Hey everyone! It's Inés and welcome back to Draw Curiosity! This is a slight Inés from
the future for the rest of this video because it's the second part to the previous video in
which I did a little tour of this sketchbook. However, whilst I was editing it I realised
that I made it a little bit too long, and decided just to turn it into 2 videos,
so if you haven't seen the previous, I would recommend watching it, or you could
watch this video, and if you enjoy it, then I'd also recommend watching the first one,
because there's no overlap between the two pop ups, the concepts are different,
I tried very hard to make the pop-ups completely different. So if you enjoy this one, you'll enjoy
the previous one, and if you enjoy the first part, I think you'll enjoy the second part.
Secondly, I wanted to say thank you so much for the really kind comments
on the previous video. I've read them,
and I found them really touch them, so thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Thirdly, my parents found a couple more pop-up cards since I asked them if they had any lying
around the house for the previous video, so I said I would include them in the introduction to
this one. So, here are a couple more creations that I made whilst growing up with my parents.
And finally, just a very quick refresher as to what this is all about, basically, during October
I wanted to take part in this challenge known as Inktober in order to get out of a small mental
health rut. But I took part in a slightly altered version. Traditionally, in Inktober, you're given
a daily prompt and you have to have to come up with some sort of drawing with it. In my case,
firstly, I wanted to take alternative prompts that were from smaller and lesser known creators,
and secondly, I didn't want to make a drawing, so instead, I was to make some sort of pop-up, or
paper craft, or interactive paper creation in some way, and preferably for them to all be unique,
and I think I did succeed in that. And then, finally, bonus points if I was able to make
it sciencey, because then I would have a little bit more to talk about when I made this video!
So, without further ado, let's just dive back in to where we left it off.
Number 16 was moths, and obviously I had to bring my PhD into this one. Now, the part in the centre
is supposed to be a resonant thorax, as most insects including moths and other lepidopterans
have indirect muscles that deform the thoracic cavity, which make the wings flap, and you’ll
also notice the wings are disproportionately small, and honestly this is because if I were to
make the wings to scale and also include the head and the abdomen, well, this model wouldn’t fit in
the notebook anymore after being folded up, and it wouldn't behave the way it does, but I still
wanted the wings to look pretty and for it to somehow represent what I was trying to show.
Number 17 was also Frogtober, CAT AND BUNNY. So I made a set of cosplay items
for this happy frog - so here we go, here's uh, cat ears and bunny ears!
Number 18 was CARDS. So I decided to make a Jack-in-the-Box.
The spring is a little bit less explosive than I had hoped for when I made it,
but there is still a locking mechanism and you kind of get the concept that I aiming for.
Number 19 was HALLUCINATIONS. Thinking of mind altering phenomena that could
possibly happen to snail, I basically remembered parasitised snails - so
here is a snail hallucinating an oversized parasitoid wasp.
Number 20 was FLY VENNATION PATTERN. Again, as a biologist who studied her PhD in this subject,
I tried to make this as accurate as possible. I actually remember I wrote a MATLAB program
back in the day that automatically detects fly vennation - so I basically made the string model
of a fruit fly’s wing! And I tried to encompass the whole variety of wing shapes across different
Drosophila species by allowing different ranges that the string can be moved across.
I'll say it was a very cute idea, it wasn't actually as obvious or practical
in practice, I think it would work much better if it were pinned on a
corkboard, but again, we're here for the concept, not the execution.
Number 21, this is a fun pop up one, was Labyrinth Laboratory. So here is a 3D pop up laboratory.
Now, I originally wanted to make a laboratory mouse maze, but then the skeleton I made for
this maze actually reminded me of the old chemistry lab from my... (high) school,
so I replicated it here. I also ran out of time, so there aren’t too many identifying features that
would make it look like a traditional lab rather than a classroom - but trust me, this is a lab!
And, nonetheless, I tried distracting from my shortcomings with a pun!
Number 22 was TEETH and FANGS - so I tried to think of a creepy animal,
and here is my rendition of a lamprey, with its circular mouth and teeth.
