Upstairs Runner

Upstairs Runner, originally uploaded by askthemoon.

This drawing was done from a paused DVD. I liked the people streaming down the hall and up the staircase. In the left background are some people coming in through a lighted doorway and they looked really neat in silhouette with their long shadows, but the drawing didn't come off to show that. But I sort of like it anyway because working from DVD's is a really good exercise. You can keep skimming back and forth til you find just the image you like, and pause there. And all the while you have a sense of the three-dimensionality and motion of the scene because it isn't a still photo- it's a frozen moment.
