Monday Night Sketching

It. Hello. It is Monday, March 2nd. March 2nd. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. It is Monday, March 2nd, 2026. I'm Jason with the inspired life. Hope you're having an awesome Monday, 8:30pm ish, here and popping off for a little bit. And I want to do some sketching. We'll do a little chatting, and we'll do a little giveaway during the next. We'll say half hour so, maybe 30 minutes. Nine, 9:15. I'll wrap up. Anyway, hope you're doing good. I. If I sound tired, it's because I am. I only got, like, two hours sleep last night, so I'm dragging today. But I always have energy to come on sketch because this is what I love doing. This is my play time, my thinking time, my. My. What other time is this? Decompressing time? It's just my time. And I think in life, we all need to find something we can do that's like my time. Or, well, not my time, but our time. Well, not our time, but you know what I mean? Like a time for you to do something you love doing. And just carving out, you know, 10 minutes a day, 15, 20, whatever you can carve out doing something you love doing is really helpful on many different levels. So this is my thing. This is my jam. This. And I just love walking in nature and around the city and stuff. All right, so we're gonna get rocking here. I see. Jlm. Hey. How are you? You're in the house. I love that. I also saw that you. I saw that you purchased one of my sketch survival guides, the PDF download. So thank you so much for doing that. I'm glad you did that. I hope you enjoy it. It is version 1.0, so it's not perf. Not perfect, but kind of like what we do here. We just put things out there because if we waited for perfection, we would never do anything. We wouldn't sketch, we wouldn't draw. We just wouldn't do anything because, well, perfection is. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Thanks for watching. Hope you're doing well. All right, let's do some sketching, so. And we'll do a giveaway. I'm gonna. Here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna. I'm gonna say 9 o'. Clock. Whoever's watching live at 9 o', clock, I'll either put your name in a bucket or we'll do the wheel of names online, which my students know and love oh, so much. But we'll do a random drawing forever's watching at nine and give away a sketch. And. And I think it's going to be a choice of a couple of different ones, so that'll be fun. Yep. You got me going. Oh, I'm so good. Thank you. I love that. I love that I can inspire some fun positivity. Hey, Deborah Harris. Good to see you. Won't be long, but glad I caught you. Yeah, I'm so glad you caught me. You caught me live. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for joining us on YouTube. I appreciate that. So I think I'm gonna just. I want to just mess around with this torch I started the other night. It's not done. I think I'm just gonna have some fun. We're gonna add some blue acrylic on here and just. Again, this is just creative playtime. I don't have any plans. I just want to show up and just create. And that's. That's what just drives me, guys. The creative. The act of creating is not always about the end result. It's rarely about the end result. For me, it's about the journey, what happens from A to Z. The journey in between is what I really. It's what I love, which I embrace it just being in the moment. Sorry if I'm talking a lot. I did have coffee. Not well, I'm drinking cold coffee now. I think I'm caffeinated. All right, so we're gonna throw down some just blue acrylic on here. I gotta have a paintbrush. And again, no rhyme or reason. I'm just looking for. For paper towels, because I will 100. Make a mess. Make some room over here. All right, cool. Hope you guys can hear me see the screen. Okay. Yeah, this is fun. I always appreciate you guys. Thank you for helping to get me to 1K subscribers. It's so just so dang cool to be able to save 1K subscribers. Yeah. It was just a personal kind of goal I set, and without you all, without y', all, I couldn't do it. So thank you so much. Let's keep this growing. My next. Next personal goal is 3k. 3k. All right. I'm just gonna dip my paintbrush, and I have dirty water. I'm a dirty water kind of guy. I love it. Especially when I do industrial and grunge kind of sketches. Oh, wait, where'd the torch go? It's gone. And that's okay. Again, we're playing around, and I'm gonna pull some of this off. I'm being brave and bold. Bold with this it's just paper, it's just painting and I want to. I'm going to water this down. I'm going to pull some of this back so you can see kind of what I'm doing there. Right. You see that torch throw showing through. I also can't talk when I'm tired, So let's just pull some of that back and I'll pull a little bit more off. But you can see the torch kind of showing through underneath. So I cannot believe it's March 2nd. Holy moly. This year is just flying by so dang