Draw Your Journal || Episode 4

[@LolliMolly09]

I am EXACTLY the same when it comes to trying to be creative. If I have something to work from, the inspiration is endless, but if I have to come up with my own idea, my brain is an absolute wasteland lol

[@thrawn4emp]

The way I've also punched myself in the face 100 times

🤣

This is so cute! Before I clicked on the video, I thought this might be summarizing a journal entry into a single art piece. I wasn’t able to consistently journal for many years, but lately I have been. Maybe if you happen to journal, that could be really neat to try and condense a whole day into one character or just one art piece. :] Love what you’re doing with your channel, I’m a new fan and I love putting in your vids while I also draw or craft!

omg the purple dinosaur is soooooo cute

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Stegosauruses are my favorite. ❤️

[@melindarivera6598]

Hey friend! So glad to hear from you today! 😊

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Hey hey!

[@Taracinablue]

Aw, cute dinos. The pop art is fun, too. I love sparkly diamond snow, too! I dunno how to capture that, but your scene is very pretty 😊

[@Furtado76]

You are zoooo artistic ... I love your art ❤

[@tracybowling1156]

In my opinion, if you're a beginner, you are at an excellent start.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Aww thank you. It's been a couple of years that I've been into art, but making little improvements all the time. 😁

[@patresaplus3274]

Your videos are very relaxing to watch

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you!

[@ieatcatpisslololololol1441]

2:02 one of the reasons why you're one of my favourite youtubers😭 and your art (as well as your nails) are amazing! i hope you reach 10k subs soon, you deserve it!!

[@melindarivera6598]

I am not exaggerating when I say that you have made me belly laugh, like literally LOL, more times than all other channels put together. When you said you've punched yourself in the face so many times just pulling up your sleeves, I lost it! 😂😂 I do the same thing, more times than I'd like to admit! Haha

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

🤣🤣

[@melindarivera6598]

@@RoseRequinCrafts no lie! After I finished this video, I sat down to work, and pulled my pants up at the waist and punched my boob! 😂😂 See!? Clumsy! Lol

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lmao. Boobs are always in the way.

[@amyember]

Maybe I should make my own art journal one day😏

[@pepperallen7157]

I watch these because I try and get ideas for my drawingd

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

The dinosore was hilarious!! 🦕 The 3 color challenge was popping!! 👍 Your snow picture was very artistic and how you see snow! ❄️ Iridescent and rainbowy! 🌈 I would rather see that than the brown, grey muck that is out there otherwise! 😢 But... I don't like walking or driving in it. My level of grace seems similar to yours... I cannot count the number of times I have landed on my tailbone in this weather, and I've had the most car incidents in it as well... if I could watch with a hot chocolate from inside a toast ski lodge only, I'd love it!! 😂🤣

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

I'm pretty sure my tailbone is dead from the amount of times I've landed on it, lol.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@RoseRequinCrafts Lol!! 🤣

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

I’ve heard ppl say prismacolor pencils aren’t what they used to be. Guess I could compare since I have a smaller set of them from when I was in college and my teenage son has a set that I bought recently for him. I feel like layering is key, lots of layers, combining colors. Love your videos, I’ve been dying from the flu this week. My cat Hobbes has been watching too while he’s supervised my recovery.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Awww

[@laurensbabushka]

hi rose

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Aww, thank you so much! 🥰

[@tundeberdefi9839]

Hey Rose! I really like your 3 color page+ The french fries did really pop! Looks soooo cool! 😍 You are such an underrated yt artist. Hope it will change 😉🤭❤

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much!

[@SmallArtBigHeart]

The dino-sore page is so cute and I love the pop art page! The design of the cup on that page makes me think of cups in the food court at our mall when I was a kid. As for the colored pencils, the texture may be because of the quality of paper in the book you're using. Sarah Renae Clark did a video comparing papers for colored pencils and I just got some new paper I can't wait to try out thanks to that video.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Oh, awesome! Thanks for that!

[@SmallArtBigHeart]

@@RoseRequinCrafts you're welcome!

[@ArtisticKatz]

It turned out great!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you!

