 Hello everybody welcome back to another nerdy draws um first of all I'd just like to apologize for the fact that there wasn't one of these last week last week was super tiring after the Tentaday, and that's really no excuse. I really should have gotten it done, but I know I suck It was really with the with the arrival of school that I kind of effed up so I'm back on track now that I'm used to school again So let's hope that doesn't have to happen again now. We're just waiting for summer vacation so we can have a good time So for this speed paint, I'm drawing the fire keeper from Dark Souls 3. This isn't a character I know so I can't really elaborate much on the game she's from or The character that she is I actually got this recommendation from my boyfriend. So shout out to my boyfriend for giving me this character to draw Um So I drew this character. Yeah, I definitely drew her look at that drawing her right now. Anyways, um so I this one was actually kind of a little difficult to draw But it was really fun to draw like I've never really done realistic care before I actually usually avoid them It's usually like the second like the last thing I do because it's so difficult for me I don't really know how to use it But I actually looked up a tutorial this time and was like whoa This is actually surprisingly decent and I didn't do very good on it because this is my first try But like I did better than I've done on other videos. So like that's always a plus But I followed the references pretty closely Which is kind of the kind of the reason why I even asked my boyfriend in the first place What I should draw is because I need to draw more with references and especially some some like these so And this character was not anime looking. She's not flat. So I can't draw her with flat colors So I kind of had to go all in on this and try to make it a little bit more realistic and Hopefully a little bit more realistic than the past videos I've done because those those I feel like have been kind of failed attempts at Realism so I hope this one's at least a little bit better Also, I would like to just announce that I have Put up social media pages and I now have a store and a patreon So the store is gonna be selling With fan arts fan arts is just gonna be sold as posters That's not gonna be put on anything but any original works that I have those are going on like shirts and stuff Which I have a drawing coming up right now that I just posted on my patreon The drawing itself is for patreon users only but to get it on the shirt is obviously not only for patreon users I'll have a link to both the store and the patreon in the description below if you would like to Help me out a little bit on there, even though there's only like I think six people Entirely that watch my videos, but you know Maybe one day I'll have a little bit more than six videos six Viewers and maybe one day I'll have lots of followers on patreon And I'll be actually be able to make a living off of art because that just sounds like a good time You know it's like a great time, but I mostly opened up the patreon and the in the store envy because I'm trying to kind of get a head start with crap like that I don't want to be out of high school and then be struggling which I absolutely will be because you know artists That's artists being struggling Because they always are nobody nobody ever appreciates art for what it is but I'm Trying to get a little bit of a head start on that just so I can Maybe be at a better place sooner than most that's really helpful thinking I know but I'm trying my best Anyways, so I have those open right now I think I have like three products on the store envy and then I have on my patreon Really nothing there because nobody has subscribed to me yet. So As soon as I actually get like patrons and stuff I'll actually start posting because what's the point of posting things if you have no actual patrons You're kind of just giving rewards to nobody So that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna wait and there's tears and everything Not like tears as in like crying tears, but like tears as in like cake tears something like that I don't know if that's a good way to explain it, but anyways What was I gonna say I was gonna say something specific. Oh, I have the also I have the Music description in the the music link in the description below Which I highly recommend listening to because this was a great song. It was a really good piano cover I'm glad I had to actually look that up because it ended up being up really nice So that's going to be in the description and not in the end credits so that I could have When I make the end credits I don't have to change the music every time and it cuts down a lot of time on editing these videos Once I'm done which is good because I'm usually stuck editing these videos at like nine o'clock at night And then they take like an hour to export and then an hour to upload to youtube And I can't exactly leave my computer just hanging in that time So I'm trying to make the process a little bit quicker so that I don't have to spend so much time on editing and exporting and uploading These lips. I actually wasn't happy very happy with these lips like of everything that I drew in here I was kind of happy with the hair but with the lips I didn't seem like I drew those right like they almost seemed too light or something but um So those are kind of bothering me for a little while actually And with this with the drawing I actually tried to like overlay the clothes Where I was going to put it over and then I realized how much of a dilemma that was It was big dilemma no fun So I ended up having to actually erase a lot of the layers that I had like the neck layer right there I had to erase that Just a question for you guys. Does this look at all like the firekeeper? So I feel like I tried my best and it didn't actually go very well Um, oh this part this part the necklace. I'm actually not drawing here. The necklace is going to be done later But um drawing the necklace you'll see later on was actually It was one of my first times actually drawing metal And so I gotta be honest when I'm drawing stuff like that Stuff it you don't realize how much you don't draw and how much You don't know how to draw it until you've done Leading back towards the 10 a day challenge until you've done the 10 a day challenge because I drew a bunch of things That I've never really drawn before and I realized how many things I've never drawn before because you'll see artists That are going in there like drawing things and they'll be like, oh, yeah, I've done this before That's so fun But really the only thing I've ever drawn is buildings everything else I'd never drawn before so I'm trying to kind of get um A little more experience with objects So hopefully this necklace turned out good. You'll see that in the end though So you guys can critique me on that and see how I actually did um The clothing I got I think I got um a little lazy on But I did figure out that if I use watercolor on it. It looked a little bit natural So it's aw crap. I think I forgot to add the border to that I'm literally pointing out all my flaws so you guys can just judge me like I feel like if I didn't If I didn't point these out, you guys would have been like, oh, yeah, just cool drawing You know whatever but I have this mighty need to point out literally everything that I do wrong But oh well, whatever It's a good time This part was really difficult this part because I didn't really know what I was doing and so um I had to keep referring to the reference and even then I didn't even use the reference to the fullest extent I just kind of put dots everywhere, but I'm not see right here. That's why I have to I'm not good at metal and I've never really done metal before especially intricate masks like this And I didn't want to spend hours and hours and hours Doing this so I kind of had to find a way to simplify it without making it ugly and not look like metal So hopefully I did good on that. Um, I learned to wear to put the shines and that's always nice I think I don't think I was supposed to use brown though. Also, how do you guys think of the lighting? I tried to make a lighting element anything further from the left side is like a It's like a dark brownish kind of color And then anything closer to the lighter side is Like a pinkish color because it's supposed to be like uh like a lighter color right there also Which is by the way, shout out to turquoise tea for turquoise tea for literally putting up, uh, um A tutorial just for me because I'm so inept at color theory and shading and everything That she had to actually make a tutorial just for me and then I think she actually posted that so check out her tumblr, por favor um Huh this part was actually kind of fun. It was weird, but it was fun Also, I think I do a background in this at some point which Actually, see this is why I think I was going to do the background But then I realized I forgot to do the necklace and here it is the necklace me doing that Super radical necklace that is actually probably just decent at best I hope you're proud of me boyfriend. I hope I did justice to this character, which I absolutely did not Whoops, sorry about that Hey, I think I'm almost done Oh, no, this is just me feeling a necklace This part was actually really fun because it came out like I wanted it to and I did I thought it wouldn't but it actually Didn't that was pretty nice so We're nearing the end of the video guys basically just check out my patreon my story and me and everything I'm gonna have linked in the description below I'm putting in the background. This is like orangish brownish lighting Um, also, this is the first time I've ever done like real backgrounds So that's pretty nice But anyways, yeah, so we actually are nearing the end of this video So I I hope you guys enjoyed If you'd like to see me draw like something put it down in the comment section below. Thank you all for watching Bye
