Hey Imgur,
Some may have seen my previous post (Single line spiral drawing: http://imgur.com/gallery/qv1xc ).
I program a plotter to draw illustrations in different styles with a pen. I promised to make a video as soon as I get a new plotter, so here it is. The video is fast forward at about 60 times the original speed and shows how the above Chaplin drawing was made. The whole drawing process takes about two hours so you only see the middle part. The reason for that is simply that my camera does not have enough memory storage to record everything.
Bonus, the drawing process of my spiral style.
This is a drawing of The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. This drawing is made on Aquarelle paper of A3 format and I used a Japanese Bruch pen for this. Because the pen is quite delicate it has to be moved very slowly. It took about 8 hours to finish this drawing. I made this drawing for a fellow Imgurian who ordered it at my shop, he was an awesome customer. Cheers to you Maarten!
The Great wave from a different angle.
The same motive of The Great Wave off Kanagawa only scaled down to 7 cm (2.7 inch). Scaled down the drawings have a lot more contrast.
This is a panda, again the drawing is about 7 cm in diameter.
Some images from my previous post:
This is a portrait of Ryan Gosling.
A portrait of Emma Stone. The single line starts in the middle and moves to the outer parts in a spiral.
All three drawings together.

Shit, I was impressed thinking it was done by hand till I realised it was done by a fancy dot matrix printer

@OP Have to come up with another site bro, I'm boycotting facebook.
LinesLab
I absolutely respect your decision, I will take is as a mental support!

Glad that you like it!

I feel like "art" made by a program is less "art" & more "Product". You dont look at a toothbrush & think "Woah, such creativity & design!"
DeviatedPrevert
ok, but how is it done?

oh, thats a bit disappointing actually ... i was hoping it was done by hand somehow

It would be cool to make a portrait of someone using their heart beats (ecg).
LinesLab
Funny that you say this. I working on something that makes the portrait from the sound eaves of a recording.

What program are you using to generate these single-line files?
LinesLab
I write my own in python

Also did some drawings with my plotter a while back >>

LinesLab
That's pretty cool! Do you threshold the image first and apply Potrace, and then hatch the rest? It is a very nice style!
Bonsaipanda
The basic image is done using gaussian difference to get the outlines and the filled areas, then the hatching is done from a thresholded >>
Bonsaipanda
area. Then into PoTrace to get the outlines and Clipper to process the actual plot. : )
LinesLab
It is very nice. I have a style with similar hatching. Where the lines are not totally straight. But your result feels more natural.
Bonsaipanda
I actually tried a hatch pattern that I did with a pen, but the plotter kept struggling with the lines. > . <

LinesLab
Oh wow usually it takes at least one hour until someone leaves a comment like this. You broke some kind of record here I guess.
jumpyjsn
Idk why, but I expected dickbutt in this
LtMushroomCock
I'm pretty fast... If you catch my meaning ;)
benm421
An hour? Really? That seems awfully long.

Fuck it just draw a lemon party

Hmmm was hoping they were done by hand since they are labeled as Drawings
Inmate45
Yeah, that was my first thought... like, holy fuck how did someone do that. But still, I'm reasonably impressed with the printing too.
doyouguysrememberpogs
And the pens sitting next to the pictures
LinesLab
This is just the pen used to draw the images. But I am sorry if I have not made the post clear.
doyouguysrememberpogs
No worries still cool, and good work!
thatsALOTofnuts75
Ya its totally misleading to call them Drawings and have a pen sitting next to the final products when a plotter is doing the work
LinesLab
Well they are drawn with the pen. But I will try to be clearer in the future
thatsALOTofnuts75
Also have trouble believing you drew anything since your "drawing" is the first photo that shows up when you Google "Emma Stone portrait"
