Hey guys! So I am back with a new video and this the
colouring part to the collaboration that I have with LemiaCrescent or Lemi here on YouTube.
To briefly explain what this collaboration is all about, we did a lineart each of the
evil step sisters Anastasia and Drizella from the movie Cinderella, then we swapped the
lineart for the other to colour. So Lemi will be colouring my lineart of Drizella
which you guys might have seen in my previous video, then I will be colouring Lemi’s lineart
of Anastasia in this video. The links to Lemi’s lineart video and my
lineart video are in the description box if you guys want to check it out!
Anyway, in this video, I’m just going to talk about myself or introduce myself since
I didn’t get to do that in the first video. So, to anyone who’s coming from Lemi’s
channel: Hi! My name is Zyra and this is my art channel.
This is honestly the first time I’m introducing myself in this channel, so this might sound
awkward, but I make videos as you can already tell from this video itself.
My channel is actually more focused on fashion illustration since I have been in love with
the style ever since I was 12 years old. And aside from fashion illustration videos and
timelapse videos, I also make tutorials and I think that’s it to be honest.
I have had this channel since 2008, but uploaded my very first video in 2010 and I think it
was in 2013 when I started to take YouTube seriously.
I started uploading videos twice a month, and recently I’ve been trying to upload
one video each week, usually on a Sunday, Australian time.
I am from Australia, but without the accent since I was born in the Philippines and raised
there as well until I was 13. I am 19 as of now by the way, which a lot
of people tend to ask, it’s probably my most asked question.
But anyway, if you want to know more about me, feel free to open the description box
below where I have my FAQ or frequently asked questions, all answered, and I also have links
to my Q&A videos where I talk about myself and about school since I also get asked where
I study and what I study. To briefly sum it up, I am studying architecture,
going into my second year of university this coming March, and it might surprise some of
you or most of you guys as I tend to have people assume that I am either a professional
fashion designer or a fashion design student. Maybe I should have a disclaimer on every
single video that I’m not a fashion designer. But anyway, you might be wondering why I make
a lot of fashion illustration videos and yet I’m not studying fashion design.
The reason behind that is answered in my Q&A video, but to sum it up, I’ve been doing
this channel for years now and I started with fashion illustration, therefore I’m guessing
people stayed for the fashion illustration. I mean, I love doing these kind of videos
and since people tend to enjoy them, I am continuing to do fashion illustrations, but
I will try to branch out in the future as I’ve started uploading my artworks that
are not fashion illustrations.
And that’s pretty much my introduction,
I hope you guys stay for more videos to come. In my videos, I share my design process from
either sourcing inspiration, to sketching, then the final illustration. So if you want
to see those kind of videos you can mostly see them in my Disney Princess Inspired collection.
I have a playlist in my channel if you want to check it out!
And yeah!
For the collaboration, I had such a fun time
colouring Lemi’s lineart. It was kind of like colouring in a colouring
book because it wasn’t my lineart and so the style was of course different and I haven’t
coloured other people’s works in forever. I don’t even remember if I had colouring
books when I was a child. Yeah, but this was really fun. I also love
the expression on Anastasia’s face and when I saw it, it made me really want to learn
how to draw different facial expressions, because when I do them, they look awkward.
So, that’s something that I need to improve upon in the future, but I guess with fashion
illustration, it’s kind of limited with facial expressions, especially when you’re
aiming for a high end fashion pose where it’s always just a blank face.
And I already mentioned how I love her composition of her lineart. I love that she was sitting
down instead of standing up and the piece of fabric in her hand with the bloody knife,
and also the bigger foot to emphasise that she cut off her toes to be able to fit into
the glass slipper. I love it so much and I just want to say that
I really enjoyed this collaboration with Lemi. And Lemi, if you’re watching this, I just
want to thank you for asking me to do a collaboration, and you did such an amazing job with the lineart
and the colouring. I really aspire to have the same depth in
the way you think about your compositions, and for one day to develop my style as well
the way that you have.
And yeah!
So, with that, I will end the narration here
