Hello! Today we're going to be filling another spread in my sketchbook and for inspiration, I've brought candy! That has a stronger smell than I was anticipating Hopefully people with peanut allergies can't smell that. So yeah, today I thought we could draw some characters inspired by some of the favorite Halloween candies, the classics. I remember growing up it was like 40% Reese's, 40% KitKats and then 20% like miscellaneous. So we have to do those two. Then also I guess this pack has Reese's Pieces and then you got Almond Joy which is nice, you can bring in some different colors, then classic. So yeah, let's dive in and make some art. ♪ You know, for research, we should probably open up some of these. See what colors are on the inside of the wrappers. So which one should we start with? I'm feeling Reese's. Here we go, we got the color orange, yellow, the color brown. I feel like we should open it, for science. [Phone rings] Whoa We'll start with the Reese's. So I'm thinking. You've got like that like ruffly edge. I want to incorporate that somehow. Start with just like a human. Reese's feels like a boy to me. KitKat feels more like a girl, which is weird 'cause like one of my first original characters last name is Reese, she's a girl. We're gonna go - Wait, drawing feminine features here. Wait, I wanted to draw dude. OooOooo. Okay, we're just drawing like the husk and shell of a human. And then from there, we can start adding in the design elements So we've got the roughly edge. Now, do I want it to be like a casual look? Do I want to like make him the king 'cause it kind of looks like a crown and what kind of personality do you think a Reese's cup would have? I mean I assume they kind of think they're really popular because they are and maybe they know it. If I remember correctly, Snickers I was like voted the best candy and I don't have that. What if Reese's thinks it's better than Snickers, so personality is a bit more like Snickers might have been voted the best but I know I am the best. Two hands crossed like that. Just like, Snickers ain't got nothing on me! There's a body. Maybe for hair we can use that jaggedy edge. I really love that shape because it's like from the foil. Oh now it just looks like Brock! Maybe some sideburns. Now for outfit, he definitely has to wear outerwear because this candy has outerwear. Maybe he wears white Sneakers. Those big chunky Nike kind of things. ♪ I'm feeling skinny jeans or maybe those pants that are kind of like wider at the top and then like get skinnier down here. Maybe they end like right about there, maybe longer. Maybe a long t-shirt, one of those shirts that says like number one on it. Like a zero and then a one. Oh yeah it's like a jock. Okay give him one of those um varsity jackets. I need to like look up a reference though. I know what they look like, I just want to like do it right, you know. Oh, that's actually going to work really well because like you see how the logo goes in yellow with like the dark, thick outline, you can do those like stripes in those colors. So this will be like stripy and yellow and brown. Maybe I should leave it open but for now this will be fine. Cuffs have the same stripe pattern. Their hand will be poking out there somewhere and this will probably have that stripe too. Now it kind of looks like it's just wearing football pants. I don't know if there's a name for those. Okay then we have the white sneakers. There, yeah, there's a sneaker! I'm feeling a little less interested in these weird cropped pants. Maybe I'll just pull them all the way down. Let's give them a little cuff, so like sweatpants. This socks is a bit of a look. Let's give it a nice seam down the front, makes it look more expensive. I might want to try something different with the hair maybe, just draw his head again. Kind of low eyebrows. Okay there's a head. I kind of wanted to be a bit more round, since it's a circular candy. He's one of those kids that just knows everybody and everybody knows him. So he just ends up at all the parties, throws a lot of them too. Actually someplace else we can really put that shape is maybe on the pockets. I don't know, is that weird? I do think we should try to incorporate it in more places though, maybe the sneakers. Anyway, hair. What if we just make the hairline more normal looking. Like he styles the hair up and then we'll find that shape in it, so I'm gonna do it lightly. Looks like whipped cream on the top of his head. Like it never happened. 'Cause we could go with a different hair. We just sort of like take inspiration from it, so it's got like sharp edges. It's not so bad. ♪ Here we go. I think that works and like it's a haircut you can draw in actually different angles, like how do you draw this in a different angle? It kind of reminds me of apple cinnamon. Have you been around my channel long enough to know who that is? It was from a design contest. ♪ A little logo on them. All right I think next step is to add some color. So let's draw maybe sittin' here, trying to fill this space. Let's just start with the sitting, slouching a little. Oh shoot that's not enough space, move on up please! Okay what if we do cross-legged? I might need a reference for this. Throw in the features later. ♪ You should play up the sideburns a little more. ♪ Maybe one arm on the foot, maybe one arm here . We need to swatch colors, too. We gotta find like the right orange. Oh that might be it! What is this, orange! This is the Ohuhu marker. Browns aren't