 okay guys here we are back with our first daily drawing in our kids arts and crafts video series while we're all asked to stay sheltered at home right now i'm sure you're all doing what you need to your due diligence and doing your schoolwork and minding mom and dad or grandma and grandpa whoever is home with you that you're practicing your letters and your numbers and your reading if you're older that you're doing your math and your algebra i'm sure you are but in the meantime rather than just sit in front of the tv which i guess is this is the one circumstances maybe circumstance that maybe you can do that maybe you would like to do something creative some arts and crafts which is why i started this series to begin with so we're going to start doing some daily drawings in the video just before this we showed how to make this little little daily drawing little sketchbook if you don't have a little notebook to sketch in and you want to just make one with some stuff that you have around the house that you have mom and dad's permission to use um i showed you how to make this you will notice that i glued some of our um embellishments we made in one of our first videos we made a whole bunch of these and um then we made a card with them and then in another video we did a journal page um i took some of my extra ones and i put them here on my cover which i really like the way that looks i usually always do something to my covers here's one of my other ones from downstairs i put stickers or something on them i do have usually a piece of hard plastic that i put between my pages when i'm drawing because i do kind of sometimes tend to press really hard and i don't want to make marks on the other paper you don't have to have this but if you have a hard piece of plastic or maybe um like you could totally use this this is a piece of a tissue box um so if you've had a cold or a flu you've probably got a lot of these around you can just grab a piece of that tissue box or cereal box or something before it goes in the trash you just need a little piece that's about the same size as your piece of paper um you probably want straight edges on it so you might want to have if you're younger you might want to have somebody help you cut the edges like that just fits a little bit better and then put it underneath a piece of paper that you're going to draw on and it just it gives you a harder surface to draw on you're also going to want a couple pieces of scrap paper of the same kind of paper uh as your notebook if you made your notebook this is kind of it's not super important but um it for me it is um my notebook's not quite dry because i'm filming this the same day i made it so we're going to just do that um so for me what these are important especially if i've made a notebook out of a new kind of paper other than i'm used to is i want to know before i do my drawing what pencils pens and markers are going to show through the other side because i usually like to do a drawing on the front and then i like to turn the page and do another one on the back but i don't necessarily want the marks from this side to show through that side so for instance if you just take a colored pencil and make some marks you don't really show through right but if i took let's try the ballpoint pen this is just a big pen but any ballpoint pen they're pretty good too but if i take one of my crayola markers what's that going to do that kind of shows it's not too bad now if you're old enough to use a sharpie this is going to be bad it's going to be it's just going to be see the sharpies bad so you want to know what's going to show through and what isn't you may not mind the marks when they show through but it might bug you um so i recommend a little tester piece of paper or two in your stash okay so our first word on our list word number one is breakfast now i'm a grown-up so i usually just have coffee and maybe a banana for breakfast or a cup of yogurt or something so the first thing i do is i write the word at the bottom i don't know why i do that because the words are here but i just always have written the words at the bottom probably because i do um two three or four different little sketchbooks every day and i usually write all the words and then i have them all stacked up and then i just work at them one at a time i don't know all right so we're going to draw a little picture of my breakfast now whatever you had for breakfast you want to draw something like that but i had like i had a bowl of yogurt so i'm going to draw a little bowl i'm going to draw like an ovally shape here you could totally do this in pencil if you if you want to draw some lines for the sides and they're curt they're tilted in just a little bit and the bottom here is curved just a little bit it's not straight i'm going to draw that handle of a spoon sticking out and in the back we'll do a cup of coffee so it's a similar shape you start with this like funny oval i'm going to have one side of the cup go straight down so look at the look at what you had for breakfast pull out the bowl and take a look at it look at the cup that you had your juice um i i sometimes will take a picture of it while i'm eating if i'm not going to do the drawing right away and then i will go back and i will look at the picture on my phone so if you're old enough to have a cell phone one thing you can do is while you're sitting there at breakfast take a picture of your breakfast then eat your breakfast then when you're ready to do your drawing look at what you see in the picture and draw what you see don't try to try to draw all the details it doesn't it's not about drawing the details okay i'm going to put a handle on my cup add some shadows by putting some lines in now if you're not sure what to draw for some of the prompts take your word whatever the word is go to google or go to Pinterest if you're old enough to get on a computer type the word in and then type simple drawing now if you're not sure how to spell that so you're going to type the word in and today's is breakfast right so take the word off of the list hopefully they're spelled correctly my spelling is not the best but i think they are right and then type simple and then drawing type that into google images or Pinterest and see what pops up and then take inspiration from what pops up for an idea of what to draw i'm going to draw some steam coming off my coffee so i like the shapes of that so now i'm going to darken some of them by just pushing a little harder with my pen now some of the lines that's pretty good now i want to add a little bit of color color for me really makes the drawings pop so what do i want to use for color looks like i can use my crayola markers because as long as they don't get them wet they don't show through too much now when you're using color in your drawings let's do this first so let's take out the black one and the silver one and the brown one all right so we've got gold which is kind of a yellow we've got a blue kind of a bluey purple a ready purple and a green right so and you also can show this maybe a little better with the crayons so the colors that are warmer that make you think of sunlight and summer the beach would be the yellow the red the lighter green the gold right maybe sometimes the light blue the colors that make you think of shadow and cold would be that's a red one would be your darker blue purples and your dark purples and your darker greens so their shadow colors these are highlight colors suggesting lightness and brightness and warmth so when you're coloring your items i want you to think of using your cooler shadow colors in the darker places the shadow places on your drawing and the lighter brighter highlight colors in the other parts so i'm going to actually grab the yellow crayon and the paper is yellow so i don't need to do too much of this i also almost never color in the entire drawing when i'm doing these i just add a little bit of color to emphasize and highlight my drawing to accent my drawing so i'm using two different colors of purple this one's warmer than the other one and i would leave it at that that's cute so that's my breakfast drawing i would encourage you to give this a try and see what you think our next drawing will be face we've done faces yeah so try doing these every day i would love to see what you do if your parents give you permission to share with me that would be great you don't have to i will be trying to do one or two of these daily drawings every day for right now going forward so it'll keep us all occupied hopefully and add a trouble right out of mom and dad's here all right that's it for right now go out and have a good day do your schoolwork mind your parents and do something creative it'll help you pass the time and i'll keep you occupied i hope don't forget to go out and do something nice for yourself and maybe mom and dad you know you deserve it and so do they that's it for right now see in the next video bye guys
