I came across this book. A few thoughts ran through my mind: like how
does it work? does it work?
and is it any fun?
so that's what we're going to find
out today!
♪
apparently it's a lot like a paint by number this one specifically
comes with all the stickers that you need to recreate these famous paintings
so basically each art comes with a page with perforations that you can pull out
and then there's little spaces with a code in them and that code relates
directly to one
specific
sticker
I'm kind of interested to see how it goes and
like what they'll actually look like
let's try it out--oh! and then I kind of
am tempted since the odds of me actually doing all of these it's pretty
slim but I thought it'd be kind of
interesting to try and take the leftover stickers and kind of create my own art
in that cool like vectorized style so like if I need a purple all look through
here find a purple
yeah let's see how that goes
I really want to do the wave
you know what? go big or go home
all right stickers!
so following these instructions we'll start with the 'a'
category although actually it might be more smart to start top left of the
artwork because it's gonna be easier to find them in the sticker book than they are
on here so yeah yeah okay so first one we need is a F 17 whoo it's our
first sticker okay f 17
boom
right there use my dull x-acto knife - gotcha!
here we have F 17
and this goes right here oh this is this is unlike anything I've
ever trained for
you gotta like line it up - I think I got it - okay next one we need is b1 oh
I did a really good job that time definitely having a little tool of some
kind is necessary I don't know how I would do this with just my fingers hey
that's looking really cool
something a little annoying that I noticed is you can
actually see through some of the stickers and still see the little
reference number through it
it's a little disappointing ooh this one I'm
not sure well how do you? -- whats the shape here?
okay I think I got it I'm
[dull knife tearing through perforated paper]
just pulling these out now I can't-the book is actually more annoying than I
thought it would be
sometimes it's a bit like a puzzle even though you know which
piece you're supposed to use you got to figure out how to fit it in the shape
here's our vitamin b12 piece
ooh that one is so purple!?
[finger paper farts]
[more finger paper farts]
this isn't actually as
tedious as I thought it would be to be honest I think it's maybe because I'm
coming at this from an artist standpoint and I'm very interested in what colors
are used to where
hopefully these follow like the original painting pretty well
it very much feels like I'm studying from the artists and their use of color
I'm finding it very fascinating
this definitely simplifies the colors and all
their placements simplifying it for me making it easier to comprehend
trying to
like figure out how they're organized by like category cuz like 'D's' look like
they're like the pale greeny blues but then like this one has this like weird
poop green so it's it's hard to say
if you ever have to repeal a sticker
it gets way more difficult to line them up when they're all curvy
I've decided I
want to finish all of this page so I started doing them randomly this is my
last 'e' and it is 'e 13' boom baby!
imagine if you had to do this without the codes
it's just a puzzle with blank solid colored pieces in all these funny shapes
some of them do want to peel up I've noticed
[and another finger paper fart]
I'm about to finish a page!! 'f16'
right...
here! ooo ooo ooo!
[finger paper fart (i don't know how else to describe this sound)]
I freaking love the way that looks Oh !
'c3' that's my favorite buttons to
click on a vending machine in case you are interested in that information
Hey finished another page! I love when there's just a section missing inside of like a
larger section that's already filled in and I could just perfectly fill that in
ah! so satisfying
I17, I17! last piece! I'm a little hysterical
[humming a victory song to herself]
here we go! let's not mess this up
boom boom oh wow I can tell you right
now this is definitely not for everyone but look how cool it's one of those fun
like tedious projects that can take up time and I can tell you right now that
if I wasn't filming this I probably would have done it in spurts so like do
one section at a time I think that would be a good way to approach this
without getting overwhelmed or sitting here for three hours trying to
do it so what I thought would be fun next is to go through and maybe use some
of these leftover stickers - (oh some of those are really small) - and try and like create
my own drawing and then grab the stickers and stick them together and
create something entirely new instead of following along with the little
paint-by-numbers yeah let's let's try that out
I'm just looking at some of the
colors I have available
not sure how I'll be able to do the face in all
honesty maybe we'll keep the eye closed I wonder if that might be easier to do
with the stickers - most of these details will probably not show through because
we are simplifying it so much with the stickers I should have a vague idea of
where I want like lighter values and darker values when it comes to placing
the stickers- I wanted to give them some kind of hat so that I can like make this
section a contrasting color
figure this out
it's gonna be like a ponytail
or something then maybe some flowers these I'm not gonna worry about the
shape too much because I think the stickers that I use are going to be a
pretty good sign of what those flowers end up looking like maybe this will be a
different color and the rest of this dress and then maybe something like that
I'm kind of excited!!