great in Ohuhu, so I might have to go to Copic for that. Although that's pretty close! And we'll need a yellow. Not the right - I feel like I've used these colors in a different illustration before. Oh I shouldn't be doing shading, wait I'm gonna be erasing this. I should be using my col-erase pencil if I want to do markers! For the next one, we'll do it a little cleaner. I gave him really round eyes there and I really like that, so do the same thing. ♪ It calls me! ♪ Little arm there. Kind of decided against the leg. If I had done it with a col-erase pencil, I think I'd be more likely to continue with that but I'm a little nervous about redrawing something over and over again with graphite We'll do his number one because that's his personality. Put this hand like this maybe. Oh you're not gonna see his sneakers! What if I add like a little piece of paper that like folds out? I'm gonna take this. This feels like the old days! A phone. I feel like the last time I drew a dude on this channel, I gave him a phone. I'll give him a smile. Just add some like stitching texture. Let me like maybe lightly erase this. We'll give the shoes another pass but I kind of want to add line-art and start coloring what I can. To use a 0.5. ♪ Let's see that, I erased it too much! ♪ I like the way that hair turned out. There's a head! ♪ A little cuff. I think I'll do the stripes of just the color. ♪ Gotta do this awesome hand, I'm so proud of it. ♪ I don't know what happened there with the knee pit. ♪ You don't even see those pockets. Put this aside for now. Do we do it, does it work? Football helmet, I don't know. [Laughs] I probably should have done like little thumbnails first to figure out the color scheme. I still have space, do something real quick. So I was thinking dark brown and yellow for the stripes on this thing. I thought brown for like the hair and I guess orange for the jacket, since we want like a majority orange. That's the color the wrapper is. White sneakers. We could mix the yellow and the orange maybe for pants. Or we mix all of them, I need to add a grey. let's try mix these two. Kind of neutralize it and the white sneakers, maybe orange stripy socks. This looks like it works, I just need some kind of skin tone. What's the inside of the Reese's? a little bit brighter than that, more saturated. Nope that is too light. That's too orange, what if I mix these two. Maybe mix this with like a really light grey. That's the closest, so I'm mixing warm grey and barley beige. This, I feel like that works, I just have to throw in the colors. I kind of wish the skin was darker though. Problem is like there's so many other darker colors, this kind of be hard to find contrast if I do that. I still could darken it but I think I'm gonna go with this. This on top. Brown for the hair or burnt umber specifically! Why am I so shaky? I'm having a really hard time staying in the line. Oh that's a nice hair color. Brown on the outside. I'll do yellow on the inside, that's exactly what I pictured! Orange for the jacket. That is such an orange! So gorgeous. Socks are orange stripes, yellow. Blush, Oop, blend it, blend it, blend it! Ahhhh!! I think I got it. I might give him a yellow t-shirt. Grey just to make it different. Now, ideally I'd want to take this, kind of go around this shape. For the pants, basically this color but then layered with the orange, then layered - I don't remember what it was. Oh, the cool grey. I might just skip the orange part and go straight with the grey. ♪ If that doesn't look like a Reese's, I don't know what does! I think the skin could go for a tad darker. [Marker cap clicks off] Try a little bit of ash rose because like Reese's doesn't have that pale color anywhere. I was trying to find this orangey peanut butter color, maybe this will be better. I don't think I've ever used this as a skin tone before, so I'll take it! Oh wow that actually looks so much closer. This is still yellower, could try layering it with some yellow. Yellow blush with this orange. I feel like it needs more orange though now, they are a little - Although this is un-neutralizing it from the grey. I think we'll just leave one leg different, separate them. Let me grab a white gel pen. We can do a little nose highlight. Okay I am pretty happy with that, even the skin tone looks like there's peanut butter now. It looks great! Alright, I think we should move on to another candy. What do you think we should go for next!? I'm really tempted to do Reese's pieces and like draw a little brother, definitely want to do KitKat. I really want to do Almond Joy because it's blue. I can't leave out Hershey's! We might be here a while. I think I'll do KitKat. I kind of want to take advantage of this like swirl maybe and then kat, maybe it should just be a cat, a straight up cat. ♪ So maybe they have a cat. I don't know how to make a cat look like a KitKat bar. We should probably take a look-see, it's a two for one deal, right? What if they're twins Kit and Kat. Let's start with like just some bodies and then we'll come up with some uh, clothing. ♪ Now for their personality, what do we want to do? Got to try and give them the same face though, so they look like identical twins. I don't know how capable I am of doing that. What colors do you have? Red, kind of an orange and kind of a yellow. What if we give them - I'm thinking of a wrapper, so it gives me an idea of like a wrap top, the sleeves are kind of flowy and then have that wrapper ridge on the edge. Then maybe