Bunnings Herbs Printable to Colour - Craft Found 34

hi i'm amy and this is an hour and a, half live color along that i did, for the release of the green which is, herbal, coloring book of shadows book, it was really really fun but i was a, little nervous at the beginning and i am, doing this live so i may sound like i'm, talking to people who aren't there or, randomly asking questions or answering, questions, uh or trailing off, but it was really fun and everyone who, colored along did an amazing job and you, will too so you can follow along if, you're new to coloring i sort of give a, crash course into the entire process of, coloring a page from start to finish so, i hope you enjoy it thanks for watching, hi joy and sefi and erica and everybody, um it's really exciting this is going to, be really fun i'm really looking forward, to it, so we're going to be coloring a page, from the green which is herbal, and i did post this for free on, coloringbookofshadows.com, um, if you go to the blog it'll be the first, post if you haven't grabbed the free, download yet it's there, if you have your book that's awesome too, it's uh the green which is herbal by, me amy cesary, hi mallory, and crystal and darlene hi everybody, okay my disclaimer is, of course you can color this however you, want you don't have to follow my colors, or my example i don't want to stifle, your creativity this is not at all what, this is about but i'm just going to show, you my example and then you take it, whatever direction you want, i found a page from a medieval herbal, that i is famous that i really loved and, i wanted to kind of use that as, inspiration i use the crayola for demos, a lot because i find people get hung up, as soon as like i say oh i have this, brand of pencils that you know cost 150, or whatever, people write themselves out and say oh i, i don't have those pencils i could never, make it look that good but that is false, you don't need expensive pencils to make, it look good so i like to demo in, crayola you can get a hundred of them, for 20 bucks, so this, is, this is sort of my inspiration page that, i thought was just so so so beautiful, this is um, i don't know how to say it exactly right, but it's a peleus platonicus herbarium, ashmole, 1462. it's a very famous old-school, herbal and i just love the colors and i, love the look of the parchment and just, the red and the blue and then the the, plants and the green so, um i thought that that would be really, really fun it's just such a cool book, uh so beautiful, so beautiful, so that's sort of, sort of where we're going with it, and i invite you to, to warm up like i'm holding my pencil at, the side, rub it against the page and like, don't even get any color on the page, like really practice a light touch and, then you can kind of start, press a little bit harder, a little bit harder and that's how, you'll get really smooth, blending and some the more subtle colors, and then if i'm doing full pressure like, i'm writing my name or something, you can see that's totally a different, look with the same pencil, so just to warm up i would i would, practice getting zero, color on the page it's just a nice way, to remind yourself that you can go from, zero to a hundred with one pencil okay, so with that in mind, let's go from zero to 100 with one, pencil, so i'm just real just getting warmed up, by really lightly, i'm gonna try to stay on camera here too, it's easy to get lost in the moment and, come off the camera, um, so yeah i'm very lightly pressing this, is just tan, any kind of light brown or tan if you're, if you're going along with me if you've, already picked, purple or, yellow or whatever pink, go for it, you do you, so first i'm just very very lightly, side of the pencil, almost like a nice scribbly feel and i, like to do the backgrounds first because, they're pretty loose and it gives me, like a nice way to warm up, and i'm gonna go kind of fast just so we, can get it done, so if you don't go this fast or you want, to take more time that's totally fine, just you can rewind it and i'll post the, replay or whatever, but that said um, trust your hands like you can probably, go pretty fast especially when you do, this light side technique, trust your hands that you'll hit the, right spots and you won't really go over, the edge and then if you do go over the, edge and you don't have to fix it but if, you want to like a white eraser if you, haven't pressed too hard a white eraser, will totally erase your colored pencil, but i like to go fast just because i, like to sort of i don't know it just, feels good, and then oh just a couple other points i, have a piece of paper underneath the, paper i'm coloring not for bleed through, but just because um, just the pencil pressure it kind of, protects the page underneath, so that's a good thing to remember and, then if you're left-handed like me, i guess or if you're right-handed but, lefties kind of smudge a lot if