- Hey YouTube world, it's me, Evelyn.
I'm coming to you in the spirit of art class.
Okay, I'm coming to you in the spirit
of that dusty fragrance of crayon nubs.
I am hype and humbled
to say that this video is made in partnership with HEB.
Now, if you from central and south Texas, you already know.
You already know!
You already know how big this is.
HEB is our beloved grocery store
here in this particular region of Texas.
And they asked me to put some positivity
out into the community, some wholesome content.
So we're finna color.
I posted on Instagram a couple days ago,
some doodles I did of ways we can help each other
locally during this pandemic.
#TexansHelpingTexans.
#YallMeansAll.
And I wanna keep it going, okay?
I wanna keep doodling, I wanna keep coloring.
They say draw what you know,
so I'm gonna draw some Hot Cheetos.
With lime, of course.
The snack of my childhood, adolescence
and adulthood as of yesterday, I tore up a bag.
So yeah we finna draw a bag of Hot Cheetos, for funsies.
That's the only agenda of this video, you know,
maybe we can keep each other company.
You can draw along with me, grab your supplies.
Or you can just sit back, relax
and watch the shenanigans ensue.
(light classical music)
Quick disclaimer, this is not a tutorial, so.
Buckle up.
I already sketched out the snack food in question
with a pencil and I'm going over it in pen.
The goal isn't to draw an exact replica
of Hot Cheetos because I don't know how to do all that.
It's just to get the essence of the Cheetos onto the page.
Turns out an imperfect, wobbly rectangle
makes a great shape for a chip bag.
(light classical music)
I looked up some photos online
to reference how to draw the logo's font.
And it ain't Hot Cheetos without the flames.
So I'm drawing this irregular-looking flame,
wavy pattern-type thing
since a bag of Hot Cheetos has four very distinct colors
and the flames separate them all.
But we're not there yet.
(light classical music)
For whatever reason I did all of that
before closing the other side of the bag, but we press on.
Next you gotta draw the little flame boy,
demon boy, is that a demon?
I'm spending some time drawing all these little
irrelevant accoutrements, because I'm avoiding
the hardest part of this whole undertaking,
which is drawing Chester the Cheetah.
All right.
Just do it.
(light classical music)
Look, his face don't make sense.
Okay, he's a cartoon.
I can't get a grasp of the proportions in space and time.
So I'm just making this up.
I can't draw his whole body so we just doing his head.
Fun fact.
Cheetos, crunchy Cheetos,
were invented in San Antonio, Texas.
But, Hot Cheetos I believe were invented
by a janitor by the name of, was his name Robert Menendez?
I don't, I should know his name.
We are forever indebted to Tio, what's his name,
hold up let's look, Richard Montanez. (giggling)
I mean, I wasn't close, but.
My heart was in it.
(light classical music)
I don't know.
Your girl is struggling and erasing,
and erasing and struggling.
So we're just gonna leave it where we're at, okay?
And start coloring.
So he actually was, I believe, a custodian
at the Frito-Lay factory in California.
And he invented Flaming Hot Cheetos.
I believe he is now, if he hasn't retired,
I don't know how old he is.
He did end up being an executive at Frito-Lay.
(light classical music)
I think I had a hand cramp then. (laughing)
I think that's what that was.
So I'm using this green marker to trace the green part.
Because I was just trying to be somebody.
I was going in with a green colored pencil
and then I realized, ay, so this is
the wrong shade of green.
So I'm looking for my lime green or my yellow green
and it's not until I'm done
coloring the entire section green
that I actually find the correct one.
So I go over with the bright, vibrant green colored pencil.
I used a yellow marker to color in the actual Cheetos logo,
and the coloring continues.
(sharpener scraping)
(light classical music)
I think these three go...
(sharpener scraping)
And I have found myself yet again stalling
Because I'm really not tryna mess up Chester the Cheetah.
Then all this work will have been for nought.
So, we going in with the tan, you feel me?
Things are looking decent.
We're going in with the orange, you know what I'm saying,
kinda liven him up a little bit,
he was looking a little pale in the face.
(subtle music)
It's kinda weird but, it's okay though. (laughing)
What I'm really doing is stalling coloring in the dots.
And I'm just nervous that I'll mess it up,
thusly ruining the entire picture.
His mouth's supposed to be open.
But it still looks kinda weird,
like the proportions (sighs) are kind of off.
But.
We're going in, we're going in with the colored pencil,
the black colored pencil.
Then I'm trying a pen.
Okay.
Then I'm trying a marker, we're leveling up.
We're feeling confident.
I think I'd better quit while I'm ahead.
I would agree.
And now we just finish off the drawing
with a little bit of shading.
Some attention to detail.
That's a white gel pen I'm using on his nose, snout,
I don't know, what is that called?
I think that's it.
It looks, it looks good.
It looks good.
That's giving me Hot Cheetos.
Yeah.
Thumbnail!
It look...
The proportions kinda freak me out, but it's decent.
I would love y'all to tag me in y'all's drawings.
Thanks so much to HEB for sliding
into this little corner of the Internets.
And in the comments below, let me know a couple things.
Number one, where all my Texas cousins at?
Drop your city in the comments.
Number two.
Let me know how people in your community, wherever you are,
are banding together to support each other,
help each other, entertain each other.
Just keep each other, you know what I'm saying, going.
And that includes staying in the house.
Unless you're going to the grocery store.
I have put, have we?
We've put Hot Cheetos in our curbside pickup order.
But no hoarding, okay?
Thanks so much for watching
and I will see y'all on the internet somewhere.
Bye!
Okay the trick, let me tell y'all a quick trick.
Get the Hot Cheetos.
You get some beer salt, lime flavor.
I know.
Hypertension.
Still.
Sprinkle it in the bag.
Shake it up, enjoy.
