Eight of the drawings included in the video have already been presented in another article of the site.
This is the ninth.
Here are also a few snapshots from what the merging of drawings and colors results in.
... or strings?
More than a thousand drawings made "by hand" for three minutes of animated sequence...
... or strings?
Two examples chosen from the thousand drawings made on ipad for the animated sequence.
Compositions on Ipad
And here are new compositions entirely made on Ipad....
First tests on Ipad
Before, when we went on a trip, I carried my pencils and my block of drawing paper to make compositions that I scanned and colorized back home before animating them in the form of a video.
For our trip to Burma and Indonesia, I took my IPad Pro to familiarize myself with the techniques of drawing or digital painting on a tablet. Here is the result of these first tests that have not resulted in a video, at least for now.
Firstly, three compositions made of memory after the spectacle of a sunset on the Indian Ocean in tropical storm weather: a classic figurative version, then a version with more abstract forms and, finally, a very refined version.
Then other compositions using varied graphic and pictorial techniques.
Wave or corpuscle?
Triangular surfaces, sticks, ribbons, cloudy backgrounds: sole basic elements for a three-movement composition.
On the progressively changing funds, the triangles quickly pass as punctual elements; ribbons aggregate in flat surfaces or slowly undulate; sticks sometimes appear isolated or often assemble together to form moving waves.
First movement: Agitato
Second movement: Largo
Third movement: Andante con moto

Back to black and white
A return to black and white, with a few shades of gray (fifty?) ... and the fleeting passage of the blue and fuchsia pink.
Back to black and white
The drawing was made directly in digital for its most part, with some borrowings to old compositions drawn on paper in pencil or ink from China.
Paper compositions
A computer breakdown and a week of repair, followed by fifteen days of travel: the opportunity to return to the beginnings of the videos, making on paper compositions combining pencil and ink from China. Less transparency and depth than in digital compositions, but more material in traits and flat.
