 Soon soon said that wrong didn't I? I've been playing with sims since I was a teenager and yes I'm gonna call myself a sim player now um do you mind Pester? But I was thinking like what would it be like if I painted a masterpiece from the sims and that's what this video is so I'm gonna play a little bit of the sims and get my sim up to be master level somehow of a painter and uh see if I can accomplish in the sims what I have in my life that's a joke don't get me in the comments let's see how it goes oh that's that low let's see how it goes okay time to be a real gamer and put my headphones on that's right I am I'm a gamer so deal with it we know what we're here to do though so let's just get into it I skip the tutorial I don't need the tutorial are you crazy okay I took the quiz and um well I don't quite think that this is what my character should be so obviously the aspirations are going to be creativity because um that's what we're here for lads what's this what's this I don't need the tutorial are you crazy I just need to be creative genius and romantic or gloomy I guess fits like the the starving artist kind of personality there so let's do that first name average oh I'm not saying artist I need to make her look a little bit like me so this is a little bit different oh look there we go that's me sort of let's play I didn't do the clothes or anything because she's not gonna have any social life basically that's how it is you want to be an artist you want to be professional professional you need to like forget everyone and everything and food and money and life I'm just kidding okay so where are we gonna live oh my gosh glimmer brook looks pretty fabulous but she's gonna be an artist she has to be in like the city I think there's absolutely nothing here okay let's go a small little place that cost me two thousand simoleons I am here I am here right let's build a little area and by area I mean her painting dungeon the music is quite fitting actually for right now oh my god I didn't mean to do that we're going basic B for this okay guys because she's gonna decorate the house with her artwork so for everything else it's just gonna be like it doesn't even matter because she's not gonna see it she's gonna be working too hard need some lights as well because lights are very important for the artist there it is baby that's what we need we can upgrade this all of course when we become a famous artist and the money is flowing okay so don't worry guys is that all I need I feel like I'm forgetting something major it doesn't matter because we're going straight to work lads we're going straight to it we're gonna go in with a small first all right this buckle up guys because this is pretty much what we're doing the whole time unless she wants to make friends and then I don't know what I'm gonna do because how do you make friends impossible get off your foot oh she's done it she's done it she's made her first painting and we're gonna create a copy sure and then we're gonna sell to collector oh yeah already make already 51 dollars that is the Sims is lying to you that is not how it works we're gonna make another painting we're gonna go for medium this time I don't know what happened to my where's my inventory poor quality poor how dare you this is an original sim the artist the average artist painting let me peek let me peek let's do it in a quick time time lapse all right she's done it you know what that this is kind of on my level though so I I'm not you know let's frame it let's move it it's beautiful it's absolutely beautiful I I'm upset that people think that this is how poor quality still and yet it sells for 80 87 simoleons where you think you're going you're going nowhere me we're painting forever we don't have a life level up yes this is the worst painting I've ever seen in my life sell this because I don't really need another sleep paralysis demon watching me once asleep so we sold that one on to the next one what's it gonna be all of these are trash though okay she's gonna have to paint 10 000 paintings before she becomes an expert if you've heard that thing so trash bin it we want the next one we're moving on we need to get to the top look okay selling it we're selling it I don't know where she thinks she can go to the toilet it's not how it works paint from reference paint from reference what's my reference what what reference yes yes it is funny what reference is that okay well you know what we're being too critical she is a beginner maybe maybe that's how she sees it but we are selling that that's gone that's instantly gone let's do a classic painting milestone average has completed I didn't read that that was too quickly gone I completed something so winner chicken dinner kind of thing oh I quite like this one she keeps going to the toilet absolutely not appropriate where can I put this over the window perfect I pop reference let's do a pot painting no you don't get to eat that's not how things work you have to make kind of a painting and then you can eat level four already I mean maybe the next levels will be a little bit more difficult but oh okay you can eat some yogurt fine spoil yourself um so for reference I will be copying one of these paintings but more the actual like well the whole point of the video is that I'm going to try and be like better or like on the same level at least hopefully at least set myself up there haven't I foreshadowing oh no the socials going down and nobody came out my house so do I even want friends oh wait there's someone there fine let's go speak to him no pause the game funny introduction because that's who we be stop painting for once I want you to stop painting introduce yourself introduce yourself stop painting okay good did