you're, left-handed you can put another piece of, paper under your hand especially if, you're using darker colors if you find, your hand is kind of smudging, you can just put another piece of paper, under your hand there, so, just very lightly, and then when you look at an aged, parchment like this, they're not the paper isn't even you, don't, need it to be even you want texture um, that's what makes it look so rich so you, don't the pressure's off, yay learning oh my god learning is your, name pronounced learning and you're a, lefty i was just gonna say that's like, the cutest name, um i don't think i've ever heard the, name learning before and i think it's, just cute because it reminds me of, learning, which i enjoy, anyway that's just very cute yay lefties, i know we're a rare breed, um so yeah just a very light, doesn't have to be too even see when if, you if you press kind of harder at the, edge you start to get that nice, kind of a nice gradient, of dark to light, and if you have a couple streaks, um or places that are uneven that just, sort of adds to, the rich look of your, parchment effect so now i'm pressing, still using the side of the pencil but, i'm pressing harder on the edge, so you can see that nice, gradient it's even just using one oh, shawna you're a lefty too, and melissa that's awesome i didn't know, you were a lefty shawna um, and yeah so even just with one pencil, here you can see some some nice, differences just by using different, pencil pressure, so pencil pressure is your friend i, would say that's the number one trick, that, it's not even a trick but it's just a, way to use the pencil that people don't, know because you're so used to holding, it like for writing and pressing with a, full force, but so yeah if you've been having, issues with, shading or blending try this really, light touch i bet it will really help, but yeah even on the side of the pencil, and pressing a little harder and then, you get you'll start to get that nice, gradient, okay, and then i'm going to darken this up, with other colors so the middle one i'm, going to do in red the middle two i'm, going to do in red but these ones i'm, going to do, in the tan, so i'm just going to do this really, quick, see how like, i'm going really quick on this big, section, and you're still getting a good look it, adds a little texture it covers, everything, and that's my style i like i like a more, loose sketchy style if you want to make, it perfectly smooth and that's your, style that's totally cool too, but it's an invitation to not be perfect, because these old, medieval manuscripts like the way the, part of the reason why they're so, beautiful is they're not, perfect um, they're, weathered they're, i don't know they show the age and just, that texture is just i think it's really, really beautiful like this, am i still on this there we are, this sort of look over here, there, um you have cracker crumbs, if you have cracker crumbs underneath, your pet paper yeah you're going to get, dots or erasers or anything, so you want to like, put it and the dots will actually just, add text we'll add um, julia the dots are going to be awesome, see like how this one has like dots, underneath it that's going to work in, your favor so if you've got cracker, crumbs under there that are adding, texture for you then you have a happy, little accident as, bob ross would have called it, okay so i'm just quickly, going over this do i ever use a blending, pencil darlene you know what i have and, i was totally obsessed with them for a, while, like i wouldn't color without them and, then, i fell out of the habit and like i, rarely use them, but they're really awesome, they work, better for prismacolor premieres, i don't think crayolas blend that well, with the, blender pencil but if you like a blender, pencil they really do work, and they're they're a nice tool to have, it's like basically like a clear pencil, so then for these little tiny sections, i'm going a tiny bit slower, just like to outline but you can still, see i'm going pretty fast, i don't you can do like outline like an, outline but i don't i just kind of let, my pencil fly around the beach, and then i trust my hand, um i like them darlene they really do, work they really are they really are, nice and sometimes that's people's style, to color really smooth, so you know if you like a blender pencil, you can definitely use it, okay by just going quickly here, you use them with krill and you find it, works good, yeah, definitely try it if you want like a, smoother look or if you want to blend, things together, not that i don't like them because i, really did i don't know why i fell out, of favor with them but but now i think i, couldn't find mine for a while, maybe that had something to do with it, they were lost in my art stash okay, so you can see i kind of like went, different directions i have a little bit, of texture there that's cool that'll, work in our favor, if