Being able to draw a portrait of Rick Astley on toilet paper with just a stolen pencil requires great talent dude.
It goes beyond talent. Pure hard work.
It's hard because the toilet paper rips. Even harder with a pen. Try writing on a double layered square of toilet paper with a pen. It's not super hard but it's anoying.
Thanks, now I know what I'm going to do in art class next time.
Thanks dude, I actually did that once
great talent and indomitable spirit, for the stolen pencil longs for the gentle touch of its rightful owner and will rebel against you

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
Number 2 is very relatable...but I think being able to draw on a toilet paper is something of a godly talent
I once saw my art teacher doodling on a piece of toilet paper with a ball point pen
Found a whole facking scenery
cant draw but i draft sketches of projects on the backs of papers i no longer use with a 2b pencil so there's that
i drew something on my undershirt... because i was out of paper
depends on the quality of the toilet paper, I've seen toilet paper that might as well be sand paper.
The toilet paper always tears halfway through my drawing :(
be able to draw with anything anywhere and making it look good is the real thing here. I once drew a portrait of my friend using a toothpick and molten chocolate as ink from his birthday cake on a napkin
Nice, that's a great talent 👏
@@yourlocaldrittenlover skill*
I love that their art styles reflect the deeper meanings here.
as an "artist" whose drawing skills are borderline acceptable, any type of drawing utensil works. even if your pencil is a stick from some park you found and your paper is the ground you're standing on, it's still art as long as you enjoy it
That's the spirit!
Remember: cave paintings are respected worldwide, yet they look like doodoo fart compared to today's artworks. No matter what you do, they'll be good
@nosh62 yeah, really depends on what you want. If you want fun, you just need what every is needed for fun. Sometimes you don't even need good tools if you're skills are good
Haha Jeff Bee-zos
Some of the most impressive art is the stuff you can draw on printer paper with a regular pencil in ten minutes. It's that point where you no longer see a drawing, instead there's a character you recognize on the page looking back at you.
I'm digital now, but when I draw traditional I was like a weird hobo combination of the 2. Different pencils of all kind, ink pens and colours but all cheap. Like i use disposable ink pens and if I run out of 0.5, I use a normal bic pen. I might share my marker selection with my three year old nephew, use abandoned A4/A3 printing paper from where I worked and keep a pencil until is like 1 cm long. The cool thing is that you slowly lose your sanity, thus you get more creative. Also learn weird techniques, like combining pen shading with colored pencils makes for a cool shading effect. Or using the fresh blood of your scraped index finger (got from using a pencil too short) as a cool distortion effect (don't do it, I was desperate.).
You know I’ve been contemplating for too long now about wether or not you were serious about that last bit.
@@GingeryGinger I'm still unsure but leaning towards serious. Totally plausible.
@@GingeryGinger I'll never tell
I usually use mechanical pencils to draw. That or my trashy erasable pens.
I used to use blood in my art, mainly when I didn't like the thing I was working on or I wanted to be extra chaotic. The only downside was that eventually, it would turn brown
I just use the pencil and colored pencils i got from school to draw and can actually shade with them very well as they’re cheap asf 😭
Am I allowed to be a mixture…? I have some pretty cool art supplies, but I always use the weirdest cheapest stuff around my house and end up with 10/10 results 😩😩😩

yea i only draw with pens. So im always stealing pens not that i mean to but sometimes i do.

