 Am I Joanna CD yet? You know, I'm curious All my lip balm It's all gone. Also, I forgot to turn these string lights on but just so you know, they're there Hey bitches, my name is forced social distancing because that's what you should be doing if you're not doing that. What the fuck? Guess somehow Americans are stupid. Anyways, I see a ladybug outside Which is great cuz that means spring is coming, but I'm not allowed to enjoy that apparently. I Really hate this if you cut that with my video since the beginning of this year and if you're not Choices you know this video has been in the works for months and I mean three whole months I originally filmed this intro during the beginning of January, which I look a little bit different clearly But the intro somehow fit magically still like somehow the footage is accurate to what I'd say at this moment It's a bit creepy, but I'm gonna take it as I'm omnipotent or like I'm opening my third eye finally and currently what I see in the future is I'll just play the intro. I know the world is going to hell. That's all I have to say So let's paint I'm gonna make a lay hearted video because last week was kind of sad and I don't want any of that energy with me I am a dedicated user of TikTok that doesn't mean I'm proud of it And I noticed the art videos consist of a lot of memes Absolutely incredible drawings or just entertaining things and a lot of it is Minecraft now. I've played Minecraft for so long This is my original mouse pad. This is the first merch I ever bought from anyone I've had this for over a decade now So Minecraft is close to my heart now if you play Minecraft You know that there is a lot of paintings inside the game and a lot of them are small and they're literally pixels So it's not that hard to paint not that hard to paint now I could have painted one of the easier paintings on this canvas, but I thought That's not satisfying enough for me. So I went to Michaels This is a two feet by two feet canvas and I'm gonna see if I can paint the biggest Minecraft painting in the game We're gonna look this up. So currently there are 26 paintings inside the game And there are three large paintings the one that I think everyone knows about is the skull and fire It's 64 by 64 pixels, which Who am I kidding? I'm not majoring in math 4096 pixels which means I'm painting 4098 squares on this by the end of this video before I do anything I'm just gonna draw 64 lines across here and here and basically create a big-ass grid So I'm just gonna skip. Okay. I was actually thinking about doing this off-camera, but this is harder than it looks First of all, I'm really not good in math. I got a C plus at the end of my senior year So this canvas is 24 inches and I need 64 pixels This is like those math problems you get on your SAT that make no sense 24 divided by 64 point three seven five So each inch no each pixel is point three seven five inches I'm gonna write that down gotta take notes 16 pixels multiplied by 16 16 pixels is equal to six inches I got it I'm gonna make one line down the middle and then one line down those halves and just keep splitting it until they all look like Squares I'll see you in two hours much later. Okay. I think I highly underestimated how big This canvases if you can't tell the Sun has officially set took me around an hour to do this And then 30 minutes to eat lunch and the 30 minute nap I went through three pencils and I don't even have anything painted yet, and I don't know if you can tell but these aren't perfect squares I don't think there's a single perfect square on here. There are the rectangles or trapezoids That is because halfway through I gave up using a ruler. I want another thing to ruin my day This isn't 24 inches long. This is 23 point seven which completely threw off the math So thank you for wasting my time Michaels. I know I'm not gonna buy my canvases from now on I'm just kidding. They have 50% off sales every day But if you thought this was a tutorial it kind of is it's just a what not to do when you're trying to paint something like this Oh, and this is what it did to my back So I looked up the painting again And I could have done it the easy way and just painted the realistic version But no I'm deciding to paint every individual pixel because I'm stupid and I have no anywhere to begin So I think I'm just gonna start off with the moon because it's a square So bear with me while I count how many pixels it's down. Oh shoot There's a black border around this whole thing and I don't know if it's part of the painting or not I'll be right back. Two very boring minutes later. Okay, I can confirm the black border is part of the painting Part of me really wishes I just drew this you probably can't tell what's going on here But this is the moon and these are all the flames I don't even know what my own markings mean But as long as you can figure out where to draw that's all you need for this And if I get in front of the painting don't complain because I refuse to paint like this the whole time I'm using this as the stand so I don't have a place to put my paint now I don't know if you can see but it's balancing on top of a drawer right now So I just start off with red red. Okay. Let's begin. God damn. This is gonna take two layers So I'm painting this twice which means double the time, you know when I was coming home from college I really thought that I would bring my paint brushes with me So I have the most janky paint brushes you can ever think of. I'm pretty sure it's for oil painting because listen to