Sketching William

I thought you might like to see how I go about sketching our lurcher lad, William.  I set up the

camera on a tripod......it still managed to go out of focus for a few seconds grrrr....but overall it

is clear - I zoomed in on me sketching and I think the result gives you the general idea of how I

sketch the lad.

Good morning, Ann! Thank you for the video. I love your technique with these little sketches of William, and how simple, yet evocative they are!

I think it's because I draw him so much, my brain and hand seem to have got themselves organised, lol ;)

Thanks so much Debra :-)

Thanks Robin, I'm glad you enjoyed this. No doubt you will be seeing this 'pose' from time to time in the future :-)

How fun that we can watch you sketch William! I love the strange chair below. It looks like if you sit on it you may not be allowed to get up. lol

Give William a kiss from me.

Really lovely to see you in action Ann. Great to see how William comes alive on paper. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Joan, glad I did this now, I wasn't sure to be honest especially when the darned camera didn't focus at first, lol.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Lynette, yes I'll give William a kiss from you :-)

Thanks for sharing this, and all your adventures with William. He my favorite dog that doesn't live at my house :-)

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Barb, isn't it strange when we hear our own voices, I sound completely different to what I thought I would, lol ;)

ann @ studiohyde said...

Glad you enjoy the William experience Elaine....I'll tell him, he will be delighted too :-)

Judy said...

Great! I really enjoyed seeing how you work!

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Judy, I have in the past avoided this sort of thing. Although on occasion I may have added the odd video, but I think now Why Not...just show people how I work. So pleased I did and I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing this.