I just kinda grab whatever makes the most sense to me in the moment
I'm just sketching for fun? Whatever pencil has lead
I want a fully colored drawing? If I want it to look nice, I'll break out the nice colors, but most of the time I'm just gonna grab the first medium I see
I’ve always liked mechanical pencils the most. It’s a lot easier to be precise with them than it is with a wooden one.
I feel the opposite. Mechanical pencils feel much less precise to me. They always seem to have a flatter tip than wooden pencils. Plus, thinner led sizes break so easily, so I have to use thicker, less precise led.
I'm a mechanical pencil fan since I draw TINY, but I've gotten some Blackwing Pearl wooden pencils recently, plus some random ones I found in old boxes, and having sharpened a random valentine's heart-print covered wooden pencil, I find I love it. But I also love my Pilot Dr. Grip shaker pencils and Mono Knock 3.8mm click eraser.
@@calebhessing7593 There are tricks to getting it to work better. "Priming" your lead by scribbling at an angle on scrap paper for a chisel top, making sure you keep the tip as short as possible, using better quality brands and not the $3 pack of 50 pencils...
But it also sounds like you haven't experienced the joy of a professional grade mechanical pencil. You actually have to use a sharper on them. The leads can be any grade you like and are generally very robust.
EDIT: typos
@@jomon324 Click erasers are just the best.
I actually completely agree!
My family keeps wanting me to use fancy pencils, but I really don't care. What about when I doodle in class? I don't wanna whip out a whole new pencil for that
Lol sounds a bit like me. I can buy a sketchbook and then use a standard paper from printer (usually with something printed on the other side) to sketch on it because "it's only a silly sketch" and it becomes a fine illustration so I I cut it out and paste it into the sketchbook but what a funny thing, I do it so often I don't really use the sketchbook to begin with. xd
@@lilywhitetouhou there’s a quote that might interest you, called chuang tzu’s “the archer’s need to win”. it basically says that when shooting for something with stakes, the archer in his need to win tenses up and is unable to loosen his muscles enough to direct the arrow properly.
My parents once gave me a whole art kit with all sorts of cool pencils and smudging tools and different kinds of erasers for christmas

First one results in higher quality, but the second one results in higher quantity.

@@TechnoCannonthecoolone you’re right, I’m calling you and everyone else out who does this. It’s time we get an eraser that’s not so easily worn out but is as effective as the one on the 2 year old mechanical pencil with the infinite supply of lead in it

This is relatable as an artist when you experience it, though i tried many different kind of coloring materials that suit my point of view as well as other utensils. When you feel like you're lacking something you just want to buy fashionable utensils that suits your art style because i noticed no matter what type of tools or materials you use doesn't actually mean it'll i'mprove your art, so basically start at beginning and go on slowly no need to rush you'll improve soon
I draw on anything i can get my hands on, plain paper, lined paper, grid paper, TABLES... the things i use to draw is the same, pencils, pens, crayon, marker, etc
I remember one time in high school a kid asked what kind of pencil I used to draw because he wanted to draw like me. And I literally used a cheap mechanical pencil that I found on the hallway floor. It doesn’t matter what assets you have, if you’re passionate enough, you can create incredible things.
I will say although good materials don't make up for a lack of knowledge and skill, they sure fucking help
Some of my best art has been with a stolen mechanical pencil. Drew a horrific creature with it. And I meant to burn it irl, and the picture is gone. I’m worried to this day, it knows.
@@Red_Steampunker that would actually make for a great horror short story
@@arrebarre so I found the picture, stumbled upon it. Noticed a new detail. I hate the image but damn is it good lol
Yeah, I come from a family of talented artists and it really is just how you use the tools that matters. You could buy an expensive thousand dollar set of pencils and end up making absolute garbage or just buy a cheap #2 and make some impressive work.
There are so many talented artists in this world that negate good materials that people forget that having good materials makes a *HUGE* difference when it comes to improvement. Whether you like it or not, having good materials will make you improve much faster. Heck, I've been stuck for a long ass time and couldn't improve my coloring skill because I only got cheap color pencils, but when I got my first prisma, I improved like I was in my puberty or something.
you're just bad at art then
It helps to have at least the basic working tools like a pencil, and some colors. It doesn’t have to be the top and best tools to improve your art. It’s good to have more options when you do need it and you feel comfortable with finding more options
@@lightvoid7089 My take on this topic is that you shouldn't obsess over your materials and believe that you'll get better just because you got a new toy. HOWEVER. What you very much so should be aware of is when you are being held back by your tools. When I was first learning how to draw I bought way too much into the "don't obsess over your tools" idea, and put up with way too many hindrances and annoyances as a result. When I finally upgraded my tools, it was instantly apparent how stupid I was for using such shoddy crap for so long.
Also worth saying that while you don't necessarily need to use many different tools to create good art, there's nothing wrong with exploring your tools. Like sure you could tighten a screw by hand, but a screwdriver goes a long way.
You don't really need top quality tools unless you're a top quality artist, but by god are the really cheap colored pencils a nightmare to use. I've had the displeasure of using one of those big cheap box sets that every little kid dreams about when i was an adult and let me tell you, i would have given up on art as a whole if i got my hands on it as a child. Absolutely USELESS.
There are good affordable supplies for traditional art, but there is a line, and going below it will make you feel like a faliure because you won't be able to do basic stuff. A little research, a few youtube vids of testing different brands should be enough to tell which are the good ones :)
People aren't buying cheaper things for fun. Not everyone can afford the expensive stuff.
Drawing in a school notebook is the best method
my fav pens are always random ones i picked up from the ground
I have got so many good art supplies from the floor. One was a beautiful paint pen worth around $6 for ONE... sucks to whoever lost it 🤷♀️

