vector Works
Vector graphics are based on an ingenious mathematical system; which allows you to reduce or enlarge an image without losing sharpness.
For that reason, I was initially very intrigued to using Adobefresco’s vector brushes.
I looked forward to see my sketches in perfect resolution on large screens. But…
When I first tried to draw with them, I was disappointed, all the lines were sharp, without any further subtleties.
It was a dynamic flatness that didn’t appeal to me at all. I then tried to reduce the radius of the brush to a thin thread and began to frantically draw, a thousand small chaotic strokes.
That together formed a dynamic and nuanced surface – that is the Vector Works.
It was a similar technique to how I drew in my previous thread’s portraits. But the difference here is that the vector images only consist of thin ‘threads’ while the threads collection is a type of mixed media where the shadows are mostly drawn with a soft chalk.
