Throughout my career I have always been open new ideas and techniques in the creative field, from the early days of computer graphics to augmented reality.

Many years ago I read about Picasso painting with light and although he wasn’t the first* this lead me to explore new ways of drawing. First came the Quantel paintbox, painting in video, then Photoshop painting on the computer and more recently drawing in VR with apps like Tilt Brush. I would still encourage people to use sketch books and pencils before moving to VR headsets.

Recently, I have been teaching at a university in Norway and been surprised how liberating the students found drawing in a 3D space. During the pandemic I noticed people were turning to art as way of relaxing and VR headsets were in demand. So I took 10x individuals with a wide range of artistic experience and got them to do a series of life drawings then switch half way to headsets. All of them found the experience enjoyable and I hope that you will too. Welcome to Pencils B4 Pixels.
