1. Welcome and introduction: Welcome to my new class Ghost of Christmas, painting festive ghost and tree gaze. In this class we'll be creating three vibrant and whimsical holiday projects each filled with playful ghost and colorful Christmas trees. Our three projects are Santa's Little Ghost helper, this one, a cute scene featuring an adorable ghost. Then we have peekaboo under the Christmas tree, tiny ghost hiding inside and around a decorated Christmas tree. And lastly, we have midnight ghost gathering, a magical nighttime illustration with glowing ghost gathering around a festive tree. Before we begin the main project, we will start with the basics, how to paint different kind of Christmas trees, how to draw simple and cute ghost characters, how to design gift boxes, decorations, stars and ornaments, and how to explore different color combination for festive cost illustration. Most of the video in this class are in real time, so you can easily follow along at your own piece. This class is perfect for beginners and enjoyable for anyone who loves festive imaginative art. You don't have to use gauze only. Watercolors and bras paints for beautifully too. And if you don't want to use black paper, you can paint everything on white paper as well. Hi, my name is hal. I'm an artist from India, and this is my skills here profile. I teach gauze, watercolor ink and oil pastel classes. These are some of the class that are related to the Christmas and holiday seasons. You can check this out too. You can find more of my work on Instagram and YouTube. So let's begin. I'll see you in the next video here, we'll start with the class project. 2. Class project: For your class project, I would love for you to create your own festive ghost illustration, inspired by the technique we learned in this class. You can choose to paint, sent us little ghost helper, peekaboo under the ghost tree. Midnight ghost gathering, or you can even mix and match ideas to create your own original ghost them holiday artwork. Feel free to experiment with different ghost expressions and say various Christmas tree styles, your own gift boxes and patterns, unique color combinations, and any additional festival element you'd like to include. Once you finish your painting, please upload your project to the class project gallery. You can also see your practice sets, ghost sketches, tree variations, gift box pattern, or even color taste. I absolutely love seeing your process, not just the final artwork. If you enjoyed this class, I really appreciate if you would leave a review. Your feedback helps me improve, and it also helps other students discover this class. I can't wait to see your adorable festive ghost, and I'll see you in the next video with a list of supplies. 3. List of supplies: For this class, you will need very basic supplies, pencil and resort to do the pencil sketching for our ghost and the tree, and then we'll be needing masking tape to secure the paper. Tissue paper will come in handy too. Then we have watercolor brushes, and watercolor brushes of a small sizes will do the work. I'll also be using brass paints, fine liners, and white jelly pen. I'll be using the black fineliner or bras paint to add a little bit of detailing and white jelly pin to create ghost or do a little bit of highlines. Instead of the white jelly pin, you can also use white gaze. If you have a sparkle paints, you can use that to create ornaments. I'll also be using a little bit of white ink. Then we have got gauze. I have got the semi gauze of 24 colors. You don't need to use the gauze. You can also do the same thing with the watercolor. Just use a little bit more intense consistency of the watercolor to do the coloring. In here, I'm using black colored paper of 250 GSM. If you want, you can also use white paper of white watercolor paper. It will do the work. I'll also be using white colored pencil to make the outlines a little bit more clear and bit more visible. So these are the basic supplies that you will be needing. 4. Tree sketches: Welcome to the first part of the demonstration video in here, I'll be showing you how you can create the Christmas tree, different type of ornaments, different gifts, as well as how you can do the coloring for the gifts, the coloring ornaments, as well as a little bit of retailing. These are all the three projects, and I'll be showing you the various elements that we'll be using for our project. First, let's start with the Christmas tree. The best for the Christmas tree will be very simple, this kind of triangular C. Simple triangular C. This will act as the best for the Christmas tree. This is the very simple version of the Christmas tree. Now let's do the second one, starting with the Bs, the triangular C for the Bs. And in here we'll be dividing into different sections and create the curvier lines. Starting with the simple saves a bit conical saves for the edges of the Christmas trees using these conical saves to divide it into different sections. Like here, dividing the Christmas tree into different sections. You can vary the seeps and the sizes of these divisions. Let's do another kind of Christmas tree once again, starting with the basic triangular save. I hope the pencil lines are visible in here. Later on, I'll be going with the white colored pencil to do the outlining and make it a bit more clear. So this will be the mese for our Christmas tree. In here, I'll be creating same kind of outlining, like weed for the second one. But instead of curved see for the middle, but in here, we are creating a bit more pointed edges. This is another kind of Christmas tree that we'll be doing. Let's make the outlines a bit more clear. Right now in here, I'm using the jelly pen to do the outlining. With the jelly pen, you'll have to take your time and do the outlining. Otherwise, it won't work. Won't be generally using the jelly pen to do the outlining? Let me show you a different kind of crafts that we'll be creating very simple saves, this kind of rectangular saves. And for the lid on top, I create a bit thicker triangular seam. This kind of small ribbons that will be wrapped around the Christmas gift and the presents. Here's another one. So just wearing the saves in the sizes of the triangular sea. Instead of this, you can also create square like seam. Here's another one. This is cylindrical sea. So it's lying on the ground, ribbon on the top, and this will be the one more ribbon tied in here. A bit of square s for this gift parcel. So now let's do the outlining for the ribbons. Here's another one. So this time, same kind like we did for the third one, cylindrical see pens on the top. So these are just the basic outlines of the parcel and the gift that we'll be creating. Instead of this, if you want, you can create other kinds and other varieties of the gift parcel as you see fit. Let me show you the seeps for our ghost Mini ghosts. Very simple seeps. So this kind of the seeps create organic seeps like this. And if you want, you can also create tiny projections like this for the ghosts hands. Coloring for the three ghosts using different medium. So right now, I'm using the jelly paint to do the outlining for the ghost. For one of the ghosts, I'll be using white ink. For one, I'll be using the jelly pen, white pine. And for the third one, I'll be going in with the ghost. Let's create the outline for the third ghost and then we'll do the coloring. And as you can see, with the jelly pen, you have to be a bit cautious and patient to create the outlines. Now, let's do the coloring for the first one. As I mentioned here, I'm using the whiting, a thick layer of whiting to do the background or the first layer for our ghost. I'll be keeping the ghost simple only using one color, but if you want to create a little bit of shadows and a little bit of folds, you can use a bit of green to make our ghost a bit more detail. So use a bit thicker consistency of the whiting or the colors that you are going to use to do the coloring for our ghost. In here, I'm using a smooth paper, and it's a little bit hard to overlay the color on top of it. But I choose this smooth texture as it will preserve the glossy effect of the gauze. Instead of this, if you use bit rougher texture of the paper, you can just easily overlay the color on top of it, and it will also seem a little bit of time. With this layering. It takes a little bit more time with this smooth surface of the paper. And the blending of the colour is a little bit trickier in here. I would advise you to use a bit rougher texture for the paper. Right now, in here, I'm using gauze to do the coloring for our third ghost. Do use a bit saturated consistency of the gauze to do the coloring. With the ink, the intensity of white is somewhat more better as compared with the gauze and the gelpen. With a gelpin you'll have to do two or three layings of the colors. And still, there are a little bit of empty spaces in tin. So mostly I'll be using the white ink and a little bit of gauze, too. For this third one in here, I'm using the elpin to do the coloring. So as you can see, I'm creating smaller strokes to feel the entire region. Okay. Still, you can see a little bit of black visible through this. I won't be using this. I'll only be using the chilling to do outlining for some of the section and use it to create a bit of highlights and reflections. Instead of this, you can also use concentrated white color and acrylic color. That will also work. Now, let me show you different kind of stars and star like ornament will be creating. So using the jelly pen to fill the insides with it, this kind of simple seen. Apart from this, white, I'll also be using yellow to create this kind of stars and ornaments. And for those, I'll add a little bit of white on the sides to sew a little bit of reflection on a bit of highlights, and also to do a little bit of outlining toque. Here I'm using whiting to create this star. So with the ink, you will have to bit coarses and create small strokes to the outlining. Let's create a star with it. For some of the coloring with white ink, I'll be going in with the jelly pen later on when it drows to make the outlines a bit more clear and distinct. Since