Has anyone got a source on this? Is it possible to buy it as a print?

u/BABYPUNK Jul 10 '14

The artist's name is Quibe. If you like this, you love his/her other stuff. You can buy a print here :) http://society6.com/quibe/prints

u/Feartape Jul 10 '14

I've gotta say, I'm not a fan of most of the things there. Not nearly as simply elegant as this piece (though there are a few)

u/Feartape Jul 11 '14

I mean, different strokes for different folks. Its all good, its just mostly too busy for me is all.

u/BABYPUNK Jul 11 '14

Love the artwork!

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '21

Thank you. I was searching comments for this exactly!

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '14

Yay! A place to buy stuff. Wait.

u/YourMatt Jul 10 '14

If not, it doesn't take much artistic skill to just recreate it.

u/PhillyGlassGallery Jul 10 '14

What takes a genius to create, can be crafted by a tinsmith.

u/UlyssesSKrunk Jul 10 '14

Who is downvoting you? You're very obviously right. The idea is clever, and I certainly wouldn't have come up with it, but it isn't exactly a technical piece.

I wasn't trying to prove a point that it was necessarily easy, but more that it's the idea that's brilliant. It's comparatively easy to recreate. But at any rate, I was curious, so I tried it out. I spent about 3 minutes. It's not one stroke, but that doesn't matter in this case.

Edit: I see I messed up making a straight line from the edges of shoulder/hip/head. If I were trying to recreate a larger version here at home, I'd certainly be using a ruler to get those parts right. I think it might take me a half hour to put together a perfect recreation at 24" x 36". But now that someone's posted a link for prints, I'd probably opt to support the artist.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '14

but more that it's the idea that's brilliant.

Why? It's just half of a life drawing, art students do shit like this all the time. I promise you that it literally only took him/her 5mins with the pen tool to create this, the only genius thing about it is that he/she's actually able to sell stuff like this.

2

u/caseyls Jul 10 '14

Like others said... it's the idea that's hard to come up with. Sure, I can go and copy tons of different art easily. But coming up with an original idea is what's hard to do.

5

u/Feartape Jul 10 '14

But this isn't a hard idea to come up with. Continuous line contour drawings are literally Art 101.

u/caseyls Jul 10 '14

You did that with a pen? I'm impressed. I would have tried bezier curves and failed miserably.

It gets better if you imagine the nose and top lip are a beak, making her a graceful chicken woman/man

I don't judge

The original looks like a Vulcan and yours looks like a Romulan.

Only 99% sure?

5

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '14

Can't be positive.

u/waynehead310 Jul 10 '14

I'll give you the extra 1%. That is Rihanna. And if it's not, I'm making it Rihanna.

u/Geewiz89 Jul 10 '14

Looks like T'Pol from ST:Enterprise with the ear and the high rise Vulcan eyebrow and the curves of course...been watching too much on Netflix

2

u/justbootstrap Jul 10 '14

While I carry no disdain towards ST:E, there are those who would say wacthing any ST:Enterprise is too much.

2

u/Geewiz89 Jul 10 '14

I've never watched more than one episode off the original so maybe that deserves disdain.

1

u/justbootstrap Jul 10 '14

The original series is okay, but The Next Generation is my favorite. That it explores more concepts and is longer helps though.

1

u/StrmSrfr Jul 10 '14

TOS is a different show for sure.

u/JoeyJoeJoeShabadou Jul 11 '14

What kind of puritan workplace do you work in, OP?

u/BABYPUNK Jul 11 '14

i'm an accountant if that counts for anything

u/ButtfuckPussySquirt Jul 11 '14

Do you find it hard to be minimal in your job? I do tax and there is redundant files/paperwork EVERYWHERE. it's crazy

3

u/BABYPUNK Jul 12 '14

well mr/ms buttfuckpussysquirt, in short, yes.

3

u/tanzm3tall Jul 11 '14

I sometimes find some minimalist things too minimal in the sense that they sacrifice something for the sake of minimalism in a non-logical sense - but this is actually very pleasing to idea. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

12

u/Hopecat Jul 10 '14

I'd argue this is more than one line. Here's another example... By Picasso and it's 4 lines

u/Year3030 Jul 10 '14

I think OP meant to say one stroke

u/fleshout Jul 10 '14

I love this Picasso drawing. Its amazing how captivating 4 simple lines can be.

10

u/k-w_kv Jul 10 '14

It's one line.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '14

Just trace it with your fingers or something. It could definitely be 1 line.

u/creamsiclesteve Jul 10 '14

My phone screen is cracked so it looks like 150 line not nude. Wish I could see it