grabbing the stickers
maybe we can use this purple for the dress
cut this one out so I think I decided on this for the dress where do I
want it to be darker maybe this section and then maybe this can all be a kind of
darker color and then up like that so this will be like where the shading is
and this be a bit lighter it's a little hard to tell
this one looks darker to me so we can start with something like this and just
actually kind of want that here
plop it in
and the cool thing is that I'm not
following a specific template so I can like layer them on top of each other to
my heart's delight
I can make it fit the shapes I need it to - i'm gonna use all the
ones from this 'C' category see if that helps things look a little bit more
cohesive well
look how well this fit perfectly into that shape - then fill in this
poofy bit
oo this one might work
we'll come back to that section I might
have to cut something to fit there - I need something to put right here, let's try
this guy '822'
ooh so close, let me just grab a purple pen and fill that in
hehe
[whispering] no one will ever know
[still whispering] and you won't tell anyone!
grab some scissors
[snip]
fill in some of those sections - I wonder if I can
cut these
mm
that way I can like move it and fit specifically into the shape I want
and that way I can actually cut this and peel that piece up - we can also
use this purple to kind of shade underneath the Hat
I need to cut this one
it extends a liiitle too far
I might do that more often I like that
because it makes the shape more unique
okay now what I really need is a lighter
purple so I can use any- there's only a couple where I wanted to start getting
a lighter I'm gonna have to probably look for a new color because these are
just all too similar I don't want to fill the whole dress in with these - I want it to be still
purpley but like not the same purple you know what I'm-like
maybe blue we can use the yellows for the this thing like a tie - i don't know what its called
we can use some of these teeny-tiny pieces to fill in my teeny tiny spaces
can use these
little brown ones for like the wrinkles use a couple more of these darker Browns
perfect we can use this for the eyebrows it work really well wouldn't it?
the hair is a
little trickier than some of the other sections were in my opinion I'm gonna
fill in this curl
looks pretty good for the hair I'd say
okay let's find some
more pinky ones I don't understand I thought there was that whole pink dress [painting] well we
got all these tiny little bits and bobs what are these?
these little guys
those will be really good when I start adding more detail to the face here's a
pink one
I want something for like the nose I want to give it some color
use this one like right here now that I've used these more pinky ones for the
nose I think I need to go more pink on this cheek too
this one I feel like would
work perfect underneath the eye
[silent face creation]
the face is definitely the trickiest part
let's find some darker colors
not sure where to put this
this would work good for shading the face right here
[the sound of concentration.]
not crazy about the way
the face is looking I feel like there's too many tones I'm gonna try to use
mostly the same color for maybe the rest of it and might be able to pull it together
if we just using these big pieces blopping it on somewhere cuz I
also want to like take into account the vertices of the face (the vertices) the
vertices, I don't know
see I really like the neck see how few shapes I have in
there and they just look like you know a neck
I wonder if I can like it redeem the face taking what I've learned her from
the neck I mean it ended up being just the fewer shapes you use the better it
looks but you still need to capture the right shape of the face
okay we need
something nice a pink for the lips we have this red
try and stick this right here
see if I can find something to fill in this section and then find another
lip piece
getting better at this
I think that's the best I'm gonna be able do for
the ear, limitations of the art supply I guess
these Purple's are actually darker
than this purple so I might actually go in and fill this in with that light
purple though we had before and then kind of fill in some of these sections
with this darker purple definitely a learning process definitely a lot of
trial and error, definitely like the larger flat sections the best
still need to do her
bottom lip
find another red one
now I probably can use these purples for the eye lash find one that's
like skinny to begin with and then cut it
[deep concentration aka silence]
I think I'm just gonna end up putting
this on top of the flowers- oh shoot that ripped
[trying her best not to screw this up or make it look like a baby barfed vegetables all over it]
I've done a majority of this
I still need to finish up this dress part add some flowers and then
potentially a background as well and see wherever those blue ones here's my
flower there's not really a whole lot of contrast
I'm very limited in my number of blue so I gotta be pretty careful
I think I've used just about all the Blues
I just need a few more blue from
here if I hadn't use them for flowers...
let's see
hehe, found one!
[finger paper fart reprise]
wait what's this? oh no there's nothing there... is there? wait?
aha!!! found a big one
try and erase some of these pencil lines I don't need
honestly if I'm going to be completely honest it turned out significantly
better than I could have dreamed of I pictured this being a complete mess
honestly you can kind of tell what you're looking at
the flowers is a bit of a failure
maybe if I grabbed some of these like red ones add them to the center of
this it definitely needs a background
tada!
so here's me painting (i guess its not painting
with stickers) drawing with stickers? creating art with stickers? painting with
stickers? I dunno
we'll see what happens
here is the first one I made, we got our wave
'the great wave' then we have my own sticker art concoction but I want to
thank you guys for watching I'll see you guys all next week and I hope you have a
delicious evening full of waffles!!!
byee!!!
