I have long fingernails because I play classical guitar (nylon strings) and therefore need them to play!

After a basic, lightly drawn compositional sketch in pencil, this drawing was then made completely with the use of red and black ballpoint pens over 2 days.

Is this actually stop motion? Or just a time lapse? Some parts of it look too blurry, which make it look like video, stop motion is usually a lot crisper between frames... Just wondering.

[PaulAlexThornton]

@cosmiacian Technically it's timelapse... by which I mean it's all made from still photos which I think is what you were asking. None of it is real-time video, or sped up video footage.

[shellhedds]

can you please tell me what song this is and who plays it.  the music is beautiful.

[PaulAlexThornton]

@shellhedds The music is by me (Paul Alexander Thornton) and co-arranged by Cameron Keym. It's called Rosa Damascena. Thanks :)

[startingoutbackwards]

I don't get it?

[PaulAlexThornton]

@startingoutbackwards It's a photo taken every few seconds, of a drawing of a sugar skull being made with pens. Sped up and edited into a film with music.
