A Time Lapse Video of a Pencil Sketch

This is a video of sketch I draw, it takes 4 minutes with a 6 seconds time lapse within frames:

I always have been fascinated with time lapse videos, this is my first.

Two different self portraits based on the same image, different pencil and different mood :-)

Ballpoint Drawing

This is a ball point drawing of the Chilean poet Raúl Zurita, based on  photo of a magazine.

 

The drawing was done with the Sheaffer pen on the photo, hope it has archive quality, if not it will fade out with light.

Browsing old archives I found some watercolors I had painted a couple of years ago ...  

Self portrait with two colors.

War Child Number 3

I finished the third artwork of my series War Children. I was planning to make an oil painting, but after I published the sketch on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/jdpaint, my friends convinced me that it should be left as a drawing (really a mix between drawing and etching).

It depicts a boy from Uganda on a backround of European and American newspapers and prints on the concerns parants should have about their children in the western world.

The Colombian girl is progressing, but not as fast as I would like since my time is being consummed by a commissioning painting in pastel.

The award I won was for the first two works of a series I planned on children involved in war. The past weekend I was continuing working on this series, now trying to use pastel on a girl from the Colombian FARC.

I was not happy with the results, but I was a little tired to continue struggling with the pastels so I took a break and made an Indian ink drawing with quill. It was years since my last drawing with Indian Ink! I still like it very much, however I should be very careful to control my hand and the flow of ink.

The model was a WWII reenactor whose photo I found in the Internet.

 

I have got two awards at the  Chilean Fine Arts Society at their Autumn Salon: First place on Mixed Technique and Second Place on Drawing (I got also an additional medal for the first place from the Chilean Japanese Institute Too!)Tonight I am going to the ceremony!
