Current captures: Time | Sketch Away: Travels with my sketchbook


There’s this query with capturing time that’ comes’s been arising so much for me lately: to freeze or not freeze it?

There’s a sure drama to choosing one occasion in a sequence of actions and freezing it to face in for all of it. I sketched with my good friend Paul on-line lately and he despatched me a photograph with a lot drama in it. A single picture labored properly, on this occasion.

After which there are these conditions wherein nothing very dramatic occurs, and never a lot appears to vary…till you strive sketching and understand how a lot is altering. That is my cat, napping, and these are only some of the poses he hit in a nap that lasted quarter-hour.

I sketched this household Scrabble recreation over Thanksgiving weekend. I hadn’t realized how a lot of the sport is spent ready for folks to make phrases you possibly can construct on, till I sketched. In some unspecified time in the future, the cat joined us.

If I’m capturing a course of that unfolds over time, I’ll generally draw the identical folks greater than as soon as in my sketch, doing various things, just like the cafe proprietor right here, together with his again to us.
