To make this video, Danny Roberts, the illustrator and painter behind Igor + Andre, chose the music first, a song by Yann Tiersen.
From there, he started sketching. But because he wanted the lines to match the beats of the song, he’d stop after each one to take a picture which means this ethereal little drawing was actually a massive undertaking. It turned out beautifully, the image of Paper magazine’s Julia Frakes, and it’s magical to watch the image appear on blank paper out of nowhere.
