 I hope you know I spent an hour editing that, so you better subscribe for my pain. Happy New Year. New Year. I still hate everything. Hi friends, my name is Farmers Market Today. I think everyone by now knows of the game Among Us. For those of you who don't know, it's like Mafia, there's ten people usually and there's two imposters and you talk in discussions and you lie a lot and you lose friends and you get mad at each other. It's a great game. Very healthy for relationships. I play a good amount of it on Twitch, I livestream a lot so if you want to see my gameplay it's also right here and I wanted to paint something for it because I think the art is easy. You don't have to be Van Gogh to do this, the art itself is already very simple, it's like five colors only. And I got a lot of these, I got like eight of these left so I would like to get rid of them. I debated for a while on what to draw until one day Among Us tweeted this, something about this. I can't look at it without laughing. Something about this just intrigued me so much because first of all it's a reference to Spongebob and if you watch the streams you know that my username in Among Us is always Bussy. Look at this big Bussy. Which I'm so sorry to all the parents, click away now. It means boy that, there, so that's enough of that. Let's not talk about that word anymore, oh god I feel so awkward right now. I don't want to explain why it came to be but suddenly it's my username and I think this is appropriate for it. My character wears a bucket hat and is always yellow and I think it'd be pretty cute to have it right here. I'm going to see if I can draw it today and I'm going to do it this way. And yes I actually brought home all of my paint in a plastic bag from college which is very heavy and it took up so much space in the duffel bag so you're welcome. First off I need to sketch this out, this is the boring part so cue bad time lapse. You know what's popping besides this Bussy? My back. Look at this position. My spine. Oh my god look how long my hair is. Oh it's hard to see but here's my sketch so far and I'm going to finally take your tip. Everyone has told me about this but I keep forgetting. I'm going to spray this down with some sealer. Any generic type of coating that you put on, you can use hairspray too just to prevent the paint from mixing with the lead. So I brought all my paints with me except I forgot a palette so I need to go find one. Okay we're going to have to do the trick. So obviously we need yellow for my character, we're going to need highlights for the yellow and shadows. I'll probably use brown for the shadow and mix it with yellow. Blue, black, I don't have green but I can mix green so we're going to do that. Some weird shade of purple. I think that's, oh you just need six colors for this, you'll hear that? That's a sound. You know what just so we don't mess up I'm going to mark where everything is. This is yellow, this is a highlight, this is a shadow, there we can't mess this up. So starting off with yellow, I want mine to be a little bit more golden so I'm going to add just one drop and I swear I mean one drop of orange, there. And I'm just going to try to paint everything besides the black outline so then it's easy for me to trace. For the digital artist out there this is hashtag FDD700. Yes I memorized my favorite color and code. I can see through it. We're going to need two layers already. But it's okay, this is an easy painting, there's no raging, this is just calm. Very calm. Ooh, look at that. So I wanted to talk while I'm painting because this is easy. I have to do two layers, we're going to be here for a while. I want to talk about some games because I feel like I don't talk to you guys about the fact that outside of YouTube I am streaming every day and I've played games longer than I've done videos for a while now. It started with Pokemon and then it turned into Maple Story and then Minecraft. I had a Lenovo laptop that ran Minecraft for 10 frames and it got op-defined and it gave me 15 frames and I was like I need to hold this to get precision, sorry. That all started back in like elementary school. I didn't really hang out with friends outside of school. We didn't really live near each other, I only had a next door neighbor which turned out we know we're not going to talk about it. So I had like two gamer friends that I always played every game with. It eventually turned into CSGO. Then I got a DS and that's when I learned Animal Crossing Wild World which was like whoa, wow that's a great game. Love it to death every day. I also got Fossil Fighters because these were all games that were like $10 at GameStop at the time. They were discounted because no one would buy them. And who wouldn't buy Fossil Fighters, it's such a good game. Oh I also was on the Facebook gaming scene back when Facebook had games. I played really bad ones like Pet Pet