Adam & Steph: Hi art friends!
Steph: OOH we've got an exciting video! Adam: I'M SO EXCITED *old voice*
Steph: the company Winsor & Newton, they've sent us a couple of things in the past
and they've sent us a really special present today
and I am SO EXCITED
Adam: this is like... super .. cool
Steph: hahaha, very well put
A: they've first of all sent us this
S: we've got a big pack of A4 pigment marker paper
that's the thing with these pigment markers, I've never used them before but I know a lot of art subscription boxes were giving away the pigment markers
and people were using them on ordinary paper
A: it's not going to be ideal S: haha yeah they don't work on ordinary paper
S: and look at this lovely set that they've sent us
I could've cried with happiness when this thing arrived
A: they also sent us a mini one too!
S: yeah it comes inside the little set up here
A: so there's an A5 and A4 pad of paper
S: that's a leaflet that tells you all about the pens
A: that's really useful, look at that!
S: AHH I love colour swatches, it makes me so happy
A: but what you guys are probably most interested in and so are we, is the pens
and there's two trays
there's obviously colours and skin tones
S: and then the grey scales
S: and the thing I've heard is really special about these is that they come with a white blender
there's a colourless blender too
but there's also a white blender
A: wow that is a white marker
look at how white that is!
S: well because we've never used these before, maybe we should test them in that really little pad
and we'll have a little doodle in the back
A: do you think we should share with you guys the theme that we're supposed to be doing?
S: yeah the theme for this is Colour your city
I'm going to do something themed around the city
and you're going to do something themed around the country
because me and Adam used to be a long distance relationship
A: back in the day
S: I was living in London and he was out in the country
so I used to get a train from London to come visit him
S: lets see what the quality of the paper is like ooh it's very thin
A: that's the first thing I thought too
S: you look scared haha A: where to begin?!
A: I'm going to go with a grey one
because this is like the first time that we're using these like EVER
I don't know how they work S: I wanted us to use them for the first time on camera
so you guys could get a feel for them
A: no pressure!
oh!
A: wow it's really nice
S: it does look a bit more painty
A: so this is the white blender
S: lets see what this does
A: lets try a blue
S: oh it is picking up the white from underneath
A: do you want me to try the colourless blender?
S: YEAHH lets see how everything works
normally colourless blenders bleach colours
oh yeah that's done something!
A: I think you're supposed to put this down first
so we'll try with whatever this is
teal!
S: ooh I like teal
you know, back in the days of MSN
my font used to always be in the colour teal
A: ahhaha oh my god
S: in courier new
A: is that how you looked edgy back in the day?
S: yeah because it looked like a teal typewriter. I liked teal and I liked typewriters
wow that's created a nice midcolour
ooooh I'm excited!
A: look at this, this is the sheet I was just messing with
this paper is really thin
but look at that S: it hasn't gone through to the other side!
A: it hasn't gone through at all
now I don't know whether you could use both sides?
S: I swatched the other side!
A: theoretically you could colour both sides S: although I'm not sure if it's paper you have to use on one side?
because there are some types of marker papers that are like that
A: if that is the case guys, feel free to tell us in the comments
it doesn't say, other than this paper's been specially made for these pens
it doesn't say that you can only use it on one side
S: that page is about paper
A: lets have a look S: although last time you read about that bird on camera you missed out some vital information haha
A: haha yeah I was just like *throws* oh it doesn't say anything
S: haha yeah I've probably passed this to the wrong person
A: do you have any idea what you want to do for this though?
S: I think I'll be the crazy guy that jumps straight in with no pencil sketching
and if it goes absolutely terrible then I'll sketch something and cut out that other part of the video, you guys will never know!
A: YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW THIS HAPPENED.
S: ok so lets get some more paper out
I'll keep it this way up incase it matters which way it goes
A: so that's the right way around
S: oh I wonder if I should sketch it with the thinner tip first? A: you can't go back now!
A: so this is you then, right?
S: yeah it's meant to be haha
A: what colour is that you're going in with? S: Burnt Orange
do people burn oranges?
I mean someone must've burnt an orange to be able to name a colour this right
I'm going to give myself toxic yellow hair
A: oh that's so cool
S: I need to draw myself in the city somehow, maybe I should draw myself with a tourist tshirt A: you'd be getting tube tickets
A: you could have a tshirt on that says I love Big Ben. S: I LOVE BIG BEN? HAHAHA
A: I love that clock!
S: hows yours going?
A: it's going okay I think S: lets have a look
S: aw is it 2 people hiding behind a tree?
A: it's meant to be you and me
S: OHH that's really cute, I like that! *pats arm*
A: because it reminds me of when we did the Zelda Doodle Date in the woods
that was in the country
it doesn't look much like us at the minute
S: nahhh I think it's cute
I might now draw you stood next to me
but I've just realised I've drawn myself blankly staring forwards
so I might draw you next to me, looking at me or something
you can be telling me it's okay because I get overwhelmed in really busy environments
A: we'll get you through this crowd of like 7 people
S: yeah hahaha A: I really like how yours is going
A: and incase you guys are wondering aswell, I'm pencil sketching it first
what I'm going to try and do, is sketch it all out and then lightbox it
then use the markers on the top sheet
S: I'm using burnt orange
A: oh god you're going back to burnt orange again
I would love to hear the story of the guy that discovered burnt orange
A: I think he burnt his orange and then he said "y'know what, lets make a colour out of this"
A: "DARNIT I BURNT MY ORANGES AGAIN"
"wait a minute, that colours awesome. I'm gonna sell that colour to Winsor and Newton and become a millionaire."
