Transcripts

1. Intro: Let's create type reference. Type of Murphy out is an art of arranging type to make language was. And this is exactly what we're going to learn today. We're going to bring up all those emotions, ideas, and all those words and Golda mind in the form of letters. All of these are paper and create an artwork by adding a pinch of treated. The idea behind this class to help you focus on creating enough work with type in it. So here's what we're going to learn from this graph. Learning how to find inspiration, how to take your idea and create that new piece of artwork. We will also move to how to choose a color palette photo on what, and then test that Palette. Palette did speak. And finally, we will create a fully hand painted keys and make it into a physical product such as a more direct so forth. This class for, this class is for anyone who wants to learn how to keep type of roof yet. But this is also for those moms like me who loves to just kind of did something with their ideas onto paper and just famous explore imagination. This is also meant for those people who are looking out to create a portfolio served with lettering projects. When here there is an acetal, all of you and month old Jim, a self-taught artist and a freelance artist, pattern design now, all the way from India, living here in Germany. And I will be teaching you how to create equity. 2. Finding Inspiration: Let's learn how to find inspiration. Inspiration is something which is around you. The only thing you need to do is just to find it. In spacial can be in the form of books, posters, blogs, could be even in the form of literature chats. Probably something which you just had with your friend on the street. Probably with something that just strikes when you are playing with your kids are probably it could be something that comes to you when you're actually in the shower. So it can be anywhere. So let me just give you some examples from my experiences to get you started with your own ideas. Okay? So here is an example. Like it's a piece of artwork which I created. And this was one thing which I created when I was feeling most like like I was feeling so stuck at that point of time. And I felt that was a constant push to really explore my screen with you. So the word explored was really keeping on going inside my mind. And I wanted to just put that onto, onto the paper. So this word, as you can see, I just wanted to play with the word or create an artwork with by bringing this word explore. So explore. And I felt as though I was lost. So it felt as though I was lost in a jungle. And there was some, so many creatures around me. And I felt as though this, it felt as though I was looking through those leaves and bushes. Just don't know if it's that all the feeling, all that ideas, all of those thoughts that you have when you relate to that particular word. What are those thoughts that come to you? Put them on a piece of paper, write them down and start working on those ideas. This is another artwork which I did. Start with what you have. So this is like a piece of advice I would tell my students, you guys. Okay. So when somebody asked me, how can I start, where do I start? What should I do? How can I do this? How can a start with the very less chosen my hand or something like that? I would say just start with what you have. Just start wherever you are. The only thing is you just need to start. Then the themes really key point, right? So this is, this could be inspiration, could be also something that which you want to convey to somebody. This is just another example which I created when I was exploring with my own child, with my little one. So that's me and my little one. And I, this artwork says unlock your creativity. So this was something which I wanted to remind myself about all the time. When I locked inside my, you know, my small thoughts and just wanted to unlock my my ideas and thoughts and just come out of that and start. So this is like a reminder piece that I created for myself to just kind of unlock my creativity all the time. Even though I'm like completely busy. Stack with lot of, you know, a lot of things around me, doesn't matter being a mom. I have I can I can still unlock my so that's what I wanted to just put that onto a piece of paper, the idea. And I also wanted to share this idea with other mothers. So that's the reason I created this artwork. So I hope you can really see how you can find inspiration from your thoughts, from your, from your, from your probably something that you want to pollen way your messages to somebody else. So there's so many things that you can really put your ideas into. And I mean, where you can really take all those ideas and then put them into creating a piece of artwork. So that's about how to find inspiration for your type. Now, if you are fizzled with ideas, Let's just talk about today's inspiration. Money, honey. What's money honey? It's just a phrase that I found when I was reading a blog. See how easy it is to find your inspiration, right? It could be anything. Like I said, insulation could be anything. The only trouble you need to do is to just find that out and put that on a piece of paper. 