“I’m passionate about furniture, interior design, art installations, architecture and of course about graphic design,” he shared with Grafik. “I always try to mix these different influences within my own work. There is something interesting to me about the compositions I can create and the way that shapes interact with each other, together with a sense of space or volume, and referring mostly to real materials.”

Born in Buenos Aires and having spent many years living and working in Copenhagen and Berlin, Zoraidez has recently returned to his native country, where he continues his practice. Each project requires much planning beforehand, fleshing out his ideas first before committing them to paper.

“I really try to develop my ideas for each piece of work outside of the screen, and then after some time I build up something to try out in digital,” explains Zoraidez. “That is when my visual development process really starts. One thing leads to another. When I’m working on the first round of designs, I enjoy making the most of the freedom to create whatever comes to my mind, and whatever I find interesting for that project. From that starting point, you can choose the right way to move forward.”

His work requires translating complicated concepts into simple compositions. “I like to see how shapes and objects interact with each other, and how I can use the way that they look to communicate an idea,” he notes. “Whether in motion or as still image, this is the way I approach a project.”

Take a look at some of his outstanding work:

By incorporating rich and vibrant color palettes, her aim is to deliver imagery that surpasses the brief – focusing on a strong use of color and composition. “When I am creating an illustration in 3D, I start by collecting a lot of real-life references,” she explained her process in an interview with Ballpitmag.

“Once I visualize it in my head, I go straight to 3D and build basic shapes,” she adds. “I spend a good amount of time on creating compositions with those basic shapes. Composition is key! At this stage, I prefer lighting my scene as it helps me in composing and see how shapes react to light. Then I get into adding details to those 3D shapes, play with materials and render to bring my imagination to life.”

After many years of playing around with different aesthetics, she says that she found a passion for creating surreal digital spaces. “I take inspiration from photography, architecture, modern art and textiles,” she says, adding that she looks up to artists like Constantin Brâncuși, Peter Tarka and Cabeza Patata.

Enter her digital world.

Pabst is well-known in the social media world, especially on YouTube where he creates tutorials that explain how his masterpieces are born. His remarkable videos have been watched over 65 million times.

The artist does many different types of drawings, including 3D drawing and trick art. He works with different mediums, uses pencils, oils, pens, paper or cardboard.  

If you scroll through his Instagram feed, you will probably going to be attracted to his 3D illusion art. They look absolutely realistic and are the most popular among his work.

If you are curious to see more of his art, have a look on Instagram or check him out on his website.

His artwork, clean and very much on point, creates mesmerizing visual experiences, even if you’re not the artistic sort of person. But though the finished result is nothing short of spectacular, Tarka says his workflow isn’t anything special.

“I’m a really horrible drawer,” he told Medium,“so I always start the with 3D. Colors and textures are usually the last step for me and there’s a lot of mixing in that stage. I’ve got a selection of my 30–35 favorite kind of materials and I try to mix them with colors and textures to get the right results.”

Drawn to architecture since a very young age, he says that moving to 3D was the natural step for him. “The super realistic and sci-fi designs that were dominating the 3D scene back then didn’t appeal to me, so I decided to move to a bit more of an illustrative approach,” he says.

The most amazing part about Tarka? The fact that he’s taught himself everything he needed to know. “I’m fully self taught, studied economics and dropped out of school after obtaining my bachelor degree,” he says. “I didn’t even think about doing a masters degree.”

So it comes as a surprise that the talented (and sought after) illustrator stumbled into 3D art by mere accident.

“I suffered a massive injury to my drawing hand before starting my final year at university, to confront this I began to learn to use 3D software to make my work while my hand healed,” writes Sachs on his personal website. “I now have two fully functioning hands and continue to make work across and around the two mediums.”

Talking about the result of his accident in an interview with wertn, Sachs said: “I wouldn’t have started doing it if that hasn’t happened. In the end, that’s a blessing honestly. I know it’s a bit cheesy but it changed my life! Because I really enjoy drawing and I like my drawings but I couldn’t have any commercial success with them, no client would use this for advertisement.”

“For me, it’s really fun to have 2 separate practices, they’re always informing the other. If I don’t want to draw, I’ll do some 3D stuff and the 3D will make me feel different about drawing, they’re always keeping the other one fresh and it keeps you from being bored,” he concluded.

So it’s little to no wonder that huge brand names have caught onto the hype, with collaborations with BBC, Channel 4, Disney, and Google, to name just a few.

Talking about his artistic process with wertn, Rowan explained: “I begin with sketches, unfocussed, free drawing and let what comes, come. At some point a logic will begin to form and I’ll start to mold that into something that can translate into a short.”

“I keep my process hand drawn and on paper until I feel it’s defined enough to work up in 3D, from that point I work directly from my sketches in 3Ds Max,” he added. “Once in 3Ds, each phase blends with the next. I always begin with modelling, then generally onto texturing, lighting, rigging and eventually animation. Rigging is probably the most labour intensive process, as most of my characters revolve around a clearly defined mechanism, so it has to be fluid and feel like it could tangibly exist, a good rig is essential for that.”

Now their studio works with giants like the New York Times, Apple, and Google. And it’s easy to say how they caught the world’s attention.

Their cheerful characters, with round heads, thin necks, and fashionable outfits, are a force to be reckoned with. Menzies, an illustrator and craftswoman, and Reverter, a 3D artist and animator, work side by side when createing their distinct pieces.

“We care about diversity and female empowerment and we joined forces to create a world of playful yet strong characters, full of energy and positivity,” their website states.