you if you like to go all one, direction or do little circles to avoid, those kind of things that's totally cool, too, it's just up to you, okay, okay we'll do a little bit more so i'm, only been using tan so far in this, crease i'm just going to go ahead and, darken it up, with the side of the pencil, just to leave that, make it kind of dark, yeah so so far i've only used um, are they getting hard to find yeah, prismacolor premiere is like a wax, that's the one the brand i have but i, think there are some other brands okay, so i've only used one pencil so far, and you can see some some nice color, variation, this is tan but any any light brown, would get you a similar look, or, like you could do this with green you, could do this with any color you have, so then i'll add just a little bit to, these inside of these boxes, i'm still holding the side of the pencil, and, it might just be my personal preference, but like i hold it pretty far from the, tip, pressing a little harder just to get, some variation there, then i probably need to, slow down a little bit in this section, just to get around the letters, but if you do have to shift your hand to, go like a more upright pencil be super, careful because uh just that upright, pencil is going to give you a lot darker, coloring, so if you're going to hold it upright, you need to be, very very gentle with it if you're still, looking for a softer, stroke, so just a little bit in these letters, okay, and if you're more precise and take more, time and that feels good to you then, definitely do that, i'm going a little faster just to try to, get this whole page done within like i, don't know an hour or 90 minutes or, something but, you can take all the time you want, okay so that's good for that one, you have a, you have a trigger finger, at the moment and it's holding it like, this helps yes i know i think you know i, think sometimes just because we're used, to holding pens that way when we write, and we use, when you're writing you use full, pressure i think just holding it a, different way, helps to remind you to, to hold it like to that you're doing, something a little bit different you're, doing, coloring not writing, which is similar but different, and there's times when you do want to, hold your you know colored pencil like, this and do full pressure, but when you're shading a background, just to start, you want to use a little bit less, i'm pressing pretty hard here around the, edge just to get this, some contrast going here, and then did you know you can eat basil, to counteract the fear of growth change, and the unknown, that's honestly one of my biggest fears, like, once i step into the unknown like even, if there's things you want or you want, to change or grow it can be really scary, i don't know why, um i think it's like kind of wired in us, instinctually, to go towards what's known even though, like the magic in the adventure, and like the things we want are, on the other side of the unknown so, basil, everyone's going to be like chomping, basil after, this oh did you hurt your you've been, weak since you can hold the pencil i, think you were, some yeah some of you yeah no i will, susan i'll repost this um yeah if you, have, a hand injury or arthritis or carpal, tunnel or something or your hand hurts, loosen that grip and hold it sideways, because you really don't have to put the, pressure in your hand, um to get nice coloring yeah out of the, comfort zone i know it's crazy okay, so now we've got a nice base with the, tan, and i could keep going but i'm gonna, let's see what time is it oh my gosh, it's already 9 24 okay, or whatever 24., it's already 24 o'clock, okay so now i've got my second pencil, i'll just keep going i'm enjoying this, so, we'll just color this up right today, since it's a special event so now i've, got my brown, light brown, and i'm just kind of going over what we, already did, but just adding even more shadow to it, maybe i'll stop talking, as much and then we can, color, you know a lot of times i'm not that, chatty but, today is a different story, my best friend sent me this, video it's called mario and zelda big, band live so i'm a huge nintendo fan, if you don't know now you do, um and my best friend, feels the same way she knows she knows, how much it means to me and there's, there was a live concert of a big band, playing mario and zelda songs, about 10 years ago i didn't know about, it but i just heard the cd or the, recording on youtube and um, it's just i don't know there's one track, from yoshi's island, that they did with like a fiddle lead, that's just, it brought me to tears, i don't know if anyone else is a, nintendo fan that is brought to tears by, nintendo, things, raise your hand, um, i don't know why it means so much to me, but it really does i guess it's just, been a big part of my life, and it's the full moon energy, i think so too yeah sometimes like you, can be thrown off by the full moon