What up gamers, it's me your boy pogchamp and I'm Kevin and today we're drawing 90s characters from memory from our brain our little memories I was born in the 90s, but I don't remember it.

Modal verbs - A2

Past simple

Your character is Arnold from Hey Arnold.

Oh There you go, I have his head in my head, but I don't have his body in my head Who from Rugrats, oh His last name is Finster.

Ah, I would bully that kid Jason what shape is Arnold's head?

I'm just trying to remember all the details that make Dexter Dexter.

Yeah, let's not go that far now I'm like forgetting his face his eyes.

Okay, so Arnold's like the chill, dude So his eyes are always kind of like he's got his lids closed Like halfway Nicktoons was always they always had like the cooler Um Cartoons Nicktoons had like ah real monsters and Rugrats which felt safe It always had like adult jokes in there hidden in there somewhere Yeah You know I didn't watch a lot of Rugrats But the Rugrats that I did watch I remember not liking his character because he's like he's like whiny, right?

Yeah, he's like the worst Rugrats character.

What was great about Hey Arnold for me Is that Hey Arnold took place in like a city?

Yeah, I was born and raised in the in the Bronx Yeah, and it was it was great to see a show that reflected that I reflected that so the city that's in Hey Arnold is actually a mix between New York and Seattle.

Mm-hmm, which I always thought was super cool So you didn't watch Rugrats?

Yeah, I used to watch it a lot when I was younger I would say not as a kid cuz I mean I was kind of in high school Getting into college from Dexter was coming out Rugrats and like Ren and Stimpy was like the end of my My Nicktoons watching and then you discovered girls You gotta live life without any shame Everybody knows why incognito mode exists Wait, what?

You know, it's funny You never remember what the feet look like a lot of the time his boots are hard Like I remember them but I don't think I'm getting the shape quite right doesn't he wear like big chunky shoes chunky finster Am I right ladies?

We open the door and let some of these puns out one thing that I remember very distinctly about Dexter is he's like super square The character designs on Rugrats were like super freaky.

Yeah, like they were vaguely unsettling I think it was probably a product of its time.

It was like that the era of squiggle vision Yeah, I don't know what that is.

I just pretended like dr. Katz anyone squiggle vision home movies a Thing that I've struggled with a lot on here is remembering the small details of characters clothes I'm totally making this close-up right now.

I think he's wearing like a flannel shirt underneath though.

I remember flannel He has something on his shirt.

Oh And his hair do you remember anything about his hair he's got blonde hair, yeah He's got like big frizzy hair, right?

Yeah, he has like big orange hair He's got like, you know when you're drawing something poofy and it has like that little circle in the middle of like where the tears Are where it's like?

I don't know what I'm drawing I think I'm mixing up Chucky and the aliens from Toy Story The aliens from Toy Story have like three eyes and are green Chucky Finster is a human child.

Yes I remember actually asking my mom when I was a kid what accent Dexter had and she said that it was a made-up one But I think I think it's supposed to be like Transylvanian, right Gigi's look at this beaker.

All right, I'm in some French I can't wait to see yours.

I know I can't wait to see what you drew My final touches is this cigarette and making his eyes kind of red Because he's high.

So Jason we feeling more confident about this one.

Um, yeah, I Know it looks like Arnold it's Okay You know, I think it's getting closer to what He probably looks like I think I'm done.

I think I got a lot of the details wrong I'm pretty sure the color of his shirts and his diaper.

I put him in a diaper He may be wearing shorts, it's Arnold he's an adult and he's had a hard life That's so good.

Oh Yeah, this Arnold's chill as heck I like this guy Why is this diaper purple though, I don't know I feel like he needed a purple diaper I love his expression you nailed the character like that's totally That's totally I'm jealous.

You're the body of your Arnold feels like the real Character design.

Yeah, you gave him like you gave him like a human body A Straight-up anatomy.

Just why wouldn't you I immediately make the diaper white?

And as soon as I did that I was like, he's probably wearing shorts.

Yeah Yeah, I think your brain is mixing up concepts.

No, I think it's great Thanks, I'm not gonna lie to you though.

I don't think it's very on model Maybe that's true, but I tried my best you did try your best You got the dinosaur and like I said, it's not on model But it is very cute and you were right about yours it being vaguely unsettling vaguely unsettling I think I'm more disturbed by the diapers than anything.

Oh Oh, no, wait, his hat was blue Okay, wait, I feel like I remember his hat being no, maybe it was blue I was I did remember a lot of things.

Yeah, I somehow remembered that his nose was pointy even though I started drawing it round We you did too.

Yeah, I got the pointy nose and you got the gloves You got the gloves and the boots the boots.

I sorta got the boots Did I give him shoes in my drawing you did you gave him a little purple shoes?

Okay, yours yours is actually like really close.

Like it's just if Chucky was pants less Your your design is spot-on except for the different color of the the feet.

Okay, so here's the thing there was something on his shirt But it's a planet not a dinosaur.

We both got the glasses, correct Yeah, and you got the eye style right in that it's just the glasses with the pupils in it Yeah, I think it's it's it's simple But it's deceptively simple and that you've got to get all those details right or else it's not Dexter I think we did pretty good for two people who didn't really watch Rugrats.

Nobody can tell us that we did bad except for the internet You