overlaying this on top of this smooth surface is a little bit trickier, and I'm not able to create that kind of smooth and small lines. Now let's do the coloring for our gift parcels. In here, I'm directly using the gauze to do the coloring. If you are not that comfortable, you can start with panzski and then feel the colors inside with the gauze. Create this kind of triangular or cylindrical seeps and and feel the color inside it. Use a bit thicker consistency of the color. Don't dilute it a lot. For the first one, as you can see, I used a bit of more water. The lower region a bit more thicker, the upper region a bit lighter. But when it dries, the consistency will become somewhat uniform. And since in here, I'm using smooth surface for this paper, the glossy effect of the gauze will be preserved, and it will look smooth and shiny. Right now in here, I'm using the light purple to create the gift parcel. You can use other colors to feel free to use colors of your choices, you can use yellows, red, greens, blues, and different seeds of this color to create different kinds of gifts and parcels. These are just the simple seeps that I'm using to create it. You can also create the gift parcel in the seeps of the heart seep or somewhat of different bit larger and smaller gift. And you can also vary the seeps and sides. In here, I just varied the saps and sizes a little bit. And here, I'm using our Tarket of the pink to do this outlining for our large gift parcel in here. And now let me show you how I'll be doing the coloring for the ribbon wrapped around the gift parcel. I'm using this red and just creating the outlines for the ribbons signed around the gift parcel. And now let's do the outlining for the gift parcel, too. I'll be starting with the coloring for the gift parcels. And when it dries, I'll be going with another color to create this ribbon tied around the gift parcel. Here's another one. Right now, in here, I'm using aqua colour to do the outlining as well as create the ribbons tied around the gift parcel. I'll also be creating patterns and design inside the gift parcel to give it a little bit more characteristic. You can create your own designs and pattern. Now, let me show you some of the ornaments that we'll be creating. This is small circular seeps wearing the seps and the sizes a little bit, you can make them a bit larger and a bit sander like this. Then we have stars. Here we have got six pointed stars. With a smooth surface, it was a little bit difficult to control the bras. Mostly, I'll be creating the ornaments on top of the Christmas trees. And since we'll be using a bit of two or three seeds of the coloring for the Christmas tree, we will have a bit of rough texture. Creating those ornaments on top of it will be quite easy since we'll have rough texture. And also using different colours to do the coloring for the ornaments. In here, I'm using blue. Creating large bubbles ornaments in here. Feel free to use other color combinations. So here we have got to a drop like see. Mostly, I'll be using light yellow, orange, red, light blue, blue, and a bit of white to create the ornaments of different kinds. And you don't have to create the kind of ornaments that I'm creating feel free to experiment and use different kind of ornament as you see fin. And with these, we are done with this first part of the demonstration I'll see you in the next one. 5. Coloring the tree: Welcome to the second part of the tutorial. In here, we'll be creating Christmas trees. I'm not creating the outlines, this simple rough demonstration for the ways you can create the Christmas trees. But the first Christmas tree in here, I'm starting with the lemon yellow as the big layer for our Christmas tree. On top of this, we'll be using different seats of the green and create a kind of gradient for our Christmas tree small strokes with the brush to create this kind of texture. In here, I'm using slight green and creating the same kind of small brush strokes. And as we move up, I'll be using darker shades of the green. And in here, I'm using dark green. This is just a simple way in which you can choose the coloring for the Christmas green. Now let's squeeze a second one. In here, I'm just reversing the order of the color. Instead of the darker side of the green for the top, here I'm starting with the darker side of the green at the bottom. If you're using a rough surface for your paper, then you can create it mud easily and will take a little bit of less time. In here, because of the smooth surface, I'll have to be bit cosus and use bit darker intensity of the color. Here I use bit lighter density of the green. Now for the third layer, once again, bit more lightened detnsity of the green. I'm also overlaying a little bit of each layer of the green on top of the other one. Using another lighter side of the green. The gas site that I have in here, I have got five or six shades of the greens. Apart from the greens, I'll also using a little bit of yellow stew. Here's another way you can create the tree starting with a lighter or darker side of the green as the primary coloring as the primary layering and on top of this, we'll be adding more layer, multiple layer. This is how I'll be creating one or two of the trees of the project. For this one, the second example in here, I'm using the darker side of the green. The darker side of the green as the primary layering for our Christmas tree. Now, we will wait for it to dry a little bit and then add the coloring. If you have the dough dryer, you can use it to fasten the process. Otherwise, in my case, in here because of the smooth texture, it takes a bit more time. So I generally use the blow dryer to quicken the process. In here, I'm using a bit darker tone of the cream and overlaying this on top of the light shades of the cream that we used earlier for the primary layering for our Christmas creen. Now, going with a bit lighter side of the green and overlaying it on top of the darker side of the green as well as on top of the primary layer, creating small strokes with this too. Bit more lighter side of the green. So two or three different sets of the green on top of the first layer that we used earlier. It's not looking that much great in here, but one will be creating a bit larger scale. The distinction will be a bit more clear and the different color will create a bit of gradient for different section of the Christmas tree. Instead of starting with a darker side in here, I'm starting with a lighter side of the green, creating the same kind of coloring. Ensure that the intensity of the color remains a bit thicker. Now, another side of the green, creating the same kind of smaller strokes and overlaying and just adding it on top of the second layer. On top of it, I'll be creating star in. And I waited for it to dry a little bit. I a darker tone of the green and adding it as the third layer of the coloring for the Christmas tree. We'll wait for it to dry and then add a little bit of more detail. And this stars have dried up. So in here we're using white in to create a little bit of highlights and a little bit of reflection. So small strokes with this us to create small lines like this to sew a little bit of reflection and a bit of highlight. For our main project, since the ornament side will be quite smaller, I'll be using the jelly paint to create small highlights. But in here, since the seeps are a bit larger, I'm using this white ink to create highlights. Simple seeps simple strokes to create a bit of highlights. In here, too, on top of the Christmas tree, let's create some star lights and some ornaments. Now, let me show you some of the designs in the pattern that we'll be using for our gift parcel. You can create this kind of hatching lines, a bit of parallel a bit of parallel angled hatching lines to create the pattern and design for the gift boxes. And I'm using this white to do the outlining in here. For our project, if required, I'll be using white to do the outlining. Otherwise, I'll be using black or a bit darker tone of the color. Like for this case, in case of the light blue, I'll be using a bit of darker side of the blue to do the outlining for the gift parcel, adding ribbons on top. Let's do another in here. Here we have got white ribbons for this So here we have got white ribbon for the pinker gift parcel we have in here, creating ribbons on top. Let's make the outlines a bit more clear. And here, I'll be creating designs and pattern for the inside. For this one, I just decided to create plain, simple seeps, plain simple circles. Apart from the circles, we'll also be creating triangular sep, square sep, and a combination of triangular and square. Feel free to create other kind of designs pattern and texture for your gift parcels. I'm creating a bit of triangular seep. It's not looking triangular in here, but for our project, we'll be using the Jelle pin, more clear and precise outlines for the patterns and design. The color has dried up, and in this manner, I'll be adding the ornaments. So just simple plain dots. In here, I'm just creating simple plain dots with the white ink. Simple resemblance for the ornaments wrapped around the Christmas tree. For our main project, we'll be using different colours and wearing the sieves and the sizes of the ornaments. You can also create patterns like this, simple rectangular lines. Feel free to experiment on your own and create different kinds of pattern and the designs. Now going with the black bras paint to create the eyes for our mini ghost, where simple eyes. Here, too, if you want to experiment, you can play with different kinds of eyes. You can also add the mouth for the ghost. You can also use the breast paint to do the outlining for the ribbons and the gift wrapping around the parcels. You can also use the black to create patterns and designs. I won't be using it, but if you want, you can also use that. Let's make the ribbon wrapped around the gift parcel a little bit more darker, a little bit more darker. Also be using a little bit of black, along with white to create a clear distinction in between different sections of the Christmas tree, small strokes with black and white to create the