she just did she just fought at him talk about dreams okay because I'm inspired so I love a proposed crazy scheme describe idea I'm gonna be one of these people that talks nothing oh he's gone probably because we were boring as because all we talked about was painting please subscribe okay she needs to sleep for a bit but whatever fine we won't call her lazy because she has basic needs but so demanding have a ham and cheese sandwich and geez good okay oh she's sad why are you sad doesn't make any sense oh gloomy I guess fits like the the starving artist kind of personality kick so much effort now go resume the painting how was the social down again I just spoke to someone like two days ago we need to grind get on with it although that painting is a piece of garbage I don't know where her inspiration was for that but it's nothing compared to our original small classic painting of the apple and melon I'm gonna put it right I know where this belongs like here I feel like that is a perfect place for it all right hurry up we haven't got all day okay the social is going down and it's going down fast we haven't got time for that we haven't got time for the nonsense or friendship this painting again not sure about it not I hope that I don't have to paint something like that because I don't like it let's go for realism no you know what my favorite is impressionism so I said do a large one and she did a small one she's trying to fight me okay classic painting large come on we've got this in us we're inspired for some reason we're constantly inspired I don't know why because she's literally just living in this small studio space and not seeing anyone hardly eating hardly sleeping I've got a level up maybe this is the way forward just lock yourself up oh wait that already happened I'm gonna hang that one on the wall because I'm gonna at the end hang up all the ones that I like and then we're gonna try and like paint the same one don't okay yeah come over dweeb why have I got the yogurt in my inventory can I please put this on the why why can't it go above my bed okay right up there that's a really great place oh my god this guy has tribal tattoos do we really want to be do we really want to be making friends with this absolute lad do not be in front of your new friend embarrass us like that tell unbelievable story and then get back to painting confident painting perfect okay he's gonna watch me painting there is the actual perfect solution for my problems because look at our social going right up three hours baby three hours three arrows baby what the f**k is this what is this we're gonna frame it and we're gonna put it on the wall why why have I gone over here I don't know why the music's so creepy painter career has begun I'm painter I'm a painter so now okay performance is average hey don't do that get back to painting wait is this finished oh that's pretty cool actually and it's gone I was gonna show you guys but it's gone the moment my job is a palette cleaner not quite sure how that makes you like get better as an artist but okay it's again it's not impressionism though is it it's abstract so I'm gonna put that one on the wall though because it's pretty I maybe I need a sink where she gone she's gone to work okay fair enough let's build her a sink while she's gone um realism oh my god don't get over me obsessed right yeah it's just come in don't worry not rude or anything why have I got two of these quality poor how dare you this is a work of art I have been working on this for at least 10 minutes all right we need to get on with this stop talking to your friend and keep printing oh my gosh she's got too many basic needs although it's done guys quite handy because he is just like popping around to speak to me that's a good friend what the hell is this I feel like her paintings are getting worse honestly like what is this how is that realism didn't I select realism okay we're gonna grind now we're gonna grind now she's hungry again well you can eat all the food in your pockets because just eat your eat your delicious pocket sandwich yeah I didn't think that was gonna be good cook something garden salad single serving go on you need some salad in your do I need like another counter because I I will do it don't threaten me I'll do it right by the door beautiful I was like oh it's a cute cat but I thought it was a bear and I was also like what's this situation with the the extra foot that is horrendous that is going that is going away from me sell to collector look at this guy freaking stalker I'm not in me go away she needs a toilet brilliant can you not just go to the toilet at your work is it illegal are you gonna get fired like okay she did she did nothing never mind she's back sell this piece of shims being very critical when I also have to paint in a minute so yeah maybe I shouldn't be that critical yeah she's got a promotion art book collector really it's really pushing me towards becoming a painter oh no don't embrace cooking we don't have time this one's kind of cool but I don't like it I'm sorry we already have a friend and his name is Don Lofario and you can't be our friend because we don't have room in our lives for more than one friend because he's a freaking stalker come on get a painting we don't have time for this I should probably move the the easel so we can actually see what she's doing a little bit better he's feeling flirty go away don't we ain't interested we like you as a friend at best maybe not even that you are a bit irritating this on the wall I need more room for my painting so I'm gonna make a little gallery area okay so far these are the options not this these two are because I grew attached to them okay I've got some goodness here this will help me