Trying out timelapse sketching, using this goose-neck camera mount and this type of GoPro camera (when it was even cheaper!) which has a 170 degree very wide-angle lens. The films are fun to do, and an interesting way to reflect on your sketching process/approach/bad habits etc. The top one was done using a new ‘Franken-pen’ which combines a bamboo dip-pen at one end, and a water-brush at the other; I can dip both into the ink-pot (top right) for line and tone with minimal disruption to the ‘flow’ of drawing. Ridiculous looking, but it seems to work well!
First, a busy Sunday afternoon by Bath Abbey…
Second, a busy afternoon at the Roman Baths…
Mostly drawing 
What fun! these videos have saved me and my long work afternoon. Thank you Ed.
You’re welcome!
I love your videos! You and Mike Daikubara are making good use of the GoPro — finally a use that doesn’t make me dizzy! 😉 And your Frankenpenbrush! You are a master of the hack, Dr. Mostly!

Many thanks. Fixing the camera to the sketchbook is the key to the steady image, no migraine…
Really great. Brings back good memories. I love what you did here.
I went to a vintage car show yesterday, which was fun but people kept walking in front of the cars, which was tricky as I kept working on another part of the car and it wasn’t easy to join up the parts. In the end I went back to drawing people. It was Canada day so everyone was dressed in red which was great as I rarely use the red in my paintbox!
Thanks Susie, the second one’s nearly exactly where we were sketching! Happy 150th birthday Canada, paint the town red…
Love the videos, although I couldn’t get them to play and had to scroll through them.
Hmm, not sure why. They’re also on the USk Facebook page, they might work through that? https://www.facebook.com/ed.mostly
Love this – what pen were you using?
It’s a bamboo dip-pen (details here) with a water brush at the other end, so I can draw both line and tone.