S: so what is it that you're doing?
A: my sketch is underneath this
S: just a tip, I've discovered going in with the chisel tip I can get a more even flat lay of the colour
A: yeah but the problem being is that I've drawn you quite small ahhh
I don't mind me, I just want to do a good job of you
S: you don't have to do a good job of me! look at how I've drawn me!
A: yours is super cute
S: I've got a reference of Big Ben up so I can draw Big Ben next to me
A: gotta have those Big Ben references
S: GASP can this go into our romantic collab playlist?! A: NO this isn't a romantic collab
S: but we're drawing each otherrrrr
A: it's not romantic!!
its kind of hard to see
but I'm very foolishly not using a light box
so if you guys ever choose to do it this way, just get a lightbox
S: orrr a good alternative if you don't have a lightbox is if it's sunny or you have some form of daylight
stick it to a window!
A: that's also a really good way, yeah
god that looks freaky doesn't it, look at that
S: it doesn't look freaky
it's just because you haven't got your line art in yet
have you ever done that in Photoshop when you turn off your lineart layer?
A: HAHA YEAH AGH
A: I know my skin is a bit darker than yours, what colour do you think I should pick for me?
S: maybe this one?
it's slightly darker than the one you've used for me
A: I'm going to try the chisel end, I'm putting my trust in you
S: when you're done with that colour I'm probably going to nick it off you so I can colour Big Ben
A: Big Ben isn't tan!
S: he's a very tan clock
A: oh yeah I guess he kind of is
S: I've never drawn Big Ben before, I hope I do a fantastic job
A: you will, don't worry
wow you're going in with that pretty cool
look at that confident line
S: I'm getting way better at a flat lay of colours now
S: oh no I haven't left much room a the top
A: where's the clock face going to go?!
S: hahahahha.. oh dear A: it just looks like a big plank of wood
S: you leave Big Ben alone. A: Big Plank.
S: I might have to use the white because I've forgotten the clock face
A: oh my god S: the most important part
S: uhh Big Ben's kind of detailed x__x
I should've picked a simpler clock
like a digital watch or something
A: Welcome to London, famous for its digital clock
S: aw are you doing your top with the blue sleeves?
A: yeaaah
S: do you wanna see my Big Ben
A: oh wow, you've done a really good job!!
S: do you think it's looking more like Big Ben now?
A: yeah totally, now its got a clock face haha
S: I feel like I'm going to sneeze
now is not the time while I'm trying to do a Brick Demonstration
A: can't sneeze while I'm laying bricks
S: look at this right
Chisel tip. Bricks.
isn't that cool!
BRICK
that's such a quick way to cheat bricks
ooh I'm really proud of that
A: Take that BRICKS
S: that's all I wanted to show you, I'm all out now
Adam's just found Winsor Red on the floor and I want to nick it Adam: NO
A: it was like in my folds and I stood up and it went BOOP *falls*
S: we've been using a carmine pink colour because we'd lost that red
A: We finally have a red!!
S: OH are you actually going to use the window?
A: oh see, it's so much easier guys S: do you want a back rub while you do it? A: NOO
A: I've given you a big dent in your head now
S: oh is that because I given you a back rub? A: yeah
S: heheheh
it's a bit awkward when the ole neighbours go past though
S: okay I'm going to try draw you now but this is going to be so hard because I've already drawn me
A: that's a massive ear, it's almost as big as your eye!
S: oh no I need room for your eyebrows A: how could you forget those!?
S: I think I need to colour in some more forehead for you now
A: my head ends where your shoulders do
do you want to talk about how my head makes up half the size of your entire body??
S: hahahah!
A: I'm gonna get a complex! S: I think that's something you need to talk to your doctor about not me haha!
S: I might draw you with some shopping bags because you have been shopping next to Big Ben!
A: "You'll never guess what i bought from Big Ben!!" S: Hahaha!
S: I wanted you holding my hand but I never really planned for that!
S: Let me... A: My hand will have to be awkwardly pointing up?! S: Yeah haha
A: You have to keep me at arms length or my massive head might bump into you!! S: Hahaha!
S: You're not filming this to talk about your little arm are you!? A: Well I have a little arm but I have also noticed I have bricks on my shirt?! S: HAHA
S: Well I really like my brick technique from Big Ben! So I was like "Oh! I will try it on Adam's torso!" A: Oh she is going to have the hots for me! I have bought her a mini Big Ben and I have bricks on my T-shirt!!
S: Aww that looks so cute!! A: I'm trying to make you look cute!