this It doesn't apply anything smoothly at all. My finger can do a better job in this 4092 squares to go. The problem is you have to be amazing at painting straight lines because if you make one little mistake Like I've already done it will not look good at the end I don't know if you can tell but I'm not in a good mood right now I'm going to keep my positive attitude that I promised I'd do more in 2020 I think it's fine. Everything is kumbaya. I really thought I could do this in one day. Oh my god. This is not happening Oh, no, we have a coat orange That is like neon orange on the bottom of my carpet right now good thing I don't let my parents inside this room, but they're watching this. Sorry mom I swear this is not sponsored, but piracy you natural stain remover is great for paint. Alright, that's all the orange And I'm just gonna wait for it to dry go over it again waste another hour of my life watching friends And I'll see you soon Hello, welcome to day two of working on this stupid project So I took a break for a whole day just to figure out how I'm gonna go about this because I realized I will die before I finish this painting if I just paint every pixel So like always I'm gonna try to do the least amount of work and use up the least amount of time because that is how We got through high school if I want to make every pixel show up I'm deciding to just paint a green strip a dark green strip and then a blue strip and from there I'll change the colors how I want I'm also gonna be responsible and put a towel over my paint for once because we know What happened last time so this first part of the clip is just me trying to erase all the excess graphite on the canvas Let me know if there's ways to get around this like besides having to erase because I want to know how to be able to see my Markings but not have to have them smear all over the painting guys My paintbrush felt again two accidents now, so I don't know if you can tell but the outline of the skull is right here I'm gonna see if I can just finish all the fire because I'm done using red yellow white and orange it's just gonna be a lot of layers and Taking time because today I actually made these squares look like squares So yeah, I'll guess I'll see you when the sun sets again I realize I should probably use one of these because I bet my peas and bees are really pushing it right now Venus back to my frustration over the lack of opacity that these paints yield. Hmm. Why do I sound like I'm writing a essay right now I was just trying to get rid of all my extra paint because I have a better ones now on the original painting the yellow And white inside of the fire is different colors like there's actually ten different shades of yellow But each of them are just like one drop of black one drop of orange and I had the commitment to change the tones of the orange and red But I guess I gave up it would look the same one camera and no one's gonna see it close up So I don't give a shit so it is now the end of day two This is what I've gotten done so far So every particle of fire that should be on here has been colored shading wise I kind of gave up because I was looking at it and I thought I'm not mixing 50 different types of yellow I'm just gonna leave the yellow as it is And if I want to add like one drop of black into my yellow paint I will that is literally how I got each different color. I would dip my paintbrush just Barely in black day three. We're gonna work on the skull I think nope. That seems too hard to we're gonna work on the background There's still a little bit of pencil showing through but trust me three layers of yellow is as much as I can handle before my sanity goes to zero I am tired. I'm sweaty. I've spilled an embarrassing amount of paint on my pants So this is my attempt at keeping my paint wet I put my palette over it and then all these things over to just to keep away down and if I lift this off Hopefully this paint is still wet I also sprayed it down with water just to keep it moist because I don't know This is cheap acrylic paint the Asian in me wants to save every last ounce. Hi Welcome today for of working on this really awesome painting that I will like in the end Yeah, I am in the same outfit as yesterday. Don't worry. I did watch my underwear. I just took a shower That's why my hair is I did my skincare routine and I'm so calm and ready for bed But instead I have to work on this stupid Fucking painting in the past three videos. I've had lemon water, but this time I have strawberry water Obviously, I didn't record this part, but I did do it during my paint with me video because it was just boring I was just laying on the base colors and it couldn't even finish it All I want to get done today is finish the blue here and get the base color of the skull down Which is just great. So before anyone judges what I'm doing right now I realized after painting the fire that this would all take two coats at least of paint So I decided the base color should just be similar to what the actual color would be and because the painting is divided by the sky Dark trees and then the grass. I was like, hey, just paint base colors for them And I'd say definitely helped it made things easier But while doing that I also lost every single marking that I made so I wasted a lot of time If anyone has any tips on how to do it better next time, please let me know I just wanted to paint a Minecraft painting and this is what I get just a constant descent into madness and chaos like that's It's not good. It kind of broke me