become better focus potion no I don't want flirty potion confident potion what else instant hygiene is good because then that means I don't have to waste time she loves painting look her face she just loves it actually for working one hour oh just gets in the way of my career my career you know so so far we've got these as options I quite like this one this one's cool I think my favorite so far is this one though because it's more like what I like you can't really see it because it's super dark so let's just change that oh I know why it's dark because you haven't put windows in your new area now let's just make sure everyone can see exactly what I'm doing inside my house and oh good I think this one would be cool to paint but let's see let's see it's talking absolute rubbish isn't it yeah where's my pizza I'm hungry oh I haven't ordered the pizza too easy painting typical is my pizza coming did you order it I'm not sure where's my pizza okay well my pizza isn't arriving so I am putting it down to making something myself which is unfortunate to say the least this again really this line again you're joking me oh I like this oh it's a masterpiece okay awesome there we go there's a masterpiece let's frame it we made it guys we did a masterpiece so I think what I'm gonna do is paint this one try and recreate this in real life and see how I do this is apparently a Sims masterpiece and I do quite like it because it's like an impressionistic painting and it's really cool so let's get down to it let's go over to my canvas and start painting yes okay guys it is now the next day and I'm ready to paint my sim masterpiece and I'm hoping that it grows okay first of all I have my painting here of the sims image and I'll put like a reference there for you guys so you can see what I'm doing and I'm gonna prep my canvas first so I'm just going to put on the wedges to help stretch out the the actual material of the canvas so what we don't want is the blazing white of this canvas like showing through the colors because that will affect overall how this presents to us so I'm using my jelly gouache for this painting and underneath I think there's a bit of a yellow tinge to this painting from what I can see in this sims image so I'm going to just do like a wash of like yellowy to take away from the white a little bit my canvas is more or less stained now so I'm just going to start by adding color or marking out shapes that are similar to the shapes on the actual image from the sims one I think like the sims one it might be it might be actually a real painting because sometimes they do do that with like masterpieces but I'm going to look that up right now but yeah I'm just going to like mark out shapes where I think they are in the painting so we've got like this dark distance here and then we've got like the water here and then we've got like a boat here two boats then we've got like a figure here right so I'm just marking out lightly sort of lightly where everything might be so we've got that figure and then this sort of coming around here like the walkway I'm guessing it is a walkway because I see like a promenade and then I see like fires here right so I'm gonna just outline where the yellow is a little bit like in opposite areas so this is where the light's gonna come so we don't want to do it too dark there although it doesn't matter because this is gouache so but yeah I can definitely see where the water begins there's like a big a definite line there right of this dark blue where the light is not hitting the ocean and then it comes down quite like a block here and it continues up here into the distance where everything is sort of you get the idea that everything is going this way into the distance so the light is more it's greater here because it's closer to us whereas when it's going into the distance it kind of fades a little bit in this painting what's really interesting about the sims one is it's got like patchy areas where the light is and I'm thinking that somebody has just like done like a photoshop filter on the real painting so I'm just going to paint all the areas that I think on the night sky and actually the fires are more like here this is really satisfying because I haven't done like a painting on a canvas in so long so this is actually really like fun for me so I'm really glad that I started to do this video so this is like my interpretation of an interpretation of a painting so that's kind of interesting actually like what what's it going to turn out was and at the end I'll probably look at the original painting I think it must be an original painting I'm gonna look it up okay so funnily enough it's actually an instant van go painting which I did not realize until I looked it up and I was like yeah duh when I was looking at this I was a little bit like this reminds me a bit of van go and then I was like maybe this is based on the painting duh well yeah it's based on Vincent van Gogh's story night at the road I think I'm not sure how you pronounce that but yes that's what I'm painting right now so don't I look clever so it's good to know that I am painting a real thing then I can like show you guys a comparison at the end but yeah pretty funny pretty funny I forgot when everything's a little bit watery everything like seeps down on a canvas it's quite cool actually painting um the sins version of this because it has really been like broken down into this like super simple generic shapes of the painting so it's like being broken down into these really like defined areas of color so it's actually quite fun to copy what I see there and try and do the same sort of shape so I think it's like made it a bit easier so it's sort of like paint by numbers but sim style because to