So, I’m back. Yes, I know you didn’t ask for this, but I’m starting a series of videos by remaking older ones. Why? Because I just can’t do it any other way. I’m the type of person who’s always editing and improving something. It’s my thing. I’m the person who can’t leave anything alone, even though I’m not really sure where it’s going. Now, let’s be honest: my creative process isn’t exactly clean, it’s not this “calm flow” that some people describe. It’s pure chaos, sprinkled with a little panic, a lot of scratching out, and several “what the hell am I doing?” moments. So get ready, because today you’ll see how an owl is born out of chaos through a lot of trial and error, a mix of tools I’m not even sure about, and a solid dose of self-doubt.
Facing the Blank Sheet: A Struggle We All Know
I had no idea what to draw today. You know that feeling when you’re staring at a blank sheet of paper, as if it’s going to swallow you whole? Yeah, exactly that. So I grabbed the first thing that came to hand: a candle holder, an owl. Because why not, right?
How did it go? Well, I started with a pencil (of course) and drew the basic shapes – body, face, that kind of thing. I left the details for later. Because let’s face it, who needs details when you don’t even know if this whole thing is going to work? Then I decided to try something new. [Imagine dramatic music here] Brush pens. Why? I don’t even know. I usually use pens or ballpoints, but I thought, “Why not torture myself a little?” So, I went for it. First, thick, bold lines – those were some serious tattoo artist vibes. It actually wasn’t too bad. I thought I had it in the bag. If you don’t look too closely at the result. And then came the eyes. How I love those eyes. I can’t even explain why, but it’s my zen moment, the time to just focus and doodle. The rest of the drawing? Well, that’s just filler.
As for colours, I stick to a simple rule (how I always do when I have no idea what’s going on) – first, flat colours, then shading in another layer. Pigma Micron 005. I love that little thing. I’ve been using it for years, it’s the only tool that doesn’t make me question all my life decisions. I used it for shading – it’s basically a standard shading technique. Where I want it darker, I scribble more. Nothing complicated.
A Bit of Self-Doubt: Starting Over
But honestly: after all that work, I realized it wasn’t right. I didn’t like it. So, I started over. Because that’s just how I felt. And maybe that’s what I love about this whole process – I can start over, I can try again, and maybe, just maybe, it’ll be better. And spoiler alert: most of the time, you just need to step away from the result. Over time. Because after a few days, I actually liked the drawing.
The Voiceover Struggle: A Journey for an Introvert
About the voiceover. I’m not going to lie – doing a voiceover is a strange form of torture for me. I’m an introvert, and hearing myself speak… no. But hey, that’s part of the journey, right? It’ll get better, I promise. And if I gain a few more subscribers, I might start streaming my drawing process. But no promises.
I also realize that even though I love silent vlogs, sometimes I have to say something. So here it is: being creative isn’t about some magical talent. It’s about hours spent, learning, and most importantly, learning to see things differently. I see things that maybe others don’t see? Oh, definitely. But that’s what’s beautiful about creativity – it’s about those weird, strange things that pop into my head.
Wrapping It Up: What’s Next for My Vlogs?
So, to sum it up: I’ll be posting more vlogs – some with talking, some silent, but always honest. And if you like watching someone play with brush pens and talk about how they have no idea what they’re doing, stick around. You might learn something, or you might just laugh at my mishap. Either way, I’ll see you next time. Bye…
My (chaotic) drawing process