3. Understanding basics Lines: Okay, so let's just get started with typography art, okay? So I'm just going to give you some tips on how you can really start creating your artworks, your typography art. And this is mostly based on my experiences and it's not something which I I'm an expert in or something like that. But this is mostly like a fun project that you'll be doing. And it's going to be helpful for you if you're actually starting out to create artworks like type with using letters in your artworks. Okay? So, so basically this is going to give you some ideas on how you can really get started with. And there are few things to keep in mind. And by the way, I'm going to be showing you in the end of this class. I'm going to be showing you find initial artworks using typography and the artworks which I created recently. And the difference would really be able to see the difference in both the artworks, like the one which I actually started off long back and the one which I've been doing right now. So you could really see the difference in that in the two artworks that I'll be showing you at the end of this class. So to get started, let me just give you one more small tip today that I want you to understand that this will take time. Okay? So it's a process. It's if you're really starting out. Don't be discouraged. If you feel that, you know, it's not coming out the way you want or it's not good enough when you actually compare with some other people. So if you really feel that way, I would suggest please take off that kind of feeling from your from yourself and just kind of focus on practicing more. I'm sure you will be able to see the difference in how you create your typography. And i'm, I'm, I'm definitely sure that you will be able to see that in my artwork, which I'll be showing you, showing to you in a while. So let's just get started with our artwork. So basically you will need a scale and a pencil and an eraser. Keep it ready for yourself. Okay? So always, what are the tips that I've learned is that always do your letters in like draw straight length. And then you can draw, you can get started with those the lines, with the working as guides for you. So try to always bring in four lines. Like I said, I'm not an expert. I just kind of learned it through my practice sessions and this is something I would really like to show you. So there's slight difference between all three all three lengths. The space between them doesn't matter. It's okay. It's totally fine. I just wanted to show you the basic understanding so that you can get started with your type, okay? So the first thing is basically you always kind of touch this line here. When that has like an extension from the mean, mean. Like a main letter, for example, like B or D. So let's see, that's D. Okay? So these lines, will, the above line that touches only when there's when there's extension coming in from the letter. So for example, a would just be sorry about that. It would be something that fits well inside these two lines. But D or B would be something that extends and we'll touch the first line. Okay? So you can really think about letters which fits in these only between these two lines. Okay? So there's always there, you and all of that. Okay. So, but there was that awesome letters which go, which extends downwards. So that could be like lead to G. Okay? There could be letter B. It could be lead to a queue, and so on. Okay, so these are some letters. So you can really understand that this letters, which X and a bow that V-tach, these lines and letters that extends below. We'll touch this line. Okay? Okay. So one thing which you need to understand is that along the bottom of this, of these letters, this line is the is the base line. Okay? Now along this, the top of these letters, these this is the x-height. These sticks which I like. These are extending portion that extends a bot is called the asunder. Okay? And these like these that extends downwards. Those are the dissenters. Now let's imagine this letter T. And let's just kind of go around it and create a box, which will make it look. Okay. Let's kind of extend this downwards. Okay? And let me just like this line that is horizontally that you create horizontally it's called the and what you create, what degree? That is called the stem. Okay? So that's it for this particular thing, this leg, the basic idea of understanding how you have to start with lines and what those names just, just names. What does it what does it called and things like that. Just understand this, the x-height and the baseline with a with lector actually starts in batches. And also probably some letters extant above, above the x-height. So that line that's Dick bought is calling Santander. And the stick bug that extends below is called the descender. So these few things like all these basics, these, this is something which you just need to understand. So when you actually get started, It could be a little bit difficult without knowing these things. 