 Hey guys, we are here with part one of three for the creative arts collaboration hashtag event Which is hashtag? Poggest art I will include the spelling of that hashtag in the title and Description and maybe an extra text box somewhere in the video like right here for you all and Don't forget to go to the YouTube search box put that hashtag in and a bunch of videos are kind of going to come up now If you want to search the hashtag event for specific kinds of videos like painting or mixed media or art journaling put the August collaboration hashtag in then put an additional hashtag in with that Kind of creative thing you're looking for painting or our journaling or whatever it is And you'll get some specific videos that come up, and I think they're going to be a lot of fun So anyway, we are going to work on some sketching. Yes. I know that's different for me right sketching I went to paint my photo and I found this cute picture of a bunny Isn't he cute and I printed it on my husband's printer because I like the way his prints on these big Glossy prints better than mine Don't tell him I used his ink But so we're going to work on an artistic rendering of this bunny I'm going to prop it up right here so I can see it We're also going to use just some basic sketchbook paper This is a pad I got on clearance at hobby lobbies a Strathmore 200 series sketch pad 100 sheets it was clearance for 239 and then this is a Coynore Geoconda drawing sketching toning art set This is one that I carry around with me actually in my drawing bag and doodle bag when I feel like Not working with pens and working with pencils and other stuff And a set like this will serve you really well for this project And future projects it has a lot of really great stuff in it A nice variety of different kinds of pencils including a charcoal pencil different types of Hardness of regular graphite lead aquarelle pencils some Colored charcoal or pastel pencils. There's a sepia light sepia dark red chalk and a white It's got a blending stump Some different kinds of charcoal and graphite sticks as well as some colored Pastel or charcoal sticks again sepia light sepia dark the red and the white and a kneaded eraser Really, the only thing it doesn't have is a pencil sharpener So if you want to get into sketching and drawing if you get this a decent pencil sharpener or pad of paper You're ready to go and this kit you can just you know carry around with you It comes in a nice little tin So no, it's not sponsored by the company. This video is not sponsored by the company I just happen to really like this kit. So That being said You can get these at michael's and you can use a 40 off coupon. That's how I got mine And we're going to get started. So for this first part of this video Part one of three we are going to just start with a standard to be led And I'm going to go get my reading glasses because I forgot them Um What was I going to say? So Before I get my glasses So you don't have to have this kit you can have a two unique you're going to need a 2b pencil a I'm going to use a 2b a 6b The charcoal pencil the blending stump the eraser And probably some of the colored You know charcoal or pastel pencils now Um, I I know you can get some of these colored pencils like in a set Um by themselves And then if you have a regular like 2b pencil Which is just your regular school pencil and you've got a piece of charcoal Something to blend with and an eraser. You're probably good. Okay, so you don't have to buy this kit you can Use what you have Reading glasses so I can see what I'm doing Okay, I haven't been sleeping well. So my tired my eyes are tired in the morning And it's hard for me to focus. Okay So for this first part of this video I'm sketching this bunny and we're concentrating on the bunny And not on the background. We really just want to do the bunny. So And he's just cute. So I'm gonna and I you know what I want this to be in Frame both of these so you can see what I'm doing All right, so I'm going to just work on sketching the shapes now. I'm net I'm going to keep my pencil light to the paper No digging any holes to china with your pencil And I'm going to start with just lightly just sketching out his back lots of sketching lines I can see his this might be a little big if I put his head. I don't think I'm going to get all his ears So let's Make it a little smaller I'm just lots of light sketchy lines and that way if you do that and you make it too big you can You know the light sketchy lines are easy to erase Let's put the head in can you hear my dog barking because you know God forbid the neighbors next door should be able out to have to do any yard work speaking of animals He's a kooky dog My eraser Got some smudgy marks on here from some previous days Drawing practice there we go So now we're going to put the shape of the head in And I'm just copying the shapes that I see in the photo don't Don't freak yourself out so much about the fact that oh my god. I'm trying to draw a bunny Just copy the shapes that you see And focus more on copying those shapes than on the fact that you're trying to draw a rabbit You know seeing I'm thinking And this is what I mean, so I'm just making lots of sketchy lines And you're going to spend some time and you're going to just keep refining your shape until you get it looking exactly the way you want So one thing I'm noticing right away is that the back is too high So I'm looking at the relationship of where his back hits the back of his head in relationship to the shapes I drew on my paper So then his belly starts about here And just keep working on refining the shapes I think his head might be too big Erasing some of the extra lines So I can get a better idea of where I'm at with regards to his shape And his back foot is touching his front leg So I want to make sure as I'm doing the drawing That I'm getting that proportion in there His tail is not showing. It's tucked up underneath him. I think so Let's try to draw those ears Now let's put some of the facial features in start with the nose again, I'm not I'm just copying the shapes that I'm seeing Some lip action here. There's actually a little hint of a tooth showing Just keep working out your sketch Until you get it looking the way you want. Let's put the eye in and see how the nose looks so the eye It's got a really big beautiful eye wrinkles in the fur here Which I'm just going to hint at It's pretty good. There's some lighter fur like ridges around the eye Put some of those in. There's also some little subtle details in the ear There's some darker Stuff here. I'm just laying the pencil on the side Just putting in some graphite shadows where I see them on the sketch I mean on the photo I knew what I meant. You guys didn't know what I meant There's also some You can see some of his tails. So once you have some lines that you like firm them up go over them Adjust them And just really work at it until you get something that you're really happy with Once you get a shape that you like Then you can join me for the next step and we'll finish working on our bunny have fun with the cac hashtag event and Go visit some of those other channels because they all have some great content going on right now And when your eraser gets dirty You just do this to it need it. It's like a piece of clay. That's why it's called a kneaded eraser All right, I'll see you all in the next video in part two. All right Don't forget to go out and have a great day.
