  • hi guys

  • it's a very hot day, here in hastings

  • it's sunday

  • yeah, it's probably like 3 pm

  • and today, i have a very chill

  • and relaxed day

  • i am quite sleepy, actually

  • i might

  • i might make some coffe later

  • aah, but

  • i wanted to just like, spend the afternoon with you guys

  • because

  • i don't know i just want to

  • hang out with you and like,

  • not talk about anything

  • i mean we're still gonna talk a lot about nothing but,

  • [laughs]

  • so, i think guys

  • that the good thing

  • about having someone that is

  • helping me during the week on my shop

  • and

  • uhm

  • packing stuff and going to the post office

  • is that i finally have time

  • to, i don't know like draw for

  • draw for pleasure

  • and update my instagram more frequently

  • and today i think i just wanna draw

  • and create content for the upcoming week

  • for my instagram

  • i take instagram in a very weird way

  • because instagram is sort of like

  • my hobby?

  • [giggles]

  • in the sense that i, what i draw

  • is for pleasure. i draw whatever i want

  • because instagram is not my job

  • so i can basically do whatever i want

  • but i like to take the time to create

  • meaningfull content, for me and for you guys

  • so, i want to spend this sunday afternoon

  • not only filming and spending time with you

  • but also drawing so,

  • let's go to my living room

  • like i said, today we're going to work together

  • on a couple of illustrations

  • these are very casual illustrations

  • by the way guys, ah

  • so this is my sketchbook, i don't know if

  • i've ever shown you my sketchbook

  • in this channel before

  • yes i have

  • this is something i usually do for my patreons

  • there's a bunch of kids yelling outside

  • anyway, it's summer. let the kids enjoy the good weather

  • [laughs]

  • so this is my sketchbook, i am almost at the end

  • of my sketchbook, guys can you believe it

  • and

  • so this is how it looks like

  • usually when i work on my illustrations

  • that i upload on instagram

  • i use the copic and

  • promarker pens? markers

  • this is like my portable to go pencil case

  • these are the markers i use the most

  • and as you can see i have a very defined color palette

  • i don't know if you can tell, but they're mostly

  • pinks and purples, blues

  • and

  • grays

  • a couple of yellows

  • i mean maybe i can show you the last one

  • so this is the last illustration i updloaded

  • to my instagram

  • ah, ed and i had a really nice conversation

  • about leg hair

  • [laughs]

  • i mean you can see the whole thing on my instagram

  • but it was so nice that you guys

  • liked that illustration

  • usually when i go out

  • i draw with my trusty old prismacolor color erase

  • this is a classic guys

  • you maybe sick of me talking about these pens and pencils

  • because they are the same i use

  • over and over again

  • i–i haven't mentioned this before guys

  • but i'm trying to use more erasable pencils

  • from other brands

  • this is the erasable ah,

  • staedtler

  • in the shade

  • aaahno there's no shade

  • but it's the red one

  • [laughs]

  • the quality is very similar

  • to the color erase, to the prismacolor

  • so if you can't have access to the prismacolors

  • because i know they're h–they're a pain in the ass to get

  • you can get the staedtler ones

  • because they're really good

  • ah, and also for outlining my illustrations

  • i use this muji pen, which is my favorite one

  • and yeah, today i have no plans

  • i have no ideas, i have no idea what to draw

  • but we'll figure something out

  • [white noise]

  • [sometimes interrupted by sound from a tv show]

  • [white noise]

  • what can i say about the process

  • behind my instagram illustrations?

  • i try to, do my best

  • in terms of colors

  • so, as you can see my color palette is very

  • when i say defined it doesn't mean

  • it means that i tried to be as restrictive

  • as i can with my color palette

  • because i've noticed that everytime i try

  • to use ALL the copic markers i have

  • oror old promarkers i have, the illustration

  • doesn't have a cohesive look

  • so what i try to do is restrict my color palette

  • as much as i can, and from that point onwards

  • i paint everything i can

  • so for example, even though this is not

  • my ahcolormy exact hair color

  • it's the one that i use for my cheeks and my elbows

  • and my hands,

  • for my shoulders sometimes

  • so i try to do all the details that i can

  • with the least amount of colors possible

  • and i've found guys, that this is the best

  • advice i can give you color wise

  • because you won't ever have

  • all the copic markers in the world

  • ah

  • that is an advice that i try to

  • [snickers]

  • that i also try to follow when i am painting

  • in photoshop

  • so for example i always like to have a color palette

  • a restricive color palette

  • in photoshop as well, because in photoshop you have all

  • colors avaible. but i've found that the illustrations

  • that i like the most

  • they have a very restrictive palette

  • like from other illustrators

  • i think the last time

  • that i purchased copic markers, i tried to go

  • for a more,

  • lilac purple palette because i'm trying to find

  • the best shades for shadowing

  • i don't know if you can tell

  • but this time this illustration does have shadows

  • which is something that,

  • shadows guys, they always freak me out

  • because once you do a shadow

  • with markers, or with watercolors. there's no way back

  • [laughs]

  • so i don't know if you can tell but

  • ah, every once in a while i do swatches

  • in the lower part of the page

  • so i make sure the color that i'm choosing, for example

  • ah, the base of the color

  • which is the best purple that matches

  • that color

  • so whatwhat is the best purple for shadowing

  • that particular color

  • i make sure to write down all the samples

  • and all the swatches of the colors

  • so i make sure the next time i already know

  • which is going to be the best shadow for

  • that particular color

  • and i make a mental note

  • and i hope you enjoyed this process

  • i know, uhm, i haven't done one of these in a while

  • let's draw something together and i really want to

  • go back to let's draw something, because

  • i really wanna draw with watercolors again

  • with you guys

  • so, let's make something fun

  • tell me what to draw and i will draw it next time

  • this will be a small challenge for all of thus

  • all of thus?

  • all of us

  • so i will go back with watercolors

  • in all the splendor

  • i'll make sure to paint this painting this weekend

  • so, just like write in the comment's section