Yeah, I use the mechanical pencil I found on the floor at middle school
As someone who started drawing with my cheap school pencils on notebook paper and treasured any slice of copy paper I could get my hands on because it was blank white paper, honestly the materials matter much less than your talent. But it is nice to get good supplies whenever you can afford it. Think about it this way, if you're a good chef you can make anything work, if you're a good chef with good ingredients you can make amazing dishes.
That being said I can afford better paint but I still use cheap craft paint from Walmart LOL. I don't sell any of my art and most of it is just stuff I do for myself so I don't really need expensive stuff.
I draw digitally. But I don’t use clipping masks and erase the shit that goes over my lineart manually cause I think it’s fun : )
Same, aside from taking advantage of things like gaussian blur and the halftone feature in procreate, I largely just work exactly as I do with traditional work, does it take longer ? Yes
Are there better ways to draw digitally but I just won't learn them ? ...yes
Is it more satisfying when it feels as close to traditional as possible? Indeed it is at least for me
@@moritakaishida7963 same I have been only drawing digitally for the past few years so I got like over a decade of traditional art habits I can’t get rid of. The way I render art digitally is very much the same way I render when I paint cause I’m too lazy to learn an entire different style Lmao
Still need to draw more cause I’m not as good digitally as I am traditionally
wtf. okay that's just fucked.
The app I use doesn’t have clipping masks (I mean I could upgrade it for two bucks and get masks but why would I do that) so for shading layers I always duplicate the colouring layer, change it to my desired layer mode, and then apply the shading colours.
Black is invisible on Glow layers, white is invisible on Multiply, 50% grey is on Hard Light. Serves the same purpose as clipping masks nearly just as efficiently XD
The beauty of art is that you can use pretty much anything

studied art in college for two years, my favorite tools are still the random unbranded mechanical pencil ive had for 10 years, a random (to be fair, at least student grade) sketchbook, and an eraser i literally found on the ground near a bush during orientation. All my expensive supplies are packed neatly into a box somewhere, untouched after using them for the last time in class.
People underestimate the power of a mechanical pencil.
SAME
I found this pencil on a table in art class and it works so well I can literally feel the difference when I use other pencils. To others it just looks like an ordinary pencil, but its my idol.
i never realy used much more than a mechanical pencil either when drawing on physical support, i don't think having anything else is usefull when you mostly do rough sketches, best part is you are idk, waiting for your favorite e-sport bar to open in 2 hours and you don't know what to do, take 5 bucks, go to nearest store, and you get a notebook and a pencil, literally the cheapest thing around xD your 2 hours of waiting just turned into a shitload of sketch to transfer on your digital support for painfull hours a lining... and not get the line correctly... and ctrl Z... and lining again... and guess what, still not getting it xD

The fact that a digital art program such as Krita would cost my life savings if it was traditional art scares me.