clear distinction. Apart from this, if you want to add more elements, add more different texture design, feel free to use in your own projects. And yeah, I'll see you in the next video with our first project. Good. 6. Santas's little ghost helper: Welcome to the first project, Santa's Little helper. So let's start with the basic C. And here, I'm starting with a triangular C for the Christmas tree. For this project, we have got a large ghost with Santa's Jolly hat. So this is a simple C, triangular C for our tree. In here, we'll be creating the second kind of tree that I showed you in a tutorial video. I'll be dividing the triangular CP into six different sections for our Christmas tree. Later on, to make this outline a little bit more visible, I'll be going over it with a white color pencil. Instead of dividing into six different sections, you can increase or decrease the number of the section. You can also vary the thickness of each different layers. And with the bask outlining for our Christmas tree. Now let's do the outlining for the gifts. For this project, I decided to create only rectangular seeps for the gift. If you want to change the saves in the sizes, if you want to include circular seeps or cylindrical seeps of the gift or heart like gift boxes, feel free to add them. But in here, as I mentioned, I'll only be creating different kind of rectangular seeps for the boxes. Some of them will be a little bit square, but mostly this kind of simple saves for our gifts. I'll be creating a total of eight gifts, six besides the Christmas tree, and two on the other side. I'll be leaving a little bit of space in between the two gifts, the six and two, the six on one side and two on the other side, as one of the legs of the ghost will be visible in here. Instead of this, if you want to cover the entire spice with the gifts, you can do that. Also, if you want, you can make some of the gifts quite large. Now let's do the outline for the ghost. For this project, as I mentioned earlier, I decided to create a bit larger C for the ghost. So we have got a large ghost with a Santas cap. This is optional. If you don't want to add the cap for the If you don't want to add this gap, you can just leave it as it is. The outline in here is not that clearly visible, but you can just look at this image, the final the end result of this project. Creating the outlines for the two gifts on this side. I'll be creating tiny eyes for our ghost. Hands are obstinate, if you don't want, you can just create the silhouette for the bedst ghost. In here, I'll be creating a star. I'll be using both yellows and white to do the coloring for it. And with these, we are done with the outlining. This is just optional. Since I use normal pencil to do the outlining, the outlines are not that visible, so I decided to go in with this colored pencil to make the outlines a bit more clear so that you can clearly see what we created in here, and feel free to make changes adjustment as you see fit. For this section, I have increased the speed. If you want to follow along with me, you can just reduce the speed or you can pause the video. And with these, we are done with outlining the colored pencil. Now let's do the coloring in here, I'm starting with the light seed of the green. We'll be starting with a primary layer of the coloring. So I'm using this slight green color as the primary layering, and when this dries up, we'll be adding two or three different seeds of the green to do the coloring for our Christmas tree. Instead of starting with the lighter side of the green as the primary layering, you can start with the darker side of the green. And apart from this, you can also use different shades of the green. Like, you can start with the lighter side of the green for the upper section, and as we move down, you can increase its intensity and use the darker side of the green thus thus creating a gradient of the green from light seed to darker sad. But in here, I'll be creating this simple gradient with this lighter sad of the green. Since I'm using this signing paper, it's taking a little bit more time and it's a bit hard to overlay the color on top of it. If you are using the text sheet paper, it will become a little bit more easier, and it will take a little bit less time. So I would advise you to check the colors first on a rough paper and then apply it. In this way, you can check out how the two colors are reacting with each other, how they are blending, and what kind of combination of the two greens or three green color you want to use in your project. Oh carefully filling this in between the different gift parcels we have in here. Adding a little bit of more greens wherever it's required. I'll be also creating a little bit of texture outlined for some of the section of this Christmas tree with a white letter on for now, let's add more greens wherever we think it's required. You can also create this kind of texture. Small blasto for different sections. And we will wait for it to dry until it dries lets to the coloring for the gifts we have in here. I'm starting with the yellow. I'll be using three or four different seats of the colour to do the coloring. Mostly, I'll be using lighter seats of the color. Feel free to use any color you wish. In here, too, if you want to create a little bit of gradient with a color, you can do that. To do that, you can just add a little bit of darker side of the yellow, just beside the outline sections and just beside the gift wrappings. Let's create one more gift with this yellow. Apart from this, I'll also be using orange, blues and a little bit of red. Right now, it's not looking that green, but when it dries up, the gauze on this smooth surface becomes a little bit more shiny. So that's why I use this paper black smooth paper. For this gift in here, I'm using red, a bit concentrated consistency of the gauze. This large gift with this red. Now, let's use the seam color for this one, too. If you're using smooth textured paper, I would advise you to use a bit thicker consistency of the color. Otherwise, you will have to do multiple layers of the coloring. The small gift box on the right side with the yellow is not looking that much good, so I'll be adding a little bit of more coloring later on. Now for the remaining two gift box, in here, I'm using sky blue. So the same kind of gift box, starting with the lead, starting with the lead the upper section of the gift parcel, gift box. Carefully adding the color in between the yellows and the red, we don't want the two colors to mix. Coloring for the last gift that we have in here. And with these, we are done with the primary layering for all the gift boxes in here. Adding few lines in here to sew a little bit of sad dose and reflection. This is Jobson if you want to keep your project clean, you don't have to add this. And now let's color our ghost. In here, I'm using white ink to color it. In here, I'm using white ink to color it. Carefully going over the outline, and now let's feel the rest of the area. You'll have to admit causes. We don't want the colours to mix the white from the ghost and the remaining color from the gift parcels. Still, if you want to change the seep of the ghost, make it a little bit larger, or a bit smaller, you can do that. Continuing on doing the outlining for the lower section. You'll have to add the color a little bit careful near the outline section of the Christmas tree. Carefully filling the color in here. Going over the outlined section of the Christmas tree and then filling the remaining section with this white ink. And with these, we are done with this side. Let's do the coloring for the other hand. In here, I used a bit concentrated whiting to do the coloring. So you can see that our ghost looks so bright and so white. Spreading the color a little bit. Adding the white for the upper section of this cap. Let's use this white to do the outlining for this section, the lower half the lower section for this cap. Using this kind of broken lines to do the outlining. In here, lbgrating star, simple star. On top of this, I'll also be adding a little bit of yellow and a bit of red too. Instead of this, if you want, you can just use simple color simple white star. And I was not able to record it, but I added the color for the ghost ling with this white, and I paid for it to dry. I use blue dry it to quicken the process. And now, and now in here, I'm going with a darker side of the green, creating small strokes with this darker side of the green. And as you can see, I'm not just adding it randomly. I am creating rows and columns of this kind of small strokes. For each different section, I'll be creating this kind of small strokes. I'll be leaving a little bit of a space in between different rows that we are creating in here. I'll be creating two or three rows for each different section. You can vary the sizes a little bit, or instead of creating three or two rows, you can just create single rows, as I'll also be using other shades of the green later on. Adding the color for this layer, small strokes. Let's add one more in here. And now for the bottom section. You see that the color that you are using has dried up the color you used the color you used for the gift parcels. And now let's do another layering of the color. And here, I'm using dark green. So mostly, I'll be adding this for the lower section of the strokes that we just created with another side of the green. Small strokes with this too. As you can see, I'm just adding it primarily on the lower section as well as for the middle section of the other rows that we created. Create comparatively smaller strokes and the two colors will blend on its own because the second layer of the colour that we did has not dried up yet, so it will mix on its own. Let's do the same thing for this section, small strokes in here. You can clearly see just by using three different shades of the green. We have created some a little bit of gradient. The primary layer, the lighter side of the green that we used earlier is still visible a little bit because we are creating small strokes and a little bit of it is visible since there is a little bit of space in between the