Hello everyone, Kitslam here and welcome back to another video. Today I'm introducing a new series idea here for the channel called Five Creative Ways to Draw and then insert your favorite characters. I'm starting it off with Venom because of the Marvel theatrical release which came out on Friday. I'm curious to know, did you guys see the movie? I bet you it was fantastic. This is the first one in the series and the first drawing that you're watching is the One Hour Drawing Challenge which I did last Sunday for the live stream. And how to turn it on. This is the first time I've tried the One Hour Drawing Challenge and I would absolutely encourage you, anyone and everyone to try this. It really sort of puts a little bit of pressure on you but not too much because you have a full hour to finish the drawing and it forces you to follow and trust your artistic instincts. The second way I chose to draw Venom was a live stream on Instagram called the One Line Drawing Challenge which I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen before so using One Line exclusively here to draw Venom and this is also a movie poster that I was using as a reference photo and I absolutely love the One Line Drawing Challenge. I've actually done a lot of those over on Instagram so if you guys aren't following me there I will leave a link down in the description box so you guys can find my Instagram account. I'm active there throughout the week, posting stories and all of that fun stuff. So there you go, this is the One Line Drawing Challenge of Venom. The third way that I chose to draw Venom you'll see here in just a second was the Salt Drawing of Venom and I really enjoy the Salt Drawings. It's sort of an interesting and unconventional medium that you don't see a lot of artists using so it's a great challenge and it's sort of chaotic in a little way which I thought complemented Venom because of the little salt pieces they tend to bounce around and stuff so I use this little paper piece cardstock to just sort of collect it and group it into the teeth like you can see there and yeah this is part of an ongoing series of salty superheroes that I've done on the channel like Batman, Superman, Black Panther, the Flash, who else? The Avengers logo, the Incredibles and a bunch of others. So yeah, Love Drawing Result. I do have intentions maybe one day of trying to do some real estate portraits, maybe a Rubik's Cube in there, you know? So the world is our oyster but I really enjoy drawing a salt and if you guys are up for it I'd be interested to see your own Salt Drawings. You guys can always send any artwork of yours to my Instagram account by just private messaging there. I always check it and I've got a lot of you guys sending some of that artwork. It's amazing. Thank you for that. I'd love to see your work. The fourth way is an M&M Mosaic which is also part of an ongoing series. A lot of cartoon characters, tons of Nintendo characters, some Pokemon, all of that fun stuff, all drawn with those tiny chocolate little pieces, hundreds of them and yeah so I really enjoy working on those and it's kind of cute right and the fifth way you'll see here in a minute is a two-handed drawing challenge that I did on the whiteboard. I've been exploring ambidextrality for a number of years and it's just a ton of fun. It just kind of exercises both sides of the brain and and there's low pressure because it's such a hard challenge but tons of fun. So again I would encourage you guys to try that. Overall I enjoyed making this video for you guys. I haven't tried anything like this before. I am doing this narration just to set up the tone for the entire series and I'll be looking for more character suggestions in the future. So if you have future characters like if you'd like to see Carnage or Hulk or any cartoon characters at all, video game characters drop those down in the comments section and I'll meet you there and I'll choose one of those for the next one here. So there you go I'll let the music play and I'll meet you guys in a few seconds. I'll show you close up what each of these pieces turned out and looked like. Okay. Well guys what do you think? How did they turn out? I'm curious to know which was your favorite of the five so I'm gonna leave a card up above. Go ahead and vote and I'll check it out. See what you guys thought of the video and which was your favorite. This is probably one of my favorites I would have to say the two-hand to draw in here of Venom. So I'll just zoom in a little bit so you guys can see that. I really enjoy working on the challenge of Ambedec's Darity. That's something I've been sort of pursuing for a few years now and if you have questions as to you know having some tips on how to draw with two hands go ahead and leave comments for me. I'd be glad to answer those and this had a lot of symmetry so it made a little bit easier but of course it gets really challenging right because your hands are moving into two different directions. So that's the two-hand drawing there of Venom and underneath that on another white board I just placed this black paper on top. This is the salt drawing of Venom and this again is part of an ongoing series. I will eventually release a collection video of that up all of these salt drawings. So this is very fragile. I think it did shift a little bit and then it causes the grains of salt to sort of you know move because this is absolute chaotic artwork at its finest right here. So what I want to do though guys is share the other three ways show those up close and I'm gonna grab the camera to do so because they're on the other side of the studio here. So there you go that was the Venom salt drawing but I actually wanted to thank you guys because I'm getting close to 5,000 subscribers which is an epic milestone. I'm so happy about that. So these are Rubus cubes here guys and I have been a cuber for quite a long time. Just as long as I've been doing art almost we have 4,968 subscribers. Actually I think it just went up to 69 today so that's amazing. Hopefully we'll keep that number increasing into the future and see that bump up maybe 10,000, 100,000 that'd be incredible. Anyways the guys I do the live streams on both of these platforms Instagram and YouTube. So this over here is the one line drawing of Venom. This is one of my favorite drawing challenges for sure and I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve. I think I've got a couple of ways to make this drawing challenge a little bit more unique and creative yet but I just have intentions of doing more one line drawings and you can see here I've done a lot of work with you guys on Instagram. This is actually the second Instagram sketchbook that we've gone through here and I did a live stream just last night with you guys on Instagram. So and the second let's see this is my YouTube live stream sketchbook. These are all live streams in both of these sketchbooks. So here you got the one hour drawing of Venom. This drawing like surprised me. I wasn't really sure what to expect. I wasn't sure if I could crudge out a sort of semi realistic drawing of Venom in one hour. So this was really fun and I have intentions of doing more of those with you guys but you can see we've done a lot of scribble drawings and stuff like that. So the live streams typically are on Sundays which is today but I really wanted to get this Venom video out and I'll do a live stream either later this evening or tomorrow because it's actually Thanksgiving here in Canada. So I have tomorrow off and so I'll probably consider doing a live stream tomorrow. But anyway here we got the food corner and this is the M&Mosaic. Here you can see if I zoom in and there's hundreds of little pieces here and I've got a lot of different M&Ms. Let's see here's my blue and some purples right up there. So I got tons of different colors and I want to do eventually some larger ones but if you guys have character suggestions that you'd like to see so that I can add it to the on growing collection I'd be very very much thankful and grateful for that. There you go that are the five different ways that I chose to draw Venom. I hope you guys appreciated that. This is something new that I'm trying on the channel. I think I'll continue the series so I'm looking forward to your character suggestions down below and if you guys have any creative ways that you've drawn Venom whether it be very simple or realistic I would love to see it go ahead and send it to my Instagram accounts. It's easy to find if you just type in at Kitslam. So there you go I'm hoping to do maybe a community based video in the future where I collect all of your artwork and I can share what you guys are doing. So there you go this is part of a community we're almost at 5,000 subscribers which is amazing. I'm so happy about that and I think that's about it. I do sell art prints those are available I'll leave a link down below subscribe and please consider sharing this video that would be amazing. That's it my name is Kitslam and I'll see you guys in the next one.
