hey guys we've already done a few paper squishies but this
time i thought we'd make some digital switches
basically taking digital drawings and turning them into paper squishies i've never really done
digital art before so this will be interesting hopefully i'm not too bad though because this
video is sponsored by simban's picasso tab i'll be doing an unboxing a review digital art and paper
squishies a little bit of everything sprinkled in thank you to simbans for sending me this tablet
and for also making the treasury very happy so i'm here in my living room with a sharp pointy thing
here's the amazon box it came with now available on amazon.com
not the box the sim bands picasso tab but also the box too free amazon box with every tablet purchase
you got nothing to lose whatever you want it's all on amazon i'll leave links below
it's upside down that's backwards
i decided to redo the shot just to get a better reveal
uh what is this we have to but for the last time my name's not maya there's a card in here with a
kitty cat on it that's cute they also sent a little thank you card as you may know part of
the sales proceeds of our simbans products goes to sponsoring life-saving surgeries of children
coming from less privileged families so not only do you get a free amazon box you also
help save a life this just gets better and better i thought you guys needed a better look at the cat
and there's also this goldfish girl on the back i'm pretty sure both of these were made using the
sim bands picasso tab okay that's enough of that and here's the star of the show we'll put that off
to the side for now it comes with some accessories quite a few accessories actually we've got a
charging cable here it looks like a usbc cable a triple a battery wait a minute is that a quadruple
a
and here's the pen it has some nice weight to it also plug adapters in case you live anywhere
other than america hi and this is the other piece to the charging cable it's the part you plug in
pretty self-explanatory the tablet comes with a pretty nice case which is pretty cool because
normally you have to buy them separately it's a one-stop shop at some point nothing to lose
nothing to lose the case has a nice leathery texture to it it seems like good quality the
tablet comes with this glove it's supposed to help you slide across the tablet when you're drawing
it also comes with an instruction manual to help you get started if you're a noob like me
just kidding i won't be reading it either but it's there just in case
which is nice and now what you've all been waiting for the simbanz picasso tab
it's very reflective hi there that's me and that's my camera an unintended behind the scenes sneak
peek for you you also get a good look up my nose i apologize for that and you can see the cameras up
here i'm just gonna cover it up because someone's always watching whether you're naughty or nice
the tablet has a nice grayish blue matte color on the back we'll go with pretty much any kind
of decor you have it has a horizontal kind of layout which makes sense because it's
supposed to be mainly a drawing tablet oh there's another camera nice try sneaking that one in there
you thought i wouldn't notice you can see all the little buttons on the side
volume and power buttons and all that good stuff i'm just gonna stick it into its case
it fit in there perfectly i actually did some research before taking this sponsorship and it
seemed like the case was a little tight before you really had to shove it in there it does seem like
they've made some changes and improvements over time which is cool to see they must be watching
this video just not through those spy cameras i covered up so i turned this on and it said the
battery was dead but then it suddenly jumped to 87 uh i'm not sure it might just be because
it's the first time i'm turning it on i'm gonna give the picasso tab the benefit of the doubt
hi there there's some initial setup things which i'll skip through since i know none of you want
to see my top secret information i've been wanting to do tons of different kinds of paper squishies
for one i wanted to do paper squishies made from digital art so i figured this would be the perfect
opportunity to make some some of these squishies might even be familiar faces or at least they
should be i guess like i said i'm not that great at digital art i'm pretty beginner level in fact
i had to watch a lot of tutorials on how to use autodesk before filming this video they've helped
a bit but i'm still learning so keep that in mind if you're horrified by my work or techniques
some of you guys might be a little confused since you may know i went to school for graphic design
i just wanted to clarify that graphic design is not digital art at least at the school i
went to it was more about the branding and just kind of learning how to make things look nice
like layouts and typefaces and logo kind of stuff i know i could have just recorded this video from
the screen to make your viewing experience better so you don't get the whole glare and everything
but i wanted you to suffer also i wanted you to be able to see me using the tablet since
that's what the video is really all about i feel like paper squishies turn out best when
they're just a big simple circle or oval shape so keeping that in mind i thought it might be cool
to make some of my characters inside circles like their faces are smashed inside a circle
