The Great Wave Pixel Painting

When we discuss the concept of "waves," it extends beyond the joy of beach outings or splashing in swimming pools. I believe it is fitting to pay tribute to the iconic Japanese painting "The Great Wave," created in the 17th century, which captures a profound respect for the ocean.

Now, shifting our focus to the project at hand, it is indeed possible to recreate such a masterpiece using only a 2mm-sided cube. However, this endeavor demands considerable patience and dedication. If you are a meticulous creator eager to replicate renowned artworks, this project is tailored for you. If patience is not your strong suit, I invite you to explore some of my other projects, which I trust will gain recognition in due course.

Without further ado, let us delve into the intricacies and wonders of this artistic endeavor!

1. Computer
2. Mouse
3. Good Internet

Finding the subject isn't relatively easy, as there are just tons of samples that can be found online. For this project, I had used two photo references: one to recreate the waves, one to modify the background of the first picture. This is because I did not really like the reddish-pink background very much, so I decided to use another Great Wave's background to create the photo that I wanted.

Next, we need to recreate the subject. This step only needs 3 things: a 2mmX2mmX2mm cube, a colour dropper from any website you are familiar with, and the most important thing - patience.

1. Get a 2mmX2mmX2mm box in Tinkercad.
2. Open up your reference photo. Start by colouring the corners and slowly make your way towards the final product.
3. Group your cubes together and you are done!

In case your project lags and disappears, here is what you need to do:

1. Select a certain amount of cube area (e.g: 20X3, 10X6, 15X4 and etc. Make sure the area is not too big.). Then, group them together.
2. Head to the shape tab and click "Basic Shapes". Then, select "Your Creations".
3. Click on "Create Shape". Name your shape and save. (You can lock the scale if necessary.)

This is to prevent progression loss or the entire workplane lagging out. You wouldn't want your nearly-finished project to disappear in front of your eyes, would you? :)

If you wish to add a frame, just trace your project by add black boxes (2mmX2mmX2mm) to add aesthetic to your project. After that, you are done!
