I have been taking a Seth Godin course called The Creative’s Workshop and in it participants are encouraged to show up and ship something everyday for 100 days. Not being too sure of what I would do with that, I decided I would at least work on a drawing or sketch daily. If I did more with making something, great. If not, I worked on a drawing.

Some members in class mentioned wanting to see a short video of my drawing or painting process so I decided to learn how to make videos. They started very simple and now I have the basics down. I have a YouTube channel where I’ve put all my drawing and sketchbook videos made so far.

Today for my Day 32/100 effort, I worked some more on my glass, mirrors and reflections piece from a photo I took at Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston. Here is the video link for today’s progress.

I have now all the inking done around the central container. The area I was working in the lower right of the paper didn’t have any pencil guide lines to refer to so I was inking and winging it! The shapes are fairly abstract so accuracy isn’t necessarily so important here.

The video takes about 22 minutes of drawing and puts it into a little under 3 minutes. The music in the background is Haydn No. 3 Op 76 I Allegro.

Do you like these kinds of videos that show some progress on projects? What can you work on for 20-25 minutes to move along?
