Processo de ilustração do Wacom One de Raahat Kaduji

4 de março de 2020

“Passei grande parte da minha infância entre árvores, lápis e papel”, diz a ilustradora anglo-indiana, ativista dos direitos dos animais e autodenominada “caminhante da floresta” Raahat Kaduji.

“Sempre tive afinidade com a natureza, mas se eu não estava na floresta com amigos, construindo tocas e subindo em árvores, eu estava lá dentro transformando meus devaneios em colagens e desenhos a lápis.”

Ela ainda mora em sua casa de infância nos arredores de Oxford, onde “Minha jornada criativa está profundamente enraizada em meus primórdios”: seu pai era artista de videogames e efeitos visuais e “Eu cresci com suas pinturas nas paredes do meu quarto, seus cadernos de desenho na minha estante e um tesouro de seus antigos materiais de pintura”.

Ela usa sua história de fundo na manga, pintando principalmente a natureza, intrusões humanas solitárias na natureza — umacabana, uma ponte de pedra ou, no vídeo a seguir, um farol — ou animais antropomórficos; e as cores escuras e a neblina das florestas inglesas costumam aparecer em seu trabalho. Os tons de terra dominam suas paletas; seus ambientes geralmente são nublados ou com baixo teor de croma.

Seu estilo simples evoca livros de histórias e colagens, mas há um forte senso de design gráfico em suas composições baseadas em formas. O efeito geral é uma sensação de paz e indiferença, como um mundo distante com o qual você pode sonhar, mas nunca entrar completamente.

(Ela também faz esboços estilizados de animais, assim como Alexis Dean-Jones.)

 

Ela é relativamente nova na arte digital, tendo adquirido sua primeira mesa digitalizadora, uma Wacom Intuos Draw, no verão de 2018. “Eu não estava procurando um dispositivo com recursos sofisticados ou especificações incríveis, apenas algo que fosse confiável e me permitisse desenvolver minhas habilidades”, diz ela, e foi o único dispositivo que ela usou até receber o One. "Ao longo dos anos, embora eu tenha tido a oportunidade de atualizar minha mesa digitalizadora, nunca senti a necessidade ou o desejo de fazer isso. Isso só mostra que você não precisa de equipamentos caros para criar, especialmente se estiver apenas começando. Escolha o que puder pagar, pratique, divirta-se e o resto virá! ”

No entanto, The One é seu primeiro monitor de desenho e, em seu novo vídeo para o canal da Wacom no Youtube (por meio do Instagram), ela dá suas impressões sobre ele ao pintar sua peça mais recente.

“Eu me diverti muito brincando com isso e me acostumando com isso”, diz ela.