@@taledrawer lmao I'm a digital artist and my entire kit only costs like 30 usd for just a drawing tablet lol and the application I use is medibang paint (free)
The fact that all anyone in the future will be able to afford is "traditional art" scares me. I'm happy I was able to get a wacom Cintiq when it was affordable. To all artists of the future, I pray for you. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not as good as a professional. You are, maybe even more so then people who drop thousands of dollars on there art. It's no secret that true art comes from a single person. So when you're watching a Disney animated film, with it a ridiculous budget and legions of college trained slaves, just remember that you will allways be just as good as them. You are even better then them when you actually enjoy what you do.
@Lillian henderson-Saunders I got a UGEE tablet, i think it was under 200$ when I got it. Also I have made some decent things on krita with a mouse, it all takes some practice.
Yea I'm over here drawing with a pencil and sticky notes. Wish fancy paper and copics were affordable because the art I've seen with copics look top tier
you mean to say the artist's skill is top tier
Well yes but I also meant by top tier is that traditional art done with good quality products can look nearly identical to digital art regardless of an artist skill even though that does also apply
@@randallmokjialung3592 I mean, it's all about skill, but good luck trying to paint a watercolor landscape with only a pencil.
Yeah copics are so pricey it’s hard to justify investing in more than just the grey tones
I'm over here using a pen and sticky notes (sticky notes gang!)
I get most of my basic ideas from my sticky note sketches, then I remake them later on my tablet because I hate sketching digitally lol. It just doesn't have the same feeling for me.
I am somewhere in between. I have a ton of art supplies, but it’s mostly stuff I’ve hoarded or picked up off of the ground one day and refuse to throw away. Almost none of the brands match, and at least half of them are dead or dying(either way, I’m still making them last ‘til I die myself-). I even keep all of it in a gallon Ziplock Bag that doesn’t close anymore and with a bunch of holes poked in it that I keep shoved in my mini backpack.
Artist affirmations:
Mechanical pencils and sketchbooks from hobby lobby are perfectly fine art tools. It's what I use. It's the artist that makes the art, not the tools. Also, copics are overpriced and ohuhu markers are just as good (if not better) for WAY cheaper
That's what I've heard. I plan on getting ohuhu markers at some point, cause they don't seem to discolour as bad as my current marker collection
I once saw a classmate(we were on the "visual arts" specialty of our school) draw a masterpiece with dots made with the cheapest pen on a disposable foamy cup that the drugstore owner gave to him when buying himself a coffee for literally a few coins of our local money.
That guy and the scrapbooking community here on youtube teached me that every trash you can find is literally an art material waiting to be discovered, lmao.
this is the way
I don't color traditionally very often, but when I do I genuinely love using Crayola crayons (as in the kind you give to kindergarteners). They don't smudge, come in near-infinite colors, and cost next to nothing!
I tend to find with those it’s hard to blend them or get them to a point where the wax doesn’t start flaking off unless I’m drawing suuuuper lightly. Which, I like bolder, darker colours, so it doesn’t really sit well with me, but they are fun (:
@@FedoraLloyd yeah they're definitely best for pastel colored artwork. Going in with shadow tones first on dark parts of the drawing can help slightly, but even dark crayons don't go on as dark as most other media.
eat them
I know it feels awfully stupid but I agree with you.
my main art supply is a blue ballpoint pen that probably belonged to my grade seven teacher.
"I got rickrolled by a toilet paper"💀💀

