hey there it's good to see you i'm sorry i was gone for like three weeks i got really sick with
a stomach problem and all i could do was lay in bed with my phone on tiktok which normally i would
love that but i was just absolutely miserable and it turns out i was having a bad reaction to some
medicine that i was on and so now that that's gone i'm almost 100% back to normal because i
got the opportunity to spend a whole entire week straight just looking for tiktok art hacks i am
so excited to say that i have found some of the most interesting useful maybe a little sketchy
art hacks that i could find and today i'm going to try them out see if they work and
see what the real tea is today i'm going to be featuring many different tiktok creators and
on this channel you guys know we support smaller creators so every single person that i show today
please go check them out give them a follow give them some views go show them some love support and
you know maybe you'll make their day and as far as i go the answer is yes i do have a tiktok account
i post tutorials useful art information my artwork all things art so if that sounds like something
you're interested in not only will i be leaving the other creators linked down below but also
my tiktok okay okay for this very first art hack hopefully this one truly works for me because
this one would be an absolute game changer it's a way to make your cheap paint look expensive
the hack is to get regular acrylic paint turn that into a thick body acrylic
if you don't know thick body sorry
never mind this is very high quality thick body acrylic it comes out very very thick almost like
oil color or something it doesn't look like a normal typical acrylic it's so thick it's almost
like a toothpaste it's very very sticky and when you compare it directly to just regular liquid
acrylic paint i mean there's just absolutely no comparison like look how liquidy this one is
i personally don't have any marble powder so instead in the comments i saw that you could use
cornstarch so i'm just going to glob a little bit on just like this nice and watery exactly what we
expected i don't know how much cornstarch to get but just i guess like a nice we'll start off small
this is kind of tripping me out right now because this paint absolutely does not look like
regular acrylic it definitely looks like oil paint now all right so here's a before
thin watery we do not want her we do not like her unless you do like her then that's okay too but
for this specific art hack not a fan and with her makeover this is now what she looks like
the texture is a lot more drier but it's applying a lot more evenly i mean there
is no comparison even on the screen you can clearly see the difference between the two
okay i don't even have words this is such a good hack my gosh i'm giving this one a
1000 out of 10. now for this next hack i'm gonna have to get really serious for this one
this one single-handedly was the reason i'm making this video today um if this truly works
girl i am gonna be shook okay this hack that you're about to see i wouldn't even consider
this an art hack it's more like pure genius i i mean like i didn't even know this was a thing
i'm not even gonna tell you what this hack is i just want you to see it for yourself i
could tell you all day that you can draw with any metal lying around but i figured i might as well
show you by sculpting this pointy little thing out of aluminum foil how funny would it be to
hang art in a prestigious gallery only for the description to say it was drawn with aluminum foil
this tiktoker literally made a whole entire iron man portrait with aluminum foil i don't
think you understand how crazy that is they made a drawing with aluminum kitchen foil i don't know
how many likes this video has but it needs more with like whatever it has it needs triple if not
quadruple that now for this art hack i have here with me an old gesso board that i have
yet to use in the tiktok the user says to already prep your canvas and this tic
uh i was going to call this a tiktok this board is already prepped
and i also have the exact same brand of foil that the tiktoker used
the edge isn't perfect but i don't think it needs to be perfect because as long as it scratches
lightly it'll make like a light like a light line what should i draw how about just an eyeball
oh that noise is gonna bother me so bad in fact i'll just
turn off the audio because that is very unpleasant
this is so weird it looks from my angle it looks exactly just like a pencil this is like
working with absolute ease and i suggest if you're one of those people who absolutely hates the noise
of nails on a chalkboard this is probably not for you because that's all this noise is
as far as like the metallic sheen goes it might just be the canvas that i'm using it
might be the type of foil that i'm using for me personally it doesn't look any more reflective
than a pencil would it kind of reminds me of the early crayon da vinci drawings this
technique is just like drawing with a pen where you're not able to go any lighter or any darker
and the cool thing about this is usually when you draw with a pencil there's all kinds of like
things everywhere like little pencil shreds but because this is just literally crushed
up foil there is absolutely zero mess to this all around i would say this worked
out beautifully and if i had to rate this i would give it a perfect 10 out of 10.
