Daybreak Progression: 50 Hours in 30 Seconds

I created as short time lapse video of the work in progress photos from "Daybreak". You can see my process for this piece was:

  1. White line drawing on black paper
  2. Foundation layers for the background
  3. Worked the skin tones from brightest to darkest areas
  4. Worked the shadows
  5. Brought up the lights and refined the fine details

Thanks for watching!

A short time lapse of my drawing "Daybreak", which was completed with Caran d'ache Luminance colored pencils on a full sheet of black Canson Mi-Teintes Touch paper. Time to complete the drawing was 50 hours. Canson Mi-Teintes Touch paper has a textured surface like sandpaper, which creates the speckled look in the drawing.