different strokes we are adding. Adding it carefully near the gift boxes. Adding it for the upper section. If you want, you can go in with more darker side of the green or a bit lighter side of the green. I won't be doing that since it's look pretty good. I'll be waiting for it to dry a little bit and then add ornaments and a little bit of more detailing the gift boxes has dried up. So in here, I'll be creating the ribbons and the wrapping around the gift boxes. For this one in here, I'm using Camo to do the outlining for the ribbons and the gift wrappings. Later on, when it writes, I'll be going with the white to do the outlining. These are optional. If you don't want to create the ribbons and the wrapping, you can just leave it as it is. For this one in here, I'm using orange color. Let's make this a little bit more darker, Ol this orange a little bit on top of the Cambohu. For the two gift boxes in sky blue in here, I'm using Putin blue. You'll have to courses in here, insert that the color that you used for the greens has dried up and then apply it. Otherwise, the two colors might mix. Now for the remaining three gift boxes and right in here, I decided to use the whiting. Instead of this whiting, if you want, you can use other colours too. You'll have to just use a bit concentrated consistency of the colour to overlay it on top of this darker side of the rail. When this dries up, we'll be adding a little bit of more detailings and creating patterns and designs. For now, let's continue with this fight to create the ribbons and the wrapping around the gift parcels and the gift boxes we have in here. Adding this fight for the last one. This project is divided into two different parts in part one, and in the next part, we'll be completing it. For now, let's go in with this darker red to do the coloring for this cap, using a bit thicker consistency of the red to color this cap. Carefully filling the inside with this. Instead of this red, if you want, you can use other colors too. You can use yellow, pinks, blues, any color you prefer. Now let's feel the remaining section with this. Insert that the consistency of the color remains the same. If you want to create a little bit of gradient for this cap, you can do that. You can add a bit of maroon on one side. Using this colour to create some kind of pattern for some of the gift parcels and gift boxes we have in here. For this one, I decided to create this small random dots, small random circular dots. Instead of this circular seep, you can create a square, rectangular or any other kind of seeps. For this one in here, I decided to use the white and create the same kind of design, simple circular dots. If this is a little bit challenging for you to use the watercolor brush to create small dots, you can use the white gel pen if you have that will make the process a bit more faster, you will have more accuracy and more precision. For this blue gift box, I decided to create triangular se designs. For some of the gift boxes in here, I'll be using whites and blacks to do the outlining later on. These are optional. If you don't want to do the outlining, you can leave it as it is, but some of the gift boxes are not looking that much distinct from each other. So I'll be doing the outlining later on. For this one, too, I decided to create the same kind of pattern. In here, I decided to make the circular shape a bit larger. We'll be covering up to this in this first part of this project, and I'll be seeing you in the next part. 7. Ornaments coloring: Welcome to the second part of the first project. Let's continue where we left off. The white we use for the star has dried up, and right now in here, I'm using amu to overlay on top of it. And I'm not covering the entire section. The white from the earlier is still visible and is acting as the outline. Now, we'll be creating the ornaments. Use the high consistency of the color, and in here, I'm using this CamuJu and creating these small dots. I'll also be wearing the sides of the dots a little bit. I'll be adding this in this manner parallel to each other. Instead of adding in this way, if you want, you can add it any other way, whichever you prefer. Add one more of the yellow lights. I'll also be using ds a little bit of white, adding few more dots for the bottom. Now let's go in with other color in here. I'm using orange. So creating tear drop like saves. Here's the second kind of ornament that I'll be adding. Feel free to use other color combination and other kind of ornaments as you desire. You can also create the socks hanging around the Christmas tree. I'll be adding four or five of this to a drop like ornament for all the different sections. Later on, when this dries up, I'll be going with the white to add highlights, small strokes with the white ink on one side to create a little bit of highlight and reflection. You can create as many ornaments with this color as you prefer. Just don't oversaturate it. We'll be adding more ornaments later on. Ensure that the intensity of the color remains the same. And with these, we are done with this one. Let's go in with the other color. So in here, I'm using white. And with this white, I'll be creating this kind of s. So somewhat a star like. I'll be creating 15 to 20 of this kind of sap. Instead of this, if you want, you can create simple or normal star like sap. Okay. Instead of using this white colour, you can also use light yellow to create this kind of pattern and designs. Feel free to experiment with different color combinations. For some of the sections, I'll only be using two lines and for the others. And for the others, I'll be using four lines to create this kind of to create this kind of pattern. You can also use the white ink paint to create it. I think we are done with this. If you want, you can add a little bit more. And as I was mentioning, using a little bit of white to create a little bit of outline for different section of this Christmas tree, a little bit of outlining and creating this kind of rough texture to do the outlining, a bit of broken lines too. Creating this kind of small strokes and doing a little bit of hatching to create the outline for the different sections. Instead of this, if you want, you can also use the black bras mean or the fine liner to create the outlinings. You can also use that to create the wires for the ornaments. I see that the color has dried up, and in here, I'm creating small highlights and reflection for all the ornaments that we added. The tear drop seep like ornaments and this circular ornaments with the emoji Create pretty small strokes with the brush to create small highlights and small reflection. I'll be adding the highlights and reflection for each ornaments that we have added in here. After doing this, we'll also be adding a little bit of more highlights and adding designs and pattern for some of the gifts at the bottom section. A little bit more highlights for the star at the top. And with this, we are done with the highlights. Adding a few more strokes in here to add a little bit more texture to this Christmas tree, giving it a bit more rough texture. And with these, we are done with the whiting. Let's do a little bit more detailing for some of the gift that we have in here. Using white to create more small dots, circular saves for the pattern and the design for this one. Put this one, doing the outlining for the wrappings that we have in here. So the mans, doing the outlining for that as well as doing the outlining for the entire gift. You can also use the black breastpin or the black fine to do the outlining, or you can use a bit darker color to do the outlining. In this case, for the yellow, you can use the Camuji or orchard to do the outlining. Doing the same thing for this one, too, going over the outline for the ribbons that we have in here, as well as outlining the entire section of this gift. So for some of them, I'll be doing it, not for all of them. For this two, I decided to do it going over the outline. You'll have to be a bit cautious and create very small strokes with the breast. Instead of this, as I mentioned, you can always use the gelpin. It will make the process bit much more faster and you will get more precision and accuracy with that. In here, I'm using Rosen value to add pattern and design for this one. So creating this kind of circular C for this one. I also decided to read very small dots for this one, too. So on top of the white circular dots that we created earlier, creating tiny dots with this rosin glue. This designs and patterns and outlining are optional. Feel free to create different kind of designs pattern outlining, or you can leave it as it is. Mm. In here for this one, I decided to use the blue to do the outlining, outlining some of the section of this script with this blue. Adding few more dots and pattern, adding a few more circular dots for this one. And with these, we are done with the Prussian blue. Once again, going back with the orange simple pattern using the circular seeps If you want, you can also create small dots and small circular seeps with this. I decided to add few more small ornaments with this skull. These are comparatively smaller to the Kamu Cu color that we use for the circular ornaments. Just randomly adding it for some of the sections. You can also use light blue as well as light purple to add more ornaments for our Christmas tree. I also decided to do the outlining for this gift parcel with this color, tiny strokes to do the outlining. Okay. For this gift parcela I also decided to create a little bit more detailing. So adding tiny small dots for the center of the triangular saves that we created with the whiting. Creating a single straight line for the intersecting points, so small straight line for both the horizontal and vertical lines. Adding a little bit of red for the large star that we have on top of this Christmas tree, doing the same thing for this one, too, going over the intersecting lines with a single straight line. And with these, we are done with this color. Now, for this one, I did not add any design or pattern, so going in with the white to add. So going in with the white to add the same kind of simple pattern or design, you can say, circular simple circular dots. For this one, I decided to encircle the blue dots that we created to add a little bit more to add a little bit of more detailing for this one. So just encircling some of the section of the circular dots that we created with a Trochan lo oh, Now add more white wherever you think it's required. You can do the outlining. You can create a little bit of highlight, as well as you can use this to go over the ribbons and add more circular seeps or triangular seeps for some of the gift that we have in here. Now, let's create the facial feature for our ghost. So in here, I'm using pencil to sketch out the tough guideline for placement for the placement of the eyes and the mouth. Now in here, I'm using the breastbin to create small eyes, small black eyes. And for the mouth, too, I'll be using this breastbin. Instead of this, if you want, you can use red to create the mouth. And in here, I'm using this jail pin to create rosy checks for our ghost. So adding this d just below the eyes for our ghost. And now let's do the coloring for the cap. So in here, I'm using gray. Now let's make the outlines a little bit more clear for the ghosts and This is Jobson if you want to keep it simple, you don't have to use this brass paint to do the outlining, adding a little bit of texture for this cap. And with these, we are done with our first project. I hope you had fun painting this. I enjoyed a lot painting this one, and I'll see you in the next project. 