- Hey, I'm Kyra.
- Hey, I'm Stephanie.
- I'm Brent.
- My name is Jason.
- What are we doing today, I have no idea.
- Well, today we are doing something
that you in the comments have been asking for
for a while.
- End the show?
- Today, we are going to be drawing each other.
(gasps)
- Wow!
- I was wondering if this
would happen. - Oh my god.
- Ah. (laughs) - No!
(upbeat music)
- All right, Kevin.
- All right, Jackie.
- Should I draw you cute or should I draw you old?
- You draw me however you wanna draw me, okay?
How should I draw you?
- Draw me in your style.
- My style is just me.
- Okay, draw me in your style,
but improve upon it so that
it doesn't look like you. - So, it doesn't look like me?
That's a tall order, Jackie,
but I will try my best.
- What does Brent look like? - Oh, Jason.
What does Jason look like?
- I think I'm just gonna draw you looking down,
'cause that' how I remember you
(laughs) from working on this show.
- You got a big smile, actually you've got
more features than I do, I feel like.
- Have you done caricatures or portraits before?
- I've always had a hard time with it,
'cause people are like, "Make me look real,
"like, don't be afraid to make me look ugly"
and I'm like, stop, what if you get upset?
What if I don't do you justice?
- This is not.
- [Kevin] This is hard.
- This is hard.
- Yeah.
- I feel like I should go with the cute route.
I don't think I should try to draw you realistically.
- Yeah.
- Wait, smile, Jason.
(laughs)
- There you go, yeah.
That's the Jason smile I know. - [Jason] Oh my god.
- I think it's really hard to draw people that you know,
because you don't want to offend them.
Even if you're like, no, this actually looks good
or accurate, you're worried that they might be like,
"Is that really what you think I look like?" (laughs)
(sighs)
- I'm struggling.
Was this a bad idea?
- It was a bad idea, I think.
- Oh boy.
- But, we've already committed.
- We're doing it.
- We can't stop.
- We're doing it.
- You have chest hair?
- I do not.
- Think I need to see.
I think you need to take off your shirt.
- I need to take off my shirt?
- There's no way other way I'm gonna know.
- This will feed into the other comments
that think we're in a relationship.
- What? (laughs)
People think that?
- I've seen a few of them. - No, I ship it.
- And I showed my wife, I'm like, "Look at this"
and she's just like, "Tell the comment section
you are married."
- You are married. (laughs)
You are a married man.
- Kevin.
- Jackie.
- Not a lot of hair.
- That was mean.
Why would you say that?
- You do, just not from the front.
(sighs)
I'm seeing you in a bright light.
- I know, look, I know.
I know I have a huge forehead, so
have fun with it. - Is that why?
- Have fun with it.
- I have a friend that recently got married
and I've been trying to draw a portrait
of him and his wife.
And I've got every, like,
I've got the bodies figured out,
I've got everything figured out
except for the faces.
I just have not been able to - It's the hardest part.
- get the faces down at all.
- I know, I always just end up
making people just cartoons.
- I'm just like, this is your new face.
- This is actually kind of my nightmare,
because - Okay.
- I am not good at likenesses.
Here's how bad at caricatures I am,
I actually have a site, badcaricatures.com,
where people can go and pay me $5
to draw a terrible caricature of them.
I will send them the terrible caricature
and a written apology.
- You know what, Kevin, there's nothing wrong with that.
You know what you're good at.
- I know what I'm not good at,
which is caricatures.
- Did you have that middle school sketchbook
that's just full of beautifully rendered eyes?
(laughs)
- I did a lot of hands when I was a kid.
I did a lot of epic poses with people with fists,
you know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, that's a fun way to learn figure drawing
is to do comic characters.
- Yeah, so I drew like, this is funny,
'cause my friends would be like,
"Jason can draw anything with muscles."
- Yeah. (laughs)
To boys and their muscle drawings.
- Yeah, so everyone would be ripped.
- The big tip that kinda changed
the way that I drew as a kid
was draw what you see.
Don't rely on symbols and, kind of,
your assumption of what something looks like.
Actually take time to look at your subject,
at the face, at the features,
process them as if you've never seen it before.
- I'm gonna draw you holding a pen,
'cause it will signal that you are an artist,
and this is the portrait of an artist.
- The whole thing that I've always heard
is learn the fundamentals before you break them.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Because I feel like, yeah, a lot of people
are like, "Oh, well you're just drawing
"super cartoony, so you can probably
"just not need to learn how to draw realistically."
It likes, no, you should, because
even within the most simple cartoons,
there's intelligent decision making
and correct anatomy and proportions.
You know, even if it looks really obscure,
it's still like you can tell that the person
who drew it knows how to draw.
(upbeat music)
(laughs)
- How scary. - We just look up at each
other and we're just looking at each other.
- We're like, what are you?
- We're just like, what do you look like?
- What do you look like?
I look at you every time - What do you look like?
- we do this and I still don't know.