fast. Shout out to my friend Noel. Noel posted something. I wish I had the graphic. I don't know, I'll have to ask her permission if I could share it, but she posted a graphic that showed basically like January through December and a circle underneath it and each circle. So January had a filled circle, February had a filled circle, and then March I think was filled as well. And I liked it because basically she was saying, you know, look at all the opportunity we have left from now until the end of the year. So it's kind of like a half as glass full look at the year. Rather than saying, oh my God, like I haven't done anything in the past three months. It's more like what can I do in the next nine months? And I thought it was just a brilliant little diagram to give us a reminder. Speaking of brilliant. Not me, but check out what's happening. This. I love the way that neon yellow is showing through. So is the torch done with marker? Yes, the torch is done with a combination of things. Let me just pull out some other torches here. So the, the torch is done with a Sharpie and the colors you see are Sharpie Creative markers. So I'm a huge, huge fan of Sharpie Creative markers and regular Sharpies. So a lot of the colors on my torches will be these, you know, obviously different colors, but these tools. And also on the torches I'll use just straight up pens, ballpoint pension. So really gel pens. So if you look in here, this is my, this is my cool lock B folio. But I always keep pens in here. So I'll just use regular pens for this. And it is, it's also done on water color paper. Do I have a pad here somewhere? Yep. Hold on. So I'll do my torches on this. It's a different size paper, but I'll use Fabriano 1264 cold pressed watercolor paper. Cold press means it has a nice little texture to it. 140 pound is doesn't weigh 142 pounds. It's kind of the thickness of the paper, so it's nice and thick for watercolors. Hopefully it helps. This is fun, guys. This is really, really fun. I make such a mess when I use acrylic paint. So I was kind of really. I want to do like a glaze almost on top of this with the blue. And honestly, I haven't done this on technique on any of my torches. I want to see how it looks. And after it dries, I'll come back with the creative marker on top of it and we'll. And I'll be able to pull out some of those shapes, You know, when we add layers to sketches and paintings. Also think about subtracting layers. Right. So I'm actually just taking off some of that blue and just look how fun that looks. Just kind of that red shining through there. That's cool. I likey like it. Like it. You have to do this fairly quickly with the acrylic paint because it does dry very fast. That's cool. I think I'm gonna throw some more red on there. Hey, cool. Yeah. Thank you. Hey, Lori. Lori Jean, 64. Good to see you. Just got a new set of warm toned brushes, brush markers. Nice mix with the first set. Ooh, I'm liking that. That sounds really, really fun. I love this color, guys. This is. This is. Is this neon red or fluorescent red? This is fluorescent red. Yeah. Let's just throw some on. I'm definitely getting a little cray cray with this one, but what the heck? This. Why not, right? So again, guys, thank you for joining me tonight. I appreciate this. This will be fun. I'll be on till about 9:15 or 9:30, but at 9:00pm, whoever's watching live, 9:00pm my time, Eastern time. I'm just going to put a list of names in a hat or something and I'm going to pull out a name and that person is going to win a free sketch. And it'll be a choice. It'll be a choice. I'll give you two different options. So now I'm just washing it, not washing away. I guess I'm washing away some of the color. You guys are awesome. I thank you so much for tuning in live. All right, I'm gonna let this dry. I'm gonna let it dry. Then the last thing I'll do on this maybe tonight if it dries, it should dry in time is we'll come back over it and I'm going to pull out some of the shapes on here. And you'll see it. My feeling is it'll definitely change. I do want. I'm not quite done. I really want to. Really. I want a punch of this red somewhere. I don't have a punch of it. I need. I just need it to. Bam. To punch it up a notch. And I do want to leave a lot of the white paper, so I think I'm gonna. I don't know. We'll just punch it here maybe. Yeah, I'm just gonna let it dry like that. All right, There we go. And maybe some more down here. Just want to take this home a little bit. Boom. All right, that's cool. Hey, thank you for the thumbs up. I always appreciate you guys giving thumbs up or sharing it on the YouTube, the Insta, the Facebook, wherever you're watching. Let's just spread positivity through creativity. Why the heck not? All right, let's put this aside. What am I gonna. What am I gonna sketch next? I have no idea. I have no clue. As often when I come online, I just really don't know. This came out kind