it has like a tie it comes down here and that ridge again. Not sure why I decided with the curly hair. KitKats are straight so maybe I should go with straight hair. ♪ What if I do something like super similar and yet different for like the other outfits. So maybe like sleeves. Although I don't know if I want anything round because like I said, [Laughs] KitKats are very straight. Maybe a square neckline, that's straight edges. Yeah it's too blueberry, maybe a different kind of wrap top. I'll give one a skirt and one pants. Like a girl group. I'll put the hand up here. ♪ And then one can have like a red top a brown bottom and then one can - Oh wait it's yellow isn't it? Actually this tells us the colors. Where's their pink!? We could do yellow, red, yellow, red, red, yellow. I've embraced the curly hair, maybe if we add like a ruffle, that would look like a wrapper. Maybe double, is that too fancy looking? No! Oh I like that pose! What if we do those like long thicker pants, like wider leg, cuff at the bottom. Feels like a candy bar to me, you know, it's a straight leg ayy! I kind of want to embrace like one dress is more frilly and one dress is more masculine, shoulder pads! What if this is the wrap top, this isn't a wrap top. Instead, there's like a wrap belt. So we can tuck this in, throw in our wrap tie there. Might give this one short hair, too. We should swatch some of the colors. Oh that's better. It's actually a little too pinky though! Oh did we find it? I think that's close as we're gonna get. Let's go with the deep red! I think we can use that same brown, just a beautiful chocolate color. nope that's too light. These are like all the same. Terracotta i think that one's pretty red. I think I actually like that better than a raw umber, it's just a little bit warmer. Little miniatures. Didn't decide on any shoes but we'll figure it out. A little thumbnail! Let's try the colors. Hmm, it's not screaming KitKat. I think it says ketchup and mustard. Make sure it's more overwhelmingly red. A scarf. [Marker cap clicks off] Think I'll use the same color then layer it with the red, just add a swirl instead of a scarf and maybe some shoes. Let's see if we can fit them right here. I want to make sure their legs fit this time. Sketch them in slowly. ♪ We got the head. Thinking about turning this more into like a blazer, that way the shoulder pads make sense. High-waisted pants. Straight down like that. Do I want to keep the little sash? Throw it in for now. I want there to be a cuff on the end of these. I feel like the shirt doesn't quite suit it anymore. This arm can just kind of come around this way. Square off those shoulders a little bit more. I think this one's going to be Kit that one's a Kat, it could go either way! Let me know what you think which one's which. Probably should draw the body before I finish the head. Add that square neckline. Tie was really cute, I'm keeping that. Maybe a crop top. I haven't decided on how that skirt's gonna end though. Let me trim down the curves a little, make them look a little bit less like a woman. Maybe adding the frills will help. I want to add like that swirl in here somewhere. I think that one's shorter than this one. Put that hand right here. There we go. Skirt's not where I want it. Try it again. I like that one better. Fix up this face a little. I'm so glad I did the pants, they look so much more like KitKats to me. Basically, they're inseparable, kind of like a KitKat. Right, I think I'm ready, grab my kneaded eraser, lighten it up, throw in some line-art! Shoot, I cut into the chin. Now it's gonna look a lot smaller than I anticipated. ♪ And we just go around adding in our old line-art. ♪ Cuff the edge. I don't know why I'm drawing shoes like this, I never draw shoes like this. Don't ask me what kind of shoes these are, I don't really know. Now the other one A little barrette. Let's add in the rest of this. Here we go we got another one. Another what? I don't know. I added some bracelets. With the ruffles. I guess both layers. ♪ Alright, I think that's it for the line-art. Let's do the yellow first on this top, from there we can add the swirl. Basically, it's yellow, it's like pinkish red and it swirls around. The rest is red. This is kind of a cool shirt. Well now we know where the pink was, in the back of this. We'll leave this little tie yellow. Then we'll do red for the pants. Let's use R2. ♪ Maybe I'll use that pink for the rolled edge. I think it needs to be a little redder. R2 was my lightest red, just add a little bit and blend it. I kind of like that color. We'll do yellow socks with red shoes. We could do brown shoes but let me do red first. We'll let fate take us where it wants to go! Cool grey. Well now they're just black. Well, I tried. I'll layer up this. Nope that's not what I wanted. Maybe start with that honey color. I think this is darker than that. Perfect. Then with that we'll blend into the mahogany. I think we should just use some honey. The blending is not as smooth as I anticipated. I think it's just honey's too light for what I'm trying to do. [Marker caps clicks off] I'm just going to be very gentle with this and smooth it out slowly. I think I ended up making it patchy. I need to find a more similar brown for my first coat instead of whatever light honey color this is. I think for her, I'll just use mahogany and maybe it'll look smoother. ♪ It's not like it's so dark that you can't see the line-art or anything, so we'll be fine. ♪ We need yellow. Coming