hey everyone this is Mei Yu and welcome to fun friday every friday i try to do
something new
fun and challenging last week was my first travel with the artist video where
I went to visit Legoland Florida
I had lots of fun there and I drew Lego characters on the spot
this time I'm going to challenge myself to draw and color
free hand upside down so i have all my markers here and i have my pen
so basically i'm going to draw freehand with my permanent markers upside down
and color it now this is really challenging because not only is the
image going to be upside down but its permanent so there's no you're racing no
going back or adjusting and I won't see how the final image looks like until I'm
finished the whole thing
now i have my little clock here
this is not a time challenge this is just to see how long it takes me to
finish this challenge I may not talk too much because i have to really
concentrate to get the drawing how I want
okay I'm a little nervous right now
ok so I'm going to start time
ok
yeah
I'll be doing some voiceovers because I didn't want to talk too much in the
video to concentrate more on the challenge
there'll be some sped up parts in case you want to see the uncut real-time long
version you can see that on my second channel may your art
i'll have the link at the end
yeah
it was so weird to think in this different way to drop sit down and to
make sure the proportions are as good as possible
yeah
ok so i have one
i right
it's going to the other one
yeah
ok so i've finished her face and i'll draw her her hair
yeah
but i'll add something to it first
yeah
I wanted to design this art piece with a nature theme so i'm going to draw her
with some beautiful flowers
this right now is the flower by her neck area
yeah
it was challenging to draw her body to see the distance and proportions
so each line i put down shows the correct proportion in size
I have to be really careful to make sure that every line I drawing will help make
this drawing as good as they can
yeah
I try to make the folds in her dress soft and flowing
it was challenging because i had to imagine a body underneath and how that
would affect the folds in a dress but upside down
alright so i think i am now done the drawing part i have no idea what it
looks like right setup and now i'm going to start to color this picture so i put
my pen here and i will start to choose the colors for her so I think I'll begin
with my skin tone
ok so i'm done with the skin color
i'm going to choose a color for her hair
yeah
ok
yeah
ok now going into her dress
yeah
I wanted her dress to have some nice color blending and gradual variations
from dark to light and then back to dark
i'm adding different light blues rock was in turquoise
yeah
for her flowers
I wanted bright colors to compliment her hair and blue dress
yeah
now I'm adding some finishing touches
yeah
okay i think i'm all done now
so one more thing I have to do is to sign my name and I'm gonna sign it up so
tell to my map in here and i'm gonna sign it right here
so I do kind of think how I'm gonna do this so right
this is really challenging there
OMG ok alright so spend an hour
so this is the this is going to be the first time I'm going to see this right
side up
I'm going to take my paper
just take it off ok so here's my picture
I'm going to see it now for the first time oh that's not bad
I like it oh I think he's really pretty
yeah i like how i got her hair and the face is not too bad in the eyes and the
color in the dress and the flowers and I think it's pretty good
