He’s running one of the most original Paper-based project. Michael Rose draws profile pictures around Twitter, with a terrific rythm : one sketch per day, using the #PaperFaces hashtag. Follow him on twitter and tumblr !
I “blogged” about my #PaperFaces project over on my website. Check it out if you want.

She loves to draw, she loves to eat out (I suspect her being french), and mixes both in her tumblr. drawingtableforone just published a note about the way she works draws. As the sketches she usually does, it’s clever, clear, and instructive.
A couple of folks have asked me how I start my drawings. First I look at the space, drop a few key lines on the “page” to get the perspective and proportions right (or as right as I can get them) and then let the rest of the drawing flow. I must confess that I use the eraser and the “rewind” feature quite a bit but my goal is not to draw the perfect drawing. I usually start with the ink pen and then use the fountain pen for a heavier line weight/contrast. Here’s an image of my Cafe Rabelais drawing before I added color.

Impressive Paper user Mike Acosta just finished his tribute to Neil Armstrong, and published a step-by-step on his tumblr, AcostaImages :

Eight minutes to draw a “tribute to Neil Armstrong”
Well, it’s not perfect, but far more telling than the previous four-steps how-to.
I made the previously released tribute to Neil Armstrong with the idea of filming the whole process. What involved trying to draw fast, at once, and editing an even quicker video. So I sat up a webcam above the ipad (yes, it could be better…), made some tea (too much, as usual), and started drawing at 2 a.m.
The camera wasn’t filming but shooting a picture every 1.5 second, using autowebcam.
The sketch was finished around 4 a.m. what generated over 5100 pictures (640x480), edited in windows MovieMaker with real Appolo 11 radio records for your ears.
The 8’30 long video (should be shorter), has been put on youtube with a few more comments. But I forgot to rotate it…
As re-encoding the files takes forever, a 180° version will be available soon… meanwhile, flip your screen
Stay tuned !
“Tribute to Neil Armstrong”
Made with Paper
A new kind of making-of has been tested. More than 5000 pictures of the drawing process have been taken, using a webcam. The resulting animation will be featured on the Paper Lab within a few hours… Stay tuned !
