Painting my Self Portrait as an 80 year old

so you may have been thinking on yeah you literally mistake the entire painting and you didn't fill in any of it whoa wrong wrong wrong this literally was just me trying to get the proportions it was very my dogs gonna join us today cuz it's too hot outside my rooms air-conditioned we got me an air conditioner yesterday come back I think it doesn't really look like me but like it kind of does I have to make myself look old you know I'm gonna be real I don't know how to do portraits I don't like doing stuff that's realistic it's boring but I am going to make myself look like I'm 80 and I will succeed that is all that I am expecting I'm not an expert on how to look old okay we're just gonna have to figure this out you want to know something about age America which is where I'm from the good land of the USA it's very commercialized all advertisements that at least I see and I see a lot of them because they're everywhere it's just telling people that being old is not a good thing and that you want to look young and you want this moisturizing cream because it will get rid of all your wrinkles and you want this stuff because then you won't be old what is wrong with being all tell me what is wrong with being 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 versus being 15 I love it and I am so excited to be 70 in 80 and 90 because that is going to be a new stage of life I'm here for it and you can't tell me anything differently ha ha America can't get me there I would be old yet oh yes yes it does look like you bones thanks MA mm-hmm you might think I'm being naive for saying that I'm gonna be happy or enjoy aging but I'm gonna try my hardest because you can't avoid that you're gonna get old and you're gonna look old eventually well I find it you can't do anything about it it's a part of life I have a fun story but I don't want it to be taken the wrong way but it's just like it's just funny you see these things the movies and your nobody could be that you could think I'm taking it wrong but I don't think I'm taking it wrong so I guess we could call this a story time so buckle your seatbelts sit tight pull the railings so a few months ago more maybe three I don't know there was this guy we were talking and whatnot and we finally got around to hanging out and we went to go see a movie it was cute and it was good and like I went away that night with us like yes like he this is good this is good like I had some suspicions about the guy but I was like hmm we'll just put that to the side gonna ignore it and then we tried making I mean I had amazing excuses and the thing is it's like usually you know you can kind of get a hang of like okay this person doesn't want to see me again because their excuses are like dumb but these excuses were so good and so believe was I was like okay like yes it totally makes sense like you have to go pick up your sister like okay this happened like four times and then I was like hmm maybe he does just not want to see me again getting the vibes that this was not happening so they stopped texting him and he completely stopped texting me and he made it clear he made it clear through all this that he does not want to talk to me anymore and I was like okay fine by me like sure and so maybe talk for lunch a few days ago like last week you know after that bob ross video or something which is so weird I don't know okay but I did talk about that for a second that video was up for two months and then YouTube was like mmm yes oh what a wet twit yeah so he texted me last week he was like hey he made it clear he did not want to talk to me I was like excuse you you have text me for months and you happen to text me now and now of all times the nerve the audacity the guts sounds like interesting and he left his his sunglasses in my car so this is why I said I was like if you want your sunglasses back I'd be glad for you to come get that because why else would he be texting obviously not to talk to me so he was like no I just wanted to say hi I was like sure so I was like interesting what made you think of me and then he just said he thought of me and that is a bunch of booty I'm not being petty I'm being holistic and whatever you might call it yeah that's that I have some very fun news if you don't know who GT Davis you should I love him he is he has changed the world and he knows who I am sorry I mean teary eyed because it just means so much to me anyways so GT Dave he pretty much made bottled kombucha he is the king of kombucha he is the love of my life I love him I don't know what the world would be without him so the other day I you know I bought some kombucha because it heals my soul and I loved it and then I tagged him in my Instagram story and he responded which means he has seen my face and he said thank you for the support love you he loves me nobody can touch me nobody can get a Viet near me now because GT Dave loves me and I love GT Dave yeah I just had to I talked about the world know what I do without him I don't know you know I might just keep this until I actually turn 80 and see how accurate I was [Music] this is when I start getting impatient crazy so I decided I'm gonna do color I'm very scared I'm going to break out of my comfort zone and go explore the world and by doing so I'm going to use color this is a round not very familiar with and I always want to use funky colors like I just don't want to do skin tone just boring I'm gonna do bu me some fun my energy and motivation is starting to run low hello my mind has been quiet because I have been painting let's talk let's converse here's the thing you know when people have conversations and it starts out with like whips your favorite blank your favorite color your favorite ice cream flavor you know what I'm just sick and tired of it why do I have to have a favorite can I just like them all can I just like butter you I hate butter pecan um can I like cookies and cream and vanilla and strawberry and raspberry I like them all and I don't want a favorite I don't choose in favorite color I will never be able to do that you know if I think about it like if I had to look at one color for the rest of my life it would be green because that's already like nature but I think they're all pretty I think they're all soothing and I don't want to have a paper No thank you good morning yeah I slept fruit I slept for 11 hours no regrets I realize I look like an avatar okay I didn't really think of that once I started my color scheme I'm gonna try my best to make it look the LAT least like an avatar and more like a fun fun fun picture I know if anyone else has this problem whenever someone starts this topic it lasts for a good hour of people just needing to tell their story about it but I need to tell my story about it I have the funkiest funkiest dreams sometimes it's really questionable what's going on but during it's like Oh my gosh like I can't believe this is happening but it's not like crazy to me I'm just like overwhelmed just like no specific stories I just can't retain what happens but I all I know is that they're weird it's so weird oh now for the next dog before we move on I have to give tribute to another video I tried to make like two weeks ago it was my 10,000 brushstrokes for 10,000 subscribers but then I didn't have 10,000 subscribers anymore so I couldn't really do it because I wasn't really like it didn't it wasn't applicable anymore but it was a lot of hard work I need the world to know that I put a lot of hard work into this painting and it was kind of a failure but it kind of turned out I'm quickly gonna play that and then we're gonna resume this painting enjoy I will be doing 10,000 brushstrokes exactly my brain can count that high hundred shoot five hundred nine hundred let's get painting ooh hmm okay I'm gonna start with the face because that is the hardest thing for me it's not easy it usually ends up not looking like a face I'm scared but we're gonna go for it and we're gonna see how this turns out okay okay oh shoot I forgot to count oh no I don't remember what number elves on is that really that bad where are we doing this we're starting over again I did it too dark I just this is not working and also I lost count again it is now the next day that's fun let's continue I'm not even halfway and this is taking me like two days we're doing great ones d two hundred fifty seven hundred thirty one hundred three eight hundred forty two hundred forty six hundred I think so I'm gonna be real here that hair is a little suss 5300 I look like a lion but you know what that makes sense because I'm a Leo actually guess it was meant to happen okay so what's ready to hair I've literally been here longer than I was for the mural I haven't left my house in three days I feel fine there's no need to go see what's going on at the grocery store and fine just being in my house doing my thing watch with the background color be mm-hmm starting to feel very in tune with like myself now in my possible future self like just look at me I'm gonna be such a wise old cookie and I am for sure going to be getting stuff for my grandchildren at this point I was so stressed and frustrated with this painting and this whole process that I decided I needed to go watch the Sun Rise and just leave everything behind so that's what I did Here I am walking here's the lovely Lake splashing water on me and it's very scary and loud it was quite frightening actually but I got to write some of my thoughts down and clear my head and you know the same goes for you you ever feel a little just clouded in the brain take some time to step away and allow yourself to decompress now we shall resume the video I have now been here for three days put some earrings on you tell it to the earring pan just looks like a weird thing the big earring I'm gonna have some sagging your lobes it's worth it to be cool this painting can't be finished without some stickers oh so
