Here is my latest submission for www.illustrationfriday.comThe topic this week is "Intricate".
Whew! This week's topic threw me for a loop. I really had a mental workout coming up with something for this one. I made a solid effort to craft a strong solution which cleverly illustrated the concept of intricate versus simply creating a complex drawing and giving it the title of intricate. This was tough for me because I challenged myself to accomplish this task with a simple image. Creating a simple image that illustrates the concept of intricate - now that's a mind bender and also the reason it took me so long to post this week!
Alas, here it is and I think it worked out pretty nicely. Now, here comes the fun part...
WIN THE ORIGINAL SKETCH FOR THIS ILLUSTRATION!
Above I have posted the diagram which I modified (for aesthetic reasons) to use in the illustration on the chalkboard. I will mail this original signed sketch to the first person who can tell me what this diagram is for! Once you post a comment with the answer, click here to find my email address on my main profile page and send me a follow up email so we can correspond about the particulars of mailing the sketch. I'll post an update in the comments section once someone has won so until then...have at it!
I have also posted the original sketch so that you can see what your grand prize looks like. I'm so excited! I really hope someone solves this - have fun!
Arianna (my sister) you're disqualified because you're a smarty pants and I know this is probably easy for you!
CONTEST UPDATE...
Diana Evans has won the original sketch today (March 11th), less than 24 hours after the contest began. Wow! Congratulations, Diana!
You can find her entry/answer in the comments section. Also, here's a link to her blog and website.
Thanks for checking this out!

OOh this is super cool Man!!! I love it! It's smart, brilliant even! Great work!
You are so very welcome my friend. My husband is getting prepared for a trip and we are busy trying to get him out the door. Plus I have a ton of work to do and wanted to post something before friday. I don't know if I will get a chance to post anything for IF this week so I'm trying to get the jump on things. Have a great week my friend!
I really love the original sketch of einstein! Its so fluid and well done with the line weights.
Great job! This little einstein is very cute, and although I would like to win the prize, the equation is very intricate for me.
awesome! i love both the finished illustration and the drawing! great work!
Well, I'd say you definitely accomplished what you set out to do -- seemingly simple illustration that just screams intricate. Fantastic! Well done, but honestly, listening to how you set up the challenge for yourself was stressful. :D I'm too mentally worn to figure out the equation!
Got to love Einstein! Brilliance is so cool! Great illo.
great to see your process from the sketch to the final piece, Einstein is such a perfect fit for this weeks theme. I think math and workings can look really beautiful even though I am rubbish at math, thats probably why I like gridded paper.
I like his wrinkly eyes that how I feel this morning!
Hey Nathanael, thanks fr stopping by. I love your little Einstein dude! Great work. The original sketch is as cool as the finished work! Love the concept. Why didn't I think of that? :)
Wow, I wish I could win! But I bet someone must have won the prize already - it is wonderful to see work process!!
The character is really great! And his expression tells everything!
Hi Nathanael....oh what fun!! I just stepped back into my favorite class...but I have not really used any of my Physics stuff for years....so here is my try at what the chart is all about....
It has to to with Quantum mechanics in physics. It has to do with the number of states at each energy level that are available to be occupied. A high density of states at a specific energy level means that there are many states available for occupation. For example a density of state of zero means no states occuped at that energy leve.
The Fermi energy refers to the energy of the highest occupied quantum state in a system of fermions at absolute zero temperature. (just so you know absolute zero means 0 kelvin which is something like minus 275 celcius or something like that.
Have a wonderful day and what fun!!!
Diana
THE CONTEST HAS BEEN WON BY DIANA EVANS!
Holy smokes Diana, you did it! Congratulations! I'll contact you via email to arrange mailing the original sketch. Thanks for giving it a shot.
oh man!!! how cool is that....I knew that loving Physics would pay off sooner or later....how wonderful!!!!
I am off to check my e-mail!!!
Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice work. This definitely gets the points across.
I really like your Blog post about the poetry reading too.
Love your interpretation! ps my fave ur Miles Davis illustration!!
Absolutely Brilliant! Good character layout.
Great little caracature mate! A very elegant solution to this weeks challenge!
That's such a cute drawing! haha... I like seeing everything that was put into the process.
Excellent work and creation around this prompt. You captured Einstein so well.
Wonderful characters and art on your site. This entry for Illustration Friday is awesome. I enjoy seeing the original sketch and finished drawing. Thank you for sharing.
Love your characters!!! This could be my all-time favorite Einstein!
Fantastic!
I love your idea! It is very creative!! fun Character!
