Great time-laapse sketches there Jeff.
Take long to do each one?

Michael --
I'm still feeling my way a bit. The originals were done at a different angle and with a thicker limb. But I found the pastels really annoying to use (they're very soft), so I re-did the sketches in colored pencil in the current orientation... only to find out that my scanner wouldn't pick up the light areas of the pencil on the black paper. So it was back to pastels again....
But each individual sketch only took maybe 8 to 10 minutes.
Cheers,
-- Jeff.
