Relying on a single pencil-drawn, black frame, the sequence offers a suite of variations by erasing or coloring some of the frame's components.
Here are nine stages of the drawing and the colors, starting with the base frame, then choosing eight variations among those proposed by the animated sequence.
A long series of pencil-drawn lines occasionally interrupted by sharp hatchings or enriched by areas of flat colors.
first movement: fast and restless
second movement: slow and meditative
third movement: on three motifs

Here, the sequence is not the animation of a drawing made originally on paper, but a collage of photographs taken by the author during a cruise in the Baffin Bay.
Note that, though a few colored lines and transparencies have been added here and there, the original appearance of the sky, water and icebergs was not changed.
Here, the original drawing on paper only provides a framework for a color and transparency setting that was made entirely in Photoshop.
