This one has been a while in the making, and it’s not the last video I’ll have for this drawing. This is animation progress 14, recorded on September 10th and 12th, 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 and erasers 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).

TIME SPENT:
I started this drawing in November 2012 and I’m in the last stretch of drawing in of this video. At the time this video was posted, frames have been captured up through video 15, and half of 16. So there’s a lot left, but it’s getting close. For this video alone (number FOURTEEN), I captured 4,610 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.

SOUNDTRACK – “Biplane Donkey Boots” by JeffJag
The sounds were created in the Moog Animoog app on iOS and mixed together in the built-in Animoog 4-track audio editor. All composing, recording, sequencing, and mixing was done by myself specifically for this stop motion time-lapse video. It is only available in this video since that is it’s exclusive purpose and why I created it.

TIME-LAPSE and 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 which is super awesome.

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.

How to Dump Your Black and Grey Holding Tanks

• To avoid accidentally opening a valve before you’ve inserted the hose into the sewer, ALWAYS insert your sewer hose into the dump station’s hole first. Make certain that the sewer hose elbow is tightly secured in the dump station hole. Then twist the sewer hose connection to the RV’s sewer connection. Once you’re sure that everything is connected and secured properly, you’re ready to perform the tank dumping process.

• When emptying both the black and grey tanks, dump the black water tank first before the grey water tank so the soapy water from the grey tank can clean the residue from the hose. While listening and ‘feeling’ the hose, you’ll hear/feel the liquid draining. Once it stops draining, close the valve.

• After your black and grey tanks are empty, perform the black tank rinse, filling the tank to two-thirds full and repeat the emptying process.

• Check to make sure that both your black and grey water tank valves are closed.

• Make sure that the RV tank outlet cover is securely twisted back on.

• Disconnect the sewer hose at the RV, and run water through the sewer hose to rinse it out. Remove the sewer hose from the dump station hole and rinse the outside of the hose. Rinse the area around the hole to ensure that any spillage has been cleaned up and cover the dump station hole.

• Don’t dump the black water tank until it is at least two-thirds full. If the tank is not two-thirds full add some water to the black tank prior to disconnecting from the campsite water hookup.

• NEVER fill your fresh water tank from a non-potable water source. Fill your fresh water tank at home, or at the campsite prior to disconnecting from your water source.

• Don’t leave the black water tank valve open while hooked up at a campsite sewer. This will cause liquids to drain, but leaves the solid waste behind to harden on the bottom of the tank.

• Use a good quality sewer hose. Don’t go for the cheaper hoses, as they will not hold up, and the last thing you want is to have the hose start leaking when you’re dumping the black tank. We actually carry 3 10’ Rhino brand sewer hoses. These collapse to roughly 32”, and all 3 fit nicely into our rear trailer bumper. We’ve only had to use 3 hoses once, so only having 2 hoses would normally be enough.

• Inspect your sewer hose after each dump. If the hose is starting to look worn, replace it.

• Carry an extra garden hose for tank rinsing in case the dump station doesn’t have one, or the dump station hose connection is ‘buggered up’. We use a solid green hose, which is a totally different color that our fresh water hoses. If the sign states non-potable water, always use the green hose. We use a white/blue and a solid blue hose for our fresh water.

• Store the non-potable water hose separately in an area where it won’t come into contact with your fresh water hose. We store the fresh water hoses in a plastic container, while we store the non-potable hose in another.

• NEVER use your fresh water hose for rinsing sewer hoses or the dump station area. NEVER!

• Wear protective rubber gloves and avoid touching the outside of the gloves.

• Even if other RVers are waiting to use the dump station, take your time, and empty and flush your tanks. Remember, those waiting in line have to perform the same tasks, so they’ll understand what you’re doing. And this whole process should only take you 10 – 15 minutes.

• Before you begin to add your chemicals and water to the holding tanks, always pull far enough up and out-of-the-way from the dump station, which allows the next RVer in line to start their dumping process.

• Never put anything other than the contents of your holding tanks into the sewer. Deposit your trash in the appropriate trash can at the dump station area.

• NEVER leave the dump station area cluttered with your trash or effluent. Always leave the dump station area cleaner than you found it. On our 30 day park hopping trip, we had to spend an extra 20 minutes cleaning up after someone’s effluent on the pavement. It’s a nasty cleaning chore to say the least, so PLEASE clean up after yourself.
