Hi! Hey guys, what's up? It's Rae here, welcome back to my channel. Now,
it has been a hot minute since I've last uploaded on my channel,
I think it's been about almost two weeks,
and as you guys know, those who follow my Art Instagram,
I took a trip to Orlando and I went to my very first YouTube convention.
*Pop music*
And I finally got to meet a bunch of my fellow art YouTubers,
I went to
Disney World for the first time with all my fellow art YouTubers, and I had so much fun and it was such a
recharging experience, you know.
*Burps* But anyway, right now, here on YouTube, if you were to type in the search bar "throwing a dart act," you would literally get
thousands upon thousands of results of
people throwing a dart at a map and flying to wherever it lands, or people throwing a dart at a picture and then buying whatever's
on the picture! And now here on YouTube as of today, we have somebody throwing a dart and letting it pick my art supplies.
But yeah, basically I'm going to get a dartboard, put all my options of the art supplies,
I'm going to throw the dart and wherever it lands closest to and or/on, that's the art supplies I'm gonna use, honey!
And now with the world's longest intro out of the way, let's go ahead and begin.
Hi. So at this point, I got everything set up, we're ready to go. I mean, given yesterday
I had tried to set up but I mean, it didn't work out that well.
So I just, I guess I just, so I guess I just -
Oh!
Oh my god.
I knew this was gonna happen. I knew this was gonna freakin happen. Oh my god.
So yeah, without further ado,
here's our first categories:
So the very first runner-up that I have for the medium is
uh, markers.
*imitates heavenly singing*
So we'll place that there.
The next medium, and this one's one that I'm gonna really try to like, you know,
try to aim for even though I've never played darts in my life, is charcoal. Of course. Yay, a Rae staple.
So that's gonna go up here...
And now finally the last one, which I feel like this one's not a surprise to anybody
because it's one that I have done many many times on my channel: colored pencil!
So here is the current set up. I feel like it's pretty even, I feel like everything's equally spaced out. Now
there's a thousand percent chance that I'm not gonna hit like literally any of these. So whichever one it lands closest to,
that'll be the one that I use. And by the way, why am I doing this literally right behind mirrored furniture, like this?
Should I use my left hand or my right hand? I guess because I'm left-handed, my left hand. Okay
sorry, we'll get to it now. One, two, three...
Oh!
God dang it. Okay. Ready? One, two, three.
Umm...
Yes, okay, yes!
I was trying to aim towards charcoal because that's one I haven't done in a long time on my channel,
and yeah, and luckily I was able to hit it so good job Rae!
So the first medium that we'll be using which is one I was trying to aim for, is charcoal.
Okay. So first things first will be the medium, and the medium that we chose will be a charcoal which is one of my favorite
mediums like I haven't done charcoal in such a long time on my channel so I'm really excited to do charcoal.
So guys, our choices for paper include, you know,
just regular everyday paper, like something like this.
We got toned gray paper
which you know, is one that I use often for pretty much anything and then we have the wild card which is
neon. Even though that doesn't look like it says neon, I can promise you it's neon.
So we got neon, we got toned gray paper,
and regular paper. So here's what we're currently at.
Okay, so uno, dos, tres...
I'm so bad at darts. Like this is amazing. So uno, dos, tres.
Oh shoot! That one was really good,
I have literally hit regular paper like, BAM! Now as far as what I consider just like regular drawing paper,
I have this sketch pad which I got on clearance, of course. You know me, I don't pay anything. And this is the Cor-i-noor...
Ko-I-noor...
Co-in-oor? Korry newer?
Regular heavy drawing paper and this is a total of $1.15,
it's just pure white and it does have a little bit of a texture, but generally it's really good paper.
So now that I know the style that I'm going to use, I know the paper that I'm gonna use,
the next thing will be like, what am I gonna draw? Is it gonna be something that's
alive or something that's not alive, like an inanimate object or something? Okay for this one, um...
Oh.
I'm not too sure which one that one's closer to. I'm assuming it's the not alive one, but I don't know.
Alright, so here's where we currently landed. It - looks like, let me see. Let me measure. Okay,
yeah, it looks like the not alive one is the winner.
So I guess I'm gonna draw something that's not alive!
Alright, so I'm going to draw something that is currently not alive.
So I think you guys know what I'm gonna pick. You know, I feel like a lot of us artists here on YouTube,
you know, we like to draw one thing specifically, you know what I mean?
Like a lot of the illustrators like to draw women, then there's ZHC and he likes to draw Venom,
You know, Robin likes to paint landscapes and then there's me,
I like to draw skeletons.
Now the reference that I'm gonna be using today is a reference that I took myself
when Chloe and I went to the Skeleton Museum in Orlando.
*Tour guide speaking, indistinct*
And that was a lot of fun, so I think I'm just gonna start off with that and then build up from there.
*Classical music*
Okay, so here's the current state of where we're at. Right now, I just have the bare bones of the drawing.
*crowd booing*
Heh heh heh heh.
From this point forward I could either take it into a realistic direction or an illustration direction. So, let's see.
And our choices are of course, my favorite, realism; we've got
illustration, and then lastly I put in a wild card and I'm not even too sure how this would go, but a mix of both.
