today, I have two sheets of paper (and I'm excited to make something)
Pinterest is
one of my favorite ways to just peruse inspiration and find ideas for what to
draw but instead of letting it slowly inspire me I thought it would be fun to
let Pinterest tell me what to draw
so I have two sheets of paper here and I've
drawn two characters -- tada!
and Pinterest is gonna be telling me what their hair
is gonna look like, what their clothes are gonna will look like, what their
accessories are going to be; and I think it's going to be a lot of fun
let's do it!
♪
so the way we're going to do this is: this character is going to be character
number one--where's a pencil? I just drew these this!
this is going to be character number
one and this is character number three and when I search for something like
'hairstyles', the first result is gonna go on this character and the third result
is going to go on this character
there are a few rules like if it's an
advertisement we skip to the next one or if it's a video we'll skip to the next
one or if it's not directly visible what the 'hairstyle' is in the picture we'll
just skip to the next one
yeah let's get started
alright so the first thing we're
gonna do is search for hairstyles since that's what I mentioned earlier so
images of hairstyles
bloop!
let's see what we get
oh my gosh.. those two are very similar
okay I forgot how many white girls there
are on Pinterest so these two characters right add up looking very similar
alright let's start with the first one then shall we? - it's this like long
wedding hairstyle
okay with like some flowers and braids in the hair - all right
we can do that, we can do that,- looks like it goes down to about her butt in the
picture so [to paper: let's get you out of the way] and we can work on this
right it looks like the hair is being pulled back the image is from behind so it makes it a
little tricky
it looks like so there's some hair covering the [forehead] on the one
side then we have like the flowers and then the long length here, that's
wavy and it goes down to about
right the top of her waist there ish
let's add that in and so this hair is being
pulled into the braid and that's like braided around like that
but then
there's another braid-oh! that braid actually looks like it's a headband of
sorts so this braid comes up like this - let me just make that look like a braid and
then some flowers just so that they're visible, stick them right there and then
you have the strands of hair come out from underneath the braid now one of the
things that's making this challenge is very different from the way I would
usually use Pinterest is usually, I'll kind of like peruse Pinterest
a couple hours or like the day before I'm gonna draw something and I don't
realize I'm gonna find inspiration there and then I'll look at things and it'll
just make me want to draw and I'll end up making like a merge of a bunch
of different things that I saw whereas in this one I'm literally just ripping off
out of the pictures and I have to draw whichever ones come up in the search so
this is gonna be very interesting to see how this character turns out
I think that clothes are gonna be really fun because I don't know if I've ever seen
an ugly outfit on Pinterest you know?
and now let's move on to 'Three' over here and
let's see what was the-oh this like wedding updo was the image for that one
so it's got some like hairs that come down like this - elegantly curled - and then
the hairs being pulled back into a bun like that with some flowers
there you go
I think these two people are attending the same event because they both have
the baby's breath in their hair
there we go that's what our two characters are
looking like with just hairstyles now I can't decide if I want to do a top and a
bottom or like a one-piece but then again even if I search the top Pinterest
might tell me like a one-piece so let's hop on back over to Pinterest and see
what it wants me to do
now we're gonna search 'images of a shirt'
oh my gosh!
so the first one is an actual full outfit so that's what number one's
gonna be wearing here
we didn't get um a shirt in that picture so it moves us on
to number four which happens to be this v-neck that says 'faith over fear'
okay well Pinterest has spoken
let's start with number one which I think is a
baby's outfit - it's definitely a baby's outfit but that's okay
we're not discriminating here
so it looks like it's a tank top let me just
sketch this out real quick cuz I think I'm seeing some problems with the
anatomy that I'll need to iron out when I do these clothes
it kind of
scoops down and it has-oh! there's a face on it
I thought the bow was part of the neckline okay... well let me just figure
out the outfit first it's like blousy tank top - kind of like
this - it is a pretty high neckline I think and then there's a image on here of like
a face, it's kind of more like a hairline and some eyes - some eyelashes like that
and then there's a bow right here
and then work on- I think those are actually shorts -looks like a bow in the front
this outfit is actually really really cute - oh it's not a bow, it's like a belt so
these straps come in here and then they just stick out like that and then
there's another one coming from the other side and then it falls under like
this - wow I never thought of that before, looks kind of cool - I think
they're shorts so they kind of like bunch like and then they have a skirt
kind of flare to them - I don't know if there's like actually a seam they're not
it's kind of hard to tell but I'm gonna add the seam and erase some of these
lines we don't need anymore
not a bad-looking outfit - alright and I wonder
if I can draw in the gingham, it may be a little tough it'll probably end up
looking like plaid but it's part of the outfit I need to give it a shot
fix up some of this anatomy a little bit while we're here
something really fishy about the shoulders
adding some detail to the face, darkening up some of the lines that
I really like, bring in some life to the character - woohoo!