Park, Monster Galaxy, some Aquarium thing I forgot what it's called. I'll look it up. And it's been a good 8 hours every day playing games instead of like doing anything productive with my life. Obviously I played all the Pokemon games. Generation 4 was the best. And then I got a 3DS and I played like all the other Pokemon games like Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky which was the best game ever of all time. And then that's when I started focusing on YouTube but I never thought about Twitch streaming until like 3 years ago. I started streaming New Horizons and then I stream Minecraft and now I just do like all of the above. I have a gaming channel too. If you don't know, no one knows probably because I don't talk about it. And I just do it because like it's more fun to me than YouTube I feel like. You don't have to edit as long and I can talk to you all more which is easier. Instead of like a thousand people on a YouTube livestream where the chat is just spammed I can like actually have a conversation with people. Which is how it was when I did UNO streams but then that died. How do we like it so far? I'm going to add shadows now and I heard from a little friend the easiest way to add shadow is to add brown instead of black especially for warmer colors because then it doesn't make it gray and dirty looking. I'm going to add brown and I'm going to mix yellow until it gets to the color I want it to be. And if I could choose streaming over YouTube I'd probably choose Twitch to be honest. I don't know I think I just like games more in general. He's a gamer. He always was a gamer. That doesn't mean I can't like do art on streams like I've done drawing streams before. I could do painting streams if I knew how to set that up but we are not there yet. So yeah that's how I got into games and that's why I love Among Us so much because you can just play with your friends and you can murder them until they hate you. But let me know if you guys know any of the games I played. I mean obviously like I'm older. I'm going to be 20 this year. Y'all are probably like learning how to walk at this point. So I don't think that you would know MapleStory of all things. But people might surprise me who knows. I think that's an okay color. It might be too dark. Is that too dark? I think it is. Yeah it's a bit dark love. My back is also gonna die today. I'm going back to New York in a few weeks probably like less than two less than three. Because as much as I love being home and as much as I said I would never want to leave here. I'm starting to get tired of it in the way that I wake up at 3 p.m. And my body physically doesn't wake up until like two because it turns off the alarm. And I can't do anything about it which sucks. So now I'm just putting in the shadows. There's a lot of room for error. You can mess up totally and go out of the lines. And you'll be saved because thankfully Among Us has thick black outlines. Oh my hands are getting bleh. No. This freaking paintbrush sucks. I don't know why I'm looking at the reference. This is like the most straightforward thing to do. I'm just paranoid still. I'm also taking my good time doing this even though I know I should not care. Because I literally can mess up as much as I want and it'll probably look the same. Okay I'm gonna have to do two layers of that as well because that is patchy. I'm on my third layer kind of getting annoyed. I already know what route this is gonna go down. I should have erased the pencil more because you always tell me to. But I forgot I'm sorry. Sorry. I always make that mistake. I don't mean to either. I'm just stubborn and arrogant and I refuse to change my ways. But that benefits you because you get good entertainment don't you? I think the sun's going down. I think it is. It's literally gonna go down before I finish this painting. Okay for the highlight we just need white. Just a little bit of white. No I'm so dumb. Can you see that? There's white. Yeah. It spilled. So we have a pastel yellow now which is appearing as white on camera. Don't you hate it when YouTubers do that? Guys in person it's so much different. This pink just looks like blue on camera but it's not. I'm telling you please buy my product. I swear it's not blue. Maybe that's why I'm not friends with YouTubers. Am I wrong though? Do we not do that? Also I wonder how many bitches are still gonna do the day blank of blank. Because a lot of people, a lot of people did day ones but they never do day twos or beyond. There's our highlight looking like a shiny lemon. Also I should have done the background first. My bad. Don't be mad at me. Now I have to do the helmet and that is this blue mixed with some white. No. I messed up. I'm gonna do something risky. I'm gonna add one drop of black to this mixture because it's way too saturated. That's too much. Oh no. No I messed it up. I messed it up. Okay you know what