or, sometimes you're like in sync with it, i'm like i'm like, in sync with it right now i guess i'm, stoked, okay, enough gabbing about nintendo, so let's add i'll leave the background, alone for a minute um the backgrounds, are the things you can just keep going, with but what i want to show you is like, yay shawna likes nintendo too so in my, in my example here of the aged parchment, and the medieval herbal, you can just keep going so there's like, little dots, you can like, do this, you can add yourself little dots you can, start, scribbling, so like you see how some of these, there's like little scribbles there's, patches that are darker, just let your hand kind of, start making details for you like i'm, just literally scribbling on the page, here, pressing harder pressing lighter i think, that's um when you're doing this kind of, detail that's a good thing to remember, is keep a light keep varying it like, lighter harder light or harder and then, that's how you'll, get it from looking too streaky and, that's how you start to blend in the, edges too because i'm, kind of varying my pressure i'm adding, some dark spots, but not being precise at all, i'm just i'm not even like looking with, my eyes really i'm just sort of like, letting my hand go and letting my pencil, go, and that feels really good, hi candy, if you're ever in felton california you, gotta go to mountain spirit, it's my friends, mostly, crystals and rocks but she has all kinds, of really cool spiritual things oh she, has a she has an online shop too um but, if you're ever in felton california, you should go to the actual store, because it's, amazing, okay, so yeah so don't be afraid to add some, dark bits, cool i think that actually looks really, good and i just roughed it up, you know with a one more darker pencil, all i used was tan and light brown here, i have one more darker shade of brown, that i haven't even used yet, so you could do that and see i got a, streak in the middle there that's cool, that adds life to it, some darker spots, and then you can you can really see like, sort of a parchment look come together, uh watercolor pencils are another great, way to do that, nelly mellie martinelli if you're in my, coloring common group you've probably, seen mellie's works she does a beautiful, parchment effect with watercolor pencils, okay so now i've switched to harvest, gold which is just sort of a goldish, brown, now i'm i'm still using this side of the, pencil but i'm doing a pretty firm, pressure here, just because i'm going to do these, really quick, these little, borders, i'm going outside the lines if you, haven't noticed, um but it's totally fine, it's up to you some people like to go, real slow with this and that's fine too, if that's, meditative for you, to be slow and precise and that's cool, me, i don't know i think to me it's nice to, just be loose it's very freeing, and it allows me not to think and just, to kind of feel the page, oh the name and the author of the book, i'm using for inspiration okay so that, the, the book that this is the, this is the illustrated herbal, by wilfred blunt and sandra raphael, which is an out-of-print book that's, just all about illustrated herbals but, the book book that they're writing about, in the book, is the, it's the appellate platonicus herbarium, ashmole 1462., and that's the one there on the left of, the man stabbing a serpent, with a vervain very cool, very freaking cool so i hope that, answers your question it's a book about, books, you know you're a nerd when you buy a, book about books, um, who's with me, yes we'll talk medieval herbals we'll, talk nintendo, welcome to my world, we like what we like, cool okay this is coming along nice, you joy you buy books about books or you, like nintendo, books about books, there's something to it, ah, both yay, okay so i'm just coloring these pretty, dark pretty quickly, and then you can just get like a brown, or, you don't i mean okay well i'll just do, this for fun, so now i have the brown i did that in, harvest gold and then just to make those, stand out a little bit more you can get, brown, and without being too even, especially in like the corners and the, shadowy bits you can kind of darken, those up just to give them more contrast, from the background, and then to to blend colors you'd press, harder on one side and then back to like, where you're barely touching the paper, to blend it in, so like i'm pressing hard in that corner, and then i'm lightening my grip, and barely pressing to blend it into the, other color, and then if you leave white a little bit, of white of the paper showing through, that's cool too that'll show you, that'll give a highlight contrast, and you can see i added darkness to like, those corners and that bottom but i, didn't keep it very even i really kind, of, kept it, asymmetrical um even is good, sometimes but sometimes you want to kind, of let your eye float around more and be, uneven, just a