- Hi, I'm Kyra.
- Hi, I'm Stephanie.
- Hey, I'm Nick.
- I'm Katia.
- Hey, I'm Kevin.
- Hello.
- Say your name.
- Jackie.
- And today, we're gonna be drawing.
- Baby Yoda mashups.
- Based on the wheel.
- Yes.
- It's gonna be fun. - Will it?
- Go ahead and spin the wheel.
- Lets do it.
(bell rings)
- Oh, you got what I wanted.
- Okay.
- I'm so jealous.
- [Stephanie] Okay.
I can do that, I can do that.
- Go.
I hope it's something fun.
The Hulk?! (laughs)
- [Kevin] Shrek.
- God, okay, whatever.
I don't care.
Shrek is fine.
Shrek is great.
(bell rings) - Ooh.
- [Stephanie] Okay, okay.
- Oh, that's gonna be terrifying.
- [Stephanie] That's morbidly cute, baby Ursula.
- Ugh.
- She must've made a cute baby.
- And
Sonic! - [Katia] Yes.
- I'm happy with that.
- I'm gonna stop it, I'm gonna stop it.
It's gonna be great, it's gonna be.
- Don't stop it, don't stop.
- Totoro. - Totoro, okay.
- Okay, I'll do that one and you do Shrek.
- We can't switch.
- Why? - The wheel has spoken.
- Why can't we?
I wanna draw Totoro.
- All right, you wanna switch?
- [Jackie] Yes.
- I'll do Shrek, you do Totoro.
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Sure.
- Sorry, wheel.
- We're bending the rules and we don't care
because nobody can tell us not to do that.
(whimsical music)
- [Man] Ready, go.
- Nick, how do you normally work?
- I don't know.
My mind just went blank when he said go.
- Oh no.
- Do you have a game plan?
- Think I definitely gonna mash up the octopus element
with kind of the cute, little Baby Yoda.
- Yeah.
- Mine looks like Pikachu.
- It's supposed to look like Totoro.
- Oh my god, really?
- Yeah.
(speaking gibberish)
- So Katia, what the heck is gonna be your approach?
- So I'm literally just taking, like, Hulk's body
and putting Baby Yoda's head on top of it.
- The cool thing about Shrek and Baby Yoda
is they're both wearing kinda burlappy sack kind of getups.
- But I haven't watched The Mandalorian
but why is Baby Yoda dressed like that?
- Here's the story of Baby Yoda.
- [Jackie] Okay.
- Baby Yoda is not actually Baby Yoda.
Baby Yoda is The Child.
That's how they refer to him on the show
and he is a baby of Yoda's species
but not specifically Yoda.
- That feels like a spoiler.
- Also, he's like 50 years old.
- Ew.
- [Kevin] Yeah, he's like 50 years old.
- I knew I hated Baby Yoda. (Kevin laughs)
- Why do you hate Baby Yoda?
- He's terrible.
Look at him.
- [Kevin] What?
- He looks like he's got something up his sleeve.
- I am a nerd.
I know all things Star Wars, Star Trek,
Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter.
Anything else you can think of as nerdy, I know it.
(Katia laughs)
- Mine's kinda starting to look like a gremlin.
- I'm tying to figure out
how to resolve the hood with the ears.
- Oh, they can stick out.
You can make holes for them and they can stick out.
- There you go.
Holes, I like that idea.
That's a good idea.
- I'm curious to see
how you are going to reconcile Baby Yoda's huge ears
with Totoro's little ears.
- I'm not gonna do Baby Yoda ears.
I'm just doing Totoro ears.
- [Kevin] Okay.
- What do you think about that Kevin?
- [Kevin] Well, it's just that
part of what makes Baby Yoda so cute, is his giant ears,
so I sure hope your Totoro is cute.
- So like right now, I keep it very loose, very rough.
I'm just thinking about shapes
and then just thinking about ideas
and then trying to rough them in.
And as I like something like even like with this hair
that I'm drawing right now, I like it so,
I'm starting to kinda finesse it
and bring it more into focus.
- Hm, hm.
- Is that your Yoda?
- I'm trying.
What does Yoda sound like?
I don't remember.
- Sounds like Frank Oz.
And he also puts the subject of his sentences
at the end of his sentences, so.
- Draw Totoro, I will.
- Mm, drawing Shrek, I must.
- How you feeling?
- I love him.
- Oh, I can't wait to see.
- I just colored his eyeballs.
Eye holes?
Whatever they are.
And it's really, it's looking real cute.