that means? Montage of me mixing colors until it works. Let the mixing begin. Okay low key I think I got it. Hold on. Right? Then we let that dry forever. While I'm here I'm gonna do this background because it's basically the same color as this. Oh my god my arm. Wow I'm good. For balancing that's pretty good. Oh Jesus. Don't scare me like that. Oh my god. All right next up we need a lighter color above it. I don't like that. Nah it's too late. I can't fix it. While I'm here I can work on this because I'm pretty sure it's just a yellow bucket hat. Hmm this is a terrible brush for this. I need precision up in here. Precision. Finally we're gonna add just the line of oh no. Finally we're gonna add just a little bit of white. Just the highlight. That's cute. And now I've used up all my brushes so we're gonna have to let this dry while I go wash these. So these are all the colors I use. This is basically done now. This is still drying so I'm gonna work on the pink down here. I need a new palette. This is me about to eat dinner. So this purple is like some weird magenta with black. So like this. Oh my god it's so much black. No why are you so so it looks cool. So overpowering black. This is literally black. I put two drops of black. That means we need white. As you can tell I'm not good at color matching. This did not work either. So I'm gonna restart. I'm gonna start off with the magenta. And I'm going to add this. I'm going to mix this to this. Okay this is closer. Still needs to be brighter. I think this is the closest we're gonna get. I'm good with this. Yeah that's the best we're gonna get. So there's some here and there's some here. Wow that's pretty good. Oh this is gonna require layers too. Okay I know what that means. That means we zoom out because this is just boring painting one color. A little update on my life. I'm currently trying to graduate in three more semesters. In America because I know a lot of people don't understand our education system like me. College students usually go through four years of college to get their degree. And each major has a certain amount of credits you need to graduate. So I have 120 credits I need. People still to this day ask me what college I go to. And I'm like it's this and it's this period. Periodic table Pacific Ocean we're done. Luckily I took a lot of AP tests so 16 credits transferred over before I even went into college. And now I can graduate technically in my third year. If I take at least 18 credits each semester. So I need 54 right now I'm taking 19 this semester. And then I guess the other two will be 17-18. And that should allow me to graduate a whole year early. Why am I doing that? Well it saves a lot of money because I only have to pay for three more semesters. Instead of five. And I'm thinking it'll let me like focus on other stuff. So I can focus more on YouTube after. I don't have to worry about homework while I'm doing this stuff. But mainly more about the money because I don't want to pay a whole year more. So that's why AP classes are actually very important in high school. You should take them and you should try to get good AP test scores. Because it's easy to get those scores. I had a C plus in AP Calc BC. And I still got a five on the AP test. So that tells you the skill you need. I think they made it. So if you get a 60 something on the AP test that counts as a four average. And they grade it one through five to anyone who is confused. And I'm trying to figure out like what other job I want to do. Obviously I'm still doing YouTube. That is my main format income. I would love to do Twitch full-time. But that's not gonna happen anytime soon. If you want to talk about a real world job like an office job. Something that requires my degree. Well I want to try to find something in graphic design. I just don't know what. Nor do I know how to apply without them judging this. Me. All of this. Because it counts. They look you up. And I think some of these titles are questionable. But that's the life I chose. I chose to do that. It's mainly more about your portfolio. Like you want to have a stacked portfolio. And then they'll be like okay we don't care. And speaking of portfolio. I'm still trying to work on that and my website. If you guys want to see the stuff I did in graphic design this year. I'll gladly do a video about it. Just let me know. The only thing I talked about was the Conan Gray one. But like that was one project out of six that I had to do. And I also don't know where I want to take this. Like yeah I'm painting again. This is sort of like a paint with me at this point. Because I'm just chatting. But what else do you want to see. Obviously I need to do the self-portrait. I know I've not done that. Please don't remind me. I'm so sorry I haven't done it. I will get to it soon. But I kind of have no idea what other paintings I want to do. Because I'm not a professional painter. I