of fun yesterday. If you. I don't know if you guys saw me. Some of you may have seen this live. So this is a calendar. Here's the COVID I did the COVID on it, and it's just a calendar with blank pages. But I. I did a. For March. I said, you know what? Let's just do, like, a background. Why not? So this is March. It started up at 02. I have to kind of fill some things out. I should write March somewhere. You know, let's just use the Sharpie. So this. This is a fun idea for a calendar. Let's put March here. So now I know it's March. All right, Put this here. We got this here. Let's also pull out. Maybe we'll do some sketching. Our lock B folio here tonight. I haven't. Maybe we'll just use some pens tonight. I haven't used pens in a while. There's kind of a flat iron sketch. Here's a bridge. All right, let's do clip. I love binder clips. Binder clips are one of my favorite office supply tools. So many purposes. Always take one with me in my bag. One or two helps to keep the pages flat or locked in. Yeah, let's just sketch maybe a red. What do we want to make tonight? I'm thinking. I'm thinking, you know what? I'm going to sketch. I'm gonna do like a flower. I'm not really good at Flowers. I don't do them too often. I do irises, which are my favorites. But we're just gonna do, like, random abstract. Spring's coming up soon. It's starting to get a little warm here in Jersey. Let me just pull up a picture of a flower. We'll just kind of do my take on it. That'd be. So. Do y' all have any favorite flowers? I love irises. I grow these really amazing, like, deep purple, almost black irises. They are spectacular. So stick with me. This spring, you'll definitely be seeing posts of them. Pictures and some paintings. I always love painting them. Yeah, I also love. I like Black Eyed Susans. I don't know. Sorry, I don't know any scientific names. There's a really cool botanical garden, the New Jersey State Botanical Garden in Ringwood, New Jersey. Really, really beautiful place. If you ever get a chance to go check it out. You could definitely spend a few hours walking around there. Some cool, really cool old Tudor style building. Just a really fascinating place. All right, let's throw down some colors. I mean, some. All right, so I'm a little out of my wheelhouse, and that's a good lesson for today. Sometimes just sketch. Draw things you don't normally draw. Step outside your comfort zone. I'm going to use red. It's good practice. It makes you look at the world a little differently. It's kind of fun to kind of take your style and see what it would look like if you sketch something else. You know, I'm sketching. I'm using a red pen is what I'm. The flowers I'm looking at on my picture are yellow, and I don't know what they're called. I should put a picture on screen for you guys. Maybe they're daffodils. So I'm definitely looking at a reference image. Do any of you like to sketch or paint flowers? I love photographing flowers, especially when they have, like, bees on them or butterflies. Cool. Again, I don't know. I should know what these are called, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I'll put a picture on screen so you guys can see what I'm sketching. Maybe. Maybe you can guess what these are. You might. Some of you might know. I have a half yard of lily of the valley flowers. They smell wonderful. Ooh, that sounds. That sounds amazing. I'll have to Google. Google lily. What are they? Lily of the valleys and see what they look like. I'm sure I've seen them, but yeah, you know, part of one of the things I love about walking in nature, you know, going to the botanical garden are this. The smells. It's really. It's really, you know, well, this. The expression stop and smell the roses. Right. The. It's just so beautiful. Sometimes we're trained to just see things visually. I think that made sense that we don't always pay attention to all of our other senses. So to take a moment to pause and to smell things. Right? Flowers. Just imagine doing it right now. It's so invigorating. So make the time. Maybe this week, pick one of your senses that you don't often use and maybe focus on it a little bit more. You know, whether it's a sense of taste or touch, smell, sound, and just pay attention to it just a moment longer and see how it shifts. You're weak. Cool. Alright, so here I'm gonna put on screen. This is what I'm sketching again. I don't. Sorry. I don't know what they're called. Does anybody know? Are they daffodils in mine? Mine are red on my sketch and that's fine. We're gonna just add some fun color and make it. Make it ours. I mean, you know what I mean? Customize it. Yeah. Two out two hours of sleep, guys. My brain is shot today. Here's a color I haven't used in a while. Oh, I don't have any in there. It's empty. Dang it. And I don't have any for grabbing going right now. Next time. This is a preppy pen and there's a preppy has a really awesome yellow, orangey