Hero – A Drawing Composed of 3.2 Million Ink Dots | Hypebeast

i agree with you when it comes to doing this as projects but it’s amazing because the fact is that most people will not take the time to be that detailed. 

COOL

I did one of these stipple epics when I was a teenager with a trusty kor i noor rapidograph. I’ll never get that summer back.

its not debatable… its in the article.  ” When asked about the pens and pencils he used to create the task he
pointed to the faber-castell F, and micron .005, only needing one pen to
finish the entire thing”  again, learn to read and apparently how to use a pen as well

dude, this guy needs respect for the patience of making this, and the awesome end result.
oh, ive been using this pen for awhile and actually it performs well enough for me to stick with it. although the 0.005 keeps splitting the tip. :(

Yes you may be in art school and yes this is a similar exercise/assignment lots of schools assign to their students. This is still awesome on many different levels.
a.) and most obvious the guy has got skills, very few freshman art students and even working artists have that skill set to make such a piece

b.) this video is highlighting the artist as well as the quality of the pen/ink its serves as a great advertisement for the artist, his love for his father, and how good the pen is because you can make 3.2 million dots with one single pen and it will end up looking awesome. It’s selling that false idea to you art students that you CAN do this too on your first assignment of freshman year when really you won’t get close.

c.) this is just a very very well shot video. It’s not some boring lapse of time from one angle video. keeps you intrigued and an active viewer because we all know what he’s doing from the title of the video, and we could just fast forward to the end to see the end result if we wanted too but it’s the idea that it doesn’t make us want to do that…it keeps us engaged and thus has “hooked” us and you will remember this video…when your trying to do you stippling drawing or you pass some of your classmate’s work in the hall you will remember and compare it to this video and this drawing

and to just stop you before you try and come back with some argument on how there are amazing art students just save it, i’m not knocking art students I was one 6 months ago and there are tons of very very talented students that are the future of the creative world…But saying this video isn’t that impressive and freshman art students do the same stuff your crazy 

They are really nice pens but one problem. The ink runs out pretty fast. He must have went through a 100 pens to make this video.

Lol. Please do teh same

Bravo!

no chance you’ve ever done anything this detailed in your life. yeah, they do make you do stippling, but nothing close to that size or that detailed…

technique is nothing new, the execution and result were awesome. 

No. The mixture of patience and technique and a fantastic end result make this great. Don’t be such an arsehole

Can you stipple like that? HATER

what a douche

That’s freakin amazing!! The detail is incredible!!!

thats incredible!

or 210 hours…

Is there a tool in video editing packages that allow you to do things like count up (dots) or countdown (time) without actually typing in numbers in each frame?

Was i the only one trying to pause the video when that little dot flashed super quick in the beginning?