Team 2, I work with anything that can paint on a paper.
i like to use office materials. they’re made for efficiency, while also being cheap and simple. colorful ballpoint pens are a lot of fun and when you try and color your stuff in the style of a comic book they can add a lot of fun color pops. if you’re looking for bolder fills, i like to use crayola markers. they’re cheap, easy to use, washable, and dynamic. my go-to for paper has always been postit notes. it’s great for artists who come up with ideas at random because you can carry a pad of them in your jean pocket, quickly sketch something, then discard it if it doesn’t turn out right. i also have a lot of fun using them as final canvases because their size means i can finish a piece before i have time to second guess, and i have fun playing with different colored backgrounds for my art. in terms of pencils i like the uniformity and reliability of the bic mechanical pencil, as well as how fine the tip is. it’s always really intriguing to me how people in the art world react to my material choices with awe or envy, or misperceive me as being a monastic snob who thinks “true talent doesn’t need to hide behind fancy materials”, because the whole reason i use these is because i have clinical dysgraphia and grew up believing that for me to use supplies that cost a lot of money was just inherently wasteful, and it would be more conscientious of me to outlet my pent up creativity on everyone else’s scraps. and the reason i do so well with these is because I’m a stylized cartoonist, not a realistic or high-render artist, and because of my material choices i’ll probably never make large improvements in those areas. i will say though that one definite advantage of being a supply omnivore is that you not only spend less money, you also become very adaptable and able to roll with the stuff that your surroundings have on hand.
Tbh ball pen is literally my favourite art supply. Neither anything else in traditional nor in digital can beat the flexibility and a range of lines ball pen can do.
Oh and I DO mean for shading and rendering!
i love drawing on "ruled index cards" (practically blank flash cards), which seem to be like 1 to 10 USD for most packs. i just took them from my house's little shelf once and stuffed them in my desk drawer.
Tbh, ball point pens are cheap but so useful, specially for sketching, nothing beats a ballpoint pen when it comes to sketching
I use postit notes too!
My family, very supporting of my art, has gotten me plenty of different fancy-sounding art supplies over the years. I still draw primarily just with one set of those .5 .10 whatever markers and a Happy Easter pencil. My eraser is shaped like a ninja.
Very cool eraser.