4. Understanding basics Boxes: Let's say I'm starting something like this. So the lines can really vary the way you wanted. So it's totally up to you. So probably when you have and let's say, and let's take output for example. So let's say a p, p, l will be like really extending above C. So this is your x-height, this is your baseline, this is your descender and this is your ascender. Okay. And so yeah, you just got it. So that's what I'm trying to say. This line could be, could really VD the way you want it. So It's not like it has some fixed guidelines or rules like it has to be this way. No, it can be in any way. It could even differ in shape. These lines are actually your guiding lines, okay? So these can really help you out with how you want the letters to be. So if it's like coding, you can even start curving your letters in this phase. So basically you will have to go select that API. Let's see. Okay, so that's how you Let us go, maybe. Okay, either be these lines will act as a guiding lines for you. And that will really help you to create your letters and form as in such a way that it can really fit into any kind of artwork that you create. What I generally do is I, I kind of create a box. So I create a box and then I kind of start with that, creating my letters. So if there's like three-letter, if it's a three-letter word, then what I do is I kind of made that into the small boxes, threes, I made three boxes. And then I always kind of draw those lines wherever I wanted. And then I kind of start that. So if this is my if this is the, sorry, this is the descender. This is the base line. This is my x-height, and then this is the acceptor center. Okay? So then the letter will fall within this particular box. So that's how I plead my my letters. Okay. So i and when I draw the box first, I make sure to leave a small space here between these lines and then I stuck them. Okay, so the like. And so that's how I write my letters. So basically I create these boxes, the lines, and it also give a small separation so that they're not touching each other. So small separation between them. So probably if you have your box here, then you can start your box in between. Like you can give the separation in between this line. So that's also something which you can do. So that's how I do. So there's also another way where I have seen some people create letters like this, for example. This is like you can alter that particular box in a different shape. And then you can create your letters accordingly. So that is also an option. I will also show you some kind of letters which I have done to give you a better understanding on whether it's curving merits in a straight line or read it when it's within a shape, something like that. So I'll just show you some examples which I have done. 5. Understanding basics Shapes part1: And let's just figure out how much space we need for each letters. Let's IV P, E, okay, it's pretty tight for me. So I will start from your L here. I can start a hela. You can just move this a little bit towards the site. Okay. Yeah. Looks much better. So let's see. Let's just create. So I think my use the spot as my descender. And like me showed this height. And this height here remains. Okay, So just to make sure that the whole artwork, or this lettering, ocean comes in the middle of the center of this whole circle. So let's see. So that's my a so you need to bring it might be slow. Make sure to leave a small gap so that each of the letters are not just kind of, you know, it's not hitting each other. Also tried to keep them really rounded. Like I showed you in the example. Tried to keep the lines of we tried to keep the lines street and also rounded. Okay. So something like that. And then probably you could draw an apple. Nothing what you can do is just make these lines. So one of the lines, you can make it tick. And the one that goes down. So these can be thick. You can add in these kind of details and the small triangle shapes that come in the end. Since this is just for you to understand. And it's not I'm not doing it so perfectly like we have to let put it on the efforts on our artwork. But this is specifically for you to understand. You can even play around with these corners. Keep this line probably tin and straight. So there's so much of possibilities that you can really explore mature type of graphene. And it's totally up to you how you want it. These lines can be made and these lines can state them. So really play around with your typographic. You to just kind of start exploring and get what you want to do. Literally bring your idea into that particular artwork. 6. Understanding basics Shapes part2: Let's try with another shape, like a triangle. So just kind of made this triangle and I'm dividing them into smaller sections. The sections with let us might go in. Okay, so let's see. Let's do letter E inside the chip. Okay. Let's try something like B. Is. B is we need and we need an x-height within the baseline. We have the baseline already ascender and descender, but I'm not doing the descender right now for, for example, for just, just vote now, because I'm taking this space and I'm trying to fit. That can go inside this line. Okay, So this is my, this is my excitons is my baseline. So I'm gonna just kind no Nadeau with that. And also making sure that it fits inside this, inside this triangle. Okay? So let's try another word which can fit inside this. With, let's say, let's say something. So this is a bigger space and I'm just going to section and equally. So each of the letter has almost equal spaces. And let's do the word cat. Okay, so now we lose something with, with undescended ETC. To modern give some space for the descender. Descender. 