 I've graduated. Hi, Bidgets. My name is Fettuccine Alfredo today. This is a monumental moment on my channel because I'm not wearing a man bun for once, but if you're still confused about my age I'm actually 18 years old. I graduated last month. Yes. I'm a college freshman, believe it or not I'm sorry. I look very young, but if you had a crush on me and you're under the age of 16 You should rethink that. I have not painted in a while If you're unaware of what a graduation cap means to us high schoolers, usually we're a lot of customized them before graduation But my school and yes, I'm looking directly at my assistant principal and my teachers. Hello I hope you're having a good summer. You guys didn't let us customize them. I rather make it unique So I'm gonna do that today because I wasn't allowed to one month ago And I would like to post a picture of a graduation cap that matches me now I looked all over the internet. I searched far and wide on Pinterest and Etsy and not to my surprise all of them are quotes That are supposed to be inspirational and you know how I feel about those. We're not gonna do that today There was a sunflower one that really caught my eye But the last thing I want to do is paint a fucking sunflower because I can do that in my sleep and blindfolded. Just look behind me Like I'm done. I'm done with them for now. Sometimes people print the logo of the college they go into But that is lame and my logo doesn't really take that long to paint anyways But I rather do something more creative So I asked my friends to challenge me and one of them told me to draw the New York City skyline because I'm going to NYU and that Was the best idea someone gave me. I'm gonna try today if it fails. Whatever. I'll just buy another one I have no idea how paint will show on black and I have a camera right here to give you close-ups for once That's right I'm looking at you so the front of the cap is right here And I wanted to do like a sunset and then silhouette of the skyline because painting individual buildings seems like a lot of work to me I don't know what I'm gonna do about this centerpiece It actually really pissed me off that it's there But I'll just paint around it and to make sure my sunset is seamlessly blended. I'm gonna use a foam brush today I don't have one not two but Ten foam brushes I can use them all up today. They cost two dollars You guys know how I feel about the color purple. I'm not even gonna try to mix it today I'm going to man up and use my expensive paint, which I don't have much of so I don't want to use much of this This is for an important project. So it's time to bring out the big good I have water right here, and I'm gonna get my paint palettes. I mean, what do you expect me to use? Okay? Let's start so if I'm turning my head down The sunsets up here. I'm not gonna paint the whole thing because half of it is gonna just be the skyline So I'm gonna stop the sunset right around here. I'm gonna go Oh, what the fuck does the sunset look like? All right, it goes blue to purple to pink Red orange yellow. I'll make stuff up. I normally care if it's not an actual sunset I just need it to look pretty. I'm gonna start off with some of the dark blue. Oh, Jesus That is very rich in color. I'm going to wet my foam brush just a little bit here. Oh That actually shows up. I figured foam brush would be best because if I want to get that cloudy, you know What do you call it sunset look so that kind of soaked up everything graduation cap is being Very annoying because I don't think it wants to layer. This is a black graduation cap It would be easier if it was white. Should I paint away? Okay? Clearly, I know where this is gonna go I'm gonna paint this whole thing and it's not gonna show up at all So let me paint it white and I'll come back to you Yeah, that looks good I'll be back much later. All right, so it's actually been our because I wanted this to dry all the way but this took one layer and Magic so hopefully this time dark blue actually show up and I have to mess anything up Yeah, that's much better than the first time Maybe the white didn't dry all the way, but that is why I can cut footage Maybe just putting the color directly on helps because that's what I did with the white I waited like two hours already. Why is it still not dry? Okay? So if you can't tell the white is slowly mixing in with the blue, which is very annoying I guess I'm gonna have to wait even longer. So this video It's gonna be a pain to edit much much later. Okay. I've let this thing dry for Two hours again blue is showing up, but I think it's time to transition my colors So I'm going to use what's left of this because it stayed on the brush I thought this would dry faster, but apparently not because I still can tell it's wet time to blend colors So what colors do I play with this? We can maybe transition to a pink Actually, I don't know what I'm doing now, but hopefully if I mix red in the brush, it'll like blend itself Maybe Yeah, that ain't looking too seamless yet, but we'll get there. Oh, I don't know what I'm doing guys This does not look good at all. I think I should do purple. Let's drag all of this out So purple is blue plus red. I tried doing that Many times before it doesn't work out. I'm gonna try it again for the fifth time See, it just turns into like this murky gray, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong But at least that's gonna transition. I don't know how I'm gonna make this look good I'm also getting chunks of colors right now. It's like flaking off