Okay, so here's the current set up, let me move this one up a little bit more,
so here's the current set up, what we got going on. For this one I don't really have a preference at all
which one, so I think I'm gonna like do it blindfolded, that way you could just pick wherever and I don't have to aim, you know, so, um...
yeah, here we go.
That did not work out.
Let me try this hand instead. Okay, ready, one, two, three.
Both!
Okay, cool, both! Let's do this thing! Let's just work with both.
*imitates fanfare* Ba da da ba!
Now that I'm doing two styles, this pretty much changes everything. So basically I could do one of two things,
I could have one, made an illustration that was realistic or two, which is the one I'm gonna do, make an illustration
AND a realism and just combine it in one piece.
So I'm adding some picked flowers because that kind of adds to the "once was alive,
but now is dead" kind of theme and
plus, I think it'll look so cool to have this really creepy imagery right next to like, some really pretty bright flowers.
Ah! So sick.
*Background music*
And here is the 3D element that I added. Did I just say 3D? I meant illustration. I'm rusty,
I haven't done this in a long time so I'm like, cuckoo! But anyway, here's a 3D element - oh my god,
I just did it again! Oh my gosh!
So here is the illustration element that I added. Now to be quite frank,
I'm not too sure exactly how this is gonna work out,
so I'm gonna have to be really careful with the charcoal from here down and make sure it does not smear anywhere near the flowers,
you know what I'm saying?
*Classical music*
Now, it has been a hot minute since I've done not only a charcoal drawing,
not only a realistic drawing but a speed drawing as well.
And whenever you do charcoal drawings,
it's honestly just putting down the charcoal, smearing it out, putting down the charcoal and blending it out.
It's very repetitive but I personally love it. And it's just, I love the depth I can get with charcoal,
I love how like, dark the colors can get and it's just... oh, it's one of my top favorite mediums.
*Music continues*
Okay, so here we go with the finished charcoal portion of the drawing and I am so happy with how it turned out,
I haven't done charcoal in such a long time on my channel and it feels so good to finally be doing it.
Now, this brings us to the next portion.
While I was drawing this I thought like, how cool would it be to add in a second medium for the flowers?
You know what I mean? That way I'm just like, not pure black all around. That way
I can have like, the bright colorful illustration flowers in the charcoal.
So yeah, let's go ahead and see what the second medium is gonna be.
Okay. So here's the current set-up for this one. This one's pretty much the closest to the thumbnail,
like I have the physical things on the dartboard, and I'm going to throw it at it.
So we have like the watercolor, we have the alcohol-based markers and colored pencils.
So yeah, let's uh, let's see which one we're gonna get. One, two, three.
Oh shoot!
What just fell? A pencil just fell. Okay, so watercolor it is and man, that's actually a really good shot. Look at that!
It's not ON the watercolor. Look at that! Wow.
Maybe I'm not so bad after all.
Now between you and me, I mean, I kind of wanted it to be markers,
but that's okay. I am up for a challenge and plus I have never mixed the medium of watercolor along with
charcoal, so I'm kind of curious to see how that's gonna go.
*Background music*
And for this, since I'm doing half illustration, half realism,
I'm not gonna like, go super crazy with adding a lot of details to the flowers because I want to have that harsh contrast of
realism right next to like, a cartoony kind of drawing, you know.
I think that'll look
SIIICK
*Music continues*
So here's the watercolor and this, my friends, is snatched. This is...
Super snatched!
That's the one thing I like about the vibe of the watercolor sheets,
they're just so vibrant, you know, but the true winner of this is the paper towel.
I feel like it's a better work of art than the actual artwork itself, like look at that. It's so pretty!
So yeah, at this point you think we'd be done but no, I have one last thing that I want to add
and that is my wild card.
So the wild cards include
adding a 3D element to my drawing,
the next one will be adding in some neon, just, I don't know
where, just adding in some kind of neon paint or neon colors, just adding some neon to it and then lastly adding some like,
watercolor or just acrylic or adding some kind of like paint drips or paint splatters or like, some kind of paint element to it.
I think that'd be really interesting. Okay, so, let's see which one's it gonna be! Okay, so here we go,
random wild card, one, two, three...
God, I suck so hard at darts. Like, this is embarrassing at this point. So one, two, three...
Umm, I don't know. It looks like it's like a perfect in-between between neon and paint drops.
Okay, yeah, so paint drops it is!
Alright, so let's get this party started. Let's just go ham with the paint drops.
Just keep adding water like so and it eventually it'll drop down.
Be gentle, steady, steady...
Next I think it'd be really cool to do some like, paint splatters all over this. I think I'd look really neat.
*taps paintbrushes together*
And just add a little bit more drips here, a little bit more drips there,
just to like, imply that there's a background to the skull to kind of just like, anchor it down.
Okay, you guys, so here is the final result and I am so happy with how this turned out!
I think it came out so well.
If you guys want to check out more of my artwork
you can see it on my Art Instagram,
and of course if you guys want to see more art videos, you guys know what to do.
And with that being said guys, thank you so much again for watching and I will see you next video. Bye!