94 percent. Okay, Let's do cup. So I'm going to be doing this line. And then I'm going to be doing this PPE touching the bottom. And I can code the spine. It really touched this line, commutated again. Oops. So basically this will act as my books, this acts as a bogs, and this acts as the books. So basically you need to fit the letters inside the box, touching the lines and also making sure it fits inside the shape. 7. A look into my artworks: All right, So this is one kind of artwork which had done this lettering was like for Christmas inspired artworks and with the lettering tried out by me, I would say. So. This was more like an all. I had done this on a curved line. And this was mostly straight line itself, and it's all done in capital letters. So with capital letter, you can see it's on same line but same height and everything. It doesn't go like this. But this was you still can alter those like probably when you use a curved line. And probably you can play with the size of it, where the NNT stays in the middle. So it's going to be like that. But as and when the coal is extending like this, probably you can play with the E and the R a little bit more so that it's going to be like like that, Like literally curving towards this, these directions. And you will be getting the W, I, and the E and are a little bit. And the lead form where it's just kind of extending and it's become bigger. Insights as competitors. So you can really play around with sizes. It's totally up to you. But you get these kind of basic understanding of how you can, you know, you can create these lines and start playing around with these letters. That's pretty much very important for you to understand. So Christmas and this merry, Merry Christmas, I was supposed to dry. But I started off with this and then I forgot about Mary. So I came back and wrote me and that really doesn't matter because we can really edit this in Photoshop. So it doesn't really matter at all. There's one book which I would recommend if you might like to go into script forms. It's by Molly Subaru taupe. I hope that's how it is supposed to be red. And it's called, It's called the modern calligraphy. So if you are really interested in looking into such books, you can always go and check them out on Amazon. This is more like, you know, it's like a deep forest and there's someone looking through the lease. Hey, is it a butterfly or a tiger? That's something which you have to decide. And that was the whole concept behind this outward. And I ended up doing, just like I said, for lines in the center of the page and then I started creating the lattice. So that's how you do this one. Again with this one, I've created, I've tried creating some like, you know, these kind of script font. Here. It's again, I tried to use slightly curved lines. And if tasked to be mostly like it should all fit in that curved lines. So that's what you need to try and do. Here. I've used the box, tried to use the box and then implemented these letters into inside, inside that particular box. So it stays in a rectangular box. So that's how that leptin is done. And this one here is a little bit different. I just mean sure that it all stays in the baseline. And then I just kind of bleed around with the height of each letters. So it's not like like I said, mostly the letters stay inside the x-height and only when you have the S and you kind of draw or draw them about that x-height. Which is not in this case because I just wanted to explore with the letters and I wanted to make sure that it looks like the site, the edge of a key. So that's how I had done this one. So it's totally up to you. There's no hard rules. You can really play around with your letters in the way you want, especially to bring in your ideas and into your artwork. So it's totally up to you, but there are few things which you might have to keep in mind when you're actually starting out. Again, this is like COPD data which had done. So basically I did curved lines here and then I did my letters inside that. So this is also one example which I can show you when you're looking out to start something in that curved line. Now let me show you some other examples from the ones which I actually started off. And as you can see, it's, it's doggedly wobbly lines. There's no control of my lines. And it's like literally you can see, I have I didn't really know back then how to put those lines within a particular box and keep, keep sizes similar and things like that. So this is, these are some examples which I would like to show you when you might end up doing when you're actually starting off. Because the thing is like, you know, when you start, you are definitely going to make mistakes, okay? But you don't have to feel bad about it or you don't really have to feel that, oh my God, this just does look sick or it, it doesn't look good on and things like that. You don't really have to feel that way because everything comes with time. Like if you keep putting your efforts, you will be able to see your work turning in to something very, very nice. Don't stop yourself from creating artworks just because it might turn out to be something that, okay, that is not what we want. If you want to be putting in more efforts to really kind of bring that work that much better. So only if your practice you can really see that. Hello everyone. 