HELLO EVERYBODY! today I have the November Scrawlrbox, let's open it up and see what's inside!
♪
looks a little beat up, hehe - let's see - oh that's cute
so they've started making their stickers a
little bit more exclusive this looks like it's a bunch of like ballpoint pen
scribbles - actually have - this is what they usually look like, looks like
this one is uh November exclusive - here we have the menu of items
at the top we have some - oh!these feels so funny - what is this? they feel kind of rubbery, these
are the Staedtler ergo soft 157 pencils - what is going on near the lead? they look like candy...hehe
we have a purple
turquoise and a pink! -
purple
turquoise
and pink
oh they're triangle-shaped I just noticed
oh there you go you can see this
way a little triangle so you don't roll away
that's kind of nifty.
next in the box there's some
ballpoint pens - in the same colors look at that, we have purple, this one's
more of a blue, and a pink - these are the Bic crystal 1.6 millimeter pen yeah
that's way bluer than the pencil yeah it's a pretty pink pen, so far it's
just like a bunch of doodle supplies there's a pen lid with the double clippy's...?
let's keep looking... see we have the pen tool hybrid white gel
pen, it's got a little rubber grip, I can draw over top of this - can you see? - that's how well it works on each
of these colors when it comes to white gel pens I think the best trick is to
just be very soft and to go over the spot a bunch of times and you can
usually get a pretty opaque line you see that and it even works on the pencil
works a little bit better on the pen though - click - oh jeez! oh it's so cool what is
the Koh-i-Noor graphite stick in 6b it's 10.5 millimeters, it's super
cold - let's see what it does - iso it's just like a giant fat pencil - ooh look at that. I bet you can use the
side of it - and the back look at that - that's kind of cool not sure when I would
use this, but it's interesting - there's no wood and no eraser, luckily it has this
little plastic wrapper so that you don't get the lead all
for your hand that's different I've never seen something like that - I've seen
woodless pencils but this has a little bit more novelty to it - so this must be
where the cap goes - bloop - how weird looking is that? one millimeter helix oxford ballpoint
pen in the color black okay? yeah... basic ballpoint pen, not sure why they
included that I feel like everybody owns something like - that last couple
things in here this is the Koh-I-Noor... it's just a graphite pencil without an eraser
yeah basically it's just a pencil I don't
know if it's in the color gray or not but it just looks like a basic pencil
let's see, this is the Koh-I-Noor eraser so this is actually a pencil that looks
like an eraser nifty! you can erase detailed points that's kind of cool, it gets dirty
real quick - and lastly it looks like a blending stump yeah paper stump blender
so you can blend stuff out that works really well with that 6b
pencil - what if we do that and then we use the eraser that actually is really cool
look at that! can you see? you can use the blending stump and then the eraser
almost like drawing in white that's kind of cool! - looks a little bit better than
trying to go straight on to the heavy pencil, good to know! the art print for
this month - wow! that's pretty crazy, it looks very real but those are drawings geez who
did this? Taylor Brooker, illustrator and graphic
designer from the UK oh if you like their art you can check them out - boop!
on Instagram, YouTube, and on Twitter I really like this mouth, and that Nose
I'll keep it over here for inspiration - the candy is a melody pop - oh! does it have a
whistle in it? we used to have these in the US but they like stopped
making them and I couldn't find them anywhere but when I was a kid and they
had like a little slider and you're like *whistle sounds * oh yep! see there's a slider in here I
bet it's the same
So this is the Leuchtturm 1917 Jottbook, I've actually looked at
their bullet journals and they were kind of on the pricey side ,I feel like it's
like 20 bucks for one, this is a bit slimmer - oh look at those yellow pages
mmm yummy - oh! they're numbered!? I can see why they're expensive then, look at
that! each page - this obviously isn't a bullet journal, it's blank, but look at that each
page is numbered! There is a section for your name, this page feels really
thin table of contents and you can put your page number, the paper feels
pretty thin like you can see text through there so I definitely wouldn't
use markers I can see why they included pencils and pens so hopefully won't
bleed through it - it's pretty nifty
for the November challenge it says try and
use one art supply and create something using just the one art supply kind of
like what Taylor did over here but that feels like.... I don't know.... I'm neglecting
all the other art supplies so part two of the challenge is to try and create
something using every single one of these art supplies and that seems a
little bit more my speed - so why don't we give that a try!
