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 4 recorded in late April 2013.

MATERIALS:
The drawing is called Amazing Realization, and it is an enormous pencil drawing on a 22″ x 30″ sheet of fine heavy drawing paper. I am using mechanical pencils from 0.3mm to 0.5mm, but the vast majority of it is done with 0.3mm drafting pencils. I use a variety of leads from 2H to HB to 2B graphite. I occasionally use paper stumps to blend the pencil, but again, the vast majority of it is hand shaded using a very careful amount of hand pressure, which you can see pretty well in this video.

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 already over half way through as of this video, but it’s it’s still unfinished as a whole. The time-lapse for this specific progress video was compiled from two drawing sessions of about 3-4 hours each for a total of around 7 hours of drawing time. Rest assured, I’ll have a rough estimate by the time I post the final time-lapse project video.

SONG – DUNGEON FAIRIES by JeffJag:
I posted a weird song on video ONE of this series and I heard the comment replies loud and clear. You unanimously told me that you’d rather mute it than listen to my experimental voice tracks… which were admittedly not very good. With that in mind, I took a different path to create the music for this video and I hope the results are better. The sounds were created in the Moog Animoog and Korg iELECTRIBE apps on iOS, then mixed together in a multi-track audio editor. Some of the sounds were used directly, some had effects like distortion and flange applied, and some of them are double-tracked for a fuller sound. I also recorded some ambient people noises from Denver International Airport for the background. Because I like that sort of thing. All recording, sequencing, and mixing was done by myself and you can listen to the track by itself on SoundCloud here: https://soundcloud.com/jeffjag/dungeon-fairies

TIME-LAPSE VS. STOP MOTION
Stop motion is used exclusively in this video. The first two videos in the series were shot at a frame every 6-8 seconds. Later on, I decided to get out my camera trigger and you can see me holding the shutter release in my left hand, as I draw with my right hand. 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.

An easy beginner video on Creating a two part mold by Jon Neill http://www.jonneill.com – from creating a clay lay up to making both mold sections and a resin casting.

The video shows how to fix common situations such as silicone bleeding when they occur. Materials used are sold on http://www.hobbysilicone.com which are used by hollywood fx professionals.

The materials used for this project are:

a 2 lb kit of 2125 Moldmaster Silicone and catalyst

**the amount you buy will depend on the size of your sculpture, please have the dimensions of your sculpture ready to give to the people at Hobby Silicone. -White Clay, water based clay ( art supply store or Aardvark Clay)
-Wood Board, at least 1/2” thick, larger than the size of your sculpt. (Home Depot)
- Sharpie Marker
- small cup
- tongue depressors ( wide popsicle sticks)
-Flat paint brush, cheap craft brush (art supply store)
-Latex Gloves (Home depot or Costco)
-1/2” Chip brushes (Home Depot)
-Foam Core or piece of cardboard (Art supply store)
-X-acto Knife (Art Supply Store)

-small plastic buckets (Home Depot)
-paint stir sticks

If you plan on making molds in the future, consider investing in a good gram scale, one that can weigh over 4000 grams and in 1 gram increments.