You know those Korean massages where they talk about Scrubbing your skin away. That is what I'm seeing around here. There's some chunks I don't know why that's happening. Actually, I do know because I'm looking at my palette and apparently Dried acrylic paint still flakes off. I'm not gonna use this anymore. I'm gonna use a new palette instead But unfortunately the closest purple I have is this and this is called blue violet What if I put some? Oh, that looks nice We definitely needed that because this purple was way too light. Oh, yeah, look at that rich Pigment already this hopefully will work now I really appreciate it these flakes fall off. So I'm noticing that These are blended so I'm thinking I'm gonna add a little bit more blue. It's gonna keep mixing. Oh, that was too much I can already tell it's getting empty You know when you buy something very expensive and you just don't want to use it at all because you don't want to go To waste that's how I feel with this and the whole pack costs $20. So let's seamlessly blend Why is that not working? That any better. Oh, that is a lot better actually. I really like that It's gonna add a tad more just a little bit right there Maybe it's time to use a regular brush because I think the foam brush is soaking up all my product And I don't want to do that. All right time to use my regular brushes with a fan brush that will come in handy Yes, this is 100% what I wanted to look like seamless. Oh my god That's actually an amazing transition like in real life what it looks great We'll do a full picture when it's dried. So now I need to add more colors I need red oranges and yellows. So I think now is the time to start adding the red in let's go little by little. It's not Bad looking though, but it's kind of brownish. So maybe we should lighten it up It looks like a red violet, which is this color, but I'm looking for more of a sunset pink magenta That's that's it. Let's see what you can offer me That looks good see how you want to oh Yes, that that works better that does work better wait guys. I'm actually like doing a good job for once Holy crap. This doesn't look that bad at all Confronted actually paint guys alright when he's the same color So we first used red to get the base and then we're gonna put magenta on top There is one little problem noticing right now And it's that the fan brush is so thin that it can't really like just watch It can't cover all of it in one go whereas the foam brush I could just And it would do it instantly. There is also a chunk of red right here. That is gross Okay, I'm really Into this maybe I can use a sponge brush to touch it up a little bit. Oh Oh It's a little too aggressive sponge brush. Okay, the sponge brush can apply it very well I feel like along the way we lost some of the violets. I'm gonna add that back These two to marry each other trying to look at it from a different angle right now to see if it's seamless or not Now we have to transition to Pink. Oh, okay. It's a little light, but hopefully I can blend that in see a normal person Would just have a whole palette of these colors and they can dip in and out But not me we get it done the first time need the sponge brush to do its job And apply everything for me. Yes. Look at that application now. I just blend it out up here I think this calls for some more magenta still losing the violet a little bit more I'm gonna wet this a little bit so it's a little more easy to blend. Oh my god I don't know how to paint over this stupid button cap. The thing is it moves So wherever I paint it it has to stay put. I was smart. I would have glued it down first, but I'm not This blue is disappearing. I can now tell I've used half the tube. It's a very sad day for my royal blue Okay, blend up and then we blend all the way back down You can't tell me this is not seamless blending guys. This is actually so Pretty let's just do yellow. Let's let's go from the bottom up now The yellow I'm looking for is a very specific type. It's going to be a combination of red and yellow I like a sunflower yellow. You know an orangey yellow Has to be very warm. So I have to transition from yellow to orange to pink I'm gonna make the perfect yellow first. There we go. See I told you I know how to make the perfect yellow now It's in my blood if you want to know the ratio Um, I can't give you the ratio because I use my eyes because I'm Asian, but with practice it'll become perfect. Oh, it's so Beautiful I want someone to look at me the way I look at this color. All right now. It's time. We turn it into orange So going to add a little more red. You want it to be a peachy orange like a sunset Which means this color works great. Oh my god. Look at that perfectly transition Frederick we're gonna transition down first. So I'll have to worry about the yellow again. Okay. That looks good enough Now we're gonna see if I can transition this into the pink Oh gosh. All right. Oh, okay. That's very pigmented when I say transition I hope you know, I'm trying to say like ombre. Okay, almost got it down I think see a little more yellow. Look at that ombre guys. I'm so impressed with myself for once Usually I talk shit about my own paintings because like I did one good one Which is the bold and brash painting I have it hanging on my wall and it's like I paint sunflowers and like that's not Exciting because as much as I know that's part of my brand It gets boring sometimes like I want to I want to be an actual painter I don't want to be known for sunflowers at the end of the day And I'm not going