Welcome to #05 of my Drawing Experiments Series
Each short clip contains a quick doodle drawn with the simple rules:
• Unplanned (no forethought)
• Spontaneous/random (wherever the pencil tip leeds me)
• Continuous (no stopping to think or to erase)
An initial 1-second duration doodle is captured in super slow-motion. I do this with a single deep breathe so my hand is relaxed. The image comes into view as my hand oscillates to-and-fro. This is immediately followed by a time-lapse segment with textures developed very quickly without clear judgement or purpose.
My brain had no time to consciously "steer" the pencil other than to do a series of tightly-control loops or zig-zags in a quick burst of movement.
Upon seeing the resulting doodle, I set the cam to time-lapse mode for the second segment. Adding some random details/textures was done within 15 seconds but compressed by the time-lapse into about 3 seconds
I'm not sure where I'm going with this... but I find it interesting what the brain comes up with within the briefest of time periods. Like the way you can have a really intense dream within just minutes, right before you wake up.