8. Planning your Artwork: Before starting your final artwork, it is better to planned artwork so you have a better direction to work on the main artwork and be created inside the rectangle of the size that you want your artwork to fit in. So what I have done here is basically I drew a rectangle and then I have section did, and I won. I would probably bring my letters somewhere inside this rectangular box. But before I go into it and start drawing directly on my final piece of paper, I would just go and planet out, plan the layout a little bit. So on another piece of paper so I can have a better direction towards what I'm working on. So play around a little bit the letters and see what you can create and come up with. Okay? So a planning your artwork can always help you to build a layout first. So when you create the final artwork you create with the complete picture in mind, I tried to play around by altering the space between the lines. That would be one possibility that you could do. Or probably you could even create some shapes that resonate with the topography that you're planning to bring in. Or even you could even try out bringing in elements that can explain what you want to express through your words. So explore the possibilities and come up with your own ideas. Okay, so that's about how you can plan your artwork. Just keep playing around and I'm sure you will be able to and find a good layout for your artwork. So I really hope you understand that it is very important to plan your artwork prior to creating your final piece of artwork. All right, so without further ado, let's just go into the next class. 9. Edit your sketch in photoshop: All right, So let's get into Photoshop and create a new documents. So create new is what you need to click first, create new document and select a size for your B pitch. Let's just say 10 by 10 for the dying beam and or maybe 12 by 10 to 12 identity blue and horizontal orientation. Let's keep it at that. I'm keeping that inches collarbone. We select RGB color mode and make sure it's in 300 resolution and clean it. Now we have our document right now, so we just need to drag and drop your artwork into the document into Photoshop. So let's just let it load. And yes. So let me just put it there and hit Enter. Okay, So what we did right now is we just imported this artwork into Photoshop and we want to test out a color palette for this artwork. Okay, so what we're gonna do, all right now first we need to brighten this up a little bit. So Control L on your keyboard to get the levels. And just drag those white point to where you can find the art work becoming a little bit more brighter. So you can just move it until this becomes brighter and the black will help you, help the shadows to darken. So that's what it does. So let me just see what fits. Just make sure to strength to make it as bright as possible. Let's just hit Okay and see on yet, Let's just move it and see. Okay, it's too bright economic 0 edges. So, yeah, I think that should do. I want to see the edges. Okay? Now what I'm gonna do is take the lasso tool and just draw around the darker areas. Okay, once more. And just go around it and selected. So lasso tool will help you to select the area you have, you gone wrong. And then again hit Control L for levels and just try and jesting these points. So I think they'll do see, and let's just call once again into lasso tool and just select. Okay. No, that's just too much. So let's leave my tapped into something and check. Another way to fix that. Let's just see if we can play with the curves a little bit. Okay, so first, this particular artwork is there as a smart object so you can see this small square. So in order to take that off and make a drastic racist right-click and rasterize layer. And now it's rasterized image. So what we do right now is we'll go down here and yeah, select curves. And just try to fix this from here so you can just select a point. They feed, you know, what fits you better. You can, if you can play with this and see what fits better or how that your body, the artwork could look better. Then I think that's all what we need. Okay? So I just want to make this a little bit lighter. That's the reason I am trying to make use curves and levels. And really looking to just slide this down, lighten this dung. And also to make sure that I still, I can still see the edges. So I can work on just so you can work on top of it. So just need to slightly see the edges and then then we can work on it. We can start coloring on it. So just use the levels and curves to lighten it up. And you can erase all of this extra edges of the paper. And you can just didn't select and delete. Delete on your keyboard. Hit Delete on your keyboard. Now. That's it. So I think right now it's ready and we can start coloring it in first, we need to find a color palette. And then we can start coloring it. 10. Finding color palette using pinterest: Pinterest. One thing you can make it