S: I'm surprised you haven't done you hair yet.. A: Yeah! I need to do my big eyebrows too!
A: I might have to do what you did and raise.. S: And extend your forehead?! HAHA A: Extend my forehead o__o
S: I think that's why you ended up with such a big head in my drawing... A: I thought you meant in real life!!
A: "and that;s the story of how Adam got a massive head.." haha!
S: When he was born everyone was concerned that his hair line was too close to his eyebrows .. A: We must operate!!
A: RIGHT what do you want to show everyone so badly?...
A: What is that!?
S: I thought I would do some city doodles! Can you guess what this is yet?...
A: It looks like a bagel?.. S: Haha! Can you guess yet?..
A: Oh! It's a Jammy Dodger! S: Yeaaah! haha! A: What's that got to do with a City though?..
S: Because I'd like to eat a Jammy Dodger in the City!! A: Is that it?!
S: Oooh I need to think of some other English doodles!!
A: it should be on a doily! S: Doily Date! hahaha!
S: do you want to do a dooi.. doiill.. doi A: Great doodly doily!
A: You will be so proud because the camera thinks that Big Ben's face.. is a face!
S: Oh wow! It's recognized Big Ben's face! A: It's like: "OH MY GOD IT'S BIG BEN"
S: Let's focus on this! Haha A: Let's focus on his face! Haha
A: Look at my hairy legs!
S: You've given yourself hairy legs!? ... Yup! A: Those are some hairy legs!
S: Nooo camera stop trying to unfocus while I watch Adam do hair! It's my favorite part!
S: Look at the cite details I have been putting on mine!
S: I did a little floral cup, and a train ticket.. A: The train ticket! I really like the train ticket! S: And a flag!
S: And I even did my little Brick Technique on the floor!
S: I should of just done my entire piece as just a brick wall! Haha A: Haha Welcome to England, where we have brick walls!
A: And a bit of blush.. S: Is it because we're in love!?!? A: I think so!!!
A: I need a lighter green colour.. S: OOOH you might want some Sap Green!!
S: Adam do you want to tell people about Sap Green?? A: NOOOO noooo!
S: Becaise I actually ordered some Winsor and Newton watercolours earlier on in the week A: And I was reminded about it every single daaaay...
S: And my set didn't come with a Sap Green and I had to order one and it taken sooo long to arrive!
A: Yeah to your defense it did take a very long time...
S: And every day when he was checking the post I would be all : "Adam! is my Sap Green in there?" HAHAHA
A: No we have got bills though! "What abut my sap green!?"
S: And when we got send these Pigment Markers I taken a picture just of this pen! A: It was just the Sap green one! No it's happening again!!
A: The Sap Green's coming back! S: Noooo you just hit it when I'm trying to focus on it! A: *punch punch*
S: It's the first time in my life that I am defending a green!
A: Yeah! Because usually you don't like using greens!
S: Just because I don't like them doesn't mean I don't have to use them ;)
S: Ooooh! Ooh that's so pretty!
A: It has come out.. quite well! Considering the colour I used to put on it!
S: Are you going to do any kind of greenery at the bottom?..
A: I was going to try and frame it with some leafs and things yeah! S: Aww!
S: The shot that I had of you I only had your nose in shot! haha!
Noooose!
S: A triangle coming out of the side of the camera!
S: Ooooh greenery! Is that a Sap Green you are using?! A: OHNO
S: Look at you actually using blending techniques! I don't think I used any in mine...
S: This colourless blender is so much easier to use than the one in alcohol markers I think!
S: I really like what you were just doing with the grass so I want to try it with the sky! But we only have really bright blues!
S: But since Britain is known for being kind of foggy anyway I'm going to use a really light gray A: I think you will only need a little bit! You can drag it out!
S: Do I need to shake off the colour of this? A: Yeah I would because if it's green it will look like someones farted in the air!
S: Oooh there is still some green in that!! A: There's just a little bit of fart in the air... S: OOH look at that! It's all blending out!
A: You know we did our faces really scratchy.. I think we were only supposed to put a little in and blend it out... S: Yeah probably!!
S: It's cute that you can tell as the picture has been progressing we've started to get the hang of how the medium works!
A: Yeah! Because we have never used them and it would be nice to use them again now we have a bit of a better understanding as to how they work!
S: Yeah maybe we will film another video in the future where we are a bit more... acquainted with them!
S: They're a really cute touch!
S: Your drawing is really sticky because it's full of colourless blender! A: HAHA
S: We actually have another video up on our second channel! I'll link above if you didn't realize we have a second channel!
S: Orrr if you want to see some more romantic collabs that we have done... A: Is that what we are calling this? a romantic collab!? S: Yeeeah ^_^
S: Thank you Winsor and Newton for sending us so many pens!
A: Yeah! We really appreciate it Winsor and Newton! The person we spoke to there was Georgina so we really appreciate it! Thank you!
A: DOOOODLE DATE!
S: Look at this at the end of my drawing I'm finally learning how to use these pens! A: Thank you Winsor and Newton! We figured it out!
S: And the neighbors got a free art demo! A: Oooh yeah!
