How to Draw Alice in Fast Motion


See here. My thanks to my friend Chris Sparks, who filmed this and thoughtfully provided a soundtrack by Beethoven that covers up my usual stream of Popeye-voiced drawing-time profanities.

Oooh!
Can I use my 3D glasses on this?

Awesome video! (When people watch me draw my hand always cramps up and everyone leaves disappointed.)

It cost about $50,000 to $100,000 to turn a 2D into 3D movie. Im sure we could... Should I start a paypal account and see if we can get the donations??????

ritual question : what pen do you use in this video (please) ?

David- of course, you should wear your 3D glasses all the time.s

Thanks, Steve! Try one of those botox shots, it worked for me.

Cheese- I can pony up $6, so there's a start!

Brou- that's a Micron 3 Graphic chisel tip markder. I like Micron's for doing rough layouts and this one showed up on camera better than regular pen and ink.

Thanks, I may try that if I can be assured that it won't make my lips bigger!