easier. It's like I have really saved so many colors balanced. So you can go into my my profile checkout color palettes over there. Or you could simply type in color palettes and then you can check out even their color palettes. And when you go on to my Pinterest account, you can find this folder and you have so many color balance which is saved in for you to check out. So we don't really have to literally, they can easily keep searching for working on or something like that. So basically you have so many beautiful color palettes here. So since we have like, the block is more like money, honey, and it's like a honey jar of glass bottle legacy. So we would like to have a color's something related to something which is really nice, bright yellow. You are probably we're going to think of and maybe some nice browns. So property I can use this one here. So open in new tab, click, right-click and save in my image as a GIF back to downloads so that the downloading, so I will be back in a moment after selecting colors that I'm going to use for my artwork. 11. Testing color palette using photoshop: All right, so we are back and we have, I mean, I have some colors here. I'm just going to bring all these, whatever I found, some inspiration, like the colors from the three example they doing. Honey, jar of honey. So we need some inspiration for that too, just to get the idea of how it looks and feel. So for all that, we've just brought in, these images, just make this canvas size a little bit more bigger. So we have space to get all this. To just place them outside hot artwork and see dropping in things like that. Okay. So here are some colors which I really liked. Yellows and orange spleen here. This doesn't have so many orange or yellow, but I found one yellow. But this year alone, it seems to have a nice, nice feel with all these other colors. So I thought, let's bring that in here too. So I don't know what I'm planning to, but we just kind of play and experiment with the colors. So there's no hard rules. You can just kind of go in and see what you really want to play with or bringing those colors totally up to you. So probably algae start something like this light, bluish, girly. It's almost like white. So let's start that for the jar. So, okay, now we need to go back to the layers and make sure you select artwork layer. So if you double-click here or you can just kind of rename the layer so it starts the artwork layer. So let's just go in check. Okay, so that's selected. You can see there. So now this is Select and now we can paint on top of that. You can also go and hit like select whichever brush type, that brush tip you want, whatever you want, you can deselect it so that it's there. So if you can't just find it here, you may not find it here because I've always kept it for me to work. So that's not going to be there on your Photoshop mostly. But what you can do is you can go into my brushes and you can find a lot of brushes right there. So you can go brush settings and shape dynamics. It hit Shift M on the dynamics, moving. Maybe you can also add in some wet brushes so you can really play with these things. Okay, I I don't really test sell hot with all these brushes. Just kind of going do it and then start working. So I still haven't explored a lot about these brushes. But that's something if you really knew, really, really, really want to kind of explore and have a lot of time to just kind of explore with this. Please do it. It's a wonderful way to get good hang of these brushes and different types of brushes in Monty does what? Each of these settings and things like that. So seriously, if you really have, if you're really interested, please go and do it. I have just explored with few of them. I have I've tried out that crushes. Apart from that, these are the only two kind of just two of the settings that I keep checked. And then I alter with these brush tips and things like that. So that's what I do. So we are not going to leg now. Bring in a lot of differences or like a lot of changes. Because we just want to bring, we just want to see which colors you, this artwork. So we just kind of experimenting here. So it's not much. Let me just grab this up probably with this one to screen. So you just don't want to, like, you know, there's nothing much, too much. We just want to get the color combinations, right? That's all you're trying to do here. So what you can do, if you wanted to zoom in and go like really zoom in, then you can just Hit controller command and plus sign together and the two of them. So that's why I just did right now. So okay. And if there's something that you want to just go back one step behind, then you can just hit Control or Command Z on your keyboard. I'm just going to give us light outline because most of the bond, so just to bring those Carlos little bit up those outliers so I can see what I'm doing. And start with the yellows because we have some gold coins here. Let's just start with this yellow, bright yellow for the gold coins. So that's going to be C. And there's going to be something good. Zooming in is Control plus and zoom out this control minus. Don't forget that. So which you'll be doing that quite often. So that'll me, that does very important to keep