This is the December 'petite' Palatteful Packs box - you might notice that it's a
lot smaller than some of the ones that I've opened previously - this brand
actually has three separate tiers for subscription boxes and this is their
lower adult tier and I'll have a link in the description if you want to check out
their website but we're gonna open it up and find out what's inside!
♪
look at that
I got this late - I think I got it a couple days after Christmas so I'm just
now opening it if I'd opened this up before Christmas I would have been like
festive whoo! but now it just kind of feels like the
holidays threw up *hehe* and I love the confetti I make fun of it all the time
but I love it
this is a water brush so are we gonna have watercolors? it looks
like that - these are all basically the same I've never had one that was bad and I've
never had one that was like amazing either - it unscrews there and then you feel
that section with water - also in here there is a 'Sun Yellow' - Oh I've used these before,
these are the Derwent inktense water color pencils and this one is in the color 'Sun Yellow'
this is another PITT artist pen I feel like Paletteful always includes a PITT
artist pen I think - I think they have a favorite art supply this is a
medium sized bullet nib one
what is this? these pastels? those look messy on the
menu it says these are: these are the Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water soluble
wax oil pastels - What's this? Oh another Derwent inktense pencil - this time in the color
'field green' - I'll put it way next to the other one
I believe this box starts at... like $23.95 a month
and free shipping in the US
oh this is a little sketchbook the Pentallic the
dreamcatcher accordion fold artist journal okay get
this open it's watercolor paper so it's 140 pounds 300 GSM cold press acid-free
woooop!
an accordion sketchbook okay this is the coolest thing it makes me think of like
a treasure map - let me see if I can zoom out - just look at the width of this
I can't even fit it on camera so I guess you could do either individual drawings
like that and use it like a sketchbook or you could try to draw one super long
drawing like this or you could do it back oh I see so you do it this way and
you have pages and you can flip it over and you can have pages or you can do
one super long drawing - that's really nifty
I would never have thought to make sketchbook like that - "it's perfect for
painting panoramic scenes and uninterrupted creation" - so if you were
drawing something like this and like oh I'm just gonna keep drawing it's like
the Super Smash Brothers that like mural in classic mode whoo
that would take a long time [to fill]
so the theme for this month is water-soluble drawing
media so they included the watercolor sketch book and then a bunch of the
water soluble art supplies I'm gonna go fill this with water and we'll
come back and we'll start creating something
I'm just gonna open it up to
the first page and then maybe when we draw something we'll use this side I
kind of really want to try something panoramic but I don't really have any
ideas yet so hopefully by testing these art supplies I'll get a better idea - try
these out and try it on dry and then we'll go over with the water and see
what we can do with these - all right so that's what those look like
without water now we can take the water brush and we'll see what happens yeah
since I actually put way too much water on that we're gonna see how the paper
reacts to large amounts of water this paper is super thick by the way I'm
hoping it's gonna handle pretty well I'm not a huge fan of like the crayon texture
before you add water, what I do want to try and see if I can make a purple using
red and blue if I like draw like a red dot and I put a blue dot over top - well we're
getting a different color but where the [pastel] still is it's not really blending
as well as with the water it doesn't lift up the pastel completely so it's
still got an annoying dot there but the colors look cool so I wonder if there's
a way to mix that before adding it to your drawing? - right and then we get to
try the Derwent inktense - look at that yellow
ugggggh!! :D :D
I mean compared
to the oil pastel that's just screams yellow and honestly if I use a
lot of green, yellows, and browns I feel like I could make a pretty cool map I
mean it's a really small little guy but I feel like that's super easy to
like stick in your purse or something and take with you like it's probably the
size of like a [travel-sized] watercolor palette and then you can have those two
together I think that's a really good combo it didn't include one of those but
I think that'd be cool
my idea would be to use this tan color
as a backdrop but I need to decide if I want to do go like the 'Lord of the Rings'
route of a map which would probably be more this color or if I want to go like
a classic sort of map and then I need to decide if I want to do anything else
with that or if I just want draw a boring map - so I'm not loving the pastels
because it leaves like that Crayon texture and I can't seem to get rid of
it and I don't really want to add a whole lot more water because this is
already pretty wet - I wonder if you just dipped one of these things in water that
blends out a bit better if you actually get the pastel wet first and it just
looks like dirty paper at this point - look at that line. should I make these
even? should I get a ruler out or just wing it?