do it for fun. That's what I have by the way. I think I can work on this color now. It's like a grayish blue. It's not just blue. It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. Oh god. My favorite color. Right? A bunch of white. Okay I have a sky blue. So I just need a little bit of gray. Just a little bit. I'm literally going to open this up. Take like one drop. Not even. I literally wiped it from my finger. And I'm going to mix that part. It's like actual magic. Look at that. So this whole background needs to be this color. I think I have 30 minutes of sun left. So we got a hurry. I know I said I didn't know if I like doing YouTube anymore. I changed my mind. I was obviously being dramatic. It's not that I don't like making videos. It's that sometimes I don't know what people want for me. But then I have to remember you need to do what you want. And this is what I have the most fun doing. I know it's surprising. I know I complain about doing painting a lot. But actually I like doing it. Obviously I like gaming more. But that's... I'm not going to turn this into a gaming channel. Not yet. Unless you want me to. I think it's fun that I can like take my passion for games. And mix it with my hobby of painting. Because it not only helps me improve my painting ability. But it just helps me make things that I can hang up around my room. And Michael over there. But I don't know what else I want to do. Like I like cooking. And I'm already going to make some videos here for Fredrick's Asian Kitchen. But you know when I go back to school. It's hard to cook. Because obviously I have roommates. I don't want to bother them. And it's noisy. Like the refrigerator for some reason is just all the time. That's why I'm hoping for next semester. Like I want to get an apartment by myself in New York. Which is oh it's going to be so hard to find that's affordable. So it's either a studio for one. Or a one bedroom for two. Or a studio for two. Which is basically this room for two people in New York. And that's not even a hyperbole. That's why I've debated for a while. Like was it worth it for me to come back to New York. Or would it have been better if I stayed home. Taken a gap year. And focus on YouTube and streaming. Which I probably could have done. But I also have to remember never would have met my boyfriend. And I would have gone insane. In the sense that there would be nothing to do here. And I would be stuck in this room all day. And I would probably lose my mind at some point. Because it sucks. Online school kind of sucks when you're forced to do it. Because of a virus. Kudos to people who can do online school. But I signed up for in-person classes. And they didn't give a discount or anything. Because NYU is like that. They said the education you get online is the same quality as it is in person. Which it is not at all. So it's just kind of upsetting to like adjust to this change. And then have to do it for a year now. It's hard for me to even think that it's been a year. So as much as I like to believe that if I stayed home. I could have focused on my YouTube side more. My mental health would probably be down to drink. Because every time I come home. I don't get enough sleep. I fall asleep at like 6am for some reason. And I'm not productive. Also I totally just ran out of paint. And had to mix another one. And those are not the same shade. Do you see that? See that difference? No ma'am. We gotta fix that. So yeah if you've been feeling that way too. Let me know. I know it's a first world problem. Because I'm lucky enough to still go to school and all of that. But it's annoying. Just because America can't handle their shit. A whole year of our education is kind of going to waste. Yeah I'm in New York. But I'm taking online classes. And I can't even go out. So like what difference is that? Than me just staying here. I could have saved a whole year of rent. But I also would have been lonely. Because I wouldn't be near my friends. I would have had FOMO. Obviously I'm a cancer. We always feel that 24 seven. Even when it doesn't apply to us. And I wouldn't. I don't know. I don't know. And I will never know. So I should stop complaining about it. Right Frederick? Yes Frederick. Focus on your painting. Surprisingly, nah it's still patchy. Who am I kidding? Also I want to say thank you. For like sticking with me through all these years. I know the college transition is rough. Because it's harder to make videos obviously. I can't dedicate eight hours of my day painting. Because those eight hours should be for studying unfortunately. I'm just hoping by like summertime. I can just figure out a whole new way to make art videos. Or just videos in general. Like I'm not gonna do, I don't know if I'm gonna do art forever. I feel like people want to see like the college side. The study with me's. The wardrobe tours maybe. You told me. I don't know what to do