fast motion drawing!

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

So a few days ago a friend linked me to a youtube video of someone who had recorded themselves drawing and then sped it up into fast motion. I thought it looked really neat and decided to try it out so I rigged up my camera in a pen holder on a stack of post-its and doodled for twenty minutes. I posted this under a lock on my other journal but figured it kind of applied here too (as it is a moopverse doodle).

Apologies to everyone who gets this twice on their flist! Apologies to anyone who actually thought I knew how to draw! Apologies to anyone who wants my JULIE! JULIE! coffee mug because that shit is miiiiiine. ♥

every time i hear alphabeat it makes me insanely happy. i had to like, restrict myself from getting up and dancing when i heard the song play.

this was so interesting to watch :D your skills are amazing.

is it bad that i really do want your mug? D: my friend got me a mug that says archie for christmas but it's not as good because it has no david bowie reference (i'm assuming that's a david bowie reference? but i'm probably wrong). i'll stop before i start rambling (: (or rambling more evem, sorry!)

IT IS MAYBE MY FAVORITE SONG EVER. I always feel like I should sing into a hairbrush. And maybe I do! Who's gonna stop me! *prances!*

I actually found it in a thrift shop but I certainly like to pretend that it is a David Bowie reference. :)

So eternelle linked me to the video yesterday and I spent the entire time squealing and making clutchy-hands. Ugh, your work is so awesome.

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

That is so nice! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

That is SO COOL! Seeing it go from blank page to finished drawing was really amazing, especially since I can't draw and am always in awe of people who can take a blank page and do that. Wow.

And the picture's pretty neat too! :)

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

Thanks for watching!

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

Thank you for checking it out!

[nomoreuturns.livejournal.com]

That was amazing...I'm in awe. I always wanted to be able to draw things that I see in my mind's eye (sadly, I can only draw using pictures as references). But that was truly incredible...you have some serious skills! <3

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[longsunday.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's so awesome! It was good to like, cross-reference with the finished one as you went along as well. :D

Absolutely incredible!!!

Did you take art classes? I love your shading. It's beautiful. <3

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

I took a few drawing classes in high school and college but I mostly try and learn from just doodling a lot. I mess up a lot! :D

[mandy-croyance.livejournal.com]

That was positively brilliant! I'm completely jealous of your mad skills, lol.

[theopteryx.livejournal.com]
