Line drawing effect

A busy street loses its colour and becomes contour strokes. a wide shot of an ordinary street with pedestrians and parked bicycles, the whole frame dropping to clean black contour lines on plain off-white from the far end of the street forward, each figure keeping its walk as pure line, the strokes redrawing themselves continuously, no colour or shading left anywhere by the time the change reaches the camera, locked wide camera

A drawn interior surrounds one fully photographic person. a wide shot of a kitchen interior drawn entirely in black contour lines on off-white, cupboards, kettle and window frame all pure outline, with one fully photographic person standing at the counter in real skin tone and fabric, their shadow falling as a hatched patch of strokes on the drawn floor, camera pushing in slowly past the drawn table

A dancer exists only as contour strokes that redraw each frame. a dancer moving through a slow turn rendered entirely as clean black contour lines on plain off-white paper, every stroke redrawing itself as the limbs travel so the line weight thickens on the outer edges of the movement, no shading, no colour and no background detail at all, a faint paper grain visible behind the strokes, locked camera at full body height

Contours thicken on the shadow side and thin where light falls. a close shot of a seated person as pure black contour lines on plain off-white, the stroke weight thickening along the shadow side of the face and arm and thinning almost to nothing where the light falls, the weight shifting live as they lean forward so the thick edge travels around the jaw, no shading or colour anywhere in frame, static camera

Ink contours appear stroke by stroke on a photographic subject. a person standing still in a plain room, thin black ink contour lines drawing themselves in over their outline stroke by stroke, following the jaw, the shoulders and the folds of the shirt, the photographic colour draining away behind the lines until only the drawing and an off-white ground remain, the strokes wobbling very slightly as if hand pulled, slow push in

Contour lines are flooded by photographic colour from the edges. a close shot of a line drawing of a person holding a cup on plain off-white, photographic colour and texture flooding in from the outer edges of each shape toward the centre, skin tone, ceramic glaze and fabric weave arriving last, the black contour lines thinning and disappearing once the surface beneath them is complete, camera holding still throughout

A whole crossing exists as animated strokes with no colour. a wide shot of a busy pedestrian crossing rendered entirely in animated black contour lines on plain off-white, every walker described by a handful of strokes that redraw each frame so the whole crowd shimmers, line weight heavier on the nearest figures and lighter at the back, no colour, tone or background beyond faint paper grain, static wide camera

A vertical divide splits the same person into photo and line. a close shot of a person facing camera with a hard vertical divide down the centre of frame, the left half fully photographic with skin tone and shadow, the right half reduced to clean black contour lines on plain off-white with no shading at all, the divide holding steady as they turn their head so both halves move together, flat even light

A drawn landscape is wiped by real photographic terrain. a wide shot of a hillside landscape as clean contour lines on paper, photographic colour and texture sweeping across the frame from left to right and replacing the drawing as it goes, grass, rock and sky arriving fully rendered while the untouched right side remains pure outline, the line and photo edge travelling steadily, slow lateral dolly with the wipe

A portrait reads as fast graphite hatching that keeps moving. a close portrait rendered in fast loose graphite strokes on off-white paper, short overlapping hatch marks describing the cheekbone and the brow and constantly redrawing themselves frame by frame so the hatching crawls, the eyes blinking in line only, no tone or colour anywhere, visible paper texture under the strokes, slow drift across the face
