Meet Flik R, our featured doodler
Flik R - who chooses to remain in his flickr persona - does fantastical drawings with gelpens and Uniball Signo rollerpens. But rather than be satisfied with that, he keeps going, taking his art farther by using his drawings as the raw material for digital art.
Flik draws the design in pencil first and then erases the drawing so he can still see the outline of each shape. He then colors them in with gel pens.
Using his graphics program, he uses the “negative” command to do an inverse of his drawing with rather spectacular results.
Experimenting with this led him to do some drawings with the negative in mind.
Flik then began selecting triangles from his drawings and using a tile function to make kaliedoscopic patterns!
This drawing and its inverse were used to make all these different patterns.