now for this next hack i'm sure it's gonna work but to be quite honest with you
i don't think it's gonna work very well okay and it's nothing
to do with the tiktoker at all but i think this technique is just gonna be
more than what it's worth you know what i mean and the tiktoker is obviously very very good
at this technique but i think i'm gonna suck
yeah see they basically made a pencil contraption and they were able to trace a drawing from it and
not only were they able to trace it but they were able to trace it incredibly well now i gotta make
these as even as possible that way whenever i draw with them they'll be like even you know
it's not too sturdy all right so let's try this out this is the
image that i'm gonna try to copy i'm gonna do this exactly as they showed on the tiktok
and i'm gonna keep it sturdy and just go for it oh shoot it doesn't reach so like the highest point
over here it won't reach on the page that might be a problem all right so i just printed out a
smaller image this one should reach all the way like the highest point should reach the other page
yeah i'm sure that there is some kind of a technique that can be done to make this look
better but the whole entire point of a hack is that it's a hack it's supposed to make life easier
for you that's why it's called a life hack and i gotta give props to the original tiktoker i
mean they did a really good job with like keeping the consistency of the pencils but i mean girl
we can't we can't be doing this okay i guess i'm just not talented enough for
this one to work so i'm gonna have to give this one a two out of ten
now for this next art hack i would say that it's more for like entertainment
aesthetic purposes i think it's absolutely amazing but i just
don't know if it's practical but i want to try it out um and this is what it is
so basically they put markers and water in a spray bottle and they let the ink from the markers mix
with the spray bottle and then they just like sprayed as like a texture kind of thing now when
it comes to this hack i think this hack would be best applied to markers that are completely dried
out already but for me personally i don't have any random markers that are dried out just like
laying around you know so instead i'm just gonna use fresh ones that i got at the dollar store
all right let's try this out hopefully the second that i put it in it doesn't like topple over
i have a feeling that might happen
and now i'm going to fill this thing up not all the way just
like a little bit to get some of the ink i'm gonna fill it up with water
so it's been about maybe 15 20 minutes
as you can see the water is super concentrated now it's almost like a pure black color
oh it's kind of working
and it's like even too well on the camera it doesn't look very even
but in real life it looks super even from my angle
if you were doing an illustration or a watercolor and you wanted to tone your canvas i bet this
would literally be the solution to that look at this this is so good not very practical but it's
really really cool if i had to rate this one i would say it's a seven out of ten and the reason
i'm not giving it a perfect 10 is because it's kind of messy and kind of impractical and requires
a lot of markers now for this next art hack this is one that i'm like this is such good information
it's super easy anybody can do this one and i genuinely think this one will save people a lot of
money so for all you artists starting out here's a little art hack um see in my water i have this
thing at the bottom well that is this stuff that you buy at the i don't know where but it's just
um shelf paper stuff like to line your childs and put your cups on it and stuff and you put it in
the bottom and you can scrub your brushes on it and it gets them really clean i really like the
concept of this art hack because shelf liner is really soft it's waterproof it's bendable and i
just think it's a better alternative than chicken wire or something to start off i'm going to cut
the shelf liner into a perfectly not symmetrical circle that'll fit inside of this
now i'm going to fill this up with water exactly how they showed
okay here's my dirty brush and now for the moment of truth
oh my gosh yes this one worked out beautiful
this thing doesn't 100 stick to the bottom as you swirl it around it's gonna mess up like it's not
stuck to it if you were to make it more permanent i bet this hack would just
absolutely blow it out of the water no pun intended i guess because the shelf liner is
waterproof and it has that texture it just automatically cleans it this was a very good
hack and i could personally see myself using this all the time eight out of ten
now this is the only art hack that i'm going to show you that technically isn't
an art hack the account is actually somebody who's a nail artist but just like a traditional artist
a synthetic brush is a synthetic brush so in theory the hack that i'm about to show you
should work the exact same i fixed my students art brush with boiling water
i know that one went by super fast but let's rewind first they get a brush that has clearly
been messed with they dip it in boiling water and even just when it's underwater you can already see
like the bristles start to and when they pull it back out it's literally perfect again i have been
saving this little janky brush for months just to be able to find a hack that'll clean this bad boy
right up so here i have a hot water boiler and i'm gonna turn it on wait for the water to boil
as you can see it's very hot it's steaming hot so i want to see if this works
um not so much yeah no that's just not really working out for me
i mean i would like to give it oh yeah no it's not working um
i'm gonna have to give this one for my personal experience a four out of ten
for this next tiktok if you are an artist i'm sure you have experienced that thing
where you put a piece of tape down put some watercolor around it and when you
went to tear off the protective tape it like tears the paper along with it well
my friends this tiktok might be for you it's a way to completely prevent that from
happening and by the way the artwork in this is just absolutely beautiful
you see what i mean it's absolutely seamless when they took off the tape it was perfect
and something to know is the tape that they were using i don't even think that's painters tape i
think that's straight up just regular packing tape masking tape like this is so much cheaper
than painters tape so i really hope this one works just for the sake of my my wallet just
gonna put that down i'm gonna press it in exactly how i would if i was painting if i was drawing
now for the sake of making it more authentic i'm also gonna draw over it like i would
if if i was actually using this for a drawing or painting
so here's what it looks like before with no heat applied to it without the art hack
yeah see it tore it up the tiktok didn't specify if i should use high heat if i should use
low heat so i'm going to use medium air with the highest heat setting feels nice
boom yeah this was significantly easier to peel off than the first one and when i was
peeling it off some of the areas were still stuck together when they were blow drying
but all i had to do was go back over it with a hair dryer and then it peeled off
with complete ease yeah this was such a good art hack i'm gonna give this one
as far as like ease and everything i'm gonna give this a 10 out of 10.
well anyway guys that concludes the video that concludes the art hacks for today