matter of taste, but so, the gold harvest gold plus a little bit, of brown is really giving those boxes, sort of a nice rich look, i think so anyway, hi vicky oh you forgot to set your alarm, doesn't look like you're out of the, lines yeah that's the thing like you, don't have to be too precise it still, looks really cool, um you can join us now vicky, and then you can you can you can watch, later too i'll post a replay, and you can do this in the opposite, order if you're just joining now and you, want to start um with the the squares, that we're going to do next, that's totally cool, so i'm just darkening some of these, borders with brown, on top of the gold, i think that's looking really nice, and i'm having fun, which is what really matters here, cool, so you could keep going and i could, definitely keep going but i'm gonna just, for the sake of time i'm gonna just, leave that there and sometimes i like to, just leave it there and then you can, always go back that's the coolest thing, about pencil is you can just keep, layering it, um, oh yes i'm still alive hi vicky, um yes fun is like the most important, part i think, i know life is serious and sometimes, serious things happen but, we gotta have fun too okay so i've got, red and red orange you could just use, one or the other, i thought that this in this manuscript, it was kind of reddish orange and of, course it's probably you know this is, i can't do math in my head hundreds of, years old we'll just say 500 600 years, old so it's probably faded or who knows, what the original color is but to kind, of to kind of um, replicate that, i'm going to just start with the, red orange, same ish technique i'm not pressing, super hard yet, little circles, or straight up and down depending on the, area, just sort of letting my hand lead the, way, that's a pretty light, orange red or whatever red orange i'm, probably going to just darken this with, probably could have just started with, the regular red red, and probably would have gotten a darker, look but that's okay, adding a little variation for, is fun too, are crayolas soft or scratchy i would, say they're a little bit more scratchy, they're not super soft, prismacolor premier um i think artisas, are pretty soft castle arts the oil, based ones are really soft like um, faber castel polychromos the ones that i, have are very very soft, that's just personal preference too of, course sometimes i like the scratchy, because the sound, especially, like when i'm not blabbering away, the sound of it is so soothing to me, i forgot that what that's called there's, a letter abbreviation for it, i'm going to say the wrong one if i say, it so, but that sound of like those nice, soothing, softly scratchy sounds, amr or something like that asmr yeah, that's it, i accidentally called it, bdsm, once which is not it but it was the, first four letters that came to my mind, so, we have children watching that means, something else, um okay, yeah asmr is cool i think a lot of those, i mean that's personal preference too, which sounds sound good to you, like a lot of scratchy noises don't, sound good but pencil scratching i don't, know to me it's really nice, when you're like sitting in silence that, might be my favorite part of coloring, like, sitting in silence just having the, pencil, scratch and, watching color come out the end of it, onto the page is really satisfying to me, okay so now i'm pressing i've got a good, base layer there, if you have a blending pencil and you, want to get that really really smooth, like a paint look, then that would be a good place to use a, blending pencil and not leave texture, but that's totally up to your preference, and style now i'm pressing a little bit, harder, so the original the original manuscript, hi christy louise cullen, i always wonder if you're a real cullen, or if you're, a twilight fan, i have like the weirdest thought, sometimes okay, um either way is cool if your name is, really cullen that's extra cool if, you're a twilight fan that's cool too, okay so see in the original manuscript, it's a very solid red there isn't a lot, of gradient there or, different they kind of colored it really, really solid with a paint but i'm gonna, just sort of, i might leave a little more, differentiation there just for fun, okay so i'm still using the red orange, here, now i'm pressing a little bit harder, just to smooth out and darken the edges, but i'm still using the side of my, pencil, make it nice and, kind of colored in around all the take a, little more time around the leaves here, now i'm going more pressure, to try to add more color, get like a richer color down, cool that actually looks pretty good, i've left a little bit of white like a, little bit of difference like the edges, are a little darker than the center, if you want to color it all very very, smooth of course go for that, then i'm going to get my red just for, fun and sort of, color over all the stuff i've