to be too worried about the bottom part because I need to cover that up with the skyline Anyways, now it is time to do This transition. Yeah, I can definitely do this just by wetting the brush That's a little trick that I learned today Oh no, not on the carpet. I don't know what just happened to my hands there. They just decided to turn off I think I have done it guys. That is a sunset. I know it looks much harsher on camera But I'm gonna just show you when it's dry. So until then I'm going to figure out a silhouette for the skyline If you've noticed that the lighting has changed just because I've been doing this shit all day I've let this dry for a while now. Let me show you what it looks like. I think it looks amazing I've never done something so smoothly before on camera. It looks a little harsh But I'll just take a picture of it at the end so you can see how smooth I made this now I'm going to get started with some decorations because I feel fancy This is a sunset because sunrise is fucking suck. Yeah, I said what I said So I'm going to do a crescent moon like around here. All right, so I want the moon to be Right around here. Oh my hands shaking quite a lot. Okay. That's not bad. I want it to be a little more Baker though. You can't tell I'm kind of into astrology right now. I am a cancer by the way moon's done I'm just going to add some diamond shaped stars now and we're going to do them in varying sizes and that Orange paint has not dried yet and now it's on my hand. Thank you so much Hannah's never smelled good to me before but Oh my god, it's making me a little lightheaded. I will admit All right, we have one star and it's going to slowly get and it's going to fade out right here Like I want the last star to be here The ones towards the blue is going to be more opaque and as I go down it'll get more and more Transparent because that's how real life stars work. I think I don't know. I never took astrology If anyone's an astronomer tell me in the comments Dammit, there's some orange paint right there and I can see it and it's bugging me So I'm going to paint over that so I don't get triggered for the rest of my life I don't know why this is taking so long to dry. I waited another hour for this I also regret doing diamonds for stars because this is taking much longer than regular dots But I have to make this look good. So I'm willing to take the time All right, I need to wipe this orange paint off because it's driving me crazy I also see some Specs of those eraser shavings I was talking about. I'm just going to paint over them with stars So I don't have to look at those anymore. Some of these stars are tilted, but it's fine Except some of them are ugly right now I'll get over it right now. It's time for the stars to start fading out. So I'm going to make Fewer ones slowly, but surely I'll put one On the button too because why not that looks like they're fading out, right? I'm done I'm done with the white. I've made way too much. Oh, that moon is perfect. I don't want to touch it at all anymore I know if I paint more I'll mess it up. So I'm good with that. No, I want to add a little more stars So I'm just going to add tiny dots throughout like Very tiny dots. Oh, this is it looks so cute. I'm so excited. In fact, now would be a good time to make the constellations I'm going to look up every single constellation zodiac constellations. Never mind. I just got over a thousand results That was way too much and I'm doing this because everyone deserves my representation So aries this one's for you torus will be right here That is a lot of work for one constellation. You are needy. Leo can be right here. There's leo I don't know if you can even tell. Hopefully you guys can see your constellations around here Virgo You'll be right here. Jesus. Something all got a lot going on answer has like Four stars only no one needs this many stars. There's Virgo. I'll do the big dip or two because why not There's Capricorn Sagittarius Jesus Christ that is like almost 20 stars Jesus. Oh my god, that took up so much space. That's all Sagittarius right there ready. Look look at cancer six six Sagittarius is 20 what's going on and Gemini is another one that needs a lot of attention I don't hate any horoscopes besides Capricorn. All right people are starting to get mixed up now But it's okay because it was bound to happen a Paliber right here. All right Um, Scorpio then Aquarius can go right here finally Pisces will go right here. Oh my god. I'm done I did all of them. Okay next I'll add the big dipper and then I'll just put some random stars around Nothing to see here folks. It's just an abnormally large diamond right there, but other than that That looks great. There is no self deprecation in this household anymore just Confidence wholesome confidence now. All I have to do is just do the skyline So I'm going to first sketch that out with a pencil. So the New York City skyline. Oh god Do I have to do the Statue of Liberty too? Probably okay. I can do this. I'm gonna start it off The highest point will be around here. So I'll start it off around Here there isn't gonna be room for the Statue of Liberty. I can already see I'm just gonna draw some tall buildings to make it Look like New York City. Oh, don't mind me. I'm just changing a battery because I've been doing this All day. All right ready three two one time lapse All right, that is the whole silhouette now. It is time to just paint this all in Black wish me luck, please. Oh, yeah, that's definitely gonna be easy Mm-hmm just can't mess up at all