When I was at VidCon, I
went to this really cool store called the Art Warehouse, and I spent
way too
long in there and it showed up my bank statement, but I got something that's so cool
while I was there. So, we are gonna test it today. It is right under this desk
Dun, dun dun! The anticipation!
Alright, are you ready for this?
So this is a Hyacinth
sketchbook, I guess? Oh, it just says creative notebook. Pure creative notebook. I don't know if you can see that;
that's what it says. So we are just going to use this as a sketchbook, but this is what's cool about it
Are you ready for this?
Every
Single page is pink. Guys, this is a solid pink sketchbook. Dude!
What? What? What? So what we're gonna do is make some art with this little guy, see what we can do.
What happens when we draw on pink paper?
Okay, here we go. Look how cute and tiny this is, oh my goodness.
Look at the little pocket back here. How can he resist? I think it's so adorable and I love that it's all pink!
All right, I have a little reference photo.
I kind of want to channel some 90s vibes but we'll see. We're gonna draw a couple pictures with this anyway
It's all good. I
have to draw really tiny. Ooh, that's gonna be
interesting.
Wow! Since when do I draw eyebrows before the actual eyeballs?
Maybe I'm drawing something like 90s vibesy... you'll see soon because
It seems to be making a comeback right now.
A little button nose.
I'm gonna actually
do the lines on how the face anatomy should be.
I was trying to get away with not doing that but I kind of need to
You know, I don't like that. Ugh! First page sketchbook fears
always get me. I'm gonna have her looking to the side like that. Oh,
look at that little - what do you call that? Cat tail? Wing? Wings! I don't know why I said cat tail.
I don't know much about makeup, that's why. Have any of you guys heard of these sketchbooks before?
That's the question of the day. Hyacinth
sketchbooks. I don't think they're actually intended to be like...
sketchbooks, it just said - What? What did it say? "Pure creative
notebook". Hmm. I don't like those lips. Ooh, I am being a little heavy-handed for all this erasing.
Now you guys know how often I mess up.
I'm cool with you guys knowing that.
Her hairstyle is one that's kind of making a comeback
these days but if you were alive during the nineties, let me know if you ever rocked this.
I don't think I was ever brave enough to do this
To be quite honest
and I don't know if I would do it today either, but it's cute on other people, but not me.
So I'm drawing it. Living vicariously through
all the styles that I am NOT going to attempt
I need to give her brows! I almost forgot I took them away and then I never gave them back
Make her kind of sassy like 'What? What's going on? What's over there?' What is she looking at?
She's like, 'huh?'.
Okay. I'll make some parts of her hair a little darker and then maybe start bringing some color in
There we go. Let's see what color should I make her shirt?
Pink on pink
Actually that would be pretty. Ooh! Wait, what about this?
Mint. I think I want to do that. Okay, let's do it
Give her a mint colored t-shirt with some Posca pens. Oh, yeah, I
I have some other supplies I can use!
I'm dumping my art bag!
And it's not - nothing is coming out. What? What? That was VERY anti-climactic. I'm gonna make the whites of her eyes
like this
so it stands out a little bit.
And then I may actually
Darken her eyes a little -- Hmm... wait a second! A little striped background. Ooh!
Yes, give us a pop of color!
That stripe on the top is really large but we're gonna roll with it!
Ooh I have this gold
Spicka pen. I can make her hoops shiny, ooh
Yeah
Kind of hard to see but hey
It looks pretty cool in real life. Ooh, I could do like a little
Piece of eyeliner, too
You can really tell how little I know about makeup. I'm like 'a piece of eyeliner'. All the gurus out there shaking their head
I'm trying to decide, do I outline this whole thing now? I don't know. I kind of really like the blue outline.
I think I'll outline the rest in white though like around her so she kind of glows
Well, that kind of worked. It was actually really fun, I enjoyed that.
Do you see her eyeliner --eyeshadow? Whatever--
Glisten? Okay.
Let's do another picture
That was my first page. Oh, we had some bleeding
But I really don't think this is intended for like a heavy
sketching kind of sketchbook
Hmm, what to do for the next one?