- What do you look like, Jackie.
- If you had to assign a celebrity to me,
what celebrity will I be? - Celebrity?
- I always struggle with this.
- What's the guy from 500 Days of Summer?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt. - Joseph Gordon-Levitt?
- I assign him.
- He's got kind of a very specific face, I feel like.
- What celebrity would you assign me?
- Idris Elba.
- Idris, ooh, dang it! - No, I'm just kidding.
- Don't take it back!
- Don't take it back. - I want it! (laughs)
- No. - [Kevin] What?
- What am I doing to you?
You look so weird.
I'm gonna draw your head a little more bulbous.
- Yeah, I do have a bulbous head.
- You've got a lot of veins.
- I do have a lot of veins. (laughs)
- (sighs) sorry, this just doesn't look like you.
- This doesn't look like you, either.
What do we do?
- We continue.
- We keep going.
- You know what this is probably gonna lead to?
- What?
- A lot of message in my inbox
being like, "Hey, can you draw me for free?"
- Oh no. (laughs)
- You do a lot of caricature?
- So, I've been practicing by drawing friends
on my Insta here and there,
and it's been really good for capturing
the essence of...
- Somebody, yeah.
- Of somebody, yeah.
And it's best been like really awesome to work on.
- I'm drawing you like a Bratz doll.
This is not good.
- Okay, I'm gonna keep this drawing
on the side so you can see what I started with,
but I'm going to go back, I'm gonna go cute.
- I'm gonna try again, and I think I'm gonna go full chibi.
- Full chibi?
- Yeah, which again, is not my style,
but I think I may be able to do something more?
- Kinda make you sort of look like Belle
from Beauty and the Beast.
- Ooh. (laughs)
I do like that.
- You have weird eyebrows.
- Thanks, Jackie.
- Not weird like physically, just weird to draw.
They're an interesting shape, if you will.
You know what they call your eyes, Kevin?
- What?
- Deep-set.
- Really?
I've been told they bug out.
- Deep-set.
- (laughs) That's not a thing.
- I don't wanna toot my own horn,
I think I might've nailed you.
I think I got it. - Oh okay.
- If you're 95% smile, I think (laughs)
you're pretty much there drawing Jason.
- I think I nailed you as, like, male model Brent.
- Whoa, wait, so just normal Brent.
- Yeah, I just drew you as your normal self.
- Yeah, thanks.
- How you doing, Jackie?
- I mean, I'm done.
- I know you are.
- But, I'm trying to make this other one
I made of you even scarier.
(laughs)
- How do you think you did?
- I think I made you look cute.
- Oh good.
- Yeah, you're like a Disney character, honestly.
- Oh, I'm so excited to see it.
- It's very cute.
How about with me?
- I really enjoyed doing this.
I haven't done a portrait in this style in a while
and it's really nice.
It's kind of like anime that's trying to be realistic,
like Whisper of the Heart kind of style.
- You seem stressed, Kevin, you seem stressed.
- This was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.
- Yeah, you came in thinking it was gonna
be easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
- Yeah.
- When it was actually harty warty, Kevin farty.
- Well, can I be real for a second?
- Okay.
- It's because I respect you - Aw!
- as an artist, and I don't want to disappoint you.
- I'm gonna cry.
- Stop it.
- I mean, from disappointment.
- Oh. (laughs)
- Got him, he thought I was mushy.
- You got me.
(upbeat music)
- (gasps) Oh my god! - Oh! (laughs)
- That's so cute!
- You made me so cute!
- (gasps) Wow! - Wow!
- You really got it!
- Wow, this is me, I love this!
- Aw, thanks, man, I love this, too.
- Aw!
Kevin, this is really good!
- Stop it.
- Kevin.
- You're just being nice.
Your anime is getting great-ime.
(laughs)
- Aw, it's so cool, that's such a cool style.
- Thank you, I love your style, too,
it's like super expressive.
- Thank you.
- This looks like TV father Jason.
- TV father Jason.
- Yeah, if I had a TV show
and I was, like, the dad everyone loved.
- These are great, I'm flattered by both of them.
I will say the one on the left, though,
is frightening as hell.
- It's scary, right?
- It's very scary. - I'm very sorry.
- This is a really smart exercise, I feel like,
especially like, you know, if you can't really
do life drawing classes or anything.
You can just grab your friend and be like,
sit down, I'm gonna draw you.
- Yeah, or have a fun drawing session like this.
I love when you can just invite people over
and just everybody can just do art together.
- I think this looks like me.
- Aw, you did a good job, Kevin.
- Thank you.
- I love it, and you know what?
Get rid of your website, 'cause you have drawn
a good caricature.
(upbeat music)
- Thanks, friend.
- I wanna give you a hug.
- Oh, thank you.
- Let's hug it out, man.
Just come here. - Let's hug it out, yeah.
- [Brent] Come here, man. - [Jason] Thank you, man.
Thank you.
- [Brent] I love you, man.
