Here’s an interesting piece I was working on. It was more of a “speedpaint” than a timelapse, as I didn’t intend to put much time into the actual work. I had a specific idea in mind and specific style I wanted to try out, and I had sketched out a quick thought before I brought it in to photoshop. I thought to myself — I haven’t recorded myself drawing in a while, why don’t I do that? So I created a timelapse to share on social media.

This is a 20 times timelapse, meaning the original artwork took roughly two hours to complete.

The difference between timelapse and speedpaint
A timelapse and a speedpaint can be one in the same (this is a timelapsed video of a speedpaint). A speedpaint is essentially when an artist creates a work very quickly, or within a set parameter of time. I did not time myself for this work, nor did I limit the amount of time spent on it. I just figured it was more basic than some of my more elaborate digital works, so it wouldn’t take much time for me to complete.