8. Peek-a-boo : under the christmas tree: Welcome to the second project Peekaboo Under the Christmas Tree. Let's start with the triangular see for our Christmas tree. For this project, I'm creating the Christmas tree in the middle. For the last project, we created it on the right side. Our main focus for this project will be the Christmas tree and small cost that will be surrounding it and hiding inside and beside it. In total, I'll be creating four ghosts if you want to increase or decrease the number of the ghosts, feet to do that. So this is Java C for our Christmas tree, and let's do the outlining for the Now let's do the outlining for the gifts. Nia created seven gifts. It's not that much clearly visible in here, but you can see how it turned out. So a total of seven. And for this project, I only use this simple rectangular seeps. If you want, you can also create the other kind of gift boxes like cylindrical seeps, heart seeps. You can vary the size of the gift box. Instead of keeping them a little bit of seam sizes, you can make some of the gift boxes a bit larger and others quite smaller. Also, if you want, you can leave a little bit of a space in between the different gift boxes. And with this, we are done with the pencil sketching for our gift boxes. Now, let's create the outlines for the silhouette of the Ghost. So a total of four ghosts, and they are quite small. Here, too, if you want to change the sp sides placement of this ghost, we feed and do that. On top of this Christmas tree, I'll be creating a bit small in the star. For this one and decided to use the jelly pen to do the outlining as well as do the coloring. You can use whatever you can use the gauze, watercolor, acrylic color, whitening, whatever you leave free, whatever you prefer. I find it a little bit difficult to use this gel pen. But for this project, I decided why not let's use this? Now let's do the coloring. For this one, in here, I'm starting with this lemon yellow. For the entire section, I'll be filling it with this lemon yellow. This lemon yellow will act as the primary coloring for this Christmas tree. And here, I'll also be trying to create a little bit of texture. For now, let's do the outlining for the gift. We'll be completely filling the entire section and use a small brass stroke to create a little bit of texture. On top of this, I'll be adding two or three different layers of the greens. And here, I outline this triangular seep, and now I'll be filling the Now I'll be filling the entire with this lemon green. For this layer, the primary layer in here, as you can eagerly see, I'm not using a thick consistency of the coloring, since we'll be covering most of it. But if you want, you can use a bit thicker consistency of the color. Let's outline this ghost. And now let's spade the color. For this one, I started with the slighter sad. For the last one, we'll be choosing a bit darker side of the green to do the coloring instead of creating tree in this manner. If you want, you can create other kind of trees as I showed you in the demonstration video. Put that you can directly start with the different sads of the green to do the coloring for the Christmas tree. As I was mentioning, spreading the color a little bit with the brass stroke to create this kind of texture for the entire region of this triangular Christmas tree that we have in here. Some of the texture will be visible underneath the other two layers of the greens that I'll be adding it later on, since I'll be leaving a little bit of space in between the different strokes. We will wait for it to dry until it dries. Let's do the coloring for the gift. Feel free to use color of your choice. In here, I'm started with a view. The upper part of the gift box will be a bit larger and the lower part a bit smaller. What I mean to say the upper part, the lead of the gift box will be quite broader as compared to the remaining section. If you want, you can use the same color to do the coloring for the all gift. Feel free to increase, decrease the sieves in the sizes of the gift box. For now, I'll be continuing with some random light seats of the colors to do the coloring for the gift boxes. Earlier project in here too, I'll be using other sads of the color to create the ribbons and the gift wrappings around it, as well as I'll be creating the patterns, texture, and designs. I'll also be using a little bit of white and black to do the outlining for some of the gifts. In here, I'm using yellow to create another gift. For the gift boxes in here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the coloring so that I won't have to add another layer on top of it. Using yellow for this one, too. Very simple square like see for this gift box. To make this a little bit more interesting, apart from this small ghost, if you want, you can add a bit large ghost too, one or two large ghosts that will be surrounding this large tree. That will be surrounding this Christmas tree. That will be interesting. Now we have got only two gifts. Right now in here, I'm using orange to do the coloring for this one. Let's do the outlining and then we'll be filling the insides with the orange. Using a bit thicker consistency of the orange to do the coloring for the inside. And with these, we are done with the sixth gift. For the seventh one, I decided to use another color. So in here, I'm going with the red. This is a little bit smaller gift, starting with the upper part, the lead of the gift. Now let's do the remaining section. Small square like seed for the remaining portion of this gift. Carefully outlining near this yellow gift box. And for these, we are done with the primary layering for the gift boxes. This has dried up a little bit. Now. We'll be using different sides of the green. In here, I'm starting with this grass green, a bit darker side of the green and creating this kind of small strokes. You can vary the saps and sizes of the strokes. I'll be trying to keep it a little bit uniform. But as we move from up to down, I'll increasing the length of the strokes a little bit. I'm also creating a bit of rough texture with it. Following the contour of this conical sap of this Christmas tree. And for the middle section, as you can see, I'm making the strokes a little bit curvier, so the whole line or the whole row of the strokes that we are creating is a little bit curved in the middle. Adding the last row. Carefully adding it beneath this ghost. And let's extend it a little bit more. So with these we done with this side of the green. Now let's go in with another side of the green. This time in here, I'm using a bit lighter side of the green. I'll be overlaying some of the green on top of the grass screen that we used earlier. This will mix on its own and we'll create a little bit of gradient. They will not blend perfectly, but yeah, you can see a little bit of blending of the colors. I will create a beautiful gradient in between these two different sides of the green. And the size of the strokes in here for this green is a little bit smaller as compared to the one we did earlier. Now, adding it for the top. And finally, in here, I'm going with more darker side of the green. So in here, I'm using dark green and adding it just below the two layers of the green we added. Also overlaying a little bit of this green on top of the glass screen that we use as the secondary layer. Here, too, it will blend on its own and will create a beautiful gradient. A little bit of the green, the lemon green that we used earlier is visible, not that much of it, but a little bit of mill. And when this dries up, some of the regions where we use lighter set of the green will become a bit more lighter because of the presence of the lemon yellow that we use as the primary coloring for the flat as A little bit of this was covered by the queen, so adding a little bit more yellow to make it a little bit more distinct. I also decided to make it a little bit more shiny, so adding another layer of yellow on top of it. And as I mentioned, since I am using this smooth surface, when this gauze will dry, it will create a smooth and glossy surface for this gauze. We will wait for it to dry until it dries. Let's do the coloring for the gaze. Feel free to use concentrated watercolor, acrylic color, white ink or concentrated white gauze to do the coloring. And here I am using this white gel pen to do the coloring and creating small strokes to fill the entire region with this white ink, white ink from the gelpin If you are using rough texture paper, then you will be able to create this project a bit more. Then you will be able to make this project a bit faster since the spreading of the color will become a little