Timelapse drawing!

So I did a timelapse video of me drawing a sketch. I wanted to see how this idea panned out so this is me testing the model. It's not perfect. I learned some things from it, so that's good. But it is what it is and it isn perfect.

Anyway, here's the drawing:

Promise Her You'll Rise This Day Next Year.

and here's the video; sorry there's no sound. Blast your favorite tune of choice.

Thanks for looking. Any comments, criticisms, adoration, hate mail...

I always wanted to do a timelapse video of a painting....no camera though. This is really cool though. I really like the color and was really surprised at how you applied it....it looks so messy and haphazard but you put it down very carefully. Its a great effect. you take for granted how easily something like that is done in photoshop.

Good to see you back.

Don't fool yourself; it was very haphazardly done. I had a sketch of the rough shapes in the wallpaper pattern, pre mixed the colors off camera,and then just went.

I went dark on the outer edges, when I'd have prefered the dark on the inside near her. The color almost entirely ate the sketch so I just threw down that 'yellow' in a rough approximation of the shapes I could see, following my ref for the pattern... I did this on a new sketch paper I picked up. It's a 'felt' paper. Just printer paper, but a 70 pound paper with a tooth similar to a watercolor paper. It was a learning experience. But there was almost no calculation.

Wow, I thought that was a big painting, and it truns out to be a realy small and intimate work of art. Very nice!

Thanks. Yeah it's just a little guy. Maybe it's the canvas esque tooth to the paper thta gives that impression?
