How It's Done

I thought it would be interesting to show a work in progress through a time-lapsed screen recording. I recently took a panorama of the Austin skyline with the intention of turning it into an illustration. I figure this will be a really good project to show in-progress, and it will be interesting to see the whole thing come together. It took a lot of googling to figure out how to record the screen shots exactly the way I wanted to. Hopefully you can see that in addition to the bottom window where I'm doing the actual work, I am keeping a top window open that will be a zoomed-out view of the whole illustration as it comes together. What you see in that window is really only half of the final panorama, which is so wide that it's more practical to do two illustrations and stitch them together later. So, this will definitely be a long-term project and I'll try to post the latest time-lapses regularly.

Also, much credit is due to Mr. Alex Soto for inspiring this idea and for his technical advice.