so I'm not entirely sure how Pinterest gives it suggestions when you search
something like I'm not sure how it's algorithm works whether it's based on
like things that I've searched previously and clicked on or if it's
based on what like what's popular and what other people have clicked on so
it's kind of interesting to see the results that I get
we should move on to
number three, give number three their shirt and then we're gonna have to look
up pants as well - I mean there aren't pants in this picture, it's just jeans
and sandals so I could include those if I want - so that's a v-neck just looks
like it's just a plain t-shirt doesn't look too special might be a woman's cut
but I can't really tell so I'm just gonna make it a plain t-shirt cuz that's
what I wear and that's how I that's what I know how to draw - it fits this person
properly, the seams should probably go over there erase some of the lines we don't
need - I'm not sure where it should cut maybe there? don't need some of these
body lines anymore and I guess you have to put the words on here - ohh, cursive is
a bit tricky for me
like this is like a fancy updo and this is like 'I'm going to
the store' t-shirt - that 'F' is exactly the same, this is definitely a font, not handwritten
there we go it's a little low but I'm actually kind of happy with
the way the lettering turned out and I don't want to redo that so there's a
reason I'm not a typist ( is that..no - thats not what that would be called)
the reason I'm not a typography artists, it's not really my thing
just hop over
and we're gonna search 'images of pants'
I tried to trial run of this the other
day and when I just put in like 'pants' I'd get a lot of like random
inspirational quotes (maybe not with pants but you could get the idea) I had
to start type in 'images' or or 'photos' - alright so number three - one
two, three! so we got these sort of like cuffed cargo pants with a chain okay
let's do that looks
like they're pretty high waisted should i tuck the shirt in
that'd be so funny to help you words getting cut off by a high-waisted pant
let's just draw it without that first and see how we like it
(or I like it I guess, it's up to me) so they're kind of loose fittings there's a
lot of 'wrinkeledge' happening here - we're gonna lose those kneecaps I was so proud
of - we got the chain too it goes like there and there's a ton of bunching down
near the cuff here
does that look like pants (or poop?) [giggle]
now the cool thing about me
having to draw all of these clothes on these different characters is I can make
them fit the body types I don't have to go searching for different sizes you
know, I just make it work (it's like I'm a god!)
we'll leave the poop leg - it kind of brings me joy [giggle]
alright now the chain - this is actually turning out really cool! because I have
the reference right there I can like kind of get an idea of what these
wrinkles look like - they're really helping me - alright so this is what we've
got so far - number one and number two - I love how different they look I was
kind of worried that we'd have like very similar results but that's not happening
this character probably will have socks visible whereas this character we can
move on to the shoes so why don't we do number one and see if we have any socks
for this one
let's go back to the search and then we can do 'images of socks' see
what we get - LITTLE KITTY SOCKS?!
we've got these 'hot sox from Macy's'
oh shoot. so I just refreshed the search results and all the images are
completely different I didn't realize Pinterest did that but
luckily I saved that pin otherwise we'd have sloths socks (not that I have anything
against sloths socks though) but we could go with the original ones because
I'm not a cheater - go back to our brown Kitty socks
looks like they go up to about there - maybe I think we're gonna need zoom in for this
one of them's like standing up - watch the shoes I get be boots and we
just cover up these (but we'll know they're there)
okay now I just need to
draw some some kitties over here
alright let's move on to the shoes
now we can type in 'images of shoes'
alright so the first result doesn't really have
anything second result has some shoes here - oh but that's an ad - ok first pair
of shoes are these lemon Nike prestos - so that's what 'One' gets - so we can draw
those on this character here - they're a little bit sporty for the outfit not
what I would have chosen they actually give you hard to draw it's not very good
angle - they are pretty long, come up a little bit near the toe, and for
the back it looks like there's a lot more tread - stitching designs hey at
least we can get boots can't complain there
that's like really
big compared to the rest of the body
alright now I just have to do it again
but from a bit of a different angle and there's the lace and the logos on the
front - there we go! I mean they look like shoes I'll take
that - all right let's move on to number Three - so let's go back so this is one
that'd be two, this would be three - Oh Galaxy shoes! dang!