yet for college. Besides talking about how the overall year went. Which this year did not go anywhere. It was just online. So there's nothing to talk about. Oh I also forgot. Like I kind of want to go back into photography. I did it in high school. It was my side job besides being a cashier. And I just stopped. And I don't know why. Because in New York there's a lot of people who would pay for like just a simple portrait. But I don't know how to market myself. So that's one thing. And all the other photographers there are already established. But I would love to do that as my job. Because I spent like four years doing it. It would not be wise of me to let that go down the drain. Even though I quit piano after 14 years. I also want to do piano compilations again. But once again that's gonna be a summer thing. Because I can't think of a you know an entire track. Just off the top of my head. It's gonna take me months to figure out a compilation. So thank you for bearing with me. Okay so here's everything. Only thing I have left is this little part. Some stuff is still patchy though. Like I don't know how. But this brown is still patchy. And I have to continue to fix it. So I'm gonna let this dry. We're gonna work on this part. And then finish plankton. And then we should be able to outline. I'm also going to re-wash everything. Because once again that happened somehow. And my foot's numb. God damn it. How do I... I'll just sit here until it's done. Being dramatic. And an update on my back. Oh Jesus. That's how it's doing. That's how my neck's doing. It's still numb. It's been five minutes. I watched a whole YouTube video. And it's still numb. Should I add shadow to the bucket? I don't care enough actually. Why do I care Frederick? You should not care. Don't care about adding shadow to the bucket hat. Okay brushes are washed. My foot's not numb anymore. And we're going to finish this. So this actually requires some precision. Because it's three different shades of gray. You have light gray. Gray. And then dark gray for the outline. That's annoying. Okay I can do this. I can do this. This is done. We're gonna get another palette. Don't make that noise. Stop. That's inappropriate. Already? How has that already happened? I ju- Mmm. Okay let's start off with the lightest gray. I tapped into that black one time with this brush. And it already turned to gray. Amazing. Beautiful. I love how annoying paint can be sometimes. And just do a checkered powder. Yep. Luckily I don't have to do two layers of this because it literally looks like white. And white is surprisingly the thickest paint in the most pigmented. I don't know the signs behind it. All I know is that it's only white and black that are pigmented. And then everything else in between is like Kirk and Party City quality no matter what. So once it looks like that, we're gonna dip into the black again and mix it into our current mixture to get a darker gray. There we go. And I'm not gonna do the gray outline because I like myself. I don't want to hate myself in five minutes. Unless you have a dark, dark gray marker that's a paint marker, don't try it. You need the steadiest hands. And I don't have that. And I'm okay with that. And I know it's not gonna make a big difference in the end. This is me learning to love myself more in the new year. It's to not make myself suffer so much. Your lines also have to be pretty straight. So gays, watch out. You gotta concentrate on this one. No, I am not coming for you. I'm warning you out of love because I also need to concentrate. Because I'm not known for my straight lines. Or maybe I should be, hello? That's pretty good. Okay, that's done now. All I have to do is plankton except I will like to take a break. So don't mind me. I'm just gonna, all right. Oh my God. I didn't turn on my string lights. Yay. Okay, new angle. Everything is dry now and I just have to do this little itty-bitty part that is so irrelevant because it's like literally one brushstroke and it's done. But alas, I have to do it. So for this we need to do some mixing because I didn't bring the green with me because I wasn't thinking. So I only have these two colors. Hopefully it makes some shade of green. So that should be good. Let's use my palette knife. Let's be fancy. Okay, how is this more efficient? Am I doing something wrong? Am I dumb? Oh, maybe that's how you do it. Wow, look at me becoming fancy. That's pretty close actually to the color I need. Yeah, this is like exactly it somehow. Wow, I am so good. Okay, basically all of this is green except for just one little shadow at the bottom of its feet. If you all want to tweet at among us and tell them I made this, I greatly appreciate it. Maybe they'll see my talent and maybe they'll see my true talent which is making among us things because I was bored. That's basically it. I mean, I don't want to paint the other part yet because I know