or else my life will be ruined I'm gonna have to be very patient with this because I can't rush Me and my shaky hand have to be very patient with this color because it's messed me up Many times in the past. Why is this here? Why is there a dot here? All right here we go My hair Is really getting in my way right now, but I'd rather show off my wavy hair. It's a sacrifice that is worth it But goddamn, this is stressful and boring every time I make a straight line. It makes me happier Yes, I know Frederick a gay guy making straight lines. Oh my god. Is the sun really setting? I don't know. How do people have the time? Where do you find the time to sit down and just do this? This isn't even the empire state building. I have to paint up to here and do a straight line That's impossible. Okay. Don't know how I did it, but I made a small rectangle My heart is beating very fast guys. All right now the empire state building How do I want to go about this? The worst part is I have to make this symmetrical to the other side So I have to draw Many straight lines actually the empire state building is like 10 different rectangles I have two done now I have to do the big fat rectangle one side of the rectangle is done It probably looks very clear on the camera, but that's not real life. That is farther away I'm this close right now. All right We're almost there. Actually. I'm like nowhere near the top. Oh my god You know when all this is done. I'm gonna text that friend who recommended this idea to me and just be like That was casual. Give me another challenge Even though this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to paint definitely taking the most time, but damn Does it look good? I did all of it just one more step and that is the line Did I really just do that? Oh my god. I did it Oh my god. It's right there That was a relief except there's another line I have to do so I'm not fully done Am I a painter now? Can I officially turn into an art channel and not some amateur artist? Will Joanna Cedia Finally respect me I just realized another 20 minutes have passed because my camera stopped recording yet again I did not do something straight. Don't even make the joke. I get it Also, I don't know how people draw without turning their palette Like I'm only good at drawing straight lines this way. I don't know why Let me know if you are like that too. Okay, there's another line. I have to do guys. So bear with me Fuck I ran out of paint. Okay I did it. I did it guys. Oh my god. It looks so cute All right, just one more tiny building and then I'll just paint some lights on here and we should be done I'm done. I'm done. That's it I did it I can just stop right here like this was my assignment to create the skyline, but I want city lights. I'm gonna let it dry again fully Then I'll come back put some yellow paint in and then draw some city lights on and that'll be it See you in an hour much much much later. Okay. I'm finally almost done. I've let this dry now We're just gonna take some yellow because I believe city light should be yellow instead of white. That's just It's fine. I'll just use you for a little bit Now I don't like the idea of doing like 5 000 windows mainly because I'm too tired too So I'm just gonna do a couple and that should give enough To this painting another reason I'm not doing 5 000 windows is because you are bound to make one mistake with them And if one of them doesn't look right then the whole thing is ruined I'm also just repainting this moon because it is still not fully opaque and that's bothering me great Now my moon is in a perfect shape. Damn it. I knew I should not have gone back to it the moment I set it back to my lights. How was it not dried yet? I'm still getting black marks on my fingers Oh no I have to cover that with black paint. Am I done? Think I'm done I did not even use that much yellow at all. So I just wasted even more paint every time I waste paint My parents are a little more disappointed in me But one last step I just have to cover up that yellow mark I made right here. I did it I didn't mess it up. Nothing looks wrong. It's And now all I have to do is just take a picture with it. Yeah, this looks really good So I'm gonna give a close-up of it. Look at all those details. That's still drying By the way, don't look at that so much detail put into this and that is all if you guys enjoyed this video Give it a like leave a comment down below about what I should do next for painting This is going to be a lot to edit but it'll be worth it and subscribe for more videos every saturday And before I leave it's time to read another coming out story for you guys I'm gonna say this every time if you don't know why I do this at the end of every video It's because I want to promote being authentically yourself. As always the person is anonymous But they know who they are I came out to my cousin a year ago saying that I was bi and she was surprised that I told her but she already knew I've yet to tell my parents because they are extremely homophobic But I will do it at an age when I have my own life to deal with I'm still 12 here waiting for the right time to tell them next will be my bff And I hope she doesn't tell my parents about it. Um, you're 12 years old Don't worry too much about it right now. You're already very brave for doing it at such a young age And I think if she's your bff you can trust her, but that's all I have so as always I love you guys and everything is less than three. All right. Now. How do I put this on? I don't think I did it right
