Adam & Steph: Hi art friends!
Steph: so we have got a fun little video today and Adam just doesn't know how fun it's going to be just yet!
Adam: why are we here? *nervous*
S: So first up, you've probably seen the title
this is a ballpoint pen challenge
we looked ALL around the house for ballpoint pens
because we thought this would be the easiest video ever to film
turns out we couldn't find a single working ballpoint pen in the house
so Adam actually had to go out and buy ballpoint pens LOL Adam: those are good pens!!
S: yeah! they come in assorted colours!
But I have got a fun little idea for this video, but it will involve opening this because I need to write some things down
A: do you want to hold this? S: Okay <:
A: I still don't know what we're doing :/
S: haha well the thing I was finding difficult with this video everytime I thought about doing it
because a lot of you have suggested that we do it!
is that I didn't know what we'd draw
because with this challenge you don't do anything with pencil, you just go straight in with pen
S: wow that's a lot of pens that you've got A: there's a green one too!
S: so I'm going to write a few things down on paper, then I'll tear them up and we can pick from them
We'll blind pick one and then that'll be the subject that we draw A: is it just one or do we have to mix two together?
S: We could end up mixing them together but I've got about 4 subjects for us to pick from, so are you ready?
A: Am I allowed to see these? S: yeah, yeah sure :D
A: okay!
S: So #1 .. Frogs
#2 .. Dogs.
#3 Mogs. That's what they call cats, right?
and #4 .. Logs.
Hahhahah!
Come on isn't that a good idea?!
Oh I've been so excited to do this all morning
A: Is THIS what your big surprise was???
S: YES. This is the BIG surprise
A: This is terrible o__o;
A: I was like "she's going to go all out in this one" and it's going to be so cool
but no we're drawing, frogs, dogs, cats and wood
S: haha I'm really hoping that you get logs
A: If I get logs. I will draw the BEST logs that you have ever seen.
S: Okay so lets get these folded up
A: Can't I add some things to this? S: Maybe afterwards but lets go with these suggestions first
A: But there's one problem though S: What?
A: your suggestions are lame
S: they're not lame ^__^
A: We'll do yours first, but then I get to write some things S: okayy
S: close your eyes
A: Oh okay. Guide me to where they might be
S: they're in my hand
A: I CAN'T SEE YOUR HAND. S: Ohhh yeah hahaha :')
A: Oh they're here
S: yeah! pick one!
A: ummm this one
S: yeah, that's one!
which one is it?
A: UGH as if, really ?? >:c S: YOU GOT LOGS HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAH
S: Well at least I know I'm going to get a good one :D
OH NO, There was another one I was going to add to it and I forgot D:
I was going to add hogs </3
Hahahahhaa!! A: I was going to say, why logs?!?! o___O
A: This challenged has FAILED already S: no it hasn't
A: so what's yours?
S: DOGS! :D
A: Oh geeez .__.
S: wow we've only got 1 red pen in this mix
A: oh well I'm good, logs aren't red
unless someone's been bludgeoned with one
S: You could do a blue log if you really wanted
A: I want to use a black one
S: ooh drawing a dog might be difficult
A: if you guys are super curious about which pens we're using, we're using theseee!
S: I ran off to get my phone so I could get a reference
.. Do you need a reference of a log?! A: uhh I think I've got this
S: I admire a strong man that needs no reference ;>
A: "I don't need no reference to draw wood"
meh I might aswell get this over with
S: Don't you dare draw one in like 2 seconds!!
A: eheh
OOH these pens are quite good!
S: Psh that's round, that's not a log.
oh okay I'll let you off, ooh 3D dimension. look at that.
is it challenging drawing just in pen?
A: It probably WOULD be more challenging if I didn't just have to draw a freaking LOG.
S: Hhahaha!!!
A: This is the WORST challenge. Ever.
S: But youtube loves challenge videos <3
if you're watching this video and you feel like you're up for a challenge, can you draw a log and tag Adam in it on instagram haha
A: haha #woodforadam
S: hahaha that sounds so dodgy D:
I haven't even started yet and your log is almost finished x__x
A: thereee we go. So thanks for watching this weeks Doodle Date S: NOOO
S: do you want to pick a second prompt? A: No. I'm going to write some things down
S: are you :o A: yeah I'm going to write some things down
S: ohhh go on then But I haven't even drawn a dog yet!!
