Letitia PfinderI thought it would be fun to show you the whole process of creating a finished art work. In this time lapse video I am sketching out the rough part on some paper. I also wanted to use this time for practice. Drawing people can be frustrating, or at least I find it is. I wanted to be real about my process, here it is.
Sketching - Butterfly Girl (Part One)Letitia Pfinder2016-06-02 | I thought it would be fun to show you the whole process of creating a finished art work.

http://www.apparentlyamom.comShe Knows - Digital speed artLetitia Pfinder2020-06-13 | In this video I talk about the inspiration behind this work and the challenges I had set for myself while creating it. I had a lot of fun playing around with this as I am adapting my style a bit.
I started off with a pencil sketch and brought that into procreate on my iPad and continued it on from there. As stated I used my iPad, procreate, and also a ipencil to create this. Adding some more realistic elements into my work has been both challenging and exciting and I will continue to explore this.
Let me know if you caught the little Easter Egg in the video ;)
I hope you enjoy watching this come to fruition through this speed art. Art has been cathartic for me lately and that is definitely something I will be touching on, on the blog and possibly on here as well if I can figure out a way to actually film.

http://www.apparentlyamom.comWatercolour Fantasy Time Lapse - Earth WalkerLetitia Pfinder2016-07-23 | "Earth Walker" was created with water colour on canvas with some microns to outline and some white gel pen for accents. I have been playing around with using the watercolour and canvas combination and this is one of the pieces I have ended up with while experimenting. The paint behaves differently on canvas than it does on paper so, it has been a bit of a learning curve. I am having a lot of fun with it though and I like the results.
http://www.apparentlyamom.comAnniversary Portrait Time Lapse DrawingLetitia Pfinder2016-07-03 | This video features a drawing of my partner and I for our 7 year anniversary. It was done with charcoal on bristol paper. Once it was finished I sprayed it with fixative and framed it, it was a nice gift that we can hang in our home now. The picture of us is a bit old now and difficult to draw because of the angles but I enjoyed making the speed art.
I hope you enjoyed! If there is something you would like to see on my channel please let me know :)
http://www.apparentlyamom.comCharcoal Portrait - Time Lapse - Butterfly Girl (Final - Part 3)Letitia Pfinder2016-06-24 | I thought it would be fun to show you the whole process of creating a finished art work. In this time lapse video I am redoing the piece in a medium I felt was more suited to what I was going for. This was meant to be a 2 part series but turned into a three part so I would end up with something I was happy with. I finished this drawing with predominately charcoal.Thank you for coming on this little journey with me!
http://www.apparentlyamom.comOne Marker ChallengeLetitia Pfinder2016-06-21 | For the One Marker Challenge I used a sketch and inked it before I blindly picked the copic marker. I also opted to use a colourless blender and a white gel pen.
Marker I picked: R32 Peach
Enjoy! If there is anything you would like to see me do or talk about on my channel let me know!
http://www.apparentlyamom.comRaccoon vs Garbage - Watercolour Illustration Time LapseLetitia Pfinder2016-06-17 | "Raccoon Vs Garbage" is a time lapse watercolour painting. The illustration was done on watercolour paper with watercolours and pencil crayons which was then sped up to create a speed art. This artwork was inspired by the new waste bins that are raccoon proof. I just thought it was funny and that it would make a cute topic to depict.

I had originally planned to do something for Pride this year (the parade is coming up in Toronto soon) but in the aftermath of recent events I created this while I was working through my own thoughts, emotions, and grief. This flag and flower represent so much more to me than just that, they represent a community coming together, it represents all the young beautiful people this world lost entirely too soon, it represents hope; hope for a brighter future, where love is love, where stuff like this does not happen in our wildest dreams. I tried to voice this video over but I wasn't able to get the words out, my heart is broken and my soul is tired. This time lapse video isn't much but it is what I could offer, it is my tribute.
My condolences to anyone who lost a loved one this past weekend or to anyone who has lost a loved one due to hate.

http://www.apparentlyamom.comArt Fail - Copic Colouring - Butterfly Girl (Part 2)Letitia Pfinder2016-06-07 | I thought it would be fun to show you the whole process of creating a finished art work. In this time lapse video I am inking and colouring on bristol paper. This was meant to be a 2 part series, showing the process of a piece. It did not turn out as I intended and I had some trouble with my inking, as you can see in the video. I don't think the copics worked well with this in the end and I will be redoing it in a different medium to capture the look I was going for. Stay tuned for part 3!

In this time lapse doodle I created some decorative yet creepy flowers. I have been trying to change some things in my life lately, specifically the way I see things. I was inspired by this. In fact, I've been inspired by the idea of seeing or eyes for a bit now and I think it may end up being something I play with more. The drawing was done in a small sketchbook with black ink (a micron pen).
