Step Two: Linear Destination

Bring the newly drawn object from step one into three dimensions.

Choose a material which is at least 4mm thick, one or more methods of joining as needed. Choose pigments which are the same as those used in the final drawing.
Add to your list of colours the same colour as the square of paper. This MUST be incorporated into the object.
Begin constructing the 3D object.


In this case the paper itself was glued onto the object.


Build up the thickness and shapes of the object as feels natural, let it grow.


Experiment with carving, sanding, cutting, breaking and creating different textures.


Once you are happy with the form, Begin adding colour.


Experiment with different thicknesses and transparencies of colour. Try creating depth with artificial shadows and highlights.


Remember to pay attention to the back/bottom of your object.

Once complete, step back and enjoy the final product.
Start to look for new forms implicit within the new object. They may spark off the creation of a new piece.
Tomorrow, try drawing the object you have just created, following the same steps you have just completed.