and my back and don't ask me why I shaded the skull part white and part gray I don't know either welcome to day five right now. I just want to get this done so I can feel good about myself Here we go So I wanted to start off easy and I was like what is the smallest object on here the moon But one problem I ran into instantly was the fact that I don't have a royal blue So I couldn't make it as accurate my blue that I was working with was more of a slightly green and in the painting The blue had more of a purpley undertone almost so you don't have to shade match perfectly for pixel paintings Like no one's gonna look at it and go hmm. I see done two shades letter of a blue than it was on the original I'm not gonna buy it now like if you do that. You're just a bitch But it's hard I don't know how you'll do it on tiktok because I dipped like two Bristles of my paintbrush in black and I try to mix it with some blue and it came out gray instantly Like I don't know what I did wrong like I didn't mix my colors prior to painting it I did it spontaneously like I only put blue white and black as my base colors And what I've concluded is black will always be the most pigmented color and white will never make a shade lighter No matter how much white you put in it. I ran through half my tube for this whole project Okay, now we get on to the grass. Oh, and if you're not even looking at the video Which you should be because this is a painting video and I put so much effort So if I'm in the background while you're washing your face I mean just keep watching and watch the ads I gotta save up money somehow and why you're still a bitch with you know that lack of aid. I'm not salty I'm just pressed I did the math and I think this took actually 40 hours to paint Which is kind of sad you think painting squares would be fast But no it took two layers for almost every single shade and I had to take my time because the paintbrush I use was janky like it didn't pick up any paint Also, can someone make a list of all the videos I watched during the time it took to make this painting because if you Just look on my iPad. We speak through many you got Jenna Julian podcast. I watched him Curtis Connor I watched anime at some point so for the grass I was actually following the exact colors on the actual painting and then I realized who the fuck would know the difference So halfway through I was like, you know what stop looking at a project just go for it Obviously I looked at the painting as a whole to figure out You know what shades to use because on the right side it's a little bit lighter of a green But before that I would have to zoom in on the painting and it wasn't good quality. I Broke my eyes doing this. Okay, somehow. I still had a bad resolution even though it squares But I was slowly moved the screen across trying to keep track of every single color I've used I would lose track of time and I would also have to recount because you know, I don't have a good memory So I wouldn't recommend staring at the painting print it out Print it out, please so you can actually like mark which ones you've done, you know that because that's a smart thing to do Okay, I get it. I'm not smart You don't have to sound off in the comments But what I was gonna say was I painted from top to bottom and just did it by columns And I don't know which way was better like on TikTok you guys go around the border, which is cool But I don't have the patience to mix 80 different colors because on my palette. I only had five colors I had white three shades of green and then black and I managed to make all these different shades because every time It makes a new color I would add some random color in there just to make it different once the grass was done I went on to do the trees in the background and the trees were kind of weird because there wasn't really like a Definition between the lighter green trees and the darker green trees. They kind of just blend it together So I decided let's not reference it. Let's just make it look like it's all one big You know orgy of colors and even though I split up the trees into two parts I still managed and this is me bragging because I'm proud of this I managed to make it look cohesive because I am such a good painter Oh and side note color correcting this shit was Dumb so don't remind me that in some clips. I look red and other clips I look yellow and green I painted this throughout so many different times of the day and it's I changed seasons halfway through I painted this during morning afternoon night cloudy thunderstorm. Okay, so there's different lights worth dealing with Oh this this is a mess. Okay, don't I don't know what I'm doing here with the moon I think I started to lose motivation because when I looked at it. I was like, hmm I don't know what to do with it. I don't know why I didn't go top to bottom I think it was because the way the moon was supposed to make the area around it look brighter Look too difficult to replicate So I thought painting the whole area light blue would make it easier for me because I would just be painting around the moon I mean it looks good now, but it was torture doing it because I was so slow I don't have anything to say for this clip except for the fact that this went from Afternoon to night you see golden hour go away During this whole clip like it's pretty to look at but I also spent five hours sitting in that goddamn chair My ass is flat I had to do so much work to get it back to where it is now you guys and the lighting is so bad here because you