 Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of nerdy draws for this episode I thought I was gonna use those blue sharpies and I ended up not cuz I lost the colors or something. I don't know. I'm a piece of crap. I didn't look before I actually started drawing But on the bright side I did use Some black and white sharpies, which I haven't done in a really long time actually and I think I added a little bit of color I forget I'm watching this video as I talk, but you know, whatever and I don't really do that. I usually just go straight for coloring and I don't usually do value practice I don't know if that's to call it. I'm an amateur. Anyways So for this episode, I'm drawing lapis lazuli in black and white. You probably know her She's from Steven Universe and I love her. I love her color palette She's so pretty and so I just decided to draw her for this episode especially because I've never done anything Fandom related. So far these past two nerdy draws have just been O.C.'s and I Realize people don't always just want to see O.C. drawings because you know that they they're not really out there though I plan for them to be but you know, they're not there yet and Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Turquoise T for being on my butt for literally like two to three weeks to put out a speed paint and I kept letting her down but I will also give it to her While I was drawing this I have a lot of cuts in this video Just because I was watching Heather's while I drew this because she recommended it to me. So ha Please don't get mad at me but anyways So I'd had to do a lot of cuts in this video Just cuz it was like I kept stopping to watch the play and then at some point like I put the camera too far down So you couldn't even see what I was drawing, you know amateur rookie mistakes, whatever but As far as I remember this one was really fun because I think I drew it like I want to say two weeks ago Because I actually recorded the material a while ago And then I've just been so busy with like family coming over and I just haven't had time to do it That's also kind of an excuse because I'm a lazy piece of crap But other than that This was pretty fun to do. Also, I have a new mic I'm gonna link in the description to this mic because I love it. It's absolutely fantastic It cost I want to say like $13. Oh look. I'm pausing there again Did I not cut this out? I guess not but I Bought it off of Amazon. It was like $13 and it was the best thing. I've probably ever bought I don't know how clear this sounds. I'm hoping it sounds really clear because I haven't really tested it But let me tell you sound rooms the best sound Crap, what do you call those things? You know those things those like squares that you put up that absorb sound anyways that yeah Why get those when you can wrap your computer and yourself in a blanket? This is I think where I started going in with the Sharpies because I realized I didn't have my markers You know, I probably should have checked that That might have been a good idea before I started drawing Do other artists plan stuff? I don't actually know because I feel like I've heard of artists that actually like plan what they're about to draw And I severely lack that but I think that'd be a really good idea for me to do But back to this awesome mic it's So It's got this like thing on it. I'm rambling at this point, but I really like this mic And I got it and I didn't think it was gonna have anything like attached to it But it came with all the cords and stuff. Oh my god. I just realized I'm Advertising for this product. I hate myself. Anyways So I think I had I think in this drawing I had a few anatomy mistakes but at this point in the drawing I just kind of gave up and just like started going but I It's not super noticeable or at least to me because I was like doing It I was drawing it so I didn't really notice until I was done And then I posted the drawing and then I was like wow look at that anatomy failure You know like do you ever do that where you like you're Drawing and then you come out with the final product and you're like super duper proud of it And then you look at your drawing and then you're like hey look at that anatomy mistake I hate myself time to die Because I do a lot it's Not fun noticing the anatomy mistake at the very end But I don't know it's just Usually I don't know if people actually notice that by the end of the drawing But I would hope they don't I would hope they don't notice the little like wrong things I did So I don't know if I'm actually gonna point this out I'm gonna let you guys point that out like leave it leave a comment in the description What do you think what do you think I messed up you want to say the entire drawing go for it? I did plot twist ha and this is where I started Figuring out where the highlights were I think I did that sort of But I'm still like learning the whole drawing process like with I mean black and whites and stuff and I just got some markers actually Some black markers and then I got another new highlighter because my new one my old one wasn't working the whiteout pens Because that started running out. I've had it for like a year. I think and Had to get a new one of that because it was running out But so look forward to that in the next video Because I'm actually going to be using the new markers, which were actually like really cheap because they're light copics But they're not exactly copics, which is pretty neat And I'm almost done with the drawing. I'm using a gray crayola marker. That's how small my Tools are but I don't really mind it because I know this I knew this girl at school Who would constantly use crayola markers and would like very rarely get anything expensive? But she she did really good art like she was really good. She worked with what she had I've always kind of wanted to be on that level because that that just shows that you know You're able to work with anything but at the same time. I just love Expensive art supplies. It's not a good thing. It really isn't but they're just so nice to work with And I'm finishing the drawing Am I I am I am this is a blue sharpie and you'd be surprised how well sharpie works Like if you have nothing else, it's not the best thing to work with but it's also not the worst Like you really could do worse because it dries relatively smooth. I don't know about the like archivalness, but Uh, so far they've worked really well for me. All right guys, and this is my end drawing of lapis lazuli from steven universe I hope you all enjoyed. Uh, leave a comment as to what you'd like to see me draw next. Thank you all for watching. Bye Yes, finally boy
