 Hello everybody and welcome back to the Average if you're new here welcome My name is Steph on the Average Artist and today we are looking at unicorn milk This comes in a beautiful little package like this It's very sparkly and looks like a carton of milk, which is really super cute It opens at the top and it has loads of pictures on the side and stuff and information about the product Which is really cool mine came a little bit banged up, but that's kind of normal for Postage anyway opens up like this at the top and inside you get a little wooden stirring stick You also get Some instructions, I think and then you get the paint itself so here it is Comes in this bubble and it is unicorn milk Basically it goes over the top of some paint and it makes it super pearlescent and beautiful And I'm really excited to try this product out. So let's get into it. Okay. These are not instructions. This is just like Some little jokery about the unicorn sanctuary and how all these unicorns have not been hurt In the making of this product. It's just like a little joky thing. Which is quite cute, but you know totally useless to me so I thought we'd start out with doing some sketches and I'll run you through what I've been working on. I've been working on some concepts for a short Horror and apology kind of thing So I've got three short stories in mind of the kind of horror comic I want to do and I know that I want to do it in this style. I Just running you through it If you're a patron you've already seen all this because I share a lot of my patrons if you're interested check it down below But this is my sketchbook how it's going at the moment the process Um Yeah, just getting really into the idea of doing this if you've been following along, you know That I'm doing some horror comics and there's three short stories basically and one of them will have It will be set in the 90s and it will kind of have a girl Sort of looking like this and I think her bedroom will be very 90s So we like to sort of design Some 90s scheme of a bedroom or something like that that would go with her style and maybe we can use the unicor milk to kind of Bring out some spring sparkle Sorry about that for this. So I think that would be really cool. So let's let's try it out. Shall we so I've got my Amazing Tombo mechanical pencil. This is one that I got from Japan and I've been obsessed with it I really like using it. I used to hate mechanical pencils But now I've gotten really into using them and I know that's a super interesting fact But some of you some of you like to hear these facts. So I'm gonna go with that I think what we're gonna do is kind of design some sort of like thumbnails of her room and then maybe use the unicorn milk within that sort of Sketch so I think what I really like the idea of her room being like completely cluttered and messy because I think This character would be kind of a messy person Looking at 90s stuff was really fun So I think that was a real breakthrough for me when I was like, oh, I could just you know, I can draw whatever I want That's a that's a good thing to know This doesn't look very messy yet, but it will when I kind of plug up this area a little bit But all of these are gonna be short stories. It's three short stories And so we don't really get to know the characters too deeply within the story I'm hoping that like the backgrounds and stuff like that will really be able to Show a bit of a personality more than them because there's gonna be quite limited dialogue I know that one of the stories is gonna have absolutely no dialogue So you have to tell it through showing like a lot more so a lot more movement and Just reactions and things happening in within the the comic itself is gonna tell the story rather than any dialogue Which is gonna be tough, but I think it will be a really cool thing like one story will completely differ from another So I think that'll be a really interesting thing to do Okay I know that this paint is supposed to go over paint But I think what I'm gonna do is just like use my Outcome markers and then use this on the top and see if that works out So if you know my old previous comic Emily is burning You'll know that it kind of had a limited Colour palette and then changed in other areas So I want to keep like a really limited colour palette for this one. I think and then get a bit crazy In the in the next ones guys will go on so I don't know we'll have to see you Okay, so there's my really quick pencil Bedroom sketch and I'm gonna dive in with using the unicorn milk. Let's try it out So it does seem to lay it down, but I don't think too much is happening Maybe it just needs like a really really dark under color Recently bought a load of these polychromos pencils. So I'm gonna be using this to kind of block out Colours Of the drawing and I really like this kind of like loose messy line work style. I think it looks really Visually interesting Something that I would probably enjoy reading. So that's kind of like why I do it Yeah, do you like the way that it's dried? I think it looks a lot better dried It's kind of cool makes me feel like maybe this comic should be like shiny If that's even possible like is there a place to print Where some