can see They're acrylic paint shine and then you can't really tell which color it is But I basically gave up because I realized hmm. This is the background I still have a whole skull to paint and I'm already over this because I've been doing it for two months at This point so my intelligent mind came up with the idea that maybe I should just blend all these colors together in the background It's not the main subject of the painting Realistically, it should be blurry. So all the colors should be meshed together So I started painting the colors in chunks and like really big chunks before this I was painting each square Individually and then I would move on to the next one a minute for each square But I cut down at least two hours just by painting like ten squares one color and I made random shapes for the chunks Just so it didn't look like I did on purpose and to be honest I can't tell that big of a difference looking at it from here So I'm not complaining. I saved my back from breaking that night I was also running out of blue paint and I did not have the energy to go back to Target and buy more now I get to the big finale the fucking skull painting that took me Can someone help me learn how to mix colors on the painting It's mainly different shades of white and it's like an undertone of yellow an undertone of blue green orange But I literally put one drop of orange into a bucket of white paint And it would still turn out as bright as it did on this skull same thing with the blue I just really need these to be diluted more white paint should have more pigment and I know it That's probably not gonna happen anytime soon because it's supposed to be lack of pigment But this skull is borderline rainbow because of how colorful it is. It's gay now. Okay. He likes boys and he's dead I'm not mad at it when I looked at the final product But it's just it was still annoying doing it because I spent five minutes mixing a color and I could never get pure white It was always like a darker gray. You know, he has a little more melanin to him Overall though, it looks fine. You just have to like convince yourself that it'll work out in the end Like I was convinced this skull would not have a nose because I thought it looked so weird painting it And jump cut to when I finally returned back from NYU and had time to paint this This could have went into the summertime. I hope you know that this time I brought new brushes Thanks to u-pen and could hold pigment But you know the thing is I got so accustomed to the paint brushes. I was already using that I could not paint a single square They were more Ellipses I used a flat brush and it worked great. I mean honestly so smooth and looking at it right now Yeah, I did paint everything blue and I had a feeling this side would look a little bit different from the other side Because you know, it's been like a one month difference the way my eyes look at this painting is probably gonna be different But it is considered shadow. So it looks fine It was really easy to finish this last portion because I Realized that looking at my iPad they painted some colors and chunks So I was like, okay, if you're gonna do it, I will and now we get to the grand finale I almost forgot that I completely left the border blank because it has to be black So I took painter's tape. Yes, it's yellow. What else do you expect from me? I lined each border and then painted it with that same brush that I used and I bet you're wondering Frederick Why didn't you use a sponge brush? I did I tried it It soaked up all my black paint and I had to use two layers whereas the paint brush took only one layer So don't test me children once I finished the border I looked back at the painting and I debated redoing the sky because I was like, yeah It's kind of noticeable that I did in chunks now But one way to easily skip that is to be lazy and paint stars over it because what I learned in graphic design Class is that if you put a pattern over a background it makes the background less apparent and it fucking worked I also don't mind the white stars. I think it's a nice touch. It's like my own taste, you know, it makes it different I'm not directly plagiarizing. I know. Okay. I know it's not an original painting But did you think I really was gonna make an original Minecraft pixel painting ever? Oh, actually no well Should I if this video gets over a million views will think about it So I present to you the finished Minecraft painting Here's what it looks like I put over three layers of spray over it because this Is not allowed to look worse over time This has to look the same because I don't plan on redoing this ever again. I don't know where to put it It's taking up so much space in this room. Don't ask to buy it for me unless you're gonna pay like my whole tuition I left those string lights off the whole time you guys Do I redo my whole voice over again? Just so you can have the string. No No, let me know what else you want me to do I have so many more canvases to paint and I have all the time to my world because oh my god I'm getting dizzy because I'm not allowed to leave this house Or hang out with friends So that's all I have for you guys today If you enjoyed give this video like leave a comment down below Subscribe for more videos every Saturday and maybe wednesday because I might be posting more Which means you better hit that notification better Smack it. I love you guys and everything is less than three now. I need to test something for you guys Oh my god, what if I did another ASMR video?
