Okay. Someone explain this madness. I get that there are wet parts, but how the fuck dose a drop extend out that far?

9 years ago | Likes 488 Dislikes 6

It's a high density paint

9 years ago | Likes 148 Dislikes 2

Color density, and extremely low viscosity

it doesn't, part of this is practical, but it's a comp. Tracked.

I looked into this a while back and found out that it was at least partially edited. Similar ones may not have been though.

Photoshop. There are other colors in the painting which is impossible to do with one drop

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

yes because we totally knew what it was called before

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There is a thin layer of water on the paper in the shape of the butterfly so when the ink hits it it all mixes in ;water doesn't spread

I'm sure the unedited version is still pretty cool, but the answer to all these questions is "video editing software"

As far as the video goes, it is a merging of physical elements of watercolor paint/ink with digital elements of fluid-dynamics simulations.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That makes sense. I do a lot of watercolor and there's nothing you could do to make it look like that.

This is actually fake, this is not how it works BUT, I will get proof. One moment.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

http://imgur.com/FP98nf5 The "ink" moves across in layers which would NOT happen if it was a single drop of ink. If you watch the video 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

it show the ink spreading and then this next layer on top slightly bevelled spreading and then another after that. This just isn't 2/3

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

possible even with copper infused ink to give it more weight and the reddish color. It's still cool looking though so can't be too mad lol.

Can understand somewhat, but can someone REALLY explain what's going on? Like to a 5 year old?

The paper was prepared for the ink, which is why the pattern is so specific. Probably made to repel the ink until it covered the whole image

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You can even see how the ink covered a spot of paper and then was repelled to make part of the wing pattern

It looks like its embossed, meaning some areas of the paper is higher than others, so as the color spreads through the water it settles 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 44 Dislikes 1

To the lower areas of paper 2/2

And colors underneath already on the paper!

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I was guessing that the color thing has something to do with the size of the particles that make up each color.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The ink probably isn't black, just so concentrated it looks like it. When spread out, most dark inks go from black to their specific colors

9 years ago | Likes 110 Dislikes 1

I'm guessing the paper is pre-treated with certain chemicals. As it reacts or soaks or whatever, it changes predictably.

9 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 1

Yeah that's what I think as well. Dude's showing off in a few seconds but he spent at least 2 hours painting that in basically invisible ink

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

Or he probably 'painted' beforehand with a wet brush with only water and then let the concentrated ink disperse across the page. I think?