that in mind. So this column here, I just don't find much difference. So let's just go in and probably selected bit more DACA levels on the scholar. So what you do is you just stop here on this palette. Double-tap it so you get the color picker from you. And then just moving a little bit down and hit Okay. So also you can, you know, it I've used the size of the brush with the left bracket tool and right bracket tools. You know, just if you want to resize the brush, you can do that. All right. It's not so yellowy. Yes. As it looks, you can see that right here. But then just drag this. You can hit the right bracket and increase the size of this in this space. Now what we need spinner that, right? So instead of just kinda to me like that, I just use the pen tool. Let me just see. You can just name the neck when the clock comes. You can just if it's curving. The way you want, you can just drop it. If you wanted. Just going to delete that had low way. You can hit Alt or Option key and just click on the center and that handled with just disappear. So you can go further. Otherwise, the shape that couldn't be duly affected. I mean, show you what I mean. Like if I select here and then I come here. Now since it's curving property, it's fine. But for example, if I need to come heal, stuck when here, they have to come here. This is going to be in a different shape. So that's not what I want. So in order to get rid of that, you can just hit Alt or Option key and then click on the center. And that is, again, since it's golfing and I need that curve in the way I wanted. So I'm just going to make sure that Tantalus disappeared, disappears, and then I'm just going to go forward. Now once I killed this loop, I'm going to hit control or command and enter. That gets selected. Okay? So if ever you want to just save this selection, you can go always to select Save Selection and then mean the selection. So Josh and hit, Okay, and let me select it and show you what I can do about it. So control or command D to deselect the selection. And then what you can do is if you want to just come back later to kind of do some editing on something. And when the flexion is not there, you need to really go in and click that selection. So one thing is to go to Select and load the selection. So that's the jar hit, Okay, and the selection comes back. There's another way you can do this. And you can also go on to this layer, the shape layer. And then you can hit control or command. And when this sign pops up like that, There's a hand and there's special way she dotted line that is coming down. So when that pops up, you can just hit ones on that layer and then she gets an active. So that's another way you can do that. Alright, so Control or Command D to de-select. So he really didn't have to do to get there. I just thought it was going each category, the illustration. Please. Can you just have to go to, you know, just bring in the basic color combination, just try out some color combinations. And that's what he did. He got a little carried away with the illustration. So I'm really enjoying doing this. There's no need of getting, especially, especially if you're trying it out just to get the hang up those color combinations. So maybe let's just see. Must be something that's going to be a concept. Yeah, I like that. I didn't like that. 12. Hand painted part1: Okay, so we're gonna get started with the hand painting and let me just start with guage. If you don't have Washington or you can overt. So you can also use watercolors or acrylics, doesn't matter. But right now I'm going to be using quash. And this is Academy wash, and it is lemon yellow that I have in hand right now. So it's not that golden yellow that we just kind of created on shipping and using additional painting. So, but this is a lemon yellow and I do have vermilion red. So let's just try these two, mixing these two colors and see what color we could be right? Yet, we might probably get something a little bit more yellowish. So we will see we can mix these two colors to get the kind of color that we want it. Okay, so I'm using Academy goulash Academy gosh is a perfect for anyone who's just starting out with quash. Especially if it's actually student quality, gosh. And student quality as it has its own limitations. It's also very cheaply available. Most Walsh Hadamard wash is the high-quality SHE mincut gosh. That is mainly for, you know, design now purposes, designing purposes and like really good quality, It's got good-quality pigments in it. And it's quite expensive. So that's, That's about the difference between the types of goals that is available right now. Yes. There's also one more from linker that is design and launch. This is the color that we actually want, but I'll just see if we can mix these two colors. And if I'm able to get this quantity, sorry, this kinda almost scholars. So just in case if you don't have this, this kind of yellow, we'll just, you could, you could probably use these two colors and then mix them up to get some scallop. Okay. So the first step here is to just finish off. I'm the yellow painting, the yellow to any of those paths which do you feel that you need to add in the yellows, okay, select the honey area, or even, even the coins