Video Summary
AI GeneratedAn artist documents the process of completing a small, portable sketchbook. The video features a \"draw with me\" session where the creator finishes several spreads using a variety of mediums, including acrylic markers, watercolors, and colored pencils, while discussing their inspirations and techniques.
Hey guys, welcome to another video. In this one I'm gonna be finishing this sketchbook and
you're gonna draw with me, okay? So grab your favorite art materials,
at least what you're using at the moment, grab your sketchbook and join me.
This sketchbook, it's a very tiny one, it's roughly the size of my hand and it has been my company
from quite a while now. It's always on my purse, it goes with me everywhere, so whenever I have a
few minutes to draw I have no excuse. In here I'm currently working on a spread from an Instagram
that gives you prompts for drawing and they always have really beautiful photos that you can use.
It was a recent discovery for me, so I already started this drawing. I'm gonna finish it now
and I don't know how many pages I have left in this sketchbook. I have these two
and this is already... I want to draw on top of it probably. And yeah, that's it.
We'll finish this sketchbook and then stay tuned, subscribe to my channel and click the bell
so you won't miss my next videos because this sketchbook tour is coming soon. So yeah, these
were the pencils and the water brushes that I had in this pencil case. I also had a sharpener
and a little fabric to clean my brush and that's what I'll be using to finish this baby.
I started it with white acrylic marker for the base and then I already worked on top of it
with a luminance colored pencil. I don't have it here with me. Maybe I won't finish this now
because I will need this color. I'll show you the photo reference. This is one of the photo references.
Here's the page on Instagram and here's the prompt. It's prompt number 10, yeah, and I think
that's the the other photo that I want. I'm saving the screen because I will use it to draw.
Now I better shut up to concentrate on this and I'll leave you with some music and if you want
to enjoy my process just watch me draw or maybe you want to draw something yourself.
Maybe this same challenge, I don't know, you can do that.
and you miss boston night i never feel alone the city breeze and music the night breeze and you
and everything that matters turns to bossa nova blue
take me somewhere to sway stars in the sky with the ocean's gentle play
brazilian saudises voting on the moonlight's tune bossa nova love dancing under the moon
i went to get some acrylic markers to see if i could find the colors that i was missing
and well i i'll have to try them because they're fairly different from the colors of the
delete okay i have here a little bit of space i'm gonna cut this and this is three colors
i'm mixing it with the intense just so i can get that light pink
foreign
oh
There's coffee on the table, hot bread in the stove
Missing you isn't pain, it's affection and information
The neighbor becomes a friend
Every hug is real
In my little corner
Everything is so special
It's where the sky kisses the river
Where the moon will play
Every step becomes a dance
Every look wants to meet
In the charm of my place
Where time learns to love
In the charm of my place
Do you like it? I really enjoyed it.
Beautiful pieces of ceramica.
I'm always up to drawing them.
Ok, let's go for the next one.
I got another spread that I pre-painted
with wall paint.
It's a medium grey with a little bit of blue.
I don't know yet what I'm going to draw in here.
Lately I've been also enjoying
taking a lot of pictures when I go out.
I've been enjoying making some quick sketches of it.
For instance, these houses.
I really like this geometry.
So, let's see.
Every heart wants to stay
And if one day you leave
And fate takes you away
Keep the smell of this land
Take the shine of this air
Because here everything is simple
But love is the same
Our song is poetry
Our charm is vital
In the charm of my place
Where time learns to love
In the charm of my place
Every heart wants to stay
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the air
Because in the charm of my world
There's always room to come back
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the air
Because in the charm of my world
There's always room to come back
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the air
Because in the charm of my world
There's always room to come back
Our song is poetry
The stars come to sing
Every dream has a shelter
Every dream wants to stay
In the charm of my place
Where time learns to love
In the charm of my place
Every heart wants to stay
In the charm of my world
There's always room to come back
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the air
Because in the charm of my world
There's always room to come back
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the air
Again, I don't know what I'm gonna draw in here
It has a bunch of paints
In the ground already
I think they're probably watercolor
I don't know for sure
So maybe if I mix it
With some yellow from the Inktense
And then I'll give it a wash
To mix it
Maybe I'll have a nice color here
I don't know yet what I'm gonna draw
But maybe I'll get inspired from the color
That my ground is gonna be
This is not watercolor paper
It will probably buckle
But I will let it dry really good
Before I'll draw on top of it
Night falls slowly over Rio
Okay, let's let it dry now
Okay, my pages are dried
It's now another day
This is my setup
For the painting that I'm going to do in there
This is gonna be my inspiration
Red roofs from Pissarro
Camille Pissarro
I'm not going to try and copy it
It's not a master copy
It's just a quick inspiration
To fill up the last spread in this sketchbook
Okay, my setup works better like this
For you to see what I'm going to do
Today I feel like painting
Much more than I feel like drawing
So that's what I'm gonna do
Gonna start by mixing a light blue for the sky
Cool and fragrant breeze
Love wanders through the city
Doom just as it pleases
Mountains cast warm shadows
On the old cobblestone
And in this Bossa
Now I'm gonna start blocking the houses also
With this light color
The city breathes in music
The night breathes in you
And everything that matters
Turns to Bossa Nova blue
Oh, Bossa Nights
Take me somewhere to sway
Stars in the sky
With the ocean's gentle play
Brazilians saldizes
Voting on the moonlight's tune
Bossa Nova love
The yellow is starting to melt a little bit
Into the white
It's okay
I don't know exactly what I have underneath it
I know that last time you saw me putting
A coat of intense pencils
But underneath that
I think I had watercolors or gouache
So that's why it's melting probably
Your smile lights the pathway
My companion, my friend
This eternal evening
Where the dreamers come
Oh, sorry
I was going out of the frame
Sorry
I'll try and turn you a little bit to the side
So you can see me mixing the colors
I think that could be interesting
It's kind of a wonky perspective
But is it okay with you?
