What do you draw when you only pick pastel colors?
I went through my markers and picked out all the pastel colors.
We're gonna draw with only these today.
Can I push these up?
By the way, this is gonna be a goody because we are doing 2 art projects today.
Okay, let's do let's do like a fall Anorak jacket, that's what we're gonna do. Should we make her kind of awkward?
Maybe looking over like hey you've got me out in public
I guess I guess I'll wave. You guys ever get caught in those awkward
Situations? Mm-hmm. It's always the day that you're dressed like a slob and
you've run into like everybody in public. Wouldn't it be fun to have like a dog with her like some big old goofy dog?
Have these fineliners
giving her a slightly frizzy hair
style like it's uh who needs a bad hair day
She just kind of woke up started walking her dog
mm-hmm, not quite the mouth that I was hoping for but uh
Sometimes you gotta roll with it some details on the jacket. It's like an Anorak jacket kind of.
The fun part about this drawing is I
Purposely, did a fall outfit?
Even though I'm challenging myself with pastel colors.
I just thought it would be a fun little
way to go about a drawing.
Unexpected color scheme.
The style is very different. Every time I use fineliners it alters my style a little bit.
Which just another little plug-in, I've been talking about this for a while. I am releasing digital coloring book pages
the first week of October
along with enamel pins,
stickers,
Tons of original artwork and whatnot.
So for those of you who have been asking me about
like hey Mira, why is there nothing in your shop really right now?
It's just because I'm waitin. So, yeah time is coming man.
I'm excited.
She has an interesting a boot choice, some weird buckles and then some
laces
going like this up her leg.
Alrighty. I have the outfit down
Let's just thicken some lines here and there all right
So my options are pastel colors. Great. This uh,
Mm-hmm. It's gonna be difficult. What's this orange look like?
Yeah Wow, yeah, maybe not orange hair what's this green look like? Yeah
I could use this for the coat. Yeah, let's do that
start with a coat.
I guess I need to shade the coat.
We can do purple
Right, okay her skin I'm gonna make her really pale because I think it'll pop really nicely
Against everything else.
The shading on this is gonna be flatter than normal just an FYI
Okay, let's do some
pastel blue jeans
Oooh, should we do a pink dog? Yes
Yes a pink dog.
I'll color the whole thing in light pink and then and some colors.
A bit on the legs
I'm gonna make this hind leg this bright pink color too. Why not? It's cute
Okay, her hair we need to do something with this hair.
Mmm, I kind of like this.
Do some bluish purple streaks up front
Make her bangs bluish purple too. Oh, yes, I like it
Shaded her bangs with this cool blue color. It actually looks pretty dark layered on top purple
So not completely pastel anymore. Something like that? Yeah, I
Think I'll shade the rest of her hair with pink. Gives it a fun vibe.
Give her some blue eyes. There we go
Hmm what about this sweater?
Oh! And her shoes. I kind of want to do purple shoes
With a bright yellow circle. Yeah. Okay. She's gonna wear a yellow
Shirt
What do you think? Pink stripes? Well, you can't change your mind now. I'm gonna shade her pants with this too- I really like it
Make things a little more uniform and shade the jacket too -
Yes. Oh
I like this
There we go. Hmm I think it's missing a little something
Let's give it some
Sha-Bang.
There we go. That's better. Maybe some white hems
here
Some White hems on the jeans
All right, she was only designed with pastel colors, what do you think guys?
Still passes for fall right? Maybe? Meh?
So let's ink this guy and then we'll do pastels on him too
doing all these little beard hairs.
This one would be a fun coloring book page.
Look at this beard so much hair
Beards are really fun to draw actually, I really enjoy it.
Whoo, look at that facial hair.
Reminds me of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets except it's not yeah, okay
We'll erase all of this pencil underneath and color this guy with some pastel. I
Can add this to his mustache, I guess I could be using this eraser but I'm in the mood to use this one. So.
First things first, let's figure out. Hey, whoops. Let's figure out his skin tone. He's gonna have mint colored skin
shading
All right, we're good. All right, so instead of doing a regular skin tone we are going complete
Pastel on this and he's gonna have mint colored skin because you know, what? Why not make life fun?
All right, let's do a little bit of shading now give him some darker eyelid, yeah
Hmm purple eyes. What do you think? Yeah. Let's try it
Since
We're doing all pastels here. I don't know. I'm debating on the pupils. I kind of like the thought of just like
Leaving the eyes like that, but I'm also tillering I don't know. Maybe I'll shade them a little bit though
Oof look at that look at that. It's kind of hard to get a nice light contrast but
Oops, I should do purple lips. That sounds fun. Let's do it
Yeah, you you can have some purple lips. It's going real cool
Now what do I want to do for the hair
You know, I'm really feeling pink like
Bright pink. Yes. Wait, what's this?
That's kind of
Boring grayish cherry. No, thank you. What's this Oh wicked
Yo, I could oh, yeah, super colors so bright it is sugared almond pink. I'm coloring all the hair this color and then
We will make adjustments later. But this is what I want
Wow, I like this this is so bold
Fluffy pink caterpillars above the eyes wiggly wiggly wiggly
So much pink so much beard
Would you look at that
Doing some beard to lower lip blending here. Yeah
Alright, alright. Alright. Alright, let's see. Do some of this. Yeah. Yeah right here a
Little bit of contrast
Okay
I think we should do some shading in the eyebrows just to balance life out a little bit
Hmm the ends of the beard could be like an orangey color
Or the mustache. Oh, yes. I
Like that. Hmm. Should I do that with the whole beard kind of looks fun? I
Am trying to only shade along the hair lines
Giving it a really cool effect
actually
Okay, now I have to decide
Do I shade with purple in the beard or darker pink? Hmm
Maybe I'll do both -oops not that end.
Purple time purple time
This is some fun contrast. I like it
Yeah, look at that
Hmm should I?
Shade the hair up here too at this purple
Pull some consistency through here. Oh, yeah
This blends like a dream
Darken some areas on his face some more. I just feel like he needs a little more
contrast in certain areas. Oh, look at how angry those eyes are
All right, I'm gonna highlight the hair a little bit
There we go, I think I want to add another pop of fun to this what should I do a
green outline
minty color
or yellow
No too much mint. Okay, green. No, I
Think that'll pop the most just one bold outline all around the edges
Just felt fitting to use this little Posca pen at the end, there we go.
I think we're done. Yeah. Well, that was fun
I did a simpler character and then more of a detailed one with only
pastel colors if you got this far at congratulations
