Speed Drawing: Secret Flower

[imakawaiigirl]

I love this pic!!!! ..... and secretlifeofabionerd.......

[LTCJ2006]

Very beautiful image!!! I was wondering why did you use a red pencil though? :-)

[Tejina91]

I have a question. Is the mat you are using to draw on one of those Alvin cutting mats? Are they nice to draw upon? I'm just asking because I'm looking for a decent mat for my desk that won't feel funky to draw upon.

[BayleeCreations]

@Tejina91 Is Alvin a brand name? Mine is Martha Stewart, but the name doesn't matter. But yeah, it's very nice to draw on.

[Tejina91]

@BayleeCreations Okay. Yeah, Alvin is a brand name. But thank you! I needed a second opinion. :)

[jezg92]

Hi, i speak spanish, you drawings is excellent and beatiful, you are great artist :D

[JLTrickster]

Hey BayleeCreations I was wondering, when your doing a video do you plan you drawings out? Because I did a test video and when I was drawing I kept messing up on the drawing always erasing, you have any tips on doing videos like you do? Also how long does it take for you to finsih a drawing on camera? And does it sometime feel weird when your drawing and the camera's like almost "staring" at you after a while? Sorry for asking so much I'm kind of new to recording stuff and all XD

[BayleeCreations]

@JLTrickster Well if I'm planning on filming a drawing, I don't normally sketch it out ahead of time and then redraw it. But I make sure I know generally what I want to do. If you start out with rough, light lines like I did (you don't need a red pencil) then you can make mistakes without having to erase. Leave the mistake there and draw a new line. Then you can go back over your lines later to make them darker. It's not like the first lines you lay down are going to be perfect

[BayleeCreations]

@JLTrickster but erasing all the time wastes time.

The time it takes to finish a drawing depends on the complexity. This one was really simple, so the sketch took about 10-15 minutes. The inking took longer though because I was moving slower to make sure my lines were in the right place.

And no, it doesn't feel like the camera is staring at me because it's pointing down. Plus I've made a lot of videos, so I'm used to the camera.

[JLTrickster]

@BayleeCreations Thank you for the tips and really it takes that long for you? That's awesome and you did a great job inking it! :D

[LadyRuinsXOXO]

i made a youtube account just to ask you this. so plzz reply. What is the light thingy that you use at 2:26?? I wanna get one o.o

[BayleeCreations]

@LadyRuinsXOXO It's a light box. Most art places have them.

[LadyRuinsXOXO]

@BayleeCreations THANKYOUTHANKYOU :) Your an amazing artist btw ^.^

[MsGanoo]

Why do you start with a red pencil? x

[BayleeCreations]

@MsGanoo Because it's waxy.

[citty427]

@BayleeCreations Oh sorry.. No u didn't. It was just a fainter line than the other eyelid.

[citty427]

Great drawing. You forgot to pen in the other eyelid.

[BayleeCreations]

@citty427 What? No I didn't.

[survivethis101]

can you try and draw a creeper from minecraft?

[hiphopxlover]

@survivethis101 i hope she does that would be AWESOME!

[BayleeCreations]

@survivethis101 I don't know what that is.

[survivethis101]

@BayleeCreations its a monster from a game called minecraft google it

[BayleeCreations]

@survivethis101 What I mean is that I'm not going to draw it because it's not something I like or know.

[survivethis101]

@BayleeCreations ok i was just putting it out there as a suggestion of something to draw

[PhamtasticAlena]

Why do you use the pink? I am not really good Witt this sort of stuff sk I don't know.

[BayleeCreations]

@PhamtasticAlena It's a red pencil. I used it because I am used to using it since I need it for my animation class. It's good for sketching because it's waxy, so it glides really nicely on the paper.

[MonkeySmoothy]

@BayleeCreations That's sooo awesome!

[pikachugirl16]

Hey Zkitty, can you please make other tutorial how to draw manga male body and can you draw different manga hair style like wavy, curly, or

[ilovekyokyoxD]

i love your band aid!!!! hello kitty is my favourite!!!!!!! :D

[MsBleachFan101]

nice drawings as usual baylee!

[artgonzgonzales]

wat happened to your finger

[BayleeCreations]

@artgonzgonzales Cheese grater got me bad.

[ThornB3rri]

@BayleeCreations lol, once I tried slicing cheese with a spoon. It wasn't the smartest thing to do...

[BayleeCreations]

@ThornB3rri Ffffffffhahahahahaha

[keepdrawingmanga]

You are such an inspiration. My drawing style is nothing like yours yet you inspire me so much. I would really like to know how you get your inked lines so perfect. Mine always end up wobbly and the sketch looked so much better than the finished result. :( Please help sensei :))

[BayleeCreations]

@keepdrawingmanga You just need to go back over the lines a second time to hide your mistakes. Mine was far from perfect, but I did a second pass to make it look a lot better.