around there. And then the red. ♪ You know what might help, is adding a white gel pen. i should have made the left side Kit, oh well. I want it centered! What if we do it on the pant I do think i want to add a little bit of line-art around them because the logo does too. Try and just layer that again see if it can clean up the splotches. Nice thick coat of something dark. I added red to her hair but I didn't add it to her and it shows. ♪ Okay maybe add that like wear and tear texture, like it's corduroy or something. I think that'll do! Let's do Almond Joy though next because I could probably fit it like here So we've got the color blue! You know what I just realized? Let me open this up, show you. So if it's a person, do you maybe see where my brain is going? Does it not look a little pregnant? So I would like to go that route, I think. Oh it's like a grey olive kind of color, we can keep that in mind. We'll just draw the pose, I can't tell ya the last time I drew a pregnant human being so basically the baby like sits right here doesn't it? I mean the Almond. The baby's named Almond and the mom's name joy. The blue and the white make me think of like a lab coat for some reason. So maybe she's a doctor. I'll just throw in some features. If you're carrying that much weight in this region, I feel like you'll shift your pose. I don't know like that? Very pregnant. ♪ Just trying to get the body proportions down. I really do like the idea of the lab coat with maybe a blue outfit underneath. We'll throw that in for now. My rheumatologist is about that pregnant right now. Should we give her a mask? Might as well draw it, you know. # Goggles. Maybe a dress. With a slit, there. Wow, first try, I kind of like everything about it! A stethoscope, can we fit one in here? I'd color that if it wasn't on this page. That's how happy I am with this design already. I've modeled this after my rheumatologist. Draw from life! [Laughs] I don't know why it just so perfectly encompasses an Almond Joy to me. Definitely flat shoes, maybe even just sneakers. Super comfy. Oh we can do the little uh thumbnail. I definitely want to draw her sideways so you see the belly. Don't want that to go to waste. Okay let's add a little color. I was thinking - Oh we didn't even swatch. We'll use this as the dark blue. A little too light but it might work. Blending outwards from this. Let's try it, dark blue at the top of the dress. Fading into the mid-tone blue. We'll use this light blue for the mask. I suppose we could use that for the shoes. This has just became a fan art of my medical staff. #thank you essential workers! I might look for a reference of a pregnant woman and see how they stand ♪ Hand up here. I can do one arm down here. ♪ No real reason in drawing the bottom half of their face. ♪ How long, about there maybe? Maybe we'll pull the dress down to the knees. The sleeve down there. Like this you're not even gonna see, it's gonna look more like this. Goggles, this might work. I think the goggles, I'll just draw on with the white gel pen afterwards. This area is just really condensed, there's just a lot going on in a very small amount of space. Should have put the hair behind the back. I think that would have solved a few problems. Probably should have found a reference. [Laughs] ♪ Maybe not the most practical shoe when you're this far along but I just thought it would look cute. Let's get those three blues I'm gonna fill the whole thing in light blue and then we'll go from there. ♪ And this whole area will be this blue. ♪ Switch to the darker blue for the top half. Yeah this is more of the right blue. It'll be like a blue suede, ooh fashionable! Next up, hair. I know I want it to be that chocolate color. ♪ Buttercup yellow maybe? ♪ Maybe a little blue. Eyebrows be a little thicker. Then I actually want the skin to be a smidge darker. I wonder if honey would do the job. I like this color because it's so warm. Let me try the white gel pen to draw on the goggles. ♪ Just to separate it from being white. We could probably use this for a little shading. Does it look like an Almond Joy? It doesn't look as much as much of an Almond Joy as this one does. I'm gonna try and draw her one more time but I probably won't color it ♪ See if I can like fix this area that I was too tight on that one. We'll have the hair going behind that neckline Maybe put her hand in her pocket. Don't pull it away. Came down about the knees. Something about it feels really stiff, I don't know if it's like these lines I'm using for the lab coat. Oh we gotta include the stethoscope. That's probably too long. Well there you go. Okay, now that I've drawn this one, I like this one a lot mor. Just trying to fill some of this space now. How do you sit with an Almond in ya? ♪ Put her hair in a ponytail this time. Really keep it out of the way. ♪ I like this one actually. ♪ It looks uncomfortable. ♪ That's probably better from like a design point. Just so that you do get a lot more extra space here. Here we go. Alight what do we have left? We have the Hershey's bar and the Reese's pieces. I kind of feel comfortable not doing either of those. Not today. I'm happy with what we have so far. These are some of my favorite pages, I think. Let me know what your favorite Halloween candy is, like your favorite treat and then let me know which are your favorite of my humans that you like. I want to thank you guys for watching and I hope you all have a delicious evening full of waffles. Bye! ♪ [Dishes clatter]
