This figure might look nicer in wireframe, without colors or shades, as surfaces turn into nothing after they’ve gone behind what is up front. (Which is available now. Check the Linework link below the image.) I’ve tried to show this … Continue reading →

For this figure I decided to transform a surface two times over a single object. Usually I work with a single transformation from one state to another, which can be confusing enough to look at. With two transformations the object … Continue reading →

In this figure I experiment with connecting things with different angles. This is actually a pole and a blocky arc connected through four bars. The pole, to the left, has a constant size, but when the bars connect to it … Continue reading →

This figure was another experiment to work with non-orthogonal surfaces. It is a bit more work, both when drawing and shading, but the figures get a different feel to them. They don’t come naturally when thinking up impossible figures though, … Continue reading →

Sketching this one on paper was not very hard, but when drawing it on the computer it got a bit complicated. In this design all of the sides depend on what they are connected to, so basically if you increase … Continue reading →

Unlike an ordinary impossible tribar, this one if made up of boards. As a consequence the connections between the boards have a more defined direction, and it just looks more interesting, too. Tribar5 2007-12-30 Linework | Fillwork If you follow … Continue reading →

I made this prior to the release of Super Mario Galaxy. It features a running Mario as seen in the first Super Mario Bros. game, as well as a mushroom. Stairs3 2007-10-29 Linework | Fillwork If you walk clockwise around … Continue reading →
