Main sketch timelapse

Some red lead & pencil sketches of my geometric/graphical cat character, plus thumbnails and older sketches. Last Tuesday, I did this as a way to keep myself awake while trying to readjust my sleeping pattern.🥱

 

Now, for my notes (both transcriptions of my stream of consciousness, tired writing and edits)


BEHIND-THE-SCENES: TROUBLE W/ TIMELAPSES FOR TRADITIONAL MEDIA

7/25/2023 6:11-6:36am {sketch 1}

Sketching took far longer than it had to.😥


Difficult to freely sketch while recording w/ my phone in the other hand, since I’d need to draw broad strokes, usually…which I can’t easily capture in a recording, at least in portrait orientation. Maybe even at all, since I’d always be trying to look over the phone either way. (Might be worse in landscape.)

- 6:42am


6:42-7:18am From thumbnail I prepared on 7/23/23 @ 6:46pm (to 6:49pm) [also attached]


MINI JOURNAL

Originally, I was going to do a timelapse recording w/ my phone, but as noted above, it hindered my free-flowing, broad strokes sketching. Maybe I’ll try to look into a good stand, or maybe even see if we have one around the house that I could use.


SELF-CRITIQUE

7:18-7:44am [far right sketch]

+ Love how much looser this sketch turned out!

- Arm pose too ambiguous

* [3 alternative arm sketches: 2 below the negative note and 1 upper-body one below the entire sketch]

* Also, 1 alternative, horizontally-squished eyebrow & eye sketch next to the latter sketch


ART SUPPLIES

Notes: Monteverde Soft Roll Ballpoint Pen [refill]

Sketch: Uni Mitsubishi [Lead Holder Refill] (2 mm - Red)

Final Pencil Lines: Tombow <Homo-Graph> MONO [4B]

  • *4B was so smooth to draw with! & surprisingly easy to erase, if you went light with it.