A: Don't worry! I might need a minute to write down something good.
S: Can you put a hog in it because I forgot to write hogs :( A: okay.
A: there's going to be 2 that you have to pick from
one will be an animal / person and it has to be in the style of the second thing you pick
S: you do realise we're doing this in pen with no pencil!?!
A: EXACTLY. This is what you get for doing such a rubbish challenge.
S: Hahaha!
He's doing that thing again where he hides down the side of the bed A: It's the only privacy I get in this house!!
S: we live in such a tiny little apartment that this basically is his only hiding place
S: you could always lock yourself in the wardrobe A: oh yeah
S: can we appreciate that Adam's just brought 2 jars into the room
A: It's all part of my master plan!
S: I have no idea what's going on
A: there's one
S: is there a certain order that we have to take them out the jars?
A: yeah that one's first!
otherwise these won't make any sense haha
S: who's picking first then? A: Youu
S: ooh okay
A: you have to pick one out, but DON'T open it yet
S: ok
A: now put that one you've picked to one side
Now pick one from this other jar
What does it say?
S: A crested guinea pig!!
AWW that's like Bumble (p.s we have a guineapig called Bumble. He also has a crest.)
A: what's he doing?
S: CALLING A TAXI??
A: so that's what you've got to draw haha
S: okay I'm in ?
S: so it's your turn to pick now
A: well to make it fair you can pick one
because I wrote them, I'll let you pick it and I'll open it
so lets see what we've got
so you have picked for me: A Unicorn Cat.
A: oh geez, in Naruto
S: In Naruto!?!
A: Great
I think you got the better ones
S: I'm feeling quite confident that I don't need a reference because I've looked at Bumble so much and I've drawn him quite a lot
The first thing to know about Bumble is that he's got really little eyes <3
A: he has such cute little beady eyes
S: and he's got a cute little pink nose
A: OH you can use the red!
I think that's looking pretty good so far! S: hahahaha
A: he kind of looks a bit like a turnip
S: and he always has his mouth open and he has quite big teeth
This is SUCH an un-cute picture of a guineapig so far
A: "I'm SO good at drawing Bumble. I'm going to make him really cute!"
you're doing way better than what I thought you would
S: for what it's worth it's not going as well as what I thought it would ahha
I might give him little blue shorts
I like how most people that do this challenge actually do BEAUTIFUL looking drawings
A: did I ruin this?
S: HAHAH. If you've come here for beautiful artwork then you might be on the wrong channel!
A: He's phoning them!! Why's he like "TAXIIIIII!!"
A: when you phone a taxi company do you just scream TAXI down the phone at them?
S: he's a guinea pig! He doesn't know how it works!
A: what was mine? S: A unicorn cat in Naruto
A: oh well I might aswell incorporate this log that I already drew
S: is that a Naruto log? A: There are logs in it!! So we could get away with it, I guess.
S: are you finding it difficult? A: yeah!
S: it would be a difficult challenge to do with a pencil! nevermind going straight in with a pen haha
A: this is starting to look like you know who S: The atomic cats!!
A: the atomic cats had quite flat ears so this guy can have quite pointy ears
A: he's just like "this is mine"
S: look at those little 2D arms haha A: I know yeah!!
A: I think the log's sort of rolled over his arms hahaha
A: he's just like "My arm's are crushed!!"
OH and he's meant to be a unicorn isn't he!? S: Yeah! You've just drawn a cat with a log so far LOL
A: TAXIII S: You know what guys, this is the last page I have pretty much in my doodle date sketchbook
oh no .. wait.. this is. I'm drawing it in yours O__O
A: ARE YOU? So I'm drawing this in yours haha!
yeah this is yours hahah
S: Oh well we've had a little sketchbook swap, how on earth did that happen??
A: I'm glad I haven't drawn anything with arms this flat in mine
S: for some reason we've decided to do a collaboration for our final sketchbook video ahha
what on earth's that haha?!?!