for each one of the paper squishies if you haven't guessed already this first one is honey
aka booboo's better half she'll be making an appearance shortly for their eyes i made
them look slightly more realistic than i usually do when i draw or sculpt them
i'm just kinda exploring with the app and seeing what i can do this was the first one i did it went
a bit slower this round than some of the others i got a little faster as i went in this digital art
version of booboo she looks more friendly and happy obviously looks can be deceiving she'll
still bite your arms off if she gets the chance booboo and honey are missing their trademark
bow and horns i just figured they wouldn't have them if they're smashed into a circle
i think you can still tell who they're supposed to be even without all the extra frills keeping
up with my obsession with gnomes i brought back smelga and paul again say it again say it again
i recently used them as decor in my apartment so they're just kind of fresh on my mind
this first one is gonna be smellga they're already goth gnomes but i feel their digital forms give
them more of a skater aesthetic which is cool too i'm not complaining just going with the flow here
my girlfriend thinks smelga's head is shaped like a peanut which okay fine that's fair i can see
that if you're new here and you don't want me to pelt you with peanuts you should consider selling
your soul to me by subscribing to my channel and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose
me on the internet i post new videos every friday for paul i reused some of smelga's key features
they have a very similar sense of style anyway of course paul just looks more creamy he's
adorned with his gorgeously groomed beard his mascara might make it look like he's been crying
paul never cries though he's too manly to cry he just throws on his mascara very sloppy with
it he doesn't care he's already won smelga over she ain't going anywhere so he doesn't need to
try as hard anymore in my first create this book episode i made a evil grim reaper throwing around
some confetti the prompt was to make confetti so that's why he was partying so hardcore i'm
drawing him again his digital art form is more rounded kind of fits better with the circular
paper squishy look i'm going for this time he's slightly off center i want it to look like he's
looking up while throwing confetti he doesn't have his original eyes i gave him heart eyes instead to
show how excited he is to throw confetti clearly this is the grim reaper's favorite pastime
don't question it you don't know him like i do i'm copy pasting booboo's little rosy cheeks
i figured he could use them and then of course i sprinkled around some confetti to really capture
the moment i've made several different versions of voodoo dolls and bears one of them was on
my first painting on shoes video a couple weeks ago it's bb cutie insisted i bring back buttons
buttons is this guy over here for those of you who need a little refresher i thought
buttons would make for a good circle paper squishy since he's already mostly a circle
one thing about this picasso tab is that when using it for drawing and filling in
certain parts like painting a big chunk at once it kept making the app crash
honestly i'm not sure whose fault that is not entirely sure if it has something to do
with the tablet or it's just the autodesk sketchbook app but i did want to mention
it because it kept happening whenever i tried to fill in a large area at once
so this definitely wouldn't be good if you're trying to do a big complex painting or something
like that but to be honest i think this tablet is more targeted towards beginners like myself anyway
and i think it's a pretty nice tablet if you're starting out and want to learn
digital art that was really the only problem i ran into while using it sometimes i like
giving buttons an open mouth with stuffing falling out so i went back and added that
he's not foaming at the mouth he's just falling apart it's normal finally it was time to print out
all my work so i could bring my paper squishies to life and as usual things didn't go quite as
planned
apparently my printer's messed up so i had to run out to print these you guys know the drill
by now i lined up each character with another piece of paper and cut them out then i taped up
the front and back together making sure to seal up all the edges i did try cleaning up the edges
as best as i could it's not as easy as you'd think things don't always turn out as clean as
you'd like but the good thing about paper squishies is that you'll be crushing them
anyway so no real harm done once they're all taped up you just leave a spot in the butt
and then stuff them full you can stuff them with foam plastic bags holly fill stuffing
leaves bodies that you're trying to hide i've heard people stuffing them with all sorts of stuff
it's really up to you i prefer to use memory foam you get the best squish from it in my opinion but
to each his own thank you again to simbanz for sponsoring this video so here's today's batch of
paper squishies they kind of look like little pillows to me that's pretty cute i mean evil
i think my favorite out of these is paul i have mad respect for the guy they're all getting
along quite well with the others i have a pretty decent sized 2d paper squishy collection going
