I was struggling trying to record my drawing and painting process today having set up camera and various structures to try keep it steady and in focus while I worked. It’s not easy! I need to improve the lighting for sure, but I did finally get the technique working.
It takes a while to edit a drawing video like that into a short snippet that shows the progress without having the viewer sitting through the rather longwinded boring parts of me drawing small repetitive details.
I will definitely try this out again, when I figure out how to fix the lighting. It would be nice with a more sturdy supporting frame to hold the camera too. Perhaps some day it will be technically possible to show the result here on the blog 🙂
Instead of the video, here are two of the birds I ended up with, that I really like.
Earlier today I started another project that might be fun: Patterns. This will be fast work, but hopefully something that is easy to start out with as a warm up for other drawings. Today my hand decided to do a brick wall in watercolor and a bit of gold gel pen.
