What I'm looking at right now is exciting!
I have a plan for today's video...
Literally, put it together here -
Are you ready for an adventure?
Let's go, hop in the screen.
[airplane sound overhead]
Is that like a fleet of people coming?
Alright, the timing of that -
Very crazy. Very crazy.
So I planned something in this fancy book here.
It's just my sketchbook.
[music]
[obnoxious clacking noises]
Let's draw on some wood with Posca Pens now!
[music]
There's a few of these that have burnt out.
But I honestly I I can't remember which ones
so I'll just roll with it and hope for the best because
This is what we have
So this is our plan -
We've got an eye. It's not centered on the wood
but you get the gist...
It's gonna be more of a galaxy kind of eye, okay?
All right, I'm gonna edge this in gold.
I should probably sand this but don't judge me I'm not going to.
What a strange gold! It's like silver.
This looks gold to you, right?
Am I crazy or does this look silver?
I also really need to sand the edges of this -
[deeper mysterious voice of Miranda in the recent past]: I should probably sand this but don't judge me.
I'm not going to.
[whisper] I'm gonna go find sandpaper, I can't do this.
What are the odds? This was literally in the first place I looked.
Guys don't follow this in the order that I'm doing it.
It's really late at night and I just got inspired.
And I don't always follow directions or like rules with art, I just do what I want.
Hence, my mistakes right here!
Okay.
I sanded this because I was stupid and
Just kind of went for it.
We kind of need sanded wood. So. Let's just do that, okay?
Let's just go back now...
Okay, the edges are gold.
I did touch it up with this gold leaf marker because it is
by far my favorite gold leafing marker.
It just works better than
any other ones that I've tried. So yeah, touched it up.
Now let's draw our eye...
[music]
This little booger is quite reflective.
Well, not for long, buddy.
Let's do the skin.
I was kind of wondering how this would behave on wood
to be honest and I think it's behaving really well.
It's really bright,
it's still soaking in.
This is beautiful.
[music]
First section: done.
The second section - just gonna start coloring...
I hope what's going on in my mind really translates
to this piece of wood.
[music]
All right, most of this is blocked out.
Let's do that little gradient thing that I like to do.
I hope it works okay on wood.
[music]
It's getting there and we have some work to do though.
*some work*
Art problems.
So, question of the day:
What is your favorite art supply of 2020 so far?
I would say mine is acrylic paint.
I've been doing a lot of paintings with my husband
for just little date nights and stuff.
It's been really fun.
In all honesty. I'm not sure about this gradient effect.
It is not turning out quite as I had hoped.
But I mean, hey, we can doctor it up some, right?
This might just be the icky part of our process -
It's okay.
[music]
We've got white Posca Pens now...
Let's do the whites of the eyes.
Oh, would you look at that coverage? I'm all about this!
[music]
Maybe do some of this pink here -
What is happening with my voice?
So, the grain of the wood is a bit interesting -
It bleeds
with the grain.
So there's gonna be a lot of sideways bleeding.
Hey - art experiments:
Gotta love 'em.
This is that moment when you realize,
maybe Jesso-ing your board was a good idea after all.
[music]
Are you ready for the mid video game?
I have a marker behind my back -
You guys have to guess what color it is.
So pause the video, guess the color -
And if you get it right,
well, the only thing I can give you through the comments
is a gold star emoji.
So I'll comment that if you get it right.
Alright, ready? Pause the video, go guess it!

*BOOM!*
PINK anybody who said pink gets a gold star
in the comments unless this video like
explodes and then there's like tons of comments
saying pink then I guess you guys defeat me and win?
Alright should we do that moon, or what?
[music]
Starting to bring out that galaxy feel.
I don't want the moon to be too bright, though.
[marker scritches]
[music]
This is looking like a mess right now, I'm very aware of that.
But have some faith -
We'll get it looking good. It'll be okay.
I decided to switch up the shading
on this eyelid just to make this go with the curve.
[music]
So I have this idea forming I might change things up quite a bit on this -
With this part down here.
So that'll come soon.
[music]
This is a great spot to introduce what we're gonna do:
[music]
Now the beauty of Posca Pens if you make mistakes
you can go back and change it!
[music]
Just trying to do these eyelashes -
this part really makes me nervous, honestly.
But we'll go for it. We'll go for it. It's all good.
[music]
Alright, hey, things went smoothly! That's good.
Let's take this, and -
do some more shaping out here...
I went through a phase where I did not like this for a little bit,
but after I switched this down here -
It really changed things so now, I'm going to...
We'll see?
My big plan is about to be revealed with what I'm doing with this:
Are you ready? Okay.
So you guys want to know what actually inspired this?
Because it's not..
Anywhere near related to this, but a cityscape.
I've been looking at a lot of
cityscapes from my own city and it kind of inspired this -
So hopefully you like it!
[music]
Look at my sketch book page where I've been wiping my markers to clean them.
[music]
It's the next day and we finished this painting!
I thought it would be really fun to do like the galaxy crying out of this eye.
It just seemed pretty
abstract kind of
weird.
But, as I said some cityscapes inspired this from my own city.
I don't know why but yeah, the gold is also pretty reflective now that I added the gold leaf marker to it.
I really enjoyed this. I actually really love painting on wood, so it's no surprise that
Posca Pens on wood are equally as fun. And this was how I planned it:
This messy page and we have a fun painting now.
Alright. Thank you guys so much for watching!
This was so fun to make I really, really enjoyed this!
Drawing on wood is like really fun.
I mean, that's no surprise, because I love painting on wood.
So, this was equally as fun, I would say.
Let me know if you guys have ever done this before in the comments.
And yeah, I hope you enjoyed it -
Thank you so much for watching and
have a good day!
Good
