Who says that drawing with a 3D pen, is mostly for kids?

I created this 3D hand glider artwork, as a gift to a very good friend of mine - a passionate glider pilot. It took me around 10 hours of work that I enjoyed fully. The model is built in origami style, and the design is based on the actual hand glider that he flyes with. I always wanted to create something that's glowing in the dark, and this one was perfect to start with :)

Process

  1. I started playing with a piece of paper, and made an origami hand glider. I liked how it looked, so why not draw it in 3D too?

  2. I built the wireframe of the glider, in white.

  3. I filled the wireframe with the 3 fluorescent plastic colors. The red model that's going across the right wing represents 2 initials (name of the person I gave this to as a gift).

  4. Final version - Ta-daaaam!

  5. Wrap it up and make it a gift.

First model - testing

Coolio. I'd like to see you tackle a subject dear to my heart: miniatures/figurines and gaming dice ;)

Oh yes, that would be interesting :) Will let you know when I do.