I think you can see better this way, okay?
Hope you don't mind it
I'm missing some yellow here
And Bossa Night in Rio
Is the greatest kind of show
Oh, Bossa Night
Take me somewhere to sway
The stars in the sky
With the ocean's gentle praise
Too bright
It's pink
I want it more leaning to the orangey
Or brownish side
Yeah, this
I think it's better like this
Oh, it's almost the same
In the palette
It seems to be one color
But then in the painting
It turns out to be a different one
Now we're talking
It's a little bit more brownish
This way
But I'm layering, so
It doesn't matter if it isn't
Exactly the color that I want
Because I'm gonna be changing it
Oh, Bossa Night
Rio holds you in its arms
The city never sleeps
When wrapped in Bossa's charms
I'll guide you in the evening
Love beneath the stars
Bossa Night forever
I might need a smaller brush
Because this is a very small painting
Not that I wanna go into details
Because I wanna stay fairly loose
But it's quite a small painting
So I better choose a smaller brush
In the corner of this world
There's a corner, a paradise
Where laughter is as common
As the sun in the sky
Every day there's a song
Time passes slowly
The boys play ball
Love dances in the eyes
It's where the wind makes poetry
The stars sing
Every dream has an abode
Every dream wants to stay
In the enchantment of my place
Where time learns to love
In the enchantment of my place
Every heart wants to stay
There's coffee on the table
Hot bread in the stove
Longing is not pain
It's affection and information
The neighbor becomes a friend
Every hug is real
In my tiny corner
Everything is so special
It's where the sky kisses the river
Where the moon will play
Every step becomes a dance
Every look wants to meet
In the enchantment of my place
Where time learns to love
In the enchantment of my place
Every heart wants to stay
And if one day you go
And fate takes you
Keep the smell of this land
Take the shine of this air
Because here everything is simple
But love is unparalleled
Our song is poetry
Our enchantment is vital
In the enchantment of my place
Where time learns to love
I'll add some details on top of it
With color pencils, I think
I'll let you know
I'm not sure yet
Because I love it as is
But I want a little bit more definition
And I want to get these trees
In the picture
Because there are a lot of trees everywhere
I'm not quite showing you properly
I'm sorry
But there's a lot of trees going on
On front of the houses
And on the back
I suggested it
With the colors
But I want a little bit more definition
On those
Especially on the ones in the foreground
So I'm gonna do that
With color pencils
And now let's finally
Put those tree trunks in
For that
And for drawing on top of the acrylic paints
I brought the heavy guns
The luminance pencils
Let's hope they do the work
Oh my god, they do
They go perfectly
On top of the acrylics
In the enchantment of my place
Where time learns to love
In the enchantment of my place
Every heart wants to stay
And if one day you leave
And fate takes you away
Keep the smell of this land
Light the shine of this air
Because here everything is simple
But love is like that
Our song is poetry
Our enchantment is vital
In the enchantment of my place
Where time learns to love
In the enchantment of my place
Every heart wants to stay
And when the sun says goodbye
I'll wait for you in the moon
In the enchantment of my world
There's always room to come back
Ok, consider it done
I like it
What do you think?
Lots of texture
Plenty of layers
I'm in love
And that's it
I finished this sketchbook
Ok, let's see what I've done in this video
I finished this spread
With two photo references
From Potspan's challenge on Instagram
Then I sketched this view
From these houses that I love
I ended up giving a little bit of color
To the houses and here and there also
It all seemed too grey for me
And then this painting
Inspired by red roofs from Pissarro
I love this
This is how I want to be painting now
I better do some more of this stuff
So that's it for this video
I hope you liked it
Thanks for watching
And if you stayed with me till the end
Please say Pissarro in the comments
So I know you're one of my loyal viewers
And thank you so much for that
I really appreciate it
And until my next video
Bye bye
