It’s not always easy to understand how certain drawings are made.
Originally from England, Korvin is completely self-taught.
His drawing changed after he began incorporating geometry into his style.
One of his most recent creations features three flying cranes that create a perfect circle with their wings.
The key, of course, is using a compass to create proper measurements.
Afterward, he simply has to go over the sketch with his pen.
I like to deconstruct ancient symbols and then put my own spin on them.
For this design, I was inspired by a Japanesekamon, Korvin says.
Kamonsare Japan’s version of a family crest.
I believe they’re always made geometrically with organic elements like leaves and animals.
They’re really simple, almost like a logo or a stamp to indicate a family’s lineage.
Artist Zak Korvin creates his own version of a Japanese family crest.
He used geometry to render three flying cranes, which create a perfect circle with their wings.