open up to this page
make some room on my desk
okay now there's a lot of like pastel and like
'feminine colors' here and it makes me think of like a princess so I think what
would be cool is if I didn't draw a princess
you know? you know what I'm saying? I think I know what I want to do I might
have to bring out my kneaded eraser for this but I'm going to start with the
pencil pencil, the plain old pencil, I feel like all the supplies in here kind of
like doodle supplies I don't know if I would classify them as art supplies
I mean...I guess this thing
people can probably make some pretty fancy-schmancy stuff
with this, but as someone who likes paints and markers this box definitely
wasn't my thing but I do love drawing in ballpoint pen
so it's not all bad - So we need a head, up at the top, we got a body that goes underneath the head
some my legs - like that - I forgot the line of action.... my bad
nice big shoes - I love drawing big tree trunk shoes hmm some arms, this way, not
bad okay... now that we've laid them out on the page I need to start making some
decisions about like which way I want his head to be looking and things like
that and do I want him to hold something like I wanted him to hold a skateboard
I've been practicing drawing like skateboards and roller skates lately for
other reasons so might as well take advantage of that I'm gonna have them
look of that way, that would be cool - where would the eyes be? - maybe around there - the jaw
line, nose would be there, mouth would be there, some fat eyebrows ooh that's fun maybe
a hat? maybe the hat is backwards? he's so original - I think I'll put him in
a sweatshirt - an oversized sweatshirt maybe rolled up to the elbows - a long shirt
and some skater boy pants - I might put this hand in this sweatshirt pocket that
might make the pose a little bit more interesting
*sketchbook sqeaks loudly*
what squeakin?!....
try again on the next page and if I like that one better I'll go
back to that one - little man spreading action - skateboards across his legs like
that - hands up top Im kind of liking this one better
what do you think? A or B? A or B? I'm going with B so doesn't really matter *hehe
but Id still like to know your opinion? let's work on that face
add some detail - there's a nice big eyebrows that sounds like something fun
to draw - it's kind just my thing - maybe some hair sticking through there hmm actually
kind of looks like dude! Wow! I can't complain about that
can you tell I've been practicing?
kind of forgotten about the sweatshirt - do I still want the sweatshirt? maybe?
I'll just do a rolled-up long sleeve instead of the sweatshirt I could just
just draw a bunch of wrinkles like this yes oh man I love to run rolled up sleeves
it's kind of a problem let's draw some boxers, he wears his pants
at his hips - there we go - how's that? I hate when guys do that but not
everyone's out in the world to please me
these hands, let's give him a big thick bracelet, those hands are little weird
we'll come back to that oh I forgot the skateboard
where'd the skateboard go?
see it was... going from knee to knee so it would be
like that's all going bye-bye
I think this elbow needs to move out
here to make sense... does that? yeah let's try it - this paper is pretty thins I got to
be careful about a erasing - I think I could really make a mess - so is that better or worse?
