This one has been a while in the making, and it’s not the last video I’ll have for this drawing. This is animation progress 13, recorded on September 6th and 7th, 2013.

MATERIALS:
The drawing is called Amazing Realization, and it is an enormous pencil drawing on a 22″ x 30″ sheet of fine heavy bristol drawing paper. In the drawing, I use many 0.3mm mechanical pencils. I use mostly to HB and 2B graphite leads. I occasionally use paper shaders and erasers to blend the pencil, but again, the vast majority of it is hand shaded using a very careful amount of hand pressure.

TECHNIQUES:
Whenever I’m holding the pencil much further back from the tip, I’m allowing the pencil’s own weight to press down on the paper which makes for very soft shading. I am also not a robot drawing robot, so I use erasers. I use the white plastic erasers that work so well with drafting pencils, and the rubber gray kneadable erasers you can form into shapes. I like those for lightening areas which have been filled in too dark, and to keep my pencils from rolling off my drawing desk when I’m not using them. I use a horse hair eraser brush to remove eraser shavings from the drawing without smudging my work. I sometimes use a latex glove on my left hand to keep the oil of my hand from getting on the paper, and for a similar reason, I put a sheet of paper under my drawing hand to keep from smudging parts I’ve already drawn while shading.

THE STORY:
Last year I started a Kickstarter to make prints of my new drawing, Amazing Realization, for people who wanted them. This is quite an epic project which began in mid November 2012 and continues months into 2013. On January 1st 2013 the Kickstarter was successfully funded at over 200% of my goal. Now I’m just working away at finishing the drawing and doing what I can to show the making-of process along the way. The backers get email updates with new photos showing the progress of the drawing the night I work on it, and I release the photo updates of the drawing daily on my Art blog, http://artblog.jeffjag.com, my facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/jeffjag.art and my twitter feed @jeffjag (all three feature the same daily content). Check out the kickstarter page and watch the video of me announcing the project on that page. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/112182510/super-detailed-abstract-pencil-art-amazing-realiza

TIME SPENT:
I started this drawing in November 2012 and I’m in the last stretch of drawing in of this video. At the time this video was posted, frames have been captured up through video 15, and half of 16. So there’s a lot left, but it’s getting close. For this video alone (number THIRTEEN), I captured 5,525 frames. Each of these frames was taken between 1 and 10 seconds apart. It varies due to the nature of stop motion and the complexities of drawing with one hand and capturing frames with the other hand. I’ll have a rough estimate by the time I post the final time-lapse project video. Subscribe to my channel and you’ll get it delivered right to you from the friendly YouTube folks.

SOUNDTRACK – Jokes About Puppets by JeffJag
The sounds were created in the Moog Animoog app on iOS and mixed together in the built-in Animoog 4-track audio editor. All composing, recording, sequencing, and mixing was done by myself specifically for this stop motion time-lapse video. It is only available in this video since that is it’s exclusive purpose and why I created it.

TIME-LAPSE and STOP MOTION
Stop motion and Time-Lapse are used at different intervals during this video. The first two videos in the series were shot at a frame every 5-8 seconds. Later on, I decided to get out my remote shutter release and you can see me holding the button in my left hand as I draw with my right hand. Starting with video 10, I use a wireless shutter release which is super awesome.

WHAT’S WITH THE LATEX GLOVE?
I use a latex glove on my left hand while I draw to keep the oil of my hand from getting on the paper. I place a white sheet of paper under my right hand so I can shade without smudging what I’ve already done. Because I have to move my right hand while drawing, this keeps my hand free to move over areas I may have already drawn without smearing the work.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I have been wanting to make this video for a while. There’s any number of cleaners that you can use, but the real key is the green scrubber pad. These types of cleaners, you never want to use this on a fiberglass tub or on porcelain because this has little bits of metal in it, and it actually kind of sands stuff. So you don’t want to use this on anything that it would scratch, leave a bunch of scratches on. You can use just regular dish soap or any other cleaner. You do want to follow it up when you’re finished with some type of stainless steel polish. There’s any number of brands out there, a satin finish or whatever. That’ll make a big difference.

Anyway, one of the most common cleaners, I guess, starts with a four and ends with a nine. You spray it on like this.

[SPRAYING]

So I’m just going to spray it down real good and let it sit for a second. And I’m going to go ahead and put some gloves on. And we can see it’s pretty knarly stained there. Let’s see how this works out. Got my gloves on. Now to use it, it’s just like sandpaper and sand it. And this is called regraining.

Up here a little bit, You can see all these calcium deposits around the air jet of the disposer, dishwasher drain line. So we’re going to just sand all of these off, too.

It doesn’t take a whole lot of pressure, on the sponge just moderate pressure. I’m not going to do this yet because I want to show you the difference between when you do it. So I haven’t sanded the drain yet. So sand around by the faucet– all those gnarly areas. Let’s take a peek down there. See all that in there.

And once you get up all the areas sanded– yeah, I didn’t sand in the drain yet– I just wanted to show you the difference. Maybe at the end of this video I can show a complete before and after photo because I forgot to take a photo of it before, but I guess I can grab a still frame from the video. And it might take you a couple of runs, but it’s worth it if it makes you– it’s beginning to look like new.

I didn’t do the drain yet. I can show you get a good shot of the drain here. And now I’ll go ahead and do it. Now you can see around the ridges, on the inside, all that brown gunk. So you can go ahead and spray it with your chemical, and then take your green scrubber sponge and use moderate pressure. It doesn’t have to be super, super hard, but just hard enough. And just sand it all the way around it.

[SCRUBBING]

There. And now I will go ahead and rinse it out. And you can probably see an improvement already. And rinse the rest of the sink.

There’s a bit of a buildup here and rinse that off. Here now we can use our sponge to clean it all off and move it all down. And it’s in here that we find and can get rid of.

We’ve just removed all the calcium buildup. I can see a lot underneath the faucet, also. And this will work for that also. It may be easier to get in there and come back later with a toothbrush or with a wire brush, but I’m going to do it a little bit, do what I can. Make that at least a little bit better.

It makes it a little more manageable. It’s probably not going to be perfect, but anyway. At least it won’t look quite as bad. You’ve got to pick your battles sometimes, do what you can do. And maybe little by little descale it out, spend some more time, make that better.

I’m going to go grab my rag, but you can already see the whole thing is looking quite a bit better. Still has that white residue here. Got that calcium deposit. I had professional cleaners come in and clean this already. And that’s how dirty it was after they cleaned it. Not everybody knows this trick. Now that you’re watching this video, you’ll know this trick which is pretty simple. It’s hard to even call it a trick, but hey, it is what it is. You can show a difference between start and finish. Yeah, it is what it is.

And it really is about the details.
