Urban sketch, pen and wash animation style

Painterly · 16:9 / 9:16

A sketchbook page drawn on location: a boiling sepia fineliner, transparent watercolour a few pixels off the line, colour that arrives through the page with a wet front, handwriting in the margin.

Briefs we tested this kit with

  1. A day in a market (30 s). The page is blank except the date. The pen draws the stalls left to right; colour arrives only when the first customer lights the lamp over the fruit stall; a bell, steam from a coffee urn, pigeons. End: pull back to the page, the title written in the margin.
  2. A harbour in four times of day (40 s). One page, the ink never changes; morning wash, noon wash, dusk wash, night with one lit window. A boat crosses the page; the wash changes behind it as the camera follows on a lag.
  3. A recipe drawn from life (35 s). Each ingredient is sketched at the market in ink, then one splash of colour; the finished dish is painted last, steam drawn as three curls. Handwritten quantities in the margin (≥ 32 px).
