This week I spent my time working on multiple drawings, one painting and putting together time-lapse videos of my work in progress. Here are some pictures and some videos.

Grapefruit drawing - I blocked in the large areas with my new prismacolor markers and then started going over some areas in color pencil.

I started recording videos of the process for my drawings. I'm still trying to figure out the best set up and lighting but its a start. Watch the clip on my Facebook page.
I made the first grapefruit drawing video using iMovie but the music is limited to a few songs and when I would import multiple video clips it would place them out of order, which got kind of annoying since I had a lot of clips. Tommy recommeded I download a free video editing app called Splice. Its easy to use and has a much bigger selection of music, you can even use songs from your library.

Here is a color pencil drawing of the cupcake. I tried blocking in with marker but realized the colors I have on my set are way too dark, so I was only able to color in the yellow cupcake sleeve. It did help speed up that part. You can watch the time lapse video below.

When I started feeling un-inspired with the cupcake drawing I moved on to this avocado painting. It was nice being able to cover such big areas in a short amount of time. I also like how I can blend easily since the oil paint takes a long time to dry.

I should probably map out a few more line drawings so I can start working immediately when I feel stuck or uninspired to work on a particular piece. I want to make my studio time enjoyable so I'd rather not force myself to work on one particular piece at a time.