It's really coming together and he's looking real angry.
- And I think I'm gonna use that Baby-Yoda-like pose,
like the tea cup pose.
- I am not giving him tea to sip.
I'm making him hold an onion.
- Tea to sip?
- Yeah, the big Baby Yoda meme is him sipping tea.
- Oh, like Kermit
- Yeah, they're saying that he's the new sipping tea meme.
- A lot of what I draw is sort of that vintage GPA,
mid-century, modern, little golden book style.
- Yeah.
- I'm very flattered.
When I was at Disney,
I was called sort of like the modern Mary Blair.
- Oh my god.
- Mary Blair was a visual development artist
at Disney around 1940s, '50s, '60s.
She had a huge influence on shows and rides and movies,
so if you've seen "Alice in Wonderland,"
if you know it's a small world, then you know Mary Blair.
- This looks like someone entered Baby Yoda
into like a beauty pageant.
I don't really like it.
- I love that idea.
So it's, I mean beauty pageants are like drag for babies
and she is like a drag queen.
- Yeah, Ursula is based off of Divine.
- Well, my baby Shrek looks like me.
- That's on brand for you.
- Yep.
- I typically work using a lot of multiply
and color dodge overlays.
So I use multiply a lot which tends to bring my colors down,
and I use color dodge to bring them up.
- I'm painting Sonic blue.
- I like that both of our villains
are kind of purpley themed too.
- [Kyra] I know.
- It's a good little color theme.
- I'm moving onto color.
Shrek is kind of a pea green, which is kind of gross.
- Gross? He's like a swamp green c'mon.
- Yeah, he's like a swamp green.
- What do you think is the hardest thing for
young artists to master early in their careers?
- I think the thing that I've been seeing the most
about young artist and, even older artists too,
is not comparing yourself to other people.
- 100% agree. (laughs)
- I did it all the time when I was in school.
I was like, oh my gosh,
look at all these people who are amazing
- [Katia] Yeah.
- I went to school with some super, super talented people
and it was just, it was terrifying, you know.
The thing that I tell my students nowadays is I tell them,
if you're drawing and the drawing you do today
is better than the drawing you did last week
or a year ago, or whatnot, you're progressing as an artist.
That means you're getting better
- [Katia] Yeah.
- All right.
- Are you done?
- I'm done.
- [Jackie] God, that took forever.
- I think mine looks like me.
- [Jackie] Oh good.
- But I also think it looks like Shrek
and Baby Yoda, so it's a triple mashup.
- That's pretty.
You did more than they asked for.
You did more than what the wheel asked for.
And the wheel is, he's hard to please.
- What do you think Miyazaki would say if he saw yours?
- If Miyazaki saw this, he'd probably go,
that's pretty cool.
I'm like 90, I've seen a lot of fan art of my drawings.
- Is that your Miyazaki impression?
- Yeah I don't know he's not,
he doesn't speak that much English
- I think this is kinda cool,
how about you?
- I feel pretty good about mine,
I like how cute it is.
I'm happy about how cute it is.
- Do you think Miyazaki would want to be on Draw off?
- Oh absolutely not.
100% no
(whimsical music)
- Oh my god.
- Oh my goodness.
Oh I love her earrings.
- This is my baby now
- I love the makeup, the mole,
like Ursula is in there
and she's like ready to mess some stuff up
as little Baby Yoda.
- Oh my god.
(laughs)
This is so adorable
- [Nick] This is great.
- [Katia] He looks like he's about to punch me
he's like hoo.
- You actually did like a full painting
- [Katia] Did I?
- In like 30 minuets
- [Katia] I didn't have enough time
to do anything interesting.
- Like,
how?
- Aww
- Oh my god
- [Kevin] Look at that
- This is so gross Kevin.
- What?
- [Jackie] Ew.
- What do you mean?
- You like just put Shrek's head on to a tiny baby body
- And gave him huge Shrek ears
- [Jackie] I mean its not a bad drawing.
I just hate it.
- Is it cursed?
- Yes its cursed.
Why would, ah.
- Yours is super cute
- [Jackie] Thank you.
- As always.
You did a great job of incorporating
the kinda burlap sack,
but you made it like fancy,
you gave him like a fur collar.
- [Jackie] It looks like a fur collar,
like in the reference I used.
- [Kevin] Oh yep.
- Yeah it looks like a nice little Chanel coat.
- And you went with the small ears.
- [Jackie] I did
I didn't know how to in between it,
so now they're just small.
He looks like a little bunny.
That's bunny to me.