My primary tool for making most of my art is the plain blue ballpoint pen, occasionally I use color pen set for cca 1.25 dollars. Occasionally I use pencil at school because cetrain teachers want us to.
this is so fucking real. i draw with random mechanical pencils and printer paper.
as someone who often loses their pencils, I have gotten very good at scavenging other people's lost pencils from classrooms. it's very efficient. I actually found a really nice pen that's good for lineart. and it's completely free.
This is how I got my eraser too ayyyyy
@@aileenzhao7951 same lol
this is where my stuff is goin huh
@1234 Abcd ?
I take pens, erasers and pencils from the floor of my classroom for free
Bro literally drew a GIF, he's unstoppable
I'm literally the second one, I have one completely and utterly disfigured and chewed on pencil which is my to go pencil like ALWAYS
I expressed some interest in drawing when i was little. My family almost exclusively gave me art supplies as gifts for years until i had to tell them to stop because i only draw stuff maybe 2 times a year and i do it digitally. I had way too many pens and note pads i never used. 😂
I have this friend who isn't really poor and is capable of buying expensive art mats. He really just like creating his own art materials to sketch and color. I've seen him break a literall charcoal once and mix it with something. I've seen him use flowers as a replacement for watercolor.
I had a friend who once bragged about doing art with a fancy pencil that you could shake to get the tip to come out more. Now, years later, I own one of those pencils because I found it in the floor of the college lecture hall :)
1 is me when it comes to school assignments for art, 2nd is me for personal art
The best part about this is that my favourite drawing pencil is one I found on the floor during my a level literature class
I'm like a weird mix of the two. I have some Prismacolors, Copic markers, high end ink pens....but I almost exclusively sketch out/doodle everything with a cheap, dollar store mechanical pencil on these (also cheap) sketchbooks from my local Hobby Lobby.
Edited for clarity.
Atleast your nearby a hobby lobby
Cheap mechanical pencil
That's a waste of money, I can't even afford prismacolors :/
@@Not_Kaitlyn Me neither, I had to steal mine
@@Not_Kaitlyn Well, the Prismacolors were a birthday gift...
And, seeing as it's my own personal income and no one else's, I don't think buying one replacement Copic marker every few months or a higher quality, not-from-the-dollar-store pen once and a while is a waste.
Honestly, since I grew up rather, well, poor to be frank, as an adult I take joy in actually being able to spend more than three dollars on art supplies now and again.
(If anything I've said sounds rude or overly sarcastic I sincerely didn't intend for it to sound so and just wished to state a simple reply.)
I always like when people draw with unconventional tools. As a kid, I would draw on the walls of our house with leaves (and flowers for color variation). I would rub them on the concrete wall and they’d leave stains. I also drew on restaurant tissue papers, on school properties and text books (vandalism ik but I didn’t know better and I didn’t get caught anyways 🤭) I find the idea of leaving a part of yourself behind to let others find and know you’ve been there fascinating and fun.
Yeaah... I don't know if the idea of leaving a part of yourself would excuse vandalism, but you do you I guess.
Yeah, this is me i stole someone marker when drawing
do I have a more "professional" drawing utensils that I can 100% use if I want? yes.
would I rather use the cheapest kind of pen on a piece of paper that I found on the floor? also yes.
The best drawings I had ever done in my life were back in high school using lined paper torn out of a notebook or a page ripped from a dollar store sketchbook, and using literally a mechanical pencil.
I once even taped two sheets together because I needed more space on the bottom due to how big I made the character. That one’s folded in half inside of the binder I put it in alongside the rest.
To be fair, though, you probably should use proper drawing pencils, especially if you’re planning on shading your drawings. I did one where I pressed so hard into the page for those darker tones, the whole thing glows like holographic trading card when you hold it up to the light.
These days, I’m rocking a sketchbook and a basic kit of artist tools - a few graphite pencils, a couple charcoal pencils (unused), a sharpener, and vinyl / kneaded erasers - both from Five & Below. I also found a 12-count set of 2H - 12B pencils at Hobby Lobby that I got for about $10 as part of a 40% off sale. (Those ones draw a lot smoother than the ones from the kit.)
I once found an amazing 5B pencil at my school, it was used for all of my portraits since I found it. when it got kinda used up I bought a pack of them. you really find the best tools at random places lmao
And the ones who draw on toilet paper make the sickest art
I have some of the supplies seen in the first kind, but I specifically do traditional art by sketching with a 10H pencil, erasing with either a smooth normal eraser, or a kneadable one, coloring with some well stored oil pencils and a small set of prismacolor premier soft ones, outlining with either some random led pencil or a black ballpoint pen, and drawing on a ripped cover for a large hardcover book with some paper stolen from where my house's two printers sit.
Imo, the best artists are the resourceful ones who use what they have at hand
I've always wanted an excuse to use all the fancy, situational pencils, to the point where I have a pack or two at home. But I honestly just don't have the skill for it, so good ol' school pencil works for now.
Mechanical pencil on binder paper is my JAM
Yes, it do be like that. All you need is a basic pencil you can use for everything from writing your notes to drawing up to doorstopper and a dream and everything is possible
as an artist that draws with one lone pencil i found under a sofa on the back of used notebooks, i can relate
I reached a point where i have all kinds of traditional materials and i am relearning drawing in general from the start, though i have been drawing for i dunno how many years, like 5-10. And at this moment i more wish to be the last guy and trying to be. I now just try to use whatever materials i have nearby, experimenting, like trying highlighter markers with color pencils. The idea, mainly, is just to draw, and if your perfectionism stoping you from so, fight it by doing quantity over quality sketches. And by making deliberate ugly,or extra quick drawings.
i recommend post-it notes for this purpose! they helped me a lot because they were so small, i would finish a piece before i had time to second guess it to bits
number 2 is so relatable, I sometimes use a ball point pen to draw on toilet paper whenever a sketchbook finishes
as a traditional artist who strictly uses pencil on a normal priced average sketchbook this is accurate
for clarification i only draw with a pencil set, a tombow mechanical shaker pencil, and school supplies (basic hb pencil that I sharpened for shading, a normal eraser and a normal pencil sharpener)
my favourite drawing tool is that multicolour ballpoint pen that every kid tries to push all colours at once
No importa que tan bueno y conocido seas, todos dibujamos en hojas de oficio con un lápiz escolar
for me personally, i just use whatever I can find tbh
but most days that means using a notebook i got in 3rd grade with about 26 torn/scribbled pages and a no.2 school pencil that looks like it got mauled by a dog
This has been in my recommended for 11 months