officially 'wong'
there we go
you know they always draw waves - it's looking pretty lame *laughs*
so after spending
some time on this little map doodle, I-I think it gave me the confidence to say
this is not really what I want to do for today's video but I think it turned out
kind of cute it's kind of funny I still want to take advantage of like the
panoramic pages just not entirely sure how I want to go about that yet so the
thing about this is we can turn the page we could still see our funny little map
we could start drawing here something else I learned while playing with these
is that they're really difficult to use least in a way that I'm trying to like
force them to work I'm not entirely sure how you're supposed to go about these
*awkward silence*
look I made a star!!
♪ Reading Rainbow ♪
okay I just came up with the idea but I'm
gonna need my actual watercolors it's gonna be a cheat but I think the arts
gonna turn out pretty cool so I think it's a fair trade like I won't be using
just Paletteful Packs stuff, I'm gonna use this guy instead this actually came in a
Scrawlrbox but it's the same brand and type of ink as these pencils so it's
okay okay my idea is on this first page I'm going to use only one color of
watercolor and then hopefully when you open it up it'll be a rainbow and I'll
try and use these as much as possible too
I'm gonna start with green is my idea start with a tree what if the tree cuts
across into this area well I should probably mostly be inside the green one
we can have a little cutting into maybe the yellow block and I'll have some leaves
that have fallen down on this side since that's gonna be more yellow maybe a
snake? snakes are green right? not loving that idea
draw a little person who is drawing the
treen like me - ohh maybe there's a little bird, she's just drawing the bird yeah yeah
looks good for the first one and we can start coloring that in I changed my
mind
♪
okay I mess up the legs but no one will notice - I should keep everything simple and
cohesive and try to stick within like the same sort of style throughout the whole
accordion - then yellow I'm obviously gonna have the Sun because you know
those Sun is kinda yellow - I want to start coloring
that way it'll all kind of dry consecutively - for the sky I'm gonna try
and mix green and blue - and then paint in the sky with that color
probably make it get lighter at the bottom there - there we go there's the sky
for the grass I'm going to use this dark 'racing green' for shadows under the trees
♪
I've decide the back sky isn't green enough so I'm gonna go over it a little
light layer of the 'racing green'
♪
if I can blend this out to a more yellow green on
this end I think we'll be in good shape
like this color whoo it's pretty
add some of the pastel -yeah see it's just so textured I don't like it I use the oil
pastels - alright moving on to the more greenish yellow place I guess I'm gonna
have to move the Sun over here and move the yellow down a smidge - this will be
there and stretch out even on to the next page here - that's the cool thing
you just keep unfolding for more paper - ooh we can make that ray a little bit
more obvious it should hopefully offer a sense of cohesion *woossht* somehow I've got green
water in the tube *hehe
I'm gonna put some trees in the background here probably
that looks like a weird bumpy rock *hehe
color the yellow green now
starting with the yellow I'm
pulling away from the Sun and then we'll blend into that lime green color - like
that - add a little shading there with the old green/Kiwi color
♪
okay so that's the green, the light green, and now we're moving into that yellow
think I just want to put a character in the foreground for yellow maybe holding
a flower just draw that out
♪
pigtails maybe
give her hands so she can hold the flower alright
lets ink that puppy -
♪
people who actually do like illustrations like this
they have my full respect because I just don't have the patience to do something
this large, I can already feel myself being really lazy and there's like
things that I probably wouldn't let slide if this was like a more centered
drawing on this specific illustration - there you go but this will be yellow on
this half of her and 'orange-er' on that end of her, I can use this Derwent pencil
♪
then on this side they'll be that orange
little overalls can be orange so
you can see the difference
♪
color in the grass but a bit yellower - next up is orange to red
it's time for another
tree, maybe one that cuts off the top of the page like like that
maybe someones peeking around the edge - maybe someone is peeking around this side too
just try to draw a boy
and girly-girl too
maybe some birds in love, literal love birds
up here
all right! ink! ink! ink!