[@mostlyghostey]

Just so you know, to get that creamy colored pencil look you need to press REALLY hard and go over your colors coloring in several directions.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you for that tip! 😁

[@DreamaCorbyn1]

Awesome art work...

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you so much 😀

[@wendiharkness407]

As always, all three are great and I love them all but my favorite is the pop art diner food! 🥰

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you! 🥰

[@chronischgeheilt]

The fact that you have punched yourself accidentally on several occasion immediately have you bonus Likeability points for me heheh 😊 For reference: *Me and a friend cooking together* Friend: *hands me rice to open* Me: you Sure bout that? I'm a huge klutz.... Friend: Ah you'll be fine, I'm sure! Me: *goes on to open the bag* MAJORITY OF BAG NOW EXPLODED ALL OVER KITCHEN. 😂

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol, I can just picture that scenario

[@sparksalot7323]

The snow page was super cute!

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you. 😁

[@elizabethtruett9413]

All three pics are great! My favorite is the Dino-sore one. I love your commentary. I laughed when you said you punch yourself in the face. I’ve done that many times when pulling my blanket up at night! 😆

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

🤣

[@PurpleWillowArts]

Loved them all as usual. Dino-Sore was a perfect pun. The Dino fight club made me laugh. They can’t talk about it. lol. The snow page turned out so cute! I know what you were trying to show. I love snow too. It’s my fave and in Houston it’s rare. It’s actually snowing (flurries) right now but it’s very rare for us.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

We have about a foot and a half on the ground right now. Other than being about 10 degrees below zero, its perfect.

[@PurpleWillowArts]

@@RoseRequinCrafts oh my! The coldest we have had is 17 degrees with a wind chill of 10.

[@jessomint]

I hate snow. I'm a Floridian (I know, I know) and the first time I saw snow, I thought it was ash. That same winter, I got strep so bad I ended up in the hospital. I'm not very resistant to the cold so I'm not a fan lol. BTW, I really like the pop art piece, but as an avid cotton candy fan...that ain't it. 😅 At first I thought it was a cinnamon roll. (I'm so sorry) I've never tried drawing cotton candy though. I bet nailing the texture is challenging.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Lol, I think its the color. I used a reference that looked really good, but it was pink amd had the paper cone so I think it was more obvious.

[@jessomint]

@@RoseRequinCrafts you're probably right! That makes sense.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

The color really is god awful for cotton candy. It looked like a liver.

[@jiyongkwon353]

I am so glad someone loves snow like I do. Winter is my favorite season but I am glad. Pretty art love it all.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you!

[@sorry-I-write-long-comments]

The thing with coloring pencils is patience, so it's probably not the medium for you, since you have said you don't have patience in many videos😅 It's all about coloring lightly and layering. The first layer should be barely visible, the next layer you will add a tiny bit more pressure, then the next layer you will add a tiny bit more pressure, and so on.... I think most professional coloured pencil artist probably do 10+ layers. I have never done more than 5, and still it turns out amazing. But I hate coloring pencils for bigger area. when I use them, I am coloring small (currently I am coloring Disney characters, where there are 3 A4 papers for the entire picture, on those 3 A4 papers there are 54 different characters, which probably tells you how small they are🙈) When coloring in b bigger areas, I believe you do the best option, color with a marker first (you could get waterbed markers, for those times you can't use the alcohol ones. they aren't as good as alcohol ones, but they are making a base color as good as the alcohol markers🥰) I am so happy Aussie Crafter told me about you. Have been binge watching all you videos, because I love just seeing your cute style, and hearing to you talk😊

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Thank you. Also your name 🤣🤣🤣

[@sorry-I-write-long-comments]

@@RoseRequinCrafts Yeah, my comments always end up being long, no matter what I try to make them shorter🤣

[@sierramcwenie6700]

As someone who does colored pencil drawings that aren't scratchy and are very opaque, you're completely correct. I press VERY hard. I press hard any time I write though. My hand is always in pain.😂 Also, I didn't know you were a teacher! What grade? Fellow teacher here.

[@RoseRequinCrafts]

Ah! Thats good to know. I just need to be more aggressive, lol. I'm a teach preschool at a Montessori preschool.