bit more easier. And as for the layering, it will also become a bit more faster and bit quicker. Let me know which kind of paper you are using in the discussion section. We are done with the first cost, moving on to the second one, doing the same thing, creating small strokes with this white chil paint to fill the entire section. And with these, we are done with the second one. And as I was mentioning, you can add more ghost, you can also add a bit larger versions of the ghost like we did for our first project. And with these, we add with the third ghost. Let's do the coloring for the final one. And for the ornaments and the light for this Christmas tree, I'll be creating circular saves, star saves and teardrop like ornaments. I'll also be using a little bit of black to do the outlining for some of the sections of the Christmas tree to create a bit more distinct outline. Apart from that, I'll also be doing a little bit of outlining for some of the ghost. Adding this kind of broken line just below the gift boxes to add a little bit more characteristic to this painting. This is optional. If you don't want, you can just keep it as it is. So with these, we are done with the coloring for the furgost, I waited for it to dry a little bit, and it has dried up somewhat. Now let's add the ornaments and the light. In here, I'm using yellow and creating small dots, small dots in this manner, creating arrow, creating this kind of column of lights. Okay. This is a little bit slanted towards the right, and I'll I'll be creating this kind of a small circular dots in this manner for the remaining section of this Christmas tree. If you want, you can vary the seeps and the siges as well as the placement of the yellow dots. You can make them a little bit more closer or a bit more farther apart. Later on, I'll be going with the white to add a little bit of highlights and reflections. For now, let's continue with this. Apart from this yellow, I'll also be using red, orange, blue, and a little bit of white to add various lights and ornaments for this Christmas tree. I'll be adding two or three more rows and then we'll be going in with other colors. Like the earlier project, this project is also divided into two parts. This is the first part, and we have got second part. In this part, I'll only be doing up to the lights and the ornaments, and in second parts, we'll be adding more details and finalizing our project. And with these, we are almost done with the yellow. If you want, you can add few more lights here and there randomly. You can also increase or decrease the sign. You just add it randomly, increasing or decrease the C if you prefer. I won't be doing that. I only so you this as an example. Now, with the star we created at top, in here I'm using orange to make it a little bit more darker on one side, using the same orange. So in here I'm creating small tied drop like saves for the ornaments. Instead of creating this kind of sp, if you want, you can treat other kind of seeps as you prefer. You can convert this into star like see or any other see you prefer, or you can just continue with me and create more tree and rough like seeps. Later on, as I was mentioning, I'll also be using a little bit of black to do the outlining for some of the ornaments and light and a little bit of white to create a bit of highlight and reflection for some of the ornaments and the lights. Use a bit thicker consistency of the colour to overlay it on top of these layers of the greens. I added a little bit less number of this ornament as compared to the yellow lights that we used earlier. If you want, you can increase the numbers of this ornament. But we have got few other colors and few other kinds of ornaments and lights that we'll be adding. So just don't oversaturate it. And with these, we are done with this kind of ornaments. Let's create another kind of ornament. So in here, I'm creating small star like saves. Instead of creating this kind of save, you can create other kind of star like four cornered star or six cornered star. That will be interesting too. Or you can create big large circles with it or other kind of ornament as you prefer. For this one, too, I'll be using the black to do the outlining later on to clearly define the outline for the star seeps. And I think this we are done with the starl ornaments or starl lights. Let's go in with another color. So in here, I'm using the blue, the seam blue that we use for the gift boxes, creating small circular seams just like the yellow lights that we created. Right now, it's not that much clearly visible, but when twice up it will become a bit more clearly visible. So for this part of the video, I'll only be doing up to this. And I'll and I'll be seeing in the next part of the second project, and we'll be completing it. 9. Outlining the ornaments: Welcome to the second part of peekaboo under the Christmas tree. We'll be continuing where we left up. We have added the ornaments and the lights, and right now, we'll be adding the details and pattern as well as the gift wrapping for this gift we have. For this one in here, I'm using dark red or you can say maroon color to create this kind of avons that is wrapped around the gift boxes. Feel free to use other color combinations to do the outlining, as well as create this kind of ribbons and the gift wrapping. The ribbons and the gift wrappings are optional if you want to keep them bit simpler. You don't have to do this. Pull this one too and decided to use this later on for some of them, I'll also be using a little bit of black to do the outlining, as well as a bit of white. Doing the outlining of this one with this red. As for the patterns and the design for the gift boxes, you can create any kind of the pattern, circular sap, triangular seep, square sieves or a combination of all of them using the same red for this yellow one. Doing the outlining. And yeah, with these, we are done with this. Moving on to the blue boxes. So for this one, in here, I'm using a bit concentrated yellow to create the ribbons and the wrappings. You'll have to do two or three layers of the coloring since the intensity of the blue is quite darker. So for all these three blue blue gift boxes that we have in here, I'll be using the yellow. Feel to use other color. Right now, it's not that visible, but when it dries up, it will become a bit more visible. I'll also be doing another layering of the color if required. We will wait for it dries until it dries. As I was mentioning, I'll be using the black to do the outlining of some of the section. I'll be doing the outlining for some of the lights, the stars, as well as create this kind of rough texture, as well as create this kind of texture for the Christmas tree. This is going to take a little bit of time since we'll have to apply a bit of preset to overlay this on top of this many layers of the color. Instead of this, if you have breast pin, that will make the process bit more faster. Use different kind of pints, all pin, ball paint, gil pins, ballpoint paint fine under pints and see which fits and which is more comfortable to do the overlaying in here. This is often if you don't want to create it, you can just give it as a touchpad. But by just doing this simple outlining, you can make your Christmas tree look a bit more vibrant and a bit more detailed. So for now, I'll be doing the outlining for all the element, all the major elements, the tear drop like sieves, the star sieves, the circular sieves. And also this kind of a small and also this kind of lines for the Christmas tree. This will take a little bit of time, so we present and do the outlining. Okay. Okay. You can clearly see the difference in here, just by doing the outlining the sieves become a bit more the sieves become a bit more fleshed out and the distinction becomes a bit more clear. It's a little bit difficult to do the outlining here with this bras pin. As you can see, I am doing two or three layers of the outlining to ensure that the outlines is visible. I'll also be creating small circular C for the eyes of the ghost later on for now, let's continue doing the outlining. If you're comfortable, you can use the watercolor bras to do the outlining with the black color. It will be a bit much more faster, but you'll have to bit cautious and careful to do the outlining. Since this was taking a lot of time, I did the outline on my own, and this is how it turned out. I also used a little bit of other breast pain that I had to do the outlining. I use this Ji Kuraaki breastpin that I have to do the outlining. With this, I can create a bit more varieties of line. Also using this breast pain to do the outlining for some of the gift wrappings, creating omen for this one. Adding a little bit of more details for some of the section, outlining some of the lights we have in here, the blue lights. Adding these kind of lines to add a little bit of more texture for our Christmas tree. I was not able to record the highlights that I added with the white later on, but this is how this project turned out. You can add the highlights and the reflection on the different ornaments and the lights we have in here with the white on your own. And yeah, I'll see you in the next project, the third and the final one. 10. Midnight ghost gathering: Welcome to the third and the final project of this class, Midnight Ghost Gathering. Let's start with the basic pencilske. I'm starting with a straight line to determine the length of the Christmas tree. For this project, I'm creating the Christmas tree a little bit towards the left. If you want, you can center this Christmas tree. For this project, we'll be creating a total of six ghost. Let's do the outlining for the ghost. If you want you can increase or decrease the number of the ghosts, you can change their placement as well as positions. You can make them a bit more bigger, bit more smaller. And as for the gift in here, we'll be creating a bit more varieties of the gift. Apart from the rectangular and the square seeps of the gift, I'll also be creating the cylindrical sap of the gift, like this one. Right now, I have created a total of six gift. Later on, I'll be adding few more, one or two more. If