Today we are doing 10 oddly satisfying art ideas!
You guys have been requesting
another drawing ideas video for quite some time.
So... drumroll please!
I'm gonna do an air drumroll *awkward silence*
Since there's gonna be a lot of drawing ideas
packed into this, let's just dive in!
Alright, real talk...
Have you ever wanted to draw an eye, but
you kind of feel like you do the same thing every time and it gets kind of
boring? And maybe you want to spice things up a bit.. this one is for you!
Get an ink pen a fountain pen whatever you have...
and do a big sketch of an eye on
your paper, but leave a giant space below it because we have a twist coming at you!
[MUSIC PLAYS IN BACKGROUND]
All right now that we added our giant rainbow tears or slime or whatever this
is... you can color the iris if you want.
You can touch up the slimy tear things
Do a little bit of shading..
and at the end, this looks sweet!
And there you go.
You have an eye, but with a twist.
One of my favorites is covering a canvas or
a piece of paper with a solid color...
and then doing some festive seasonal
folk art on top.
*creepily shows finished painting*
If you like abstract art and inking,
this one is definitely up your alley!
So I'm using a gold leaf marker,
and just doing some diagonal lines at the top...
Then I'm taking a fountain pen, and scribbling
everywhere except for the bottom of the page.
Filling this out... filling this out...
same exact kind of scribbles over and over again...
Then, I'm taking a thick marker...
and I'm gonna outline the bottom of the scribbles.
That's all I'm doing, just outlining where they end...
Then I'm taking that same marker and I'm doing it stripes
to fill in the bottom of the paper.
It's kind of cool.
Kind of looks like a piano, but it's not!
So once you finish,
that part then you can take a smaller marker
or a fine liner, and just do some
hatching at the bottom of the paper.
It adds a really cool dimensional effect.
It looks really sweet.
And it's abstract... and really therapeutic to make!
[MUSIC PLAYS]
All right, where are my foodies at?
Raise your hand!
Tell me what your favorite food is down in the comments.
So what I'm doing here is...
taking markers and laying
down a foundation of a cupcake.
But I'm not getting hung up on shading with the cupcake.
I'm literally just using three markers,
and then we are gonna switch art
supplies after this...
because mixed-media is fun!
Especially with food!
I love adding just the base colors
and then going over everything with colored pencil.
It looks really sweet.
The blending feels
really smooth..
I think the effect looks really cool.
So if you don't
have a lot of markers,
or maybe you only have a couple...
This is a great way to
utilize them while incorporating other supplies!
And at the end, you have a
really cute cupcake so.. hey! :)
[MUSIC PLAYS]
Yeah, so I really just want to eat this one...
that's that's all I want...
a cupcake...
Even though I'm not using a sketchbook at the moment,
I love doing
this one in sketchbooks.
If you want to add a pop of color to your sketchbook,
or just to your sketch in general...
then you can draw a person...
draw the face and shade it
how you want it with your pencil.
No big deal, right?
The usual...
But again, we're adding a twist!
So this one to me is very oddly
satisfying, because you have a semi-realistic
sketch of a face with this
super bright neon hair.
And it really pops off the page.
Really adds some color...
And kind of makes it very eye-catching and interesting.
So after you lay down
the hair color,
you can go in with your pencil,
and shade over top the hair.
Or you can stop right there and just have solid-colored hair.
Whatever you prefer!
And if you feel like being fancy...
you could even do tons of colors in the hair.
You don't have to just do one bright color.
You can have your own creative liberties.
I decided to make the lips bright pink too,
and here we go!
There's our cool person.
[MUSIC]
If you don't feel like drawing anything in particular,
or maybe you're stressed out...
you don't know where to start...
Hey! Have no fear you don't have to draw
a certain thing...
you can just draw a bunch of blobs, and follow the rainbow!
It's so satisfying.
You do this fun gradient effect with blobs,
and repeat
repeat and repeat!
[MUSIC]
Now I must warn you,
this one is very time-consuming.
That's why I'm only using
a half sheet of paper.
But if you want to go all out you can do a whole sheet.
If you're feeling brave, let me know if you do a full sheet!
I'm curious!
Anyway, it does look very beautiful at the end.
It is a great way to combat stress.
And it is so satisfying to look at when you're done.
If you have markers, crayons,
colored pencils, or paint laying around...
You can do this one!
It's really fun.
Really easy.
All you do is pick a color you like and draw a squiggle.
Alright?
After that, sketch a pencil at the end of your scribble.
If you use paint, you can
even draw a paintbrush.
So I am just going to shade my pencil,
and make it kind of cartoony.
If you want to do a really realistic one that would look sweet!
But I decided to do a cartoony one for fun.
Now after you shade your pencil and have
it exactly how you like...
You can color the lead too!
And then shade underneath it
to make it look like it's actually hovering on the paper.
It looks so cool when you're done!
And it's a fun and pop of color!
If you are into hand-lettering...
This one is fantastic for you!
So pick a quote that you really like,
or a phrase that maybe you have said.
I chose "you are not your past," because
I think it's a very empowering quote.
And make it decorative
So some tips on how to do that
is draw more than one font.
I did print and cursive.
And then you can dress it up by
perhaps adding a decorative ribbon and
putting one of your words in the ribbon.
I did that in the middle of my quote and
then.. after you have your quote written out,
you can really dress this baby up
with some simple techniques.
For instance, drop shadows with a different color.
Just add your drop shadows to your word...
If you did do a ribbon like me,
color it in!
Make it pop.
It's really easy.
I'm doing another drop shadow with a different marker,
and it looks really colorful now that all that's done.
And then I did little sun rays around one word.
And boom!
Here you go!
[MUSIC]
If you are someone who is
intimidated by shading...
this one is wonderful for you!
So let's borrow that technique from earlier where we just cover a piece of
paper or a canvas with a solid color.
Now, I want you to think of an animal that you really like.
Now think of an outfit you really like...
and paint your animal
wearing clothing!
So the beauty of folk art
is you don't have to have perfect
realistic proportions.
And you don't have to do shading.
You can add your own flare to this.
Make it whimsical.
Folk art is simple, because
you use a limited color palette...
you get to repeat a lot of shapes...
and if you want to add texture you can just do simple lines!
So that's what we're gonna do.
See those lines in the fur?
Once I color in this sweater,
I am going to repeat that same texture technique on my sweater.
Ready for this?
All right, let's do it!
[MUSIC]
Now that our outfit is finished,
let's add some plants in the background.
We are going to fill this space by essentially repeating the plant shapes
and boom! Looks really uniform.
It looks really polished up at the end,
but we didn't do shading! And that's okay!
[MUSIC]
If you're looking to make some home decor
on a budget,
or maybe do a gift topper for someone...
this is a great idea!
Just take a different color piece of paper,
and ink a plant on it.
It looks really minimalistic, but modern.
And it really pops off the page.
So... all you budget decorators:
this is a wonderful one for you!
I like to do this one and sometimes
I like to actually go outside and press a plant in a frame,
because that's another cool way to decorate.
[MUSIC]
All right! That concludes our ten oddly satisfying art ideas.
Hopefully you found them satisfying.
But more importantly, I hope it inspires you to create!
I actually make a lot of art idea videos,
and videos on how to fill your sketchbook.