yellow color which would have been fun to throw down on here. But we don't. I don't have any. So we're just going to grab. I have a orange pen. Here they are. Daffodils. Yes, that's. I think I got that right. Cool. They're beautiful. They're so fragile. Zoom in. All right, so in about seven minutes or so, we'll. I'll see who's watching live. And. So I'm just gonna throw down whatever colors I'm feeling. I know they're yellow in the picture, But I just want to play with. My creative intention tonight is really just to play around with these ballpoint pens. I got a bunch of different ones. Pull out some here. Where are all the ones I just got from Muji? Here they are. So when I went to Muji a couple weeks ago, I love that store. It was actually the first time I was in it and I love it already. I'll go back again. I just bought some pens there, so I thought it'd be cool just to try them. Here. We got a. We got a yellow here. I gotta break out this green. It's. This green is calling my name. It's saying, jason, you have to use me. I am a beautiful color. How could I say no? How could I say no to that? There we go. So these are fun pens to use. I don't know what point. I don't know what size the point is on here. Does it say on the cap? It does. All right, so this is a 0.5, 0.5 point tip size, which is cool. I usually prefer 0.7. I like the tip a little bit wider. Maybe they're all 0.5s. So either 0.5s or 0.7s, I usually like to sketch with break that. This. This is a cool pen. These are Sarasas by Zebra. I like the clip on these. Check this out. Really nice spring clip. Maybe we'll bleed some of this ink too, see if we can bleed it. That'll be fun. Yeah. Let's see if I can bleed this ink. I'm not sure if I can. We'll give it a try. See, just take a brush. I'm going to just dip it in my. The dirty water and put it right on the page, and let's see what happens. I don't know if this ink's going to run, if it's going to just stay. So it's part of just being playful and experimenting. Right. So it looks like I'm getting a little bit of bleed out of it. I know the pilot's precise red will bleed. I'm familiar with that. But these other pens look like they dry kind of quickly and they don't really bleed that much, so that's good to know. Let's see if I throw color down. If I bleed it right away, what happens? Let's just throw some green here. That bleeds a little bit more the sooner you hit it. But I wouldn't. I'm not going to rely on these pens for bleeding colors. All right, two more minutes. Two more minutes and we'll do a giveaway. So what you can do if anybody. If you are interested in winning a free sketch tonight, just put your name in the chat for me. Just put or put yes, sketch or yes in the comments. Let's. That way I can put your name into the drawing, and if there's only one of you that says yes, I guess we don't have to do a drawing. Yeah, just put your name in there. Just say yes. I might break my rule. I know I said I was gonna use ballpoint pens only, but I'm gonna break out some of these. I have some kind of pastel Sharpie colors here. Let's play with these also. So I'll give it. My clock says 859, so at 9:05, I'll see how many yeses there are. And if we need to do a random drawing, we. I know there's a. There's a lag in time between my stream and when you guys are watching it. So these are Sharpie markers, very pastel kind of colors, which are really nice for spring. And I haven't really used them too much, so I don't think I've used this color yet at all. Oh, these. These warning, though. These markers have a really strong smell to them. If you're allergic to the smell of markers or you don't like it, these are really powerful. Wow. I need, like, a fan on to vent the room. Yeah, definitely. Definitely a strong scent with that. Let's scribble this color here. And I'm going to boldy those flowers. I might actually take a. Maybe a red or even yellow creative marker, and we'll kind of pull the shapes out more. All right, so far, I have one. Yes. Jlm. Awesome. Jlm. If no one else says yes, you will be an instant winner. Awesome. So my time is 9:01. So when my time says 9:05.5. So when we'll do the drawing. The random drawing, not this drawing, but the name drawing. Let's try another color. So we're just having fun tonight, guys. Playtime. Creative play time. Throwing down colors using some markers I haven't used yet before. This color, is it same as this? No, they're different. Look how pretty these colors are, though, right? So pastel y. Here's another one. Oh, here's another one. Pro tip. Always make sure your caps are tightly closed. See, that's kind of open. I love the satisfying clicky sound when we click it closed. If I lived in your country, I'd toss my name, but mailing stuff to Canada is a pain no one needs. Oh, wow. Oh. I've never mailed anything to Canada. I don't even know how. But thank you for being honest. I don't know how much it would even cost. Yeah. Love your Wall Street Christmas tree sketch in your gallery. So cute. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, I have a few different ones on there. Oh, just one Wall street, though. Thank you. I'M so glad you enjoy it. And you just gotta move. You just gotta move. That's all. I appreciate that. These markers are interesting to me. They're not. I don't know. Some of these colors are going down really good and some not. Like, I'm not liking the way this color is going down on the paper. It's. How do I explain it? It's kind of inconsistent. Interesting. Let's try this one. Two minutes. Two minutes. I love. I mean, I love the color on the cap. I wish these markers had more, like, marker juice in them. Does that make sense? They're really. They're brand new, and they feel like they're dried out already. So they're not. The ink really isn't flowing out of them, and maybe that's what my issue is. I'm not sure what's going on. Yeah, they're not really. They're not playing nice. It makes me sad. Like, this blue went on amazing. All right, all right. One minute. I'm gonna look at the thingy. Less than a minute, and we'll see who. See if there's any other yeses in there. All right, cool. It's a very weak color. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. So I don't know if the weakness is the. The marker is just not marking as strong as it could be. I don't know if I'm using it wrong. I mean, is it the paper? So I have to really play around with these more. Love the colors, but I'm not a fan of the way they're going down yet. All right, I see one yes. I don't see any other yeses. So we don't have to do a random drawing. All right. Congratulations to JLM 517 Rocks. You have won yourself a sketch just by putting yes in the comments. Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate that. So you have a choice. I am going to. You have a choice of a Liberty Torch sketch. And here you go. You can have A or B. The one on the left will say is A and one on the B. The one on the B. The one on the right is B. So a B. Let me know which one you like the best. And congratulations. Thank you so much for being in the chat here live and participating. So great having you. And yeah, just. Thank you so, so much. So let me know if you like A or B, and then you can. If you like, you can email me your mailing address and I'll put my email here in the chat. It's pretty easy. So My emails in the chat guys, it's just Jason attheinspiredlife.com. so yeah, feel free to email me your mailing address. Awesome. Love it. What I love even more is being able to give one of these away. That's so fun. Speaking of which, how is this thing drying? Very, very cool. All right, so we're going to do two more things before we wrap up tonight. I want to, we'll come back to this, play around with that. And I want to pull out, I think I'm gonna pull out some of the shapes on this with a creative marker. A please and thank you. You're welcome. So a is this one right here. It is yours. Congratulations. So just email me your mailing address and I'll make sure you get it. Thank you so, so much. It'll be today's Monday, right? So I will pop it in the mail this week at some point in time. Awesome. Congratulations. And then this one I'll take to NYC and we'll give it away. Or it might be the one, one of the ones I try to sell in Central Park. I mean here, here's a close up. You guys can see how nice these colors are. And maybe it's just me, maybe because I'm so used to boom in your face color that the softness, I have to embrace the softness of the colors. Deborah, thank you for joining. Hope to catch you again. Please feel free to always say hello when you're watching and thank you for joining us. Have a great, great night. I kind of like this, guys. I actually am really liking, I like the bleeding that's happening here. Just a very little bit of bleeding of the red. So let's play around with this sketch a little bit longer. Alright, so this is the one. Put it here. Let me put it here. So I remember. Can you guys see this? Okay. Or should I make it bigger? Should I zoom in? So I'm just coming in, throwing down some scratchy lines on here. Oh, I'm gonna zoom in anyway. There you go. Then you can just see some of the scratchy lines I'm throwing on here. So this is what's making it more me is just being kind of loosey, goosey scratchy with the lines here. See if this ink bleeds. Here. Not really. And I just, I just see a pro tip in the comments about the markers. I'll have to go back and check that. Are they alcohol ink? That's a good question. I don't know. I mean there's sharpies. I'd have to look it up. It's a good question. Should I be bold and throw some marker on here? Maybe, maybe not. Let's keep using some gel pen. Here. It. Where's that green? Let's try one of these. Let's try this green. I don't think I use this one yet. You see, this green is really going on pretty nice. For acrylic markers, rehydrate using golden airbrush medium. Oh, I. I'll try that. I. That's a. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. Yeah, I think it's just so dry that some of these markers need hydration. I'll definitely try that. I have to buy some of that. I don't have any of that medium here. All right. It's cool. I want to pull out the outline of the flowers a little bit more. I was. I was thinking of the creative marker. Let's. Where the heck is it? Should we do it? I kind of like the scratchy. You know what? I don't usually second guess myself, but I am tonight. I like the scratchy look of the pen, so I don't want to use the marker on it. I'm liking this. The scratchiness. If I throw a marker, it's going to be too. It'll make the edge too. What's the word? Fine. I want the loose. Kind of the loosey, goosey look here. So I'm just going to go over and keep my line scratchy, but pull out with the pen. There we go. This is my favorite red color. I love the Pilot precise red. So if. When I need a go to for red, this is. This is it. This is the color. I like it over any red watercolors. I like it. I like it over the red creative marker. So Pilot precise pens and I go way back. This is all I would sketch with years ago was just black Pilot precises. I still sketch with them. So if I don't have a sharpie, I'll go to my Pilot precise pen. I just love. I just love that red color. And you can see how the. The shapes of the flowers are popping out. This is. This has turned out to be a fun little sketch. Let's put a black frame around and see what it looks like. So I'm a little. Little out of my wheelhouse. And that's kind of one of the things I wanted to get as a takeaway tonight. Sketch things you're not comfortable sketching. Like, you know, I love architecture. That's my go to. So I wanted. Spring's coming, so I wanted to try some flowers and bring My style to the flower world. Right. These are. Daffodils are really cool. They're. They're very architectural to me. Right. They have these kind of these columns, these long stems which are holding or supporting the structure. So even though they're flowers, I still see architecture in them, which is really fun. All right, where's that frame? I have one here. I'm gonna be near Michael's this week. I'm gonna pick up. Need some bigger frames or bigger mats. Yeah, I like it. All right, cool. I think we're gonna wrap on this sketch. And then let's. For the last 12 minutes, we'll wrap at 9:30, we'll come back and we'll see what we can do with this little teaser there. We'll see what we can do with that one. Yeah, I'm happy with this one. Cool. That was fun. I gotta remember to start just putting dates, dates on my sketches. I'm so bad at dating my sketches. March 2nd, right? So we got zero. Oh, what is under here? Oh, I got the elastic. March 2 26. And these were daffodils, right? Daff. Oh, my gosh. D, A, F, F, O, D, I, L, S. Hopefully I spelled that right. Cool. That's fun. Alrighty, let's put this one aside, leave it out so I can take a picture. We'll post it later. All right, let's bring this bad boy back, and we'll wrap on this one. I also use Montmartre acrylic flow medium for acrylic paints and pit and paste that are drying out. For pens, marker types, drip some on the nibs caps. Let soak with nib upward, check shake for fluidity. Repeat till juicier, then store horizontal. Whoa. Those are some amazing pro tips. Thank you for sharing. I will. I'm definitely have to go back to this chat. Thank you. I really, really, really appreciate those tips. That's awesome. All right, let's pull this one home. Put some of these markers away. So here's my overall thoughts on these Sharpie kind of pastel colors. I love the colors very, very much so. Some of them seem to flow better or more juicier on the paper, and that could be a hydration problem. So I definitely will be playing around and try them again. Yeah, so that was kind of fun. And I need a rubber band, but I don't have one. So we'll put them in here. Oh, I forgot I had a red one of those. So we'll stick them in here for now. I really. I need to really redo My studio here. All right. And these were. These were the muji pens. Really fun pens. Plus, the muji is fun to say. We have the Sarasas by zebra. I love these pens, so I want to put them back in my lock. B Folio, shout out to Lockby. You know, Lockbee, you know how much I love your stuff. Thank you so much for. Thank you for all the goodness you've created over the years. You are still creating. You're awesome. All right, that's good. Sorry I'm in cleanup mode, but I just want to. There we go. Alrighty. So this is kind of how this. This wash look that I threw on top. So my job now is to bring this home, and I want to pull out some of these shapes. This was just me being playful. I wanted to see what would happen if I threw some acrylic. Did kind of a. An overlay on top, pulled some of it