Number 23 was SLEEP. This one is so smooth! Now... here the eyes are awake, but, when they
go to sleep, they start dreaming. It’s a Venetian blind style of card - and I’ve always wanted to
make one of those cross fade style effects, and I'm actually so happy it worked out so well.
I'm so proud of this one, just look at it! You go to sleep and the eyes start dreaming!
Number 24 was SHAPESHIFTER - so I had this idea to make a shapeshifting origami beast. Again,
due to the time limit, it’s more of a concept than a perfect execution - but each arm can be switched
between two options, as well as the legs, the tail can flip in and out, and so can the head, which is
supposedly a dog and a chicken head. The jury is out as to whether it was very effective or not.
Number 25 was SOCIAL MEDIA. I wanted to make a piece that reminded me of different
filters and frames that photo editing apps use to edit and modify photos - so
here are three different ones with this character I cut out from a mask box.
And, also random self promo AGAIN to follow my instagram (@squeakcode!) if you’re so inclined.
Number 26 was WOVEN. This I believe is actually my only non-interactive piece that I’ve made.
I originally thought I could hide a secret message on the strips, and then reveal them
by pulling out the different card pieces, but in truth it actually ended up being woven too
tightly for that to be possible, which means it was well made, but not very interactive,
and also the pieces of card I cut out ended up being the perfect length for a tight fit.
This one here at the bottom was an attempt at making a three way weave and is meant to
look like superimposed cubes, but it didn't turn out too well and I ended up just giving
up halfway. But, I still think it looks pretty interesting, so, I will accept it.
Now, number 27 is actually a prompt that came from a friend of mine who
really liked the forbidden room one, and thought it would be fun if I tried
to make one with a venus fly trap eating a fly, and make some sort of escape room. I
had this idea to make a Venus fly trap pop up with a fly trying to narrowly escape its
closing jaws - and honestly, I think just about pulled it off quite well.
Number 28 was also another prompt that came from another friend, which was SHY.
So here is someone coming to visit a house, asking after someone - and as soon as they
enter asking after this person, the SHY person runs away through the backdoor.
Number 29 is DISTORTED. So here is a LONG LOOOONG SNAAAAAIL
Number 30 is "Dream Costume" - so here is a scruffy me and a done-up me,
although I’ll be completely honest, although I do dig this fictional outfit I've created for
myself and of course the pink hair, I wouldn’t necessarily say this is my DREAM costume, I
just wanted to make something that looked quite obviously different.
And last, but not least, is number 31! Which was... MITOCHONDRIA and TRICK OR TREATING.
So I decided to combine the two, and here’s a very cheeky mitochondria challenging you to a trick or
treat. If you acquiesce, and you give it some candy, all is good - in fact, the mitochondria
will gladly make ATP from the food you have given it - or as depicted with this daiso sticker,
an overjoyed duck eating a sweet dessert. On the other hand, if you reject its advances and say no,
then you get mitochondrial metabolic disease instead, as the duck is unable to access any
sugary treats and turn its sugar into ATP. It got dark, I know, what a way to end this video...
Anyway, and there you go, those are indeed all of the 32 pop-ups that I made during October,
I really hope you enjoyed this video, I'm guessing if you made it this far you probably did. It's
true that this is a slight deviation from what I normally make, but it is a Raw Curiosity, which
is usually a little bit off brand. Also lots of people think that Draw Curiosity is about drawing,
perhaps slightly more creative things than I usually make, so again, I don't think it's
entirely off brand, and ultimately, it's about things that draw my curiosity, and honestly,
this clearly did! So, hopefully you enjoyed it, the next video will be a more traditional one,
but if you liked this, maybe, MAYBE I'll do more of them,
because I had quite a lot of fun doing this. Anyway, I'm rambling on too much, so as ever,
thank you so much for my wonderful amazing patrnso on patreon for supporting my content!
And as always, thank you so much for watching me and I'll see you in the next one! Bye!