pages could be like really Not holographic, but kind of shiny like this That'd be interesting If just one story you had like really really shiny pages and what and another story was like dull colors But like interesting looking that might be fun to do you guys let me know if you know printer Does that kind of thing? There's a result of the first one I do have to point out that the unicorn milk is supposed to be used on acrylic So I'm being a bit cheeky trying to make it work with these alcohol markers here So I'm not surprised that it wasn't like the best results But I'm gonna try it on a darker set of pens and see what happens And then if nothing works and I'll use like acrylic paints, I will see we'll see how it goes So here's what I'm thinking I like this drawing But I really want to go like crazy with the unicorn milk now and see what it looks like totally Covered in this stuff, and I think it would look quite fun Obviously, I'm gonna use it in like selected areas So I want to use it in the background as if the stars are out and then I'll go over it with like something else I'm not sure just playing with it basically Not using it how I'm supposed to be I'm aware don't get cross I will test it out with some acrylic in a moment. I just wanted to see if I could bend the rules with it Also, it's given me like such a good idea to Try and have like Holographic-ness on the page I guess that would just cost a lot of money though to like print it But that could be really fun. I'll see I'm gonna do some research later especially for like this kind of super quirky 90s Make See it's showing up like a lot better on this dark color, and I think that's probably What you're supposed to use it on not just like light colors. So It makes sense. I think as well it dries like a lot Sparklier, I don't know if that's the right term more pleasant. I think that was a mistake Putting a big blob there, but oh well So yeah, I think it looks quite cool. I'll probably finish this page off later and upload it to patreon and see What those guys think but yeah, this is kind of nice I like this idea of the shininess and I think it does work with this style. It's really girly and quirky Very 90s I would say I'm gonna try it now and use it with Acrylic paint as it is supposed to be used and we'll see what happens with that But this is how it turned out with the alcohol markers me cheating the system again And yeah, I kind of like it to be honest. It looks nice in a sketchbook. Let's get down to the acrylics Some of you eagle-eyed people might notice that is now the next day. Um, I think it's pretty obvious I got tired and I am filming now. It's fine I'm gonna do a really quick like abstracty acrylic painting with these paints And then I'll use the unicorn milk and I think that will be pretty cool I wanted to use like a pretty limited color palette with these so let's see how it goes Okay, I have now allowed this to dry slightly I think there's still areas where it's like a bit soft But I'm gonna add the unicorn milk now into the areas that I think would make it look cool Um, I just did some like random design, but I really like the way that it looks Yeah, I'm just gonna Kind of go for it Because like I said, I think it looks better on like dark colors or it's more obvious, so I really wanted to put like a layer of this dark blue going across This sort of random colors. I think it would look nice to have it covered in this unicorn milk This pearlescent color anyway What are your thoughts on this so far? Let me know down below I'm interested to see what you guys think because I'm kind of in Two minds about it as well. Like I'm a bit I'm sure if I Like it or not. I think it's kind of fun to play around with but I'm not really sure what I would do with it in my everyday kind of like artwork like I said, it would be cool to have this kind of Shimmery effect on like a comic page, but I wouldn't use this stuff But yeah, I bought it because it looked fun and I wanted to test it out for you guys But yeah, I'm not sure What I would use it for but yeah, it's it's cool. It's pretty cool. Um, it's kind of working nicely on this color Let's see what it looks like over here. If I just use like a little bit to give a shimmer Okay, that's kind of all I want to use really I don't think it needs too much more I'm gonna let this dry and we'll see how it looks at the moment it kind of looks like white paint really which is Not really the effect that I wanted Okay, so it did dry a little bit differently than it looked a second ago It kind of came out to like this silver color. So let's see how pearlescent it looks This is how it looks with the light It's quite cool Yeah, I like it. I think it was quite fun to use. I do like Doing abstract stuff. It's quite fun But I don't know if it has like that much meaning for you guys But I really enjoy just doing random brush strokes like this and I think that looks pretty cool Let me know what you guys think and yeah, we have the comic style ish of the rooms with the Paint used on it and then we also have the abstract piece Which I think came out cooler than the comic stuff just to my personal opinion and that's the unicorn milk So if you guys would like to check this out.