better, worse? all right now we just need to add the wheels in - I need a reference for
that because that's what I keep having trouble with I've been drawing a lot of
skateboards lately and I feel like I always mess up on the wheels let's check
out a reference - looks like the wheels are actually quite small and kind of right here - and move his arm
a bit just erased a smidge and draw some wheels - little tiny ones and then they
have like a long shaft, like that, something like this... - I don't think thats too bad! :D
let's put another one over here and the
angle of this this, the wheels would be like here I think we can't really see as much as the
other one huh okay - I'm going to thicken up this skateboard a bit, give it some depth
interesting shoes, I just sort of made them up in my head - some detailing on the
pants - this leg is a little short ...I was trying to make it look like it was in the distance but I really
really love the way the shoes are drawn and I don't want to mess that up
so next step colors!- actually wait...I should probably ballpoint pen this with
the ballpoint pen
let's just lightly erase so I can hopefully still see what
the heck's going on
eybrows
I feel like Lineart is the most boring part of art
because all you're doing is tracing what you're already drew and hoping you don't
mess it up - I think I'm gonna go ahead and color in his hair with the ballpoint
pen yeah I think that was a good decision
kind of messed up on the wheel
but no one will notice
♪
all right I think what I'm gonna do is go in and color I kind of want this
turquoise-y color for the pants - I'm just feeling that so I might as well go in
to do it - the light color first the last time I used colored pencils it was
almost like super textured paper and I really didn't like the way that turned
out but this is much smoother paper and I'm getting a much smoother even coat
with this and I'm liking that a lot better - bet I can even get a darker yeah
there you go, for shading mmm-hmm it's look like jeans... that really
wasn't my intention oh well - it was supposed to be more green than blue, now I either want
maybe a light coat over the knees maybe maybe - let me erase that a little make it even
lighter, for the boxers I think I want to use all these pens makes some plaid
I'm gonna color that in
with the pink a little - not too shabby I think a pink hat would be kind of cute
I'll do the shading with the pen and then color in the rest with the pencil
♪
I'm thinking graphite and I'm going to try and shade his face, let's see what happens
luckily I can erase if I hate it
alright, blending stump, blending stump - Wow a
little bit of lead [graphtie] goes a long way - now I'm gonna use the eraser
just a little white one and tone it down a bit maybe even tone it down a little bit
more with the kneaded eraser, -
oh no!
where'd that come from?!
Curse you...
well then I can go over this again and it makes a lighter tone okay
okay color in the nose and then use the eraser for a little bit of shine - oh yeah
Oh actually what I need is the pen that's the pink one, the black pen, and make these
eyebrows little darker now I just have to do the same for his arms - where's
my smudger? there is my smudger! one of these's sides is softer than the other and I
feel like it smudges better - then use the eraser to had highlight
use the blue pen for the
necklace - I guess so and then pencil for the little beads it would be cool if it
was like a color-block shirt and like this part was purple like that I
remember I used the chameleon coloured pencils and they were like very similar
colors to this, I drew a princess so I'm really glad that I'm drawing something
different and out of my comfort zone because these colors are kind of all in
my comfort zone so I'm drawing something out of my comfort zone but it still
feels a little bit more safe- I think this was a good idea
I'm shading I could do a
little bit more of that with the purple
♪
is there a pen I didn't use? I'm kind of digging the white sneakers, I don't know - add some
mountains - maybe it's a little more purple
all right now last thing I think
is this skateboard I'm thinking I want to do this design on the skateboard let
me practice over here - does that kind of look like that? I think so
let's do that to the
Skateboard then - I'll do an even coat of scribbles - tada! all right - pink is done try
fill in the white space it's basically I'm scribbling and aiming for any part
that doesn't have pen already kind of thing - lastly purple purple purple yeah
it doesn't really stand out... but we have the white gel pen
boop boop
and hopefully we
can like outline it make it pop a little more
throw some highlights in his eyeballs and his nose
I'll use the 6b pencil thing and darken up
down here because that like the gray toness up
there are just really bold I want to kind of even it out by adding some
gray tones down here like the hands you think would help but I did a icky job
with the hand so I just want to pull some of that down here - we can actually
take our eraser and draw like a little little edge - maybe maybe some cracks in
it? - yeah - you know, just some detail - some kind - I feel like I see bleachers back here or something
do I remember what bleachers look like? not really...
there you go ! Let's sign it! Okay!
sign over here I really like this purple pen it's like soft and like jelly like a
ballpoint pen
BIC makes pretty good pens I gotta say anyway I think I completed
the challenge I used every single art supplies is there something I missed?
I used that, I used that, I used that, I used that, I used that, I used that, I used that, I used this barely but
I did, I used this, this and I use that - PERFECT!
there we go there we have
it there's my little skater boy I think my favorite part is his face I don't
know if the gray tones really go well with the pastels but other than that I'm
kind of happy with this and had a lot of fun I really just enjoyed drawing the
sneakers oh! - thank you guys for watching if you're interested in getting your own
