 Hello everybody and welcome back to the average or welcome to the average if you've never Been here before I guess maybe some of you might visit from other people's channels because this is the first time that I'm doing the YouTube Artists collective as an official guest and I'm really excited and I'm so pumped to do this and Yeah, it was great fun. So this is what I came up with this time round theme was verses And I was so stuck on this idea because I was like what am I gonna do? I don't want to do like a fighting game thing because I don't really like fighting games So why would I go for that and then I thought I would do a city within a forest So it's like the cityscape kind of versus nature and then I thought that was a bit too ambitious because I kept trying to do That I tried to do a couple times digitally and I just like got really bogged down with the details and stuff So in the end I decided to go with this abandoned house and the premise of the story behind this theme is that it's a Mansion and people have taken over the house and taken over different rooms And they're all fighting over the house and had a lot of fun with this premise as you can Hopefully see you with the final piece at the end, but at the moment. I'm just drawing out I found a house that I quite liked the look of on Pinterest and I'm drawing it out here and what I really liked about this house is that I had all these like different style of windows and It just looked really run down and the paint looked really nice the way that it was blue and it kind of like oxidized In places and I thought that'd be fun to play around with and just do different splats of color and shapes and Textures and stuff and if you've been watching my channel for a while I remember when I first started doing my horror comic during these old abandoned creepy houses was something that I was really Enjoying and interested in and it led to the inspiration of the horror comic So doing that was like a nice little throwback and I was like, oh, yeah, I remember I really liked doing this So I just drew it out with pencil and try to get all the proportions right and the perspective because I'm not amazing at perspective But it was a good thing to practice I guess and I know it's just flat on so you're like what perspective But there's tiny bits of like where the roof goes backwards and things like that and the roofing and Just the lines of the windows and things that all look a little bit dodgy because I think I went a little bit too small This illustration I'd like to revisit this type of idea again and go bigger So as you can see I've just gone over it with micron fine liners because those are waterproof Inconside because I'm gonna watercolor it now and make all the lovely colors I think the one regret that I have with this piece is that I didn't really focus on the background at all and you'll see in the end piece the final piece that is just kind of a Gradient of green to blue and I wish I had four of different things to draw in the background Maybe just some pencil colors, but this is an excuse, but I've been pretty ill this week And I was just trying to catch up with my work and I've just started a new job I hop on about this all the time But I'm just trying to get to grips with my upload schedule and things like that So it was pretty hectic and I was just happy to be drawing again because now I've started a job as a graphic designer again It was like oh, yeah drawing I miss drawing because after work I feel kind of tired to draw I did this this morning. So hopefully it's not too crazy and rushed But I really enjoyed doing this and I hope that the YouTube artist collective people let me Have another go at this next time or another time whenever and if you want to know more about the YouTube artist collective then all the information is in the Description below and also links to everybody else's channels who are part of this collective And you can go check out what they did with this prompt verses And I can't wait to see what everybody has done because I was a bit stumped on this prompt for a little bit So it'll be interesting to see what other people have come up with so what I decided to do I've done a few like paper cutout arty things on my channel before and I realized that I really missed doing them So I wanted to do like a simplified version of that maybe and just have these kind of flaps in front of the house So it's like a doll's house exterior if that makes sense. So now I can draw inside each room What has inhabited and taken over and trying to claim the house before I would try and make these like a little bit funny and cutesy so In one of the windows is going to be some cats in another is some witches doing sort of a Say-ons or something is the word say-ons or I don't know hmm I don't know if I got the right they're doing some sort of potion thing And then in another room in the bottom I decided to do sort of a hipster coffee shop because those take over a lot of places, right? So that's kind of a joke and then Really funny joke. Yeah, and then in the final room. I decided because I was super stumped I was like why don't I just draw myself like in the desk and have this sort of inception Drawing me during this inside the drawing and I'm confused But yeah, I did that because it's like oh, it's taking over. I'm taking over the house because I'm drawing it Huh get it get it. No one gets it. I think I get it. So yeah That's kind of the idea and as you can see Pesto kept coming up to me. I'm like Pesto, please She loves it whenever I do Hardy stuff. She wants to be in the channel She wants to be the star of the channel Pesto is the star of the channel and this is her channel I am merely a servant to her whim anyway I as I said, I was just room painting the background and this paper is a bit It's supposed to be watercolor, but it's not very very nice watercolor paper I realized as I was doing this, but you know it held the paint That's that's a plus and it didn't rip or tear. So, you know, it could be worse So I just glued down the house and I penciled out some of the scenes that are gonna go in each room And once I've glued this down, I go over each room with a micron pen again And I start watercoloring it this again was really fun to do and I wish as I had said before I wish I had made the illustration a bit bigger so I could play around more with the rooms but you know, I went with this and I don't regret it because I think it turned out really nice And it was really fun to play with like I said and I want to do more illustrations like this So I can just mess around with drawing lots of little tiny things and details and I don't know It was just fun to do and oh, yeah, so I just I'm drawing the rooms here now And I think this is a really cool idea for verses because I didn't want to draw Like I said the other stuff that I did and I'm really happy with the idea that I eventually came to So I hope that you guys like it as well. I haven't really got much else to say about the illustration So I will see you at the end So as you can see Pesto kind of liked my painting very much and this is the final piece Once again, I really like the idea of having something that you can touch and manipulate with your hands as well And just like play around with and they can open and discover things themselves. I just really like it And I hope you guys like it, too I'm sorry that it was a little bit rushed just because of my sickness and new job and stuff But hopefully you guys enjoy it and if you're new to my channel, please Subscribe or like this and whatever you want to do and I will see you next time guys. Bye
