* Hey guys, what's up? It's Rae here and welcome back to another TikTok art video.
You know, the app that we all downloaded
ironically a few months ago, slowly started getting into it and now we all have a crippling TikTok condition?
Now this video is going to be different from any other TikTok video that I've ever
filmed because one, I've actually found some really good Tik Talkers out there who I think give like, really good,
legitimate advice, and two, there's been an influx in the art community on TikTok recently.
There's been like, a lot of art challenges that I want to try out not just for the video,
but me, Rae Dizzle, as an artist. I want to try out.
So yeah, I love making TikTok videos,
it's a whole series. I will leave the playlist down below
and of course as always, if you are new here and you would like to

*Whoosh sound effect*
Okay, guys. Guys, guys, guys, guys. This Tik Talker that I'm about to show you, I have been
OBSESSED with his content,
and today, not only are we gonna be following not one of his art hacks,
but I found THREE that I really really want to try out.
I got a pro painting tip.
You know when you're painting with a flat brush and you get those beads on the edge?
Here's how you can prevent it: instead of wiping off the excess flat, wipe it off on the sides.
Now when you paint, it will be nice and smooth.
Alright, so now this next tip is how to get your black acrylic paint into super crisp clean,
sharp lines.
Pro tip time. Alright, so I'm gonna show you guys how I mix my paint to get extra bold black lines.
Okay, so Golden Liquid Acrylic Carbon Black, and add only one drop of FW black ink.
Crispy.
Yes, crispy indeed.
So crispy it is burnt.
Now for this next one,
I really want to do my best. And in fact, I even bought a specialty brush just for the occasion. Basically,
it's like a really thick brush that it won't go all crazy when I'm trying to do line work so I bought it!
And I also picked up some liquid acrylic and if you don't know what the difference is between regular acrylic and liquid acrylic,
it's basically the same pigment as this except liquid.
So it's a pretty simple explanation
but I personally have never used it before so, this will be a first.
It's all coming out!
I thought this was supposed to be a liquid acrylic! Come out!
Why aren't you coming out?
*PLEASE STAND BY*
Screw it. I'm just gonna pour it out.
Oh yeah.
I guess you could say I'm doing like a half recipe, because he had a LOT of acrylic and I don't want to have that much.
Got the ink!
Oh, oh, oh!
Okay, okay, okay. I made a mess. Oops!
Next I gotta mix it up, nice and smooth, like this.
Alright, so first we're gonna try out just normal, everyday acrylic, wipe it off on the sides, exact opposite of what he said to do.
*Violin music*
And this is just straight out of the bottle, as you can see.
As you guys can see, we definitely got a lot of beading, it's feathering out which is not cute.
And next we shall try the mixture.
Exactly how he said, wipe it from the side.
And now, let's see the difference.
*Gasps* Oh, shiz!
Wow.
Oh, I forgot to wipe on that one!
*Laughs*
I forgot to wipe it on the sides.
Ooh! Okay, so all of this down here, this is mixed with this acrylic stuff and there definitely is a difference,
I feel like the difference is kind of minor, but I think for a first-timer, this worked out really really great.
I'm very impressed with like, the fluidity of it,
I think that's very nice. And when you look from the side, there still is a little bit of beading,
but I mean, it's like, not bad compared to the original just dipped in the regular acrylic.
Franky, my man, boom. Bro, you got this!
Yes!
And you know, it's really cool that now that the TikTok art community is growing,
it's not just silly stuff, but there's like technical stuff, too.
And this next drawing challenge is really technical and I think it gets your brain moving,
I want to try it out just to like, improve my skill.
Here's an art challenge: take a picture of someone or yourself or something ,and cut it in half and try to draw the other side.
You can do it in your own style or you can try to match it as closely to the photo as possible.
Let's see how you do.
Bro. Bro, bro, bro, bro.
Now for this experiment,
I'm gonna use this picture of Angelina Jolie because I feel like she's pretty symmetrical,
and I feel like because this picture is so symmetrical, it'll really put everything to the test.
Here she comes!
Angie!
*Music*
Here's an art challenge: take a picture of someone or yourself or something, and cut it in half and try to draw the other side.
You can do it in your own style or you can try to match it as closely to the photo as possible.
Let's see how you do.
And this brings us to our last art hack from our dear Frankynines, and it's basically how to make your paint very vibrant, bold and smooth.
*Titanic music played badly on flute*
And I don't have the exact supplies that he has, but I do have a good quality acrylic paint and I do have a good quality Gesso.
Now, in the video he specifically said use a little bit of Gesso, not a lot.
So that's exactly what I'm going to do, is add a little bit of Gesso.
Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go. Here's normal with no Gesso, no art hack, just normal straight out of the thing.
*Violin music*
So that's what it looks like. I mean, you can see a little bit of streakiness, but nothing too bad, you know?
Nothing too dramatic. And here is with Gesso.
*Gasps* Ohh!
Oh my god, this is working incredible!
It's really made like, a huge difference in like, the flatness, how even it is, how opaque it is,
What is this witchcraft?
And no matter how many times I'm pulling over it, I'm still not getting like, a bunch of streakiness,
it's just flat and perfect and beautiful.
No, don't get on me. Don't get on me. Okay, hi guys, it's Rae -
I literally just said "don't get on me" and she like, gets on me.
For this last art hack, it's Thanksgiving at my mom's house
so I thought I would just film here.
And by the way, this art hack is more or less like a jokey kind of thing.
And basically it's like, alternatives to the Apple pencil so here we are.
*Comedy music*
*Music gets louder*
*Even louder*
*SUPER LOUD*
I love that so much and that's why I love TikTok,
it's just like the absurdity of it all just brings a light to my life.
Now first of all, I am not fancy and I do not have an iPad or an iPencil or anything like that,
but what I do have is a Google Chromebook that I got two years ago from a sponsored video. *Chuckles*
So instead of a stylus, could you use your finger? The answer is yes.
Could you use - oh, oh god.
Could you use a banana?
*Gasps* I can't believe - hey, that actually kind of worked!
Dude! What?
Heck yeah! Go bananas!
I don't have an orange, but I do have a lemon, which is very similar in texture.
It's actually working! Oh my gosh, it's working so good!
And lastly my neighbors don't have a cat, but I do have a fat dog so...
Okay, how we gonna do this? Okay, Izzy. Let me see your paw. Let me see your paw!
Wow!
Decent artist!
Okay, this - Bowie? Now, Bowie is the big boy so I'm gonna have to like, limber up for this one. Come here Bowie!
Okay! Okay, good job. That's a start. You're gonna get in so much trouble if your grandma comes home.
Let me see your foot, Bowie.
Ohh! She's doing it! She's an artist!
Wow! Good job!
Look at this artwork! Wow!
And with that being said guys, thank you so much again for watching. If you want to see more of my TikTok videos,
