 You'll be pleased to see that I cleaned my desk. So it's my niece's birthday today and she's a huge fan of RuPaul. So I'm gonna do her a little card based off of this meme. Ignore that, that's me watching something. So I'm gonna make her a card with this image on it. Now. Okay, so I finished the card. I think it's pretty funny. I hope she likes it. And inside there's a RuPaul reference again. If you watch RuPaul you might get this. Hey everybody, welcome back to The Average. I'm just cooking myself some pasta. That was a zoom-in shot, you don't expect. You can hear it really loudly. So I'm probably gonna do this in a minute instead of now. So how have you all been? I've been good, thanks. What? No one asked me. Hi, I'm Steph. If you're new to my channel, I'm the Average Artist. I make illustrations, comics, book covers, lots of arty stuff.

Okay, the first project is to do with Casey Golden and I guess you guys probably all know who she is. And she's a YouTuber and she has the 500 prompts video series and she wants people to kind of participate in them and then post up. And this one was for Sandheimer and Tower. I did some sketches in my sketchbook for it and then I filmed like a process of making this, but I accidentally deleted half the footage, so you're only gonna see a little bit. And as I do, I'm just gonna explain that I wanted my idea to be completely different to Casey's because I think the whole point of the prompts is to kind of think of something yourself. And I think that is one of the hardest parts of her prompts is thinking of different ideas. So I thought maybe it could have a tower inside of a sand timer. So as time passes, it's gonna be completely covered like a sandstorm inside it. And then I thought there's like a girl inside this world of a desert where the sand sprinkling down on her and she has like this magic ability to see when time will run out and she's trapped in there for some reason. I don't know what reason. So I just want to do a little few more details to make it look a little bit nicer. And I will show you guys what that looks like. Here's roughly the final result. I might need to do a little bit more work on this sand timer, but yeah, I was trying to do like the sky as if it was a sandstorm and she's trapped in this world. I have no idea why she's in a swimming costume. Maybe she was at the beach when she got transported here. I honestly don't know. So let me know what you think if you like it. It was a fun exercise to do. I'm probably gonna try and do more Casey prompts. I tried to do one last week and I couldn't think of anything. So I kind of abandoned my efforts, but that's my sketchbook. And I would show you, but I'm planning on doing a sketchbook tour soon when this thing is completed. I'm not even halfway done though. So wait for that, bad boy to come out. Oh God, sorry, I'll stop. I've had a lot of good feedback on my book cover, which is really cool. I really am happy with everyone's comments. It's really nice of you to say like, oh, you like it because this is a project that means so much to me and it's something that I've been meaning to do for years and years. I think it's gonna be next week that the book comes out and I'm really excited. I think just even talking about it is like a big deal. So thanks for all the support guys. And if you wanna see more stuff like what I've just done today and you're new to my channel, then please subscribe. And if you like this video, please like it because it means so much to me. I like it. It's so cool to see people commenting and liking my video because I do put a lot of effort into these videos and it's nice to know that people actually like my content. Who would have thought? You know what I mean? I'm trying to do this thing where people give me compliments and I take them and I'm like, thank you for that compliment instead of just being like, no, you're wrong. You're mistaken. Yeah, so if I don't take your compliment then, I'm sorry, that's just my insecurities seeping out here through the power of film. So have a great weekend guys and I will see you Monday. I'm trying to think of a schedule for posting stuff but usually I just kind of post stuff whenever I feel like it. Anyway, I'm rambling. So have a great weekend and I will see you next week. Thanks for watching guys. Bye.