be fair I am painting the sims version I'm not actually trying to paint the van go version that I didn't even know was what it was until now sometimes I like to mix the paint on the canvas makes a quite satisfying color so I've got like the purple and the dark blue here and I'm just mixing it on to the canvas it's more fun little kitten squeaks she wants attention hello camera hello my mochi she's super cute nice I've kind of been liking it so far what do you guys think I'm gonna change my water and then let this dry and work on a bit of the lighter shades of in the piece from now on we've got a lot of oranges coming in because there's like fires in the distance and then stars here so we want to like work on that so the fact that we've got the solid darks down really helps us calculate where the light is going to go and where the figure is so I've just worked in like block shapes basically of all the colors and then I'm gonna see what happens to change my water with this dry see you in a second and we're back as you can see some bits are still a little bit wet because we're shiny that means that it's still wet but I don't care I'm going back in and I'm excited to work on this so I'm just going for it I want to add some like oranges now just to like start the process of seeing where they are on the page one up here right there's one here I feel like this is way too dark I mean I'm gonna go where I had the idea and intention to go so it's nice and brown now fire here fire here and then suddenly they get like smaller that was a go down into the distance there then we've got like the reflection which is like here for each of them so I'm just like doing really basic outlines of where just to bear in mind where everything is one thing I really like about Van Gogh is that at the time papers and things like that to paint on were really expensive so the fact that he still went along and did what he wanted to do despite the fact that no one liked it at the time shows you that he had complete bravery in his work and he did it just because he loved to do it so I think that's one of the reasons that he's very popular because he just did what he wanted and that's like impressive considering that nobody you know like enjoyed his work he was getting harsh criticism so I think that's something that really resonated with me when I was a young artist trying out you know just starting out I was like okay so there's this person who never received any recognition for his beautiful paintings at the time they still went and did them anyway because he loved to paint and that's something that stuck with me it's like just because if somebody doesn't like what you're doing that's not your issue like as long as you're enjoying what you're doing that's the important thing right really enjoying the process of this painting it's like something that I haven't really done for ages is like painting on a canvas like I said so it's like really interesting to see if I'm like any better at it if that makes sense since the last time that I painted on a canvas I think I am it's quite interesting I really want to do more larger scale painting I think the key to like van Gogh style is just lots of like expressive lines and I think that this is kind of I'm kind of doing it despite the fact that I have got like this sort of paint by numbers aspect to it from the Sims it's kind of like deconstructing an image and then trying to reconstruct it again in terms of like what I can see on this image from the Sims image like I know roughly it realistically probably in real life like this doesn't really look like a proper van Gogh or whatever but I think I'm getting pretty close to what the Sims image looks like so I'm pretty pleased with that I just need to add like a few more details here and there and I think I'm gonna say that this is done but yeah just a few more things to do I think like up here I put these stars way too close together and there's sort of like a darkness between them so I want to create that space a bit better definitely left too much space on this side of the canvas compared to like what is actually there in this original piece in the sim painting but sure it doesn't matter too much okay so I think I'm going to call it there what do you guys think I really enjoyed doing this painting and I think this video is really fun and I hope that you guys enjoy it too I'm just going to show you some cool shots of this image whilst I do would like to remind everybody that I have my comic out on Etsy and also I have a patreon down in the link in the description if you haven't seen it please please check it out thank you very much thank you and yeah so this is the final painting and it really had fun with playing with the textures and the shapes and just like pushing on paint and pushing it around and just expressing myself and with not too much pressure I said recently that I was doing a lot of fan art because it helps take the stress away from trying to use the imagination side of things and then you can focus more on like practicing your technique and I've been doing that a lot recently so this was like a good example of that where I'm copying something because I'm practicing my technique and I didn't have to think too much of where things are going in my head so it was like easier to just explore that and obviously don't always do that because you've got to make your own work but it's always good to take a step back and look at some other stuff or draw inspiration from anything and even the Sims the video game could be a good source of inspiration for you maybe please like and subscribe to this channel and that would be super awesome of you and I hope that you guys enjoyed this so I will see you next time bye