A: I wasn't happy with old flat arms
he's using his secret ninja technique using his big horn
this time he can have hooves
S: HOOVES hahah, a cat with hooves!!
A: can you tell that I don't draw in biro pen very often?
S: No way you're like a pro! This is like the BEST ballpoint pen video on the entire of YouTube.
A: I have to do construction lines and stuff before I can do anything
S: We do have other colours you know! A: Because that's going to save it, isn't it hahaha
S: it doesn't have any whiskers A: ah it can have red whiskers then, why not
A: You drawn yours way too quick! There's some harder ones in there that you need to do.
S: I still need to draw a POOCH
A: Oh yeah! I completely forgot.
Well let's divert the attention away from this monstrosity
S: I found a ref of a german shepherd, that'd be cute to draw
A: I love German shepherds! There's a family nearby that have one <3
S: Weirdly I can jump straight into inking drawings when I have a brush
but I'm not used to using a biro pen at all
A: your lines have gone so scratchy, you never ever do that
it's really interesting to see S: to see how I'm failing ahhaa
that's the fun thing about pen though, there's no going back once you've drawn it
A: it's like a tool of instant regret
do you want to pick some more things?
S: oh lets go for it, lets see what damage we can do
A: okay!
are you shaking that?
S: *sneezes*
S: I sneezed ;; A: bless you honey <3
S: okay #1 ... and #2
A: what does it say?
S: TINA BELCHER?
A: that's a good one! S: I like that character
"going nuclear"?? A: yeah!
S: so is that like, a glowing Tina Belcher haha? A: Yeah sure!
A: So I think this is number 1
ohhh I was really hoping that you'd get this one S: what is it??
A: can you read it? S: "A guinea pig having trouble with its plumbing"
S: I love watching you draw guinea pigs, it's always so funny!!
A: hahah in Minecraft
Okay I think I can work with that!
S: this is a classic Adam guinea pig
how does this relate to Minecraft?
A: well you see S: Right, I'm watching
A: he's realised he's not very good at plumbing
so he's decided to call someone to come and get it
and it happens to be a Creeper!
He's a plumber.
S: this is a very elaborate story that you're making
A: now I don't actually remember what Creeper's look like off the top of my head
S: we have a green!
A: oh yeah *throws pen* S: don't just throw a biro pen on the bed haha!
A: you can tell this Creeper is a plumber creeper because he's got 2 blue legs and one green one
S: oh is that the trick
A: that's how you know!
S: how come he doesn't have a Mario moustache
A: ahhaha fine, he can have a Mario moustache too
we can give him a Mario hat while he's at it
S: this is like a crossover nightmare this video now haha
A: you wanted him to have a moustache so there you go
S: That's not a Mario moustache!!
That's like a really old fashioned moustache! A: HAHA yeah!!
A: Oh god yeah Mario doesn't have a curly moustache does he
What was I thinking?!?!?
oh no he's like "I say good fellow are you having problems with your plumbing?"
S: the guinea pig doesn't even know he's there!
A: "Oh crumbs I've broken in again."
S: why's there an explosion coming out the bottom hahaha A: It's the WATER coming out!!
S: haha I can't remember what I'm meant to draw now
A: yours was Tina Belcher going nuclear
S: Ohh yeah, I won't look at a reference for her
A: I haven't used any references and that's why that Mario moustache looks AWFUL
S: So I'm doing like a nuclear cannister
I think she looks something or other like this
she has glasses Adam: *loud Tina groan*
S: For anyone who doesn't know, Tina's from Bob's burgers
we watch this so often, we've seen basically everyone episode of the show
and from memory, This happens.
*draws stink lines* and it can smell bad
A: yeah because nuclear waste is known for smelling bad.
S: I wouldn't know! I've never smelled it.
A: okay are you ready for the final round??
S: lets just do this hahah
A: so what's number #1?
S: OH IT'S A HOG. Yes!!
A: Finally! S: My special day has come!
S: in Gravity Falls
A: you're not allowed to draw Waddles though
because he was a pig
S: oh yeah!! nah I was thinking a hog with the proper tusks
A: yeah yeah!!