[earthtiger12345]

This might sound very strange, but I really like the face shape! It looks really nice! 

[BayleeCreations]

@earthtiger12345 Thanks :)

[llSLIMll]

@BayleeCreations How long have you been drawing Manga? You are very good!

[BayleeCreations]

@llSLIMll Thanks! I've been drawing it on an off for about 6 years. I never used to draw a whole lot because I was either too busy or too lazy, so my progress was slow. Now I'm taking my drawing more seriously, so I should start improving more.

[llSLIMll]

@BayleeCreations I love drawing, but manga is so difficult to deal with humana anatomy, i dont know how to begin..Any Tips??

[BayleeCreations]

@llSLIMll Try learning anatomy from real life, then apply it to manga. Looking at manga to learn anatomy won't get you very far.

[llSLIMll]

@BayleeCreations OK Thanks(: Ill try that and keep you posted on my progress..

[BayleeCreations]

@earthtiger12345 Derp. Just replied to the wrong person.

[JLTrickster]

What do you do with your drawings when they're finished BayleeCreations? :D

[BayleeCreations]

@JLTrickster For some reason I thought I already replied to this, but I don't see the reply! When I'm done with my drawings I'll either put them in a drawer, an accordion folder, or in a portfolio. I don't have my accordion folder here, so most of my drawings end up in a drawer, haha.

[JLTrickster]

@BayleeCreations Oh really? Same with me on my drawings with thed drawers, also you have any tips on how to have a camera set up at an angle like you did for a camera that looks like THIS:

amazon.com/dp/B0031RGKX0/ref=a­sc_df_B0031RGKX01868396?smid=A­TVPDKIKX0DER&tag=pg-258-86-20&­linkCode=asn&creative=395097&c­reativeASIN=B0031RGKX0

Becaue a tripod won't give me the angle like you do for yours with the light that you use, DX Hope you can help if you can't I understand

[BayleeCreations]

@JLTrickster I don't think there's a way to set up a big camera like that without a tripod.

[pwndulquiorra]

Okay, two things.

First, I love your drawings. I'm really and truly impressed by your work.

On a completely unrelated note, however, I just want to know, what happened to your thumb?

[BayleeCreations]

@pwndulquiorra Thanks! My thumb go sliced by the prickly side of a cheese grater.

[pwndulquiorra]

@BayleeCreations Okay then. I'll be sure to see more of your videos (though I may not always comment, since I have a habit of avoiding doing that) and you be more careful with sharp objects. You don't want to hurt yourself anymore. . . Or, maybe you don't, I don't know, I can't be sure. Anyway, I'll check out future videos and you be careful.

[christheawesome100]

what happend to ure thumb baylee? :O

[BayleeCreations]

@christheawesome100 It got cut by the prickly side of a cheese grater.

[maddiepix]

Is there a trick to outlining so well????

[BayleeCreations]

@maddiepix Do a first round of lines, then go back over them to make them look less shaky and to make certain parts of the line thicker.

[BlueMustachee]

U sure like these kinds of songs ^^

[BayleeCreations]

@BlueMustachee Well I don't want to use any songs I don't have permission for and I suck at making my own songs.

[JLTrickster]

Amazing I love how it turned out in the end so beautiful!!!

[LilScar727]

baylee your amazing when did you want to get into art?

[BayleeCreations]

@LilScar727 I've always been into art, but as a kid I did a lot of crafts as well, so I wasn't focusing on drawing. In high school I started focusing more on drawing and then in college I was way to busy to draw much. But now that I've switched programs, I get to draw a lot more :)

[RoseChan789]

Why do you have a band-aid on your thumb?

[BayleeCreations]

@RoseChan789 I was drying a cheese grater with a towel and the prickly side caught my thumb. It bled a lot haha. What is that prickly side used for anyway?!

[RoseChan789]

@BayleeCreations Ah, I can't stand too much blood! (Unless it's in an illustration and whatnot, then it's perfectly fine.) Uh... I think it's used for grating more cheese, or just perfectly designed to make you prick your fingers, either one.

[BayleeCreations]

@RoseChan789 Well the side that cut me was not one of the sides used for grating cheese. My roommate says it's for tomatoes, but I don't understand how anything can be grated using that side, haha.

[RoseChan789]

@BayleeCreations Tomatoes... Never would have thought of it.

[LuckyStarKimimo]

awwwwwwwww hello kitty bandaid
