If you have fifteen minutes, take a look at this video of twelve sketchbooks I used for life drawing between 2006 and 2007. Don’t worry, it’s been sped up about doublespeed, so you won’t need to dwell on a drawing you don’t like the look of for very long.

I was going to throw the books away to save space, and decided to video them so I had a record of the drawings. Each book took about 5 minutes of video and after about five were done, I’d changed my mind and wanted to keep the books. Now, I have all the books and a humungous digital file on my computer, taking up even more space.

The drawings are made in ink, charcoal, oil pencil, watercolour and graphite. The audio is a recording taken at the southern end of Killcare Beach on the Bouddi Peninsula on the central coast of New South Wales.

Please note: The life models are male and female and are nude.
