Proceso de ilustración de Raahat Kaduji con Wacom One

4 de marzo de 2020

"Pasé gran parte de mi infancia entre árboles, lápices y papel", dice el ilustrador británico-indio, activista por los derechos de los animales y autodenominado "caminante del bosque" Raahat Kaduji.

"Siempre he tenido afinidad con la naturaleza, pero si no estaba fuera en el bosque con amigos, construyendo guaridas y trepando a los árboles, estaba dentro convirtiendo mis ensoñaciones en collages y dibujos a lápiz".

Sigue viviendo en la casa de su infancia, a las afueras de Oxford, donde "mi viaje creativo está profundamente arraigado en mis comienzos": su padre era artista de videojuegos y VFX, y "crecí con sus cuadros en las paredes de mi habitación, sus cuadernos de bocetos en mi estantería y un tesoro de sus viejos materiales de pintura".

Lleva su historia en la manga, pintando principalmente naturaleza, intrusiones humanas solitarias en la naturaleza -unacabaña, un puente de piedra o, en el siguiente vídeo, un faro- o animales antropomórficos; y los colores oscuros y la niebla de los bosques ingleses aparecen a menudo en su obra. Los tonos tierra dominan sus paletas; sus ambientes suelen ser nublados o poco cromáticos.

Su estilo plano evoca tanto los libros de cuentos como el collage, pero hay un fuerte sentido del diseño gráfico en sus composiciones basadas en la forma. El efecto general es una sensación de paz y distanciamiento, como un mundo lejano con el que puedes soñar, pero en el que nunca llegas a entrar.

(También hace bocetos estilizados de animales , muy parecidos a los de Alexis Dean-Jones).

 

Es relativamente nueva en el arte digital, ya que adquirió su primera pen tablet, una Wacom Intuos Draw, en el verano de 2018. "No buscaba un aparato con funciones extravagantes o especificaciones increíbles, sólo algo que fuera fiable y me permitiera desarrollar mis habilidades", dice, y fue el único aparato que utilizó hasta que recibió su One. "A lo largo de los años, aunque he tenido la oportunidad de actualizar mi tableta de dibujo, nunca he sentido la necesidad ni el deseo de hacerlo. Esto demuestra que no necesitas un equipo caro para crear, sobre todo si estás empezando. Ve con lo que te puedas permitir, practica, diviértete y el resto vendrá solo".

Sin embargo, el One es su primer monitor de dibujo, y en su nuevo vídeo para el canal de Youtube de Wacom (a través de Instagram), nos cuenta sus impresiones sobre él mientras pinta su obra más reciente.

"Me he divertido mucho jugando con él y acostumbrándome a él", dice.
