This one has been a while in the making, and it’s not the last video I’ll have for this drawing. More videos coming on a regular basis. This is video number 7 recorded on June 7th and 20th, 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 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 – And if you want a print even though the kickstarter’s over, you can pre-order right on my website or blog through the Amazon button.

TIME SPENT:
I started this drawing in November 2012 and I’m over half finished as of this video. For this video alone (number SEVEN), I captured 5,422 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 in your emails.

SONG – Indigo Grove by JeffJag
The sounds were created in the Moog Animoog and Korg iELECTRIBE apps on iOS, then mixed together in a multi-track audio editor. All composing, recording, sequencing, and mixing was done by myself and you can listen to all the soundtracks I’ve made for my videos on SoundCloud here: http://soundcloud.com/jeffjag/

TIME-LAPSE vs. 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.

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.

This is only a How to documentary of what I did. you work on yours totally AT YOUR OWN RISK. Springs are under EXTREME pressure (thousands of pounds), I had to be VERY careful. 1993-2002 same.CAUTION -you can easily lose your fingers, vision, life, etc.. I did not outline all safety procautions here, I did consult all users manuals, because the compressed spring is like a loaded gun. The tool bends and bows under pressure and may instantly slide all to one side, slip off spring, shatter, etc… and take out whatever is in the way. Mine spring tool did slid around once during the procedure and I was careful not to put my fingers anywhere near the compressor — and luckily it popped out away from me. I wore protective gloves, glasses, face shield, proper heavy clothing, fire extinguisher, nothing flammable nearby, etc.. . I’m not responsible for any actions you take or fail to take – this is only a documentary of how I overcame problems changing upper strut mounts on a 4th gen F-body GM car. Your car and results are 100% your own responsibility. there is ONE more all rubber cushion donut that goes between the upper ARM and body to replace too. The spring arms compressor double fingers also were moved to the strut mount top on re-install to further compress the spring in order to get the nut started. I had to keep grease on the tool thread to ensure it turned smoothly. I only use USA made, high quality spring tools. I cleaned up the strut threads with a stiff wire brush and used deep creep penetrating oil on the shaft bolt to remove nut. I had to watch that both ends of the spring were lined up properly in the rubber grooves. I could have also replaced the lower rubber spring seat for even more comfort. The benefit was TREMENDOUS !! The bird drives like a NEW CAR now but it has 170K on the odometer. previous owner 6 years ago had replaced wheel bearings, springs, and strut cartridges, but neglected the strut mount. The old mount “looked okay and intact” but would clank, pop, clunk around when turning, car fished around a little on the road and didn’t feel consistently road centered, ALL a-arm bushings, ball joints, and sway bar links were replaced with MOOG at 150K, but it didn’t completely fix the handling. New strut mounts made it like new now. because the parts references said 93-02 it seems the process is similar for 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002, so I will repeat the same for my 2002 TA. I got my mounts for $18 each on amazon – and $5 ea for the insulator top rubber/steel washer. I will probably get Moog or equivalent for the TA, because these appear okay , but the threaded rear holes BOTH stripped and then the metal grommet broke loose and spun, making it very difficult to remove the stripped bolt on reinstall, I had to get smaller bolts and thread through and put a bolt and nut on end. I was wondering why they sent extra bolts and nuts with the unit…