those look really cool and fun to draw
I'm so excited and they actually come up pretty high I think like here almost and
they like curved down and then they come back up like that so I can erase some of
this then they're really like tall - i'll do little 3d shape here, cuz I'm kind of losing
this foot - then we have this sort of like detailing along with like this weird
piece that looks like it's 3d printed kind of looks like rollerblades
and then they're more pointy then this part comes (this is confusing) and it's
like really really big what's that part the sole of the shoe? is
that what shows up I'm not sure like - that I had some designs on there this
has some stitching design like that - oh well I need some practice drawing shoes
and I'm getting it
again this angle of the shoes a little
confusing with the leg - oh! this actually comes down further it comes
like there all right now I just need to add the
laces I think - now these are untied so I think I'll draw them untied too - the lace
peeking around the corner there - there we go now to do it again
let me try and
pull -this foot actually was originally pointing more towards like the viewer
and this one was to the side but to avoid having to shoes that are just
sticking completely outwards from each other I'm gonna try and redraw that foot
but more angled forward, like this
but again the shoe comes up pretty high so
im gonna erase a bit of that too - give it a shot here
I should probably color in this so you can see the difference between that and
the white accents - there we go two shoes
those are really fun to draw (and kind
of scary) - what do we got so far? besides the mess - oh my gosh, graphite everywhere!
oh dear
I think the last thing we can
search for is accessories and then I think it'd be fun to look for
a name - I don't know how Pinterest will work with that but I'm gonna give it a shot
search 'images of accessories'
what do we got?
okay we got real accessories down there so let's see that one we passed cuz
there's too many options you don't directly see which ones which, right?
that's an advertisement - those are shoes and we're already wearing shoes so
number one we have... - number one would be this Mickey Mouse watch case? alright
alright so that's what number one is going to be wearing, which arm would you
say that is looks like this I think it's in this arm, so that's her left arm
alright so there's two bracelets with some
inscriptions on him but I drew too small so that's not gonna happen
this the second bangle and then on top of that there's a watch
unfortunately I drew her hand kind of facing outwards so the watch would
probably be here so you're not gonna see a lot of it - i can still add those Mickey ears - here we go
got that taken care of - now we need something for number three over here so
one two three we've got these cherry earrings Oh cherry bow earrings there's
a bow up there now there's not really any room for that this one was a bit of
a bust we'll just stick with the earring since we're not cheaters - it's not my fault
you won't see them, that's Pinterest's fault - I'm gonna end up doing it darkly cuz I'd be in
the shadow - that doesn't really add anything to the picture really did it
it's just finished drawing the hands down here
alright so there's one and
three with hair, shirts, pants, socks, shoes, and accessories - now I think it's time
see if we can use Pinterest to find names so I'm just gonna search 'names' and
if that doesn't work I'll try 'baby names' okay yeah I'm getting too many here
what if I just search 'one baby name' any help?
oh wait we got one so number one's new name is
Adalia! - I should have done this first so that I wasn't calling them 'one' and 'three' - Adalia
cute alright now the next-okay so now we got to go three down: one, two, three - we
got Raine, which is French for Queen - Raine there we go got Adalia and Raine - how's
that - oh, there's some good ones down here Oakland, Lynleigh, Reign, I like that
Reign, I like the spelling cuz it's like you reign over your kingdom, right? but I'm
not in control here
I think it would be fun to bring some color into Adalia and Raine's life
if I can remember what the color of everything was so yeah let's see what happens
oh and there we have it - I added a quick wash of color just to see
what it would all look like put together and honestly these don't look too bad
like the color schemes look a little better than when I pick the colors
myself - I think the hardest thing is trying to get the hair to look like that
blond highlight-y hair stuff that I don't know how to paint but yeah this is a lot
of fun I think it'd be a really fun game to play when you don't know what to draw
give yourself something to do
I want to thank you guys for watching I'll have a
link in the description to all of the pins that I use to create these
illustrations - I'll see you all next week and I hope you have a delicious evening
full of waffles!! BYE! ♪