off to show the torch underneath. And. Yeah, we're just having fun with it. I know I want to use white, so definitely want to try some white there. All right. Little ASMR for your night. There we go. I like how the white's pulling out. Some of the shapes back out again after we put the overlay of acrylic on there. Where's blue? Here we go. It. Let's break out some neon yellow color pencil here. Oh, that's awesome. I love the way this. I love this color right here. I love what's happening right here. That looks so awesome here. Yes. I'm that guy that geeks out over color and watching paint dry. I know, I know. I know what you're thinking. But you know what? We all are. We all have our souls lit in different ways. And sometimes some of these colors that just happen are really fun. Yeah. That looks so cool. I love that. That is sweet. I'm going to pull out some of the detail in here to give it some shape. Let's try this blue Sharpie marker. There we go. That's cool. That seems to be working. Just a little def there. Little definition. I want to pull out the red on here. So let's revisit quiz time. Quiz time. What is my favorite red color? Or I should say my favorite tool for using. For throwing down red? If you said pilot precise pen, you are correct. I love the pilot precise red. Let's throw some on here. And I got two more minutes till we wrap up, so feel free to put any questions, comments in there before we wrap up. If you're on YouTube, would love for you to give it a thumbs up. Share this out. That would be huge. Thank you again for helping me get to 1k. Let's next gold 3k. So I just pulling out some of this these shapes with this red. So I love this red. I love the red pilot pen on top of that red acrylic marker. And you can see kind of the scratchy scribbly lines on there. That looks really cool. I think I need to bring this home with a little bit. Something I love to do on my torches. You can see I did it here. I love the red kind of outline to bring it home. So let's do it on this one as well. And that's the red acrylic marker. Hey Tanya. 333 we had some people on Instagram. Hey. Oh, they're not on there anymore. Hey John. Hey. Tammy was on. I wish they were still on there. Would have been cool to say hello. It. I'm liking this one. I have to say this is really different than the other ones I've done and it's calling my name. I need some blue. All right. I think this torch is done. I just have to write be the light on it. What should I use? Oh, let me try a white gel pen. So I'm trying something here with. Because I love. I love those. The lock B quattro to put my pencils in. But when they get too short they get lost in the bottom of the pocket. So I'm putting a rubber band on there to help keep them afloat. Right. Hey, Jen's in the house. Jen, how are you? Good to see you. Hope all's well. Always great seeing you. So that rubber band trick. Hopefully it works so that I don't lose lose my pencils into the the upside down for my stranger Stranger things fans out there. I don't want my pencils going to the upside down. So we're going to keep them up top there. This is cool. I likey likey. Let's put be the light on it. White gel pen. Zoom up. Zoom up. Is that the expression? Zoom in. There we go. These gel pens are pretty sick. I love them. Did I just say that? Sick. Oh my gosh. I guess I did. All right. I'm a high school teacher. I can say that stuff. Although it makes the kids cringe. It says be the. Light. I'm going to put this out there. JLM put this out there for you since you won the torch earlier tonight. I'll put this one out there as well. So this is. This was your choice. Option A. Option A Which is definitely yours. I have to say, I like this one enough that I'm willing. I like it enough that I think. I think it's a cool piece. It's very different than other stuff I've done. I'll give you that. So you have a choice. You can keep A or if you want to switch to B. It's totally up to you since we just created it live. And I won't be offended if you say no. I didn't know how this was going to turn out, but I have to say it. I really like it as I add more stuff to it. Hey, thank you, Jen. I appreciate that. Yeah. Have a great night. Thank you for popping in. It was good seeing you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Oh, yeah. 1K is awesome. It's such a great, great achievement. So thank you for all your support. I appreciate you. And there we go. All right, guys, tonight was a really fun sketch session. I had a good time. Thanks for hanging out. We did everything from torches to some flowers. That was fun. So, look, I'll be definitely be doing more flowers this spring. And iris is 100%. I. I do iris. I've been doing iris sketches I don't know, the past five years, four years at least. So we'll definitely be. They'll be coming out. Usually they come out, I think, in end of April, and they don't last. They only last about two weeks.
