Storytelling: 3.2 million dots creates a masterpiece
Posted on 13. Dec, 2011 by Team Blogger in Pushing the Limits, Storytelling
“Hero” by Miguel Endara is a video that has been circulating the viral community for a few days now. If you’re unaware of its existence, you MUST watch this. Hero is a portrait of artist’s Miguel Endara’s father, yet what separates this piece of art from the rest is that it was created entirely out of ink dots – 3.2 million of them in fact. If the idea of it seems painful, imagine being the guy who actually did it! Every wrinkle, hair and shadow was captured and translated onto paper, so it’s no surprise that the image took over 210 hours all up to complete.
Created, Filmed, Produced and Edited (in After Effects CS4) by Miguel Endara, this isn’t the only piece of art he has created. Miguel’s website exhibits a few more of his masterpieces.
Some may find drawing an image out of 3.2 million dots pointless – some may find it amazing. Using only one pen in total however…outstanding.
(Apparently this isn’t a plug for “Sakura Pigma Micron .005“, the pen Endara used. However, I’m sure they’ll be pleased with the free advertisement…)
