The final tutorial of the week consisted of drawing moving images. A projector was put up to display looping clips of video, most of which seemed to be library footage of particular things, from CCTV footage to documentary like shots.
The room was mostly dark for the duration of the exercise, but luckily I chose a spot close to the windows, which gave me a gleam of light on my easel. We were given the video clips on screen and then some 10-20 minutes to draw it out with all manners of materials, such as wax, pastels, crayons, paints, inks, pencil and felt tips.

Overall, it was a pleasant, if tiring, experience of trying to draw things in motion as well as experimenting with more varied materials. I'm fairly used to drawing things that move thanks to my small sketches of people who sit at the table in front of me (I shall be uploading samples of these from my past sketch books in future), but I have to say that the short clips were really challenging as some movements were very quick and hard to take down before it looped again. Practice makes perfect and interesting results appear when you try to represent a motion, but end up with something else!
