 Hey, what's up guys welcome back to the average artist in my infinite search for a great art supply I have come across popcorn pens, okay? I know what you're thinking. How can a pen be popcorn? Well stay for the video cuz you're gonna find out This is a brand called dong a we're gonna be looking at these pens They actually sent me two sets which I don't know why I thought I ordered just one So maybe they felt sorry for me for the extortionate shipping costs and we're just like, okay We're gonna send you to so things as they sent me two packs I'm gonna give away this second pack of popcorn colored pens So if you want this make sure you comment down below what you like about the pens and also like and subscribe to me to me To be in a chance of winning these pens and I'll send them out to you because they're pretty cool Yeah, so let's get on with the video. So let's try these bad boys out. Shall we let's go So these are what the pens look like they have a lovely feature called having the brand name dong a on the side and Popcorn color. So let's see. They're all neon which you know, not a huge fan of neon But beggars can't be choosers because I really like what affect these pens do and I've got a few ideas What we can do with them. Okay, so you guys if you know me, you know that I don't usually Swatch stuff, but I want to swatch these to show you what they do first of all Okay, let's open them. They've got a little cap on the top. I Think yes, they do. I'm just gonna scrape that away and we then get using these. Okay. So first of all, you think okay very normal Great. Yeah, a blue pen, right? It's a little bit gloopy. Okay. We see that right then what you do is You take your hairdryer or your heat gun or whatever it may be and you do this and it dries it in this kind of like Popcorny textured Lump, which you know is not that attractive, but it's fun So we're gonna see what we can create with ease. I'm gonna swatch the other colors And we're gonna see how they turn out feels kind of like soft and squishy and a little bit like popcorn I would say so no wonder they call popcorn pens because it does kind of bubble up like a popcorn piece Which is really exciting Let's swatch the other ones. I think I'll just do a smaller dot for these ones Because I was at first worried that it wasn't gonna do anything. I was like I've been lied to it's not gonna do anything But actually it did bubble up. So whoop whoop here's the pink which I am always excited to see even though It is a neon pink. It's still cute neon orange and yellow now Let's use the heat and see what happens So this is what they look like after the heat as you can see they've raised quite a bit which is so crazy interesting squishy I Don't know how well you can see that but I've done some really rough Drawings and I've just left them rough because I know I'm gonna go over the popcorn pens Just trying to see like how much detail we can really put in these images considering that they become really textured Pesto and Yeah, they'll probably cover up a lot of detail. I also want to try layering them which I think could be fun Okay, so they are super runny So if you use these just bear that in mind I really do want to cover up the lines as well because I think probably will run over that when they Expand when I put the heat on but maybe it will make for some like interesting style I don't know. So I need that white just to see like what it looks like kind of looks like a gloopy mess right now It doesn't really look like a base or whatever. I'll space. I'm gonna make the petals pink Okay, Pesto kind of blend into each other Maybe I'll dry this layer and then we'll add more layers as I go So let's try this layer and see what it looks like This is how it comes out when it's dry super weird, but it's like fun and satisfying. It's like I know it's really soft to the touch. It's like a squishy and yeah Here's what we're all thinking does it layer. I mean, this is a pretty hard Like dry surface now. So let's see what happens when I add Another layer to them Lesson learned about not putting them like so close to each other as well. So if you want to do this one It's like maybe not I think I'm gonna fill this gap in because that looks a bit silly now. I don't know What else to do these stars? They're probably not gonna stay in that shape, but we can try I think yeah If you want to use these pens detail is your enemy and there we go. That's what it looks like. It's so funny I really like this weird texture. It's so cool. Um, yeah, you can layer them. I guess it kind of Emulates the color that's underneath it. So because he here this is kind of lighter than this one But um, let's continue on and do some more. I want to do loads now Obsessed, but let's do this strawberry and actually the detail thing if you Dry it slowly and then realize that the first like the top layer is dry and then going with a high heat It does kind of work I think it probably will work better if you have like a heat gun the tool That's probably made for stuff like this a bit better. I want to see if I can mix. Oh wait I need to dry this later first. Let's do it So now I want to mix like the blue and the green together It's the blue and the green the blue and the yellow together to try and make a green Let's see if that actually it does happen I Don't want to like Not really giving green but it's kind of working Cute I'm loving this strawberry though. It's so cute. Are you seeing this? Are you seeing this cute little pie? Puffy strawberry So cute. Look at it. Look at it. It's so puffy Okay, so I want to fill in the seeds I wasn't sure what color to do gonna go with purple because it's like the darkest it is kind of cute Wish I had just left that empty maybe because I think it was cute then I'm gonna try and do the rest of these quickly and then I want to make like little stickers with a sticker paper I'm gonna put these ones alike we do them and Cut them out. I think they'll be really cute because you can make your own puffy stickers at home craziness And here's how they came out. Yeah Pretty cool. I don't know I'm just gonna rub out this line because it's bothering me. Okay. Well, yeah loving it I really like how this milk one came out. I want to do a quick test of just like Pen on top of them or whatever just to see what it looks like and then I'm gonna do some Strawberry stickers. I think yeah as as assumed it looks kind of awful Yeah, that's what it looks like Flattened it completely takes away all Texture of it really like the strawberry like the milk But I think I'm gonna do a strawberry on this stick of paper and then Yeah, cut it out. I guess so I have some like label sticker paper here It's so you can see they're just labels But what I want to do is do some strawberries on here So I'm just gonna copy that strawberry and then cut them out But I want to do them a bit smaller. Maybe I just realized I didn't even show that on camera brilliant And here is what they look like Quite puffy, I think you could probably add like more To it if you want to make them super puffy. I'm gonna try that Because I want super puffy Strawberries, okay Let's see extra puff Ridiculous puffiness, you see that that's amazing. Okay. Now I want to do some leaves That and then a little bit of blue inside and there we go some super puffy strawberries now Let's cut them out Because I think they are gonna look cute Okay, so here's how they look. I think that's so cute. Oh my gosh Can you imagine just being bored in school and I guess you can't really heek on these in school but I'm gonna stick them on to my 2023 diary and we'll see how they work And it's kind of satisfying to squish them as well There we go some lovely puffy stickers just homemade cuteness What do you think?