before my battery dies
all right now it's time to color: orange to red - start with straight orange and
color whatever I want to be the darkest like the tree
♪
i can color the trunk a little lighter
♪
but we can also add like a shadow underneath the leaves
♪
probably can color in
this grass pretty dark orange
'red-er' for the shirt
color in the hair - do I want to add little blushies? yeah - do the same for her
♪
okay, now I need to transform that red to more of a blue color so I guess it's
probably gonna end up being purple - ooh yum!
if I could eat a color
well, this one.
I guess grape juice is this color -
if I want to go fully to blue somehow in these two pages
that's the goal at least, I just make this right side of it blue in the middle
ish purple
oops I just cleared the beak blue! - oh what was I thinking? I don't
know why I can't seem to color inside the lines today my - hand is just all over
the place
♪
so this isn't the best paintbrush - this is the one that came with the December box
color in this mushroom bright red
ohh that's a really nice color too, its a bit 'Pink-er'
than the other grape color
♪
well there's is by no means professional
alright gotta zoom out in time for the grand reveal, are you ready? are you ready?
bum bum bum bum !!
so we have our blue and a green and yellow and a orange and a red and a
blue - boo boo!
this is by no means a professional illustration I think this brush is
lacking something in the detail Department or when I try
to get certain strokes I don't know it just sort of flattens maybe that's my
wrist but I'm gonna blame the brush
I really like the way it's a rainbow so it starts
at blue and ends at blue - this side of drawings like all dark and dreary and
this one's a lot brighter and happier and then there's a little bit more
serene
and I kind of like the way that flows I think I got better at like
fitting things on the composition on this side whereas the sides a lot more
opened and like empty
and I kind of failed the Paletteful Packs challenge for
the month since I didn't really use these pastels at all I did use these two
a little bit you'll see like there's a little like detailed things here and
there where I used the watercolor pencils I used the watercolors of the
same name as these pencils to do all the watercolor and of course I used boo-be-de-boo
the sketchbook that came with this month's box which I'm in love with I
love the way it opens up I wish I had finished those last two pages but I keep
looking back at this and seeing how just sort of n00bish it looks and I'm
feeling the need to step away from this I don't think I can make it look any
better by adding the last two pages but there it is oh and then there's also
other drawings that we made right there so that's how we started with the
sketchbook then if we flip it over we have my drawing, isn't that pretty cool? I did my
best to do a panoramic - backgrounds and stuff are not my specialty, im more um
character art is so this is definitely outside of my comfort zone and I just
loved the colors they just make me happy - oooh its a rainboww!
this Paletteful packs was sent to me for free to try out and share with you if
you're interested in getting your own subscription I'll have a link in the
description where you can check that out and see which tier is right for you this
again was the Petite Box, there's the premier, and then I think the young
artist box is the third one - I'll have a link you can check that out but this is
what I came up with for this month's box even though I didn't use the
supplies but the sketchbook is what inspired me to do the rainbow panoramic
thing and if I hadn't had this Sketchbook I wouldn't have thought of that and I want
to grab my watercolors but look how this is still wet so I can't really - try and
dry that out a bit - but I love the size of this sketchbook and like how big you
can draw when it's so small I think they said it was 4x6 and if you have like a
little travel watercolor kit - look! This Derwent one is like the same size you can
just put it in a purse this is so small I love it you don't have to have like a
separate art bag yeah I'm very impressed with this little
sketchbook and like I show you I used a lot of water in some of those places and
you know there's isn't any buckling that's some real nice paper - pretty cool yeah
that's the accordion - what brand is this? "the Pentallic watercolor dreamcatcher
accordion fold artist's journal" that's a mouthful - I really like this
this was definitely the star of the show I love how you can like turn the pages
and it's like a different little illustration - that's definitely my
weakest with the watercolor but my strongest with the layout
ooh I like that one
and I like the perkiness of this green
yeah and then the empty page
[whispers: but we don't talk about that]