it's going to get messy. So maybe we should start tracing while this is drying. Now as for my tracer, this is all I have. Yeah, I know it's kind of sad. It's a 0.7 millimeter. So you know what I'm about to do. This is going to take me easily an hour. If you have a Sharpie on hand, that'd be great but I actually brought all my Sharpies home. So look at how long this is going to take me. Mmm. Don't mind if I do. I wanted to sit here all day with my butt in the air. If you're wondering why I'm doing this instead of just using a paintbrush, I know it's going to look worse with the brush. I know myself. I don't trust myself. So I'm going the safer route because I want to love myself in 2021. I just almost made an oopsie. You all saw that. Oh no, I made an oopsies. Oh my God, I made three oopsies. All right. Boom, boom, boom. Three mistakes. I don't really have extra paint because I didn't think I needed. Actually, maybe I do. Hold on. Okay, I might have some. I have scrapings of this color that I just managed to patch up. This we're going to have to fix. Wow. See how much better that looks with an outline? So about this. Yeah, Frederick made an oopsie daisy. I don't know how to fix it besides painting over it again. So we're just going to do that later because I don't want to think about it. While we're here, I also have to outline this part. Oh, no, I'm not. Well, too late. We're going to outline it then. What was not supposed to outline this, it looks like I am. What I wanted to do was outline this part. Good job, Frederick. It wouldn't be a video if I didn't mess up, right? I'm also choosing to outline all of these checkers because I couldn't do it right the first time and they just don't look crisp. And none of these are straight. Oh my God, do not tell me this is giving up already. Girl, we need you. Wake up. All right, quick break. The green has dried. So we have to add a little bit of black to this to get the shadow. I said a little. Come on, this much. Please don't do this to me. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's good. And you just paint a little circle right here. Just fill that part in. Oh, and my back is killing me. Thank you for asking. Please do not paint like this. This is not good for you. I am a good influence, parents. I am family friendly. Your children love me before I finish this. You got to fix this. So we're going to do our usual combo of blue. That's a little too much. Blue, white, and black. Long ago, these nations lived in harmony until Frederick came into the picture. I will one day figure out the right combination for all of these. All right, I think this color is good enough for the base. So just a little circle. Oh, that circle's, oh my God, that's so, oh my God. Y'all need to appreciate that circle. Yes, I know the outside is patchy. Do not remind me. We're not fixing it. Well, that's dry. And I'm going to make the lighter color, which is just a little bit more white. And I'm going to paint the inside of the mouth. This is about right. Am I using two hands to hold it to keep it steady? Yeah, don't question the process. Now I'm just playing the waiting game. This is so boring. Can you? While we're here, this will be a great time for me to figure out how to make this color to fix this. And I feel like I unintentionally made it already. Oh, no, I didn't. That's nowhere near. Well, we'll just make our own concoction and repaint that whole thing because I don't care. It's fine. Just be careful where you put your paint brushes in your hands because then you'll get that. It's close. It's almost there. I'm going to need a little more black and a lot more white, like that much more. Oh, that's getting closer. Okay, I like it. Wait, did I actually do it? Why don't I feel like that's exactly the same color? Did I do it? Oh my God, we did it. We did it, Joe. All right, moment of truth. That's pretty close. Do you guys see? I think it's a little more blue, but I can work with that. So just repaint everything. I'm going to have to paint around my lines again. And then I'm going to do the highlight for Plankton, which is just a smaller circle within the first circle. Do not fuck it up, Frederick. You got one shot. Perfect. Do you see? And then I have to add some lines here. And then we're done. That's it. We're finally almost done. All right, so I added the lines to the background. They're kind of thick. They should be much thinner, but I don't have a thin paintbrush. I don't have a marker either. But overall, excuse me. Just woke up. I fell asleep at 6 a.m. editing. This is what we got. I think it looks really good. I think it's cute. I can't stop thinking about the fact that this is about to busty. It's easy to paint. And I hope you guys like this paint with me, where I just talk to you guys more about what's going on in my life. I'll do more of them if you want. But other than that, that's the end of the video.
