I had just got off the phone from talking to Artist’s Palette (when they called and asked me to submit an insight and demo), the screaming, jumping up and down, the phone calls to tell friends and family and posts on social media has stopped… I’m now left with the not so easy task of explaining how exactly I go about doing one of my drawings…
So in this day and age of new technology I decided to follow the masses of trying to explain step by step how I create my work and take photos along the way, but also to embrace new technology that’s at our fingertips and create a time-lapse video of this drawing of a Cavalier as it comes to life.
THE TIME LAPSE VIDEO
For those of you who are interested in creating a time-lapse video of their own artwork, this can be easily created by downloading the “Motion Pics” app on your iPad, iPhone or iPod. You’ll be able to find an equivalent app if you use Android. It’s really easy and straightforward to use so I’m not going to get into explanations here. If you are techno-illiterate or simply a technophobe, have no fear! Tech support is as far away as your six-year-old grandchild, child or in my case, niece and nephew.
The time-lapse video of my demo is available online at the following web address http://youtu.be/Kev8Y27IHEo
Enjoy!
Now let’s get back to old school…