you want to increase or decrease the number of the gift, if you want to make them a bit more bigger or smaller, feel free to do that, you can also change your positions. For all the ghosts in this project, I'll also be creating the small hands. If you want, you can just keep it simple and don't need to add the hands. This will be our base line. Let's extend the tree a little bit. I decided to make it a bit more larger. There will be single star at the top. Apart from this large star, I'll also be creating small stars, a dozen of small stars on both sides. So this is the biggest ghost that we'll be creating in here, and this ghost is wrapped around the Christmas tree. If you want to keep things simple, you don't have to create the ghost. In this manner, you can just create a simple ghost making this ghost a little bit more larger. Adding one more ghost in here. Adding one more gift in here, too. So a total of seven gibt for this side, as I was mentioning, adding one more gift. So a total of eight gift we have created in here. I'll also be adding one more ghost on the left side. If you want, you can also add few ghosts floating around the Christmas tree like this. I was going to add your ghost like this, but I thought that it would take a lot of time. So instead of this, so to keep things simple, I did not add the ghost, but if you want, you can proceed with that. We are done with the outlining. I'll be adding one more ghost later on for now. Let's do the coloring. In here, I'm using olive green. So this will act as our primary color. So this will act as the primary layering. I'll be filling the entire section of this Christmas tree with the screen. You love to courses while doing the coloring near the Ghost. As you can see, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the green to do the coloring. I'm also whirling this green on top of the white pencil sketch that we created to cover it. Instead of creating the tree in this manner, you can create the trees in other manner as I showed you in the demonstration video. You can use other color combinations of the green to create the trees. You don't have to use the same color combination or the same way that I am creating and coloring the trees and the goes. Feel free to experiment on your own. We have outlined the lower portion. Now let's fill the remaining section with this olive green. And with this, we add with the olive green as a primary layering for our Christmas tree, add more green wherever you think it's required or wherever the intensity of the green is a bit low. We will wait for it to dry and then add another layering of the color on top of it. In here, I'm using white ink to add the coloring for the stars as well as the ghost. A thick layer of white for the star. And now let's do the coloring for our ghost. Is that the two colors did not mix with each other. Adding the color for the ghost hand. Carefully outlining this section of the Christmas tree. And now for the remaining portion of the ghost body that is wrapped around this Christmas tree, carefully doing the coloring, I would advise you to wait for the green to dry and then do the coloring for the ghost. M For now, let's continue with adding the color for this ghost, the wrapped around portion of its body. Adding a little bit of more color in here, the intensity of the white was a bit low. Also extending the size of this ghost a little bit to insu it at the proportion of its body and its head remains somewhat to insu it at the proportion of its body and head remained somewhat normal. Otherwise, the head was ging comparatively small as compared to the thickness of its body. Doing the coloring for the remaining ghosts. To create a clear distinction between the hands of the ghost and the remaining portion of its body, I'll be going in with the black breastpin, fine liner or gelpin to do the outlining later on when this whiting dries for now, let's continue with adding the white for all the ghosts. If you want to make things a little bit more interesting, you can also add the Christmas caps for the ghost or different kind of cap or different accessories. You can also add accessories like earrings, eyeglasses or moustache and other different kind of accessories, as you see fit. You can also make the ghost entangled in Christmas lights and Christmas decorations. With these, we are done with the two ghosts, doing their coloring for this third one. I decided to make this ghost a little bit larger. You don't have to stick with the outlines that you have created and feel free to make changes and adjustments as you see fit. Adding the color for the remaining section of this ghost body, spreading the color a little bit. Some of the region of this ghost are a little bit less white, so spreading the colour for those regions. With these, we are done with three ghosts. Let's do the coloring for the other three. Let's do the coloring for the remaining. Outlining the side of the Christmas tree. And now let's fill the remaining section with the white. For this ghost, I'll only be creating the ice. If you want, you can also create the ghost mouth, as well as use a little bit of red to add a little bit of red chicks for our ghost. I decided to create one more ghost as I was mansoning. Simple organic seek for the ghost. And here I am using the colour to do the outlining. You can use pencil sketch to do the outlining and then fill the remaining section with the white ink. Instead of using this white ink, if I had gone with the white gel pen, it would have taken bit more time. For most of the project, I choose to use the white ink, and for some of the section, I used a little bit of white gauze. And when these are done with the coloring for our fifth ghost, let's create the outline for its hand. I forgot to add the coloring for one of the ghosts in the middle. I'll be doing the coloring later on. Adding a little bit more white for the star at the top to make it sep a little bit more pointed. Apart from this larger star, I'll also be adding more start on both the sides, a dozen of small stars on both the sides. Let's do the coloring for the Christmas tree. Is that the color that we used earlier has dried up. And now in here, I'm using a bit lighter tone of the green and creating this kind of small strokes. I'm leaving a little bit of a space in between some of the strokes so that a little bit of the olive green that we used earlier could be visible. We'll be creating the same kind of trees that we have practiced and created. Feel free to use other green colour combinations to create your own Christmas tree. For some of the regions, I'll be completely overlaying this slight green on top of the olive green that we used earlier, and for other regions, we'll be leaving a little bit of the olive green to be visible in between different breast strokes. Carefully adding this slight green just above the ghost body. With these, we are done with the upper part. Let's continue with the remaining section of this Christmas tree. It will be creating the same kind of lights and Christmas ornaments. We'll be using yellows, red, blues. For the lower regions in here, I'm leaving a little bit of more space in between the different brusstrokes so that more of the olive green could be visible. If you want, you can cover some of those section like in here, I'm doing it. Or you can just continue with it, making some of the olive green from the earlier visible. Making sure that some of the olive green from the earliest would be visible, carefully filling their color in between the two ghosts we have in here. Adding another of the small brusss strokes for the remaining section of this Christmas tree. And with these, we are done with a lighter side of the green. This is our second coloring for this Christmas tree. In here, I'm going to the bit darker tone, grass green. So overlaying this grass screen, a little bit on top of the lighter side of the green we used earlier, the same kind of stroke, a bit smaller strokes. Olas a little bit of this on top of the lighter green as well as leaving a little bit of space in between different strokes so that the olive green from the earlier could be visible. Filling this grass green in between the different layers that we have created with the light green. The colors will blend a little bit on its own, adding it carefully in here beside the ghost body. Carefully filling it in between that two different ghosts we have in here, adding it for this last section. On top of the lighter side of the green, creating a bit more creating bit more smaller strokes and overlaying it on top of it. Skip a little bit of distance in between the different rows of strokes that we are creating with this grass green. Doing the same thing for some of the other layers. I won't be covering the entire section with the smaller strokes, but only covering some of the section of the slight greens that we used. Adding a few more strokes wherever it's required. And with these are done with this grass green. I will wait for it to dry and then add more coloring and more detailing till it dries, let's add the coloring for this course. The one we forgot the one I forgot to add the coloring for. Once again, I'm using whiting to do the coloring. Min causes us not to mix this color with the greens that we use just now. Using this white to create the outline outline for the gift packages, and now let's fill the remaining section with this white. With these, we are done with the coloring for all the six ghosts. Using this white to do the outlining for this large gift we have in here in the middle section. Let's make the hands of the Ghost a little bit more distinct using more white. Using more white to make the clear distinction between the ghost's body and the ghost's hand. We will wait for it to dry a little bit, and then add the eyes till it dries. Let's create the small stars. Simple star, just like the star that I created on top of the Christmas tree. Instead of this, if you want, you can use the ink pen. It will make the process a bit more faster. You don't have to use this white to do the coloring for the stars that we are creating in here. You can use the yellows, or you can use a combination