Mr Scribbles- thanks!

Felix Lim- thanks for your thoughts … good points … The photos certainly make them stand out to begin with … but you’re right, the context of how I do these makes it more interesting … would they strike us only as scribbles without context ? maybe …

laurent b- thanks Laurent, glad you liked these … interesting that you did something similar … photos of drawing … there’s something there …

E, very nice, the depth added by the focus is a great find. I once applied exactly the same process of drawing by a warm wood fire, flames dancing… let’s say the result was experimental, at best yours at least look good!

These drawings are packed with feelings.
I have been wondering for a long time about the possibility of connecting the act of drawing with a live performance art (concert/dance/orchestra).
I think these drawings are quite successful in conveying an energy, but Im not sure if I would feel the same way if you hadn’t mentioned the context.
Food for thought.

David, KTor, weno, ryan mcdougal, Anonymous, Karen- thanks so much for your comments, I appreciate you leaving feedback !

Alina- I am gonna look them up, sounds interesting, I always love architect’s sketches.

Chris fason- I’d like to do that one of these days, it would be interesting indeed.

Just got back from NYC and did a bunch more of these at a couple of performances. It’s been fun …
will post some more soon.

I really the dancers’ movement strung all together without breaks… just like in real life!

Really dig the style and the photos as well…even if the out of focus was a happy mistake :), the combination of the free flowing lines and the blur make it feel like there is movement there. Keep it up.

great research! i always have the same thoughts when i try sketching people while they’re moving.
and experimenting this with dance is amazing.
