular reflections, as covered in the January 2015 TV tutorial.

Besides, I don't know how to draw a goose.

(I drew te chicken in...

Rik, you are spoiling all the fun of this thread with facts and accuracy.

A Fox News reporter said so, therefore it has to be true.

Oh, and "nyah!"

"Eternal" and "Infinite" are definitionally different, but here goes a very large riddle anyhow:

Will everyone get the Easter Egg joke you have here? Apple headquarters are located at 1 Infinite Loop Drive.

:)

Beautiful reflective look, Paul. I quite imagine perfect funhouse...

Certainly within the space/time of Infinity, yes, Rik.

Woah! Does your drawling look as though there's a hidden Escher-like optical illusion going on there!?

My Best,

Gary

99% of my body is resting; it's all in the wrists. :)

Hi John,

I believe that if you Google the phrase "Mobius Strip", you'll see plenty of examples suitable for basing an illustration on that represents a 1 sided object in a 2D domain.

My Best,

Okay, okay, honestly, I did use Xara for a lot of the elements in this video! :)

Xara was the mezzanine app to get 2D graphics ideas into a 3D-ish realm. This whole thing was inspired by Paul's...

God, Rik, that's magnificent, without any reference to Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), who used the phrase excessively in all the Toy Story flicks!

Superb, subtle, really a pinpoint's view...

Love it.

Love it a lot.

No, but I'm guessing his legs are going to get real tired!

:)


Nice on, Rik. Now, and you do a Mobius strip with two bicylists (or unicylists like in The Prisoner), one on top one on the...

Paul, you know, I can get to meet only so many new people online before I don't get any work done, but you, man...I just looked at your repost of work and I'm totally in awe of you, Paul, sincerely....

How do you measure that which cannot be measured?

How do you get down from an elephant?

You don't. You get down from a duck.

Woah! Heady stuff, Rik; I need to catch up, if possible!