S: make it thumbnail worthy
A: ohhh .. no pressure
S: should we just put a picture of the Mona Lisa on the front of this video so that people will watch it?
A: yes! "drawing the Mona Lisa with ballpoint pens" hahaha
A: okay what have I got?
S: A funky walrus ??
A: Finally!! Something GOOD.
"filing taxes"
S: hahaha I can relate to this walrus
A: I don't know where I'm going to fit him
S: in a filing cabinet
A: I don't even know what a walrus looks like...
S: are you joking me ?? you used to have a plush toy of one!
A: give me your phone hahaha I want to do a good job of a walrus!!
S: where's his taxes? A: there needs to be a walrus first.
S: haha what came first? The taxes or the walrus?
A: you can tell she's filing her taxes because she's wrote taxes on the top!
she's not looking all that funky right now, but what you don't realise is
S: right, what don't we realise? A: she actually files her taxes underneath a disco ball
S: when she jumps in the water, all of this is going to get destroyed. Including her taxes.
A: she's that funky she glued it to her face
and she glued her taxes into her hands, so she can never stop filing taxes
S: I'm quickly getting up a reference of a hog
because my memory of hogs isn't so great
Well I know one of the main things about Gravity Falls is that the eyes are always really close together
kind of like the Simpsons but I think they have bigger pupils?
ohh dear this isn't looking very hog like
I'm trying to find some details that might make it look a bit more hog-ish
A: well should we try and draw something real quick S: *throws pen* A: oh dear
A: ok for the next bit we've decided to ditch the horrible jars S: hahaha nothing was going right!
A: we'll try and do something without the use of those jars, but we hope you enjoyed that bit because it was really tough
S: I'm just going to go find me a fashion lady
because even that will be challenging to do just in pen
A: that kind of looks like a hat to me
S: It might've been a mistake drawing the hat first before I'd drawn the person underneath it
I'm whizzing along with this now that I understand the subject matter a bit better
A: I've kind of had to do what I normally do, just not as rough
I've had to put basic shapes in to get an idea of what I'm doing
S: I like the way the red and black ink looks together
A: ah you're blocking in a shape! that might actually be a good idea
S: I think it's the way my brain works best
I'm trying to focus on getting lots of different line variations in
A: That's why I really like the hat S: Yeah I like the hat but nothing else really went like that hahaha
S: oh do you put the eyebrows in first?? A: Sometimes!
S: I basically always start with the eyes
aw this is looking a LOT more like your artwork now
A: Yeah now it is, yeah!
S: is that someone wearing armour?
A: that's what I'm trying to go for with this
S: I always like watching you draw hair! It's like WOOSH, WOOSH, WOOSH.
you keep sitting on pens that don't have lids on them haha
A: haha I'm going to have such an inky butt by the time we're finished
S: I've found one pen that doesn't have a lid. Would you know anything about that Adamo?
A: errrr no
S: AH. I think I found the culprit hahah!
A: HAHA did I do that ?
S: can you give it a pull for me?
oh.. that's very confusing.
different coloured pens!
A: IT'S A FIRST.
A: I just want to add some details to the armour because it looks a little bit too plain
S: I like how we're still doing this in each others sketchbooks haha
A: yeah we didn't swap, even for this bit! We just sort of carried on with it.
S: OOh you're really going to town with rendering this :o
A: Yeah! I need to REDEEM myself.
S: you know I've just noticed, this awful page that I've drawn
look at which page it's next to in Adam's sketchbook D:
this is like so many people's favourite drawing of Adam's and I've done it next to these :|
A: awww it doesn't matter
S: I'm hiding it from existence
my friend Verity drew that in your sketchbook haha
A: yeah when she came to visit :D
S: really quickly before we show you the finished artwork
I'm going to stick a playlist up there with other art challenges we've done, if for some reason you want to see some more!?
A: THEY'RE BETTER THAN THIS
I promise.
okay guys we don't want to show you the other ones
DOOODLE DATE
S: We've still got these pieces of paper everywhere A: The aftermath.