of both the yellows, yellows and the white, you can use the yellow to create the stars and then use a bit of white to add highlights and reflection. Or you can do the opposite, using the white to create the stars and then use a little bit of yellow to add highlights and a bit of reflection. I'll be creating multiple stars on both sides. And this is going to take a little bit of time. So be patient and create the stars. And if you don't want, you can just keep the project simple and keep the background blank or you can use or you can also create a splattering effect. So just tapping with your brush to create a splatter across the background. That will be interesting too. Making the hands of this course a little bit more distinct. Continuing on with creating more stars for both the sides. Mm. Apart from the stars and the spluttering fan, if you want, you can also create different kind of bulbs and lights and ornaments in the background. In here, since this was going to take a lot of time, I have increased the speed. If you want to follow along with me, you can pause the video or you can just decrease the speed. And I think for these we are done with the stars. If you want, you can add few more. You can also vary the seeps in the sizes of the stars a little bit. Here I'm using a little bit of white to create this kind of circular seep for the decorations and ornament for the Christmas tree. Apart from this, I'll also be using light yellow, a bit of yellow, red, and a few other color if required. Otherwise, mostly, I'll be using the three or four different colors, the white, red, yellow, and light yellow. If you want, you can add few more dots, but I think we are I think I'm satisfied with it. Now in here, I'm going with pale yellow. I mixed a little bit of white with the yellow to create this pale color. With this, I'll be creating a bit larger dots, adding a little bit of this pale yellow in here. Let's continue with creating smaller. Let's continue creating a bit larger dots with the pale yellow. Use a bit concentrated consistency of the colour to overlay this on top of the greens we have. As compared to the white dots we created earlier, I'll be adding fewer dots with this pale yellow color. On top of this, I'll also be adding a little bit of yellow when this dries up, Coloring some of the gifts that we have in here with this pale yellow. Starting with the lid now, let's do the coloring for the remaining section. As you can see, I have used a bit thicker consistency of the color so that I don't have to redo the colouring, no second layer required. Using the same color for this one, too, starting with the upper part. Now let's do the remaining section. Feel free to use other color as you prefer. You can use the light sets or the dark sides of the colour to do the coloring for the gifts. This is Camo hue, a bit darker tone of the yellow and creating one more gift box in here. Cam you for this one, too. Starting with the upper part. Now let's do the coloring for the remaining section. Like the earlier two projects that we have done, video this project is also divided into two parts. This is the first part. And for the remaining section of this video, I'll be doing the coloring for the gift parcels. And then in the next video, we'll be adding the final detailing for our Christmas trees, the Ghost, and it little bit of highlight patterns and designs for the gift boxes, and we'll be completing our project. In here, I'm using orange to do the coloring for the gift box. I decided to use this orange for one more gift box in here. Only a small portion of this is visible in here. And for the last gift box in here, I'm using the blue. If you want, you can increase the number of the gift boxes, you'll you'll just have to use a bit thicker consistency of the color that can be overlaid easily on top of the white. Carefully adding this blue in between the orange and the yellow, we don't want the two colors to mix. Otherwise, on one side, it will create a greenish color, and on the other side, it will create brownish color. And with this, we are done with the primary layering of the color for the gift boxes, we will wait for it to dry a little bit and then add the gift ribbons, patterns and design. Until it dries, I'm using this blue to create another kind of ornaments or light for our Christmas ring. Random circular dots. This is somewhat similar to the sides as we use for the pale yellow. Instead of this, you can use any other color. You can also increase or decrease in intensity. You can use bit lighter tone of the blue or bit darker tone as you see fit. Continuing on with the blue to create this kind of circular dots for the remaining section of this Christmas tree. This is what we'll be covering in this video. I'll see you in the next part of this project. We we'll be adding more details and completing the project. See you there. 11. Coloring the gifts: H. Let's continue where we left off. We were adding the coloring for our ornaments and lights. In here, I'm using red to add another kind of ornament, the simple tear drop shaped like ornament, adding it randomly in between the white, blue, and the pale yellow dots and the lights that we have created. Instead of this, if you want, you can use other seats of the color to do the coloring, you can use orange, you can use pink, you can use purple or any other color or any other color you prefer. You can also vary the seeds and the sizes as you see fit. With this, we are done with the upper part of the Christmas tree containing on the remaining section. And with these we are done with this tear drop lights ornament. Let's use this colour to create the ribbons and the wrapping around the gift parcels. Using the color for this large gift we have in here. Instead of filling the entire section with this orange, I am just creating two simple parallel lines. I'll also be creating simple patterns and design using this orange for some of the gift parcels. Feel free to use other color combination, other kind of designs and patterns. Designs and pattern I was talking about, simple hatching line. A bit broader as compared to the ribbons we created. This is the simple kind of pattern for the upper part. Let's do the outlining a little bit. With this, we are done with this one of the gift. For this 12, let's create the same kind of design. For this 12, creating the same kind of design, I'm just reversing the order. For the upper part, and I created slanted line, and for this remaining section, plain straight lines. Let's do the outlining and make a clear distinction between the ghost and this gift we have in here. And as I was mentioning this has dried up the pale yellow we used earlier. I'm using this Camboz and creating small dot on top of the pale yellow to sew a little bit more to add a little bit more characteristic to this yellow light that we created. Instead of this, you can also use white or other colour to add small dots. You can use the black paint to do the outlining and add small pattern or design inside the larger ornaments and the larger lights that will be interesting too. And with these, we are done with the camo for the Christmas tree now using this camo for this gift parcel. Creating simple ribbon sand. It's not visible in here, so I decided to overlay another layer on top of it. Still, it's not that visible, but when this dries up, I'll be going with the black to do the outlining. In here, I'm using a little bit of white to add small reflection, a bit of highlight for some of the blue ornaments that we added. This is optional. If you want to keep things simple, you don't have to add this white since we already have used a lot of white, this is a simple star like sep I was mentioning about. Simple star like sep, I'll mostly be adding for the lower section. If you want you can add it for the upper section too. These are not that defined. Oh Now using this white for some of the parcels we have in here. Apart from creating ribbons and the gift wrapping, I'll also be creating patterns and design using this. Simple design for this. Now for this one, I decided to create simple design. Oh for the upper part, I decided to create this kind of slanted line. Using this white to do the outlining for this gift. And I also decided to use this white for this blue one. Simple pattern, straight lines, simple pattern, starting with the straight line for the top. Now for the remaining section, bit slanted line, just like you have to be dead with orange color. Instead of this, you can create other kind of pattern or design. For this two, if you want, you can add designs or pattern on top of it. I decided to do the outlining for this one with a white. Adding few lines, broken lines just below the gift parcels we have in here. This is optional. If you don't want, you can just keep it as it is. And with these we are done with the white. If you want to add a little bit of highlight or add more white wherever you think it's required, you can do that. In here, I'm using the breast pain to create the eyes. Simple eyes for our ghost. I won't be adding the mouth or rosy checks. If you want, you can do that using a little bit of red and add small dots with the red just below the eyes of the ghost. For all the remaining five ghosts we have in here, let's create their eyes. You can leave a little bit of white space in between the eyes to make it a little bit more interesting. We have got three more ghosts. I'm also doing the outlining for the ghost hand to create a clear distinction. Small elliptical see for the eyes, and let's do the outlining for the hand of this ghost. Making the outlines of the hands a little bit more clear and adding the eyes for the last ghost we have in here. Creating a clear distinction between the hand and the remaining portion of this large ghost. If you want, you can use this black paint to do the outlining for the other section of the ghost body. You can also use this to create a little bit of pattern and texture for the Christmas trees like this, like we did earlier on this simple, this kind of line. And with these, we ad with this final project, if you want to add more details, highlight, reflection or yeah anything else? 12.
