Here's a sped-up video showing him in action: https://twitter.com/jesawyer/status/1577731089602265089

Absurd to see that kind of detail emerge like that.

Holy crap, not a single line of sketchwork! Amazing.
Yeah it's unreal. And the result is so well-proportioned and 3-dimensional as well. I wonder how much of it was in his mind before he started, and how much was about figuring out what would fit along the way.
I can't remember the source, but I remember learning that his specialty was 5-point perspective and he could keep most of the drawing visualized in his mind before he even started. But he also improvised a lot and made decisions on the fly.

Unreal is definitely the right word, similar to watching Michael Jordan at his best.

He died of heart issue based on some replies to that tweet?
That guy has a really good sense of proportion.
what’s going with twitter’s mobile video player (on safari). literally no way to just watch the video without it being half obscured with the tweet it’s attached to