that you need to finish off. Just finish all of them with the golden yellow which we just mixed. So for the detail things here, I'm going to add in a little bit of grease. So for that, I'm just kind of mixing up the sign or greens to woman in and adding a little bit of white to get the graves. So 1 million and green is complimentary colors. So it will give you a muddy, brownish, grayish colors. So by actually adding a little bit of white, it's giving you a totally different color from the brown, which I really got initially. So adding the white would just give me a, this is just giving me a great tool, which is exactly what I want for the dealings. So let's just go into it and finish off the edges of the judge. You can add a little bit more of white to this gray and tone it down. Add a little bit more of water, and then fill that on the sides of the jar where, you know, where you see the transparent ADS. So you can actually paint that area with the light duty washed-out gray. So that does what I've given it. Also add in a little bit more of the yellows to the sites that will give you more depth. You can add in a little bit more of yellows to dock and those up and and just show radiation asked all the glass jar has a lot of shadows and lights reflecting. So that as and when you keep building up, you can start painting on the site and even on the dove is off the job. And now mixing over million and green together to get a brownish shade. I did the brown color. Wherever you feel like you want to add in, especially on the edges of the honey area. The honey which is flowing down or on the coins, are probably even on the sides of the jar. So these ideas which you fee, whichever you feel that needs all of these areas might need a little bit more of details, like with the very thin brush. Even go in and actually make them. 13. Hand Painting Part2: All right, so let's just finish off the final details using white. So I'm just trying to get the reflection. Yeah. So just use very thin strokes using white. And you can also add in details to the coins wherever you feel that there are some shadows required or any kind of details that you feel at this bottom point of time, you can just add them in. And yeah, and then let's just also finish of our letters. For that, I'm mixing pink and purple together, half-open hand and thus things and I use verbal four letters. But if you don't have portable, you can just mix up blue and red together or blue and magenta together, whichever you have, just, just kind of mix them up and see what color you would get something similar. If you're getting something similar, then that's great. If you're getting something a little different, it's totally fine because it's just colors. You can just mix them up and and to spin them in. So it doesn't matter at all. Just enjoy the process and do it. That's all. Let me just going quickly and finish of this letters here. So and you doing the letters just try to really keep that street wherever the line the street and wherever wherever that is calling to strive door tried to cover them in properly and see what you can really get from it. Like literally go in to stake your own dime and bin them out. Okay. So I'll quickly finish this off and I come back to you. Word honey, I just mixed in even more fight to the things that I've used and I've just lowered lake literally made the color a little bit more later. And I've just applied to the word honey. Okay. And I'm also adding a little bit of weight or big wash on the sides of the letters to bring depth to these letters. So it's just going to give me a 3D feel as though it's like no, it has some depth and it's got the volume. So leg back. So just to give the field so i'm, I'm just focusing all on those left sides of the letters. So it can really help me to just, you know, just give me that 3D feel on that when you actually focus on one particular site and give you a good constantly look at the various. Basically when you do letters, just try to grab some inspiration from Pinterest or books or posters, or probably somewhere on Instagram where you feel that, you know, someone has done some letters which you feel which are looking nice dry to get dried, to be inspired from these letters and try to do them the way, like just use those techniques and tried to build them by yourself. So that will really help you. Don't copy anybody's work. It's it's always nice to build your own work. It's it's actually what they do. You know, when you put in your own thoughts, your own ideas, your own fun facts. It's really nice to see when that comes out, rather than, you know, just copy somebody else. But you can always get inspired by somebody else's work. Because that's really nice. It's like where you need to start from, you know, get, get inspired, and then do your own thing. So it actually shows you a part two, really. And do you need to move? Just that I feel that may lead us to a wall. So I feel that I've lost that glossiness of the job. So I'm just adding in a little bit more of the white stroke to bring in those reflections back. So you can add in any kind of detailing at the end if you feel that there's something that you're missing out. 14. It is time to frame: And read and spell and stuff. 15.
