Sometimes just as I start to think I’ve reached the end of the Internet, it provides me with fascinating new material that I can’t stop sharing. This week’s discovery comes in the form of whiteboards and erasable markers, and these are not your average classroom doodles. Check some of them out in this post!
Artist Gregory Euclide managed to sketch each of these out in 25 minutes on his lunch breaks, in order to de-stress. They’ve all (sadly) been erased, but Euclide doesn’t really seem to care. “I could make them in 25 minutes, so they were not too incredibly precious to me,” he said. “Yes, they were all washed away. I was kind of showing students what could be done with 25 minutes of time.”
Were these mine, I would be so incredibly paranoid about them being tampered with. I just keep staring at them, thinking, “It would just take one swipe of a finger!”
Head on over to the source to read the full interview with Euclide. [via Neatorama]

I couldn’t even do that if I had the rest of my life to try!

@f5ye_angel5@xanga - Not really if you think about it. I really love drawing and working with all kinds of materials. This sounds like it’d be fun. You could use cloth to dab away some of the shading. It’d be very tedious and just be tons of careful layering and shading, but I know some really talented people who would also want to try this.
(Though if you were skeptical, you could argue it looks similar to a charcoal drawing.)
These are so awesome though.

25 minutes of HIS time that is…it’d take me 25 hours, lol!

@f5ye_angel5@xanga - I don’t know, I looked at them closely and it looks like dry erase marker.
These are awesome. I love looking closely at the details, too, to see how he created each effect. It’s seems he has a mastery of the material he is drawing with and on.

@Digital_Angel21@xanga - not just about the fact that they’re only by a dry erase marker, but also under 25 mins. they’re really incredible

@blackspiders@xanga - i’m not saying they’re fake. but i wonder what kind of dry erase markers the artist used.

@f5ye_angel5@xanga - It looks like he used normal dry erase makers, some water and some sort of straight edge.