I have this red pencil that I could use.
Wow, I started off drawing this very oddly
Some big eyes squishing her face.
Stylistic choice though I
Love doing like eyes that are kind of wide and far apart, you know and then like a squished face
I don't know, its really cute.
Oh I guess I don't have to draw her mouth because I covered it
Usually I do anything to avoid a hand in the picture and now I got out of drawing a mouth!
Ooh, I should do some shading
Right? I've been having like so much fun
stylizing
People lately. I don't know, just messing around with different
styles.
Its fall so she should be wearing fall colors, right? Yeah
Wow. This got crowded. Fall colors...
Maybe like some olive green. Let's see how that shows up on pink paper
Ooh! This isn't olive green. I accidentally grabbed a bright green
We shall roll with it
Ooh, ooh! I have an idea I wanna try this marker for the skin tone
Oh this is kind of pink.
We've already committed. I think this paper is too thin for me to
Do the watercolor thing?
Wow, that's really pink!
Oh, no. Bad idea. Okay. Doesn't work.
This is giving me fall vibes guys
Who here is excited for fall? I think I asked this my last video, too
But not a lot of people replied to that. Oh, my next question!
Who has started school already or is
Starting very soon. Let me know
It's interesting what like a pink background does to this I mean
The colors just stand out differently. Which is obvious. I mean, that's to be expected
But it's fun watching it especially
when you approach the page with a certain color and you're like, oh, how is that gonna react and
I'm purposely using like a bunch of different
mediums right now? Media - cuz I
Just think it's so fun
testing supplies on new surfaces and
Whatnot. So hopefully this inspires you guys to - I don't now try something different. I have a lot of
Testing art supplies videos coming up, actually. I bought a lot of stuff guys.
I just realized I need to do
Yellow centers for these daisies.
I guess you could interpret her as going straight into Spring
cuz the flowers - but I'm feeling Fall so I'm gonna stick with my story
So if I'm gonna give my honest thoughts on this sketchbook, I
really love the color. I think it's neat to color on a different
color of paper. I'm always up for that. I actually have like a lot of
Canson colored pencil paper that is different colors.
Something I don't like about this though, is the paper is really thin I guess because it was at
this art store that had like really high quality, cool stuff
I just thought maybe that this would be higher quality.
It was only like, I would say maybe three dollars for the sketchbook though - if that.
So you get what you pay for and it's really tiny. So like honestly
Get what you pay for
Yeah, I just wish that
the pages were thicker because like I did this zentangle
And it bled through
This bled through. You pretty much can't use ink in here at all, which is annoying. So here
the
Tombow markers bled through
Any wet media will bleed through. I guess if you're just using pencil, it's okay. I mean
Whatevs.
Other than that, I mean, I don't have many complaints. That's pretty much it cuz this is paper
What else would I need to say? It actually held up really well with that Posca pen. I mean I
thought if anything, that would have bled through
But it didn't bleed through that bad. That's pretty cool!
Hmm I wonder if this
Will be like a good highlight. Will it show up?
Yes, Arteza coming to save the day. Oh
this is so cute!
Okay, should I add anything?
I just want to use this Posca pen in celebration of fall
Oh!
No no no no no!
Oh no! What do I do?
I'm panicking
Okay, okay, okay
um.. um.. um...
Just gonna use this brush and spread this out. Oh my goodness
What just happened? What a closey. I guess this won't have a pink sketchbook paper background
We just straight-up had an accident. Oh my goodness. Good thing it didn't like land on her face. I would have been so upset
Whew! It was rescued! That was intense for a second there. Okay, there. It is finished, it is drying.
I'm not adding anything else because oh
That was intense
let me know if you like this and if you want to see more cuz we can totally make this into a series I
Did buy
multiple
sketchbooks
Okay, and if you want to keep your adventure rolling, here is a playlist like right where my hand is you should click
it and
You can binge lots of stuff on my channel
It'll be fun for both of us. I really cannot believe I spilled that marker on this and it didn't ruin the drawing
Whatever!
