today I am trying something I have not tried before this could go amazingly
well or epically awfully but either way I'm gonna give it a shot
and I'm gonna film it so let's go I have an idea in my head of the style I want
to draw in and it's not a style I've necessarily drawn in before so I figured
this is a fun way to involve you guys and also a fun way for me to practice
and also if you're watching this video and you aren't already subscribed to my

it helps me out a lot and I'm very close to fifty thousand subscribers so that
would be wonderful first person I'm going to draw is Grace and grace has as
you can see kind of mid length blonde brown ombre ish kind of hair with
glasses let's just try shall we I don't really have any direction I'm gonna go
in I'm just gonna wing it that's my favorite thing to do you know just
winging it it was at this precise point that I pretty much stopped talking to
the camera because I was heavily concentrating on what I was doing so as
you can see here I'm just sketching out a rough idea of what I want grace to
look like I did actually go on Instagram and Pinterest for some ideas on how to
draw cartoon style people because at this point I quite frankly needed all
the help I could get so yeah once I came up with a basic idea I then how to
tackle the glasses I think I actually managed to do them okay and so as you
can see I'm just using a mono line pen tool it's just in the calligraphy
section on procreate if you're interested and then I'm just going
around and doing a rough idea of where I want the placement of the hair and the
jaw line and kind of just the whole drawing I don't know but as you can see
I'm moving things around rubbing things out and it was a lot of
trial and error
once I get the eyes sorted I once again reduce the opacity of the drawing and
now I'm going over it with the final lines so for the hair I'm using a brown
colored pencil and then you'll see that for the skin I do the same for the
glasses I'll use Brown and for the lips I'll use like a dark pink shade just so when
I color it in the lines don't stand out too much but it still looks like a
cartoon so now it's time to color everything in so I've created a layer
below everything and colored it in with a skin colored shade and then I'm just
going in for the whites of the eyes and drawing the eye shape this was the bit
that I found the hardest for this drawing I was expecting it to be the
glasses as usual but I just couldn't get the eyes right I kept having to go onto
Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration on how on earth to do these eyes so
hopefully they look okay in the end let me know what you think
much like I did with the glasses I actually just copy and pasted over the
eye and then kind of flipped it over just so I know they are completely
symmetrical and I don't have to try and draw them again now I'm doing the mouth
it took me a while to get this right I think I did this vision and then rubbed
it out like at least four times now I'm just adding a little bit of shadow so I
can give the face some definition so I'm just going down the side of the face
under the chin under the nose and I also added some rosiness to the cheeks which
I thought added a cute little touch after drawing the details on her shirt
it's on to the hair so I'm using the same principle I'm using the base color
and then I'm getting a darker shade for the shadows and the lighter shade for
the highlights and of course she has the ombre so I'm doing a little bit of like
a mucky blonde on the bottom blend it in a little bit and then try my best to
replicate her hair
there we go that is my final drawing of grace I actually really really like that
I'm really impressed with how that's turned out to say that's the first ever
time I've done a drawing like this so that took me about three hours I'm gonna
do like two more I think I'm gonna do one guy and then do another girl and
then hopefully if you guys are enjoying this video I can use the other photos
that I got sent and do it again I'm actually super impressed with that and I
think the hair is okay there's definitely room for improvement I'm not
the best at hair like I said if you have any tips please let me know but for now
we're gonna go on to the next person it's the next day I don't have any
makeup on today because I couldn't be bothered to put it on so you're just
gonna have to deal with that so today I'm going to draw my wonderful pal
Dorothy she has an absolute heart of gold and she's gorgeous so we're gonna
draw her today I'm gonna put a youtube video on and I will set it to a
time-lapse I figured yesterday I didn't actually speak to you that much so I
will check in as and when I have an update and here we are again in the sketching
phase this time it didn't actually take me as long to do the sketching because I
actually had an idea of what I wanted to do so it was very happy about that but
as you can see Dorothy has really really long braided hair up in a high ponytail
and I kinda used two photos of her to reference there's this one where you can
see all of her hair and then the other one is the one that I kind of based the
final image from so once I'd got the basic hair shape I flick back into
the other image as you will see
again once I've got a basic drawing down I lower the opacity and I'll draw over
it again so I'm using a skin tone colorful for the jawline and the neck and kind
of the bottom of the drawing then again I color it in I did this backwards again
I'm not sure why I did it and then got rid of it because I realized I needed to
do the rest of the outlines I was getting way ahead of myself so I'm using
pretty much a black color on her hair because obviously she has really dark
hair and then I'll go back in I'm using a red for the outline of the little
bobble and a dark pink kind of red shade for her lips now onto the eyes and the
kind of coloring I hopefully I'm getting the hang of this at this point but I
was just perfecting the shape I decided to do some kind of lower liner and then
add the lashes later on this looks so creepy when it's not got the pupil of
the eye in it oh my god I really don't like that anyway I'm gonna let you get
on watching this so I'm just gonna do the eye like I did before
duplicate it over and then do the details color everything in and get on
to the shadows
how beautiful is that pop of red on her eyes I love it oh my god though this
nose ring took me forever to get the hang of we're now on the final stretch
you can hang in there guys thanks so much for sticking by me and watching
this video I really appreciate it but as usual I'm just coloring in the base
color and then I'll use a dark shade and the lighter shade to add a little bit of
definition but first onto the shadows and the details so I'm just adding some
kind of collarbone shadow and some near the eyes and just
deepening up anything I've already added and then going in with the hair trying
to do these braids I think they turned out okay again let me know what you
think I was trying not to do too much because obviously I do want to keep it
simple and cartoon-like but I wanted to represent the fact that she has the
braids in because they just look so good so I don't know I think I got there in
the end but I also added the little kind of cuff
things that she had in them they probably have a proper name but I
thought that was really cool and made it even more personal so here I am just
drawing the little cuffs which was a cute little finishing touch
and this is the final cartoon drawing I actually love this one I think this
could possibly be my favorite one I didn't actually film an end clip for
this because I was still drawing it at half 11 in the evening I'm really happy
with how it turned out I think I'm kind of obsessed with these drawings now and
yeah let's get on to the third and final one it's day three we're on to the final
drawing and this is going to be a boy I wanted to make sure I was drawing a guy
to try and mix things up and make sure I am practicing all kinds of people I will
say though don't know how I'm gonna do the beard so this is Yuki and his
girlfriend actually volunteered his face for me to draw for this final one so
thank you very much I actually forgot to record me doodling this but that doodle
looked very very dodgy so you'll see that I kind of vaguely follow the
guidelines but just do it completely differently so yeah again trying to
tackle the glasses not even the best time
still hate drawing glasses but I think we got there in the end and then to be
honest it's the same process as before so I am gonna speed it up even more and
leave you in peace with some nice music watching this final drawing
there we go that's it that is all the drawings done that took me so much
longer than I thought it was going to but I actually really really like how
they've all turned out the one I'm not too sure on is the final one the one
with the guy because I'm not sure I've quite mastered the art of drawing beards
so if anyone out there has any tips on drawing a cartoon beard let me know I
tried to like search things on Instagram but nothing was coming up and most of
the things coming up were girls so yeah that's something I definitely
need to work on but I really enjoyed doing that so yeah if you enjoyed this