already, colored just to add, some darkness to the to the edges, and it a little bit, a richness when you blend two colors, like that it just kind of adds a, richness to it instead of being as flat, and again it's just personal style, either way is cool, okay, i think that's pretty cool for now you, at least get the idea, um, if i were to, spend a lot more time which i could go, back, and spend a lot more time darkening this, i might darken this even more make it, richer make it more solid but for now, i'm just going to leave it like that and, then we can move on oh it's so hard as, soon as i say that i like pick up the, pencil again, okay, but we'll leave it alone for now we can, always come back, okay, okay, all right leafs, let's color the basil, so i have, i have yellow green forest green and, asparagus so it's basically like a light, green a mid green and a dark green, and i thought these were basily but of, course it depends what type of basil, you're talking about here, but to me those looked, basily oh and before i forget, i like to put a glow around the candle, and just kind of mark where the light's, gonna be so i have a yellow pencil just, for that and i'm gonna like scribble, here, just so when i go, to do that section i won't forget that, there's some light there, but i very lightly, scribbled in some light, okay, all right so leaves you can totally, color them flat with just one color, um see you joy bye, um, yeah so i like to just you can totally, color leaves just one color and make, them flat i like to add some contrast, and some variation if you go in nature, and you look at a leaf it probably has a, couple different colors and especially, if there's shadows on it it's probably, not 100 flat, there's probably some difference so i've, got my yellow green here just my, lightest color, and just going in as a base, i'm just very lightly, coloring green, all over it, green all over, that silly joke, okay i won't tell you this silly joke it, doesn't make any sense just where my, mind goes, okay fine i'll tell you, because i said green all over you know, what's black and white and red all over, a newspaper, i thought that was really funny when i, was like four, so i'm gonna blend this stem to brown, but i'm starting with green just as the, base and you can see i kind of left a, lot of white i really wasn't too too, precious with this, just kind of getting it started, and you can always go back and deepen it, later, okay, so that was my first green the light gr, the yellow green now i've got forest, green, which is a little bit darker and i'm, going to start thinking about where i, want the shadows so i'm going to pretend, that the basil is being lit up by this, candle over here, so i'm going to start darkening the, opposite side, so if i'm imagining the light the light, would be hitting sort of there, i'm going to do the opposite, with darker and then i have one shade, darker green that i'm going to go to so, i'm just starting with this mid green, to sort of block it in and so my mind, can start visualizing, how that's gonna look, and i love adding the shadows it's, probably my favorite part i just like to, keep going darker and darker, to me that's cool, and that's the kind of thing that can, just go on forever, but i'm sort of just sticking to the, left hand side as the darker side of the, leaf, and then leaving you can see what a, difference with just two pencils like, the right side of the leaf is light and, then the right side is dark and, it's kind of a messy blend between the, two but you really it really starts to, look more like a shaded, like a real leaf, and then the contrast of the two catches, your eye, when things don't have contrast when, they're a little more flat, it's a, you can still have contrast with flat, art, and a lot of people's style is just, straight flat without shading, i think it might even be more difficult, to get contrast with flat art the, shading, it's a cool style though, but i'm just sort of i'm shading these, in just to give them make them a little, more dynamic, yeah flat is always fine, okay, cool, so now i've got two colors there let's, see i'll do this demo a little bit, i've got two colors, of green, and then i've got my asparagus green or, my darker, green, oh, you're paying more attention to plant, colors isn't that interesting, um, once you start noticing the colors of, plants and things, how varied and, deep and unique, i have an orchid blooming in my house, right now and it just, is stunning, um, this looks like paint it looks like the, goddess splattered paint on it i mean, it's just amazing, what nature does, to decorate, the plants and animals, and humans, we're all decorated with beautiful, different colors too, okay so now i've got my darkest green, and, where i added the darker part i'm just, darkening the darker part and making it, even darker, so i'm just literally going over that, midtone green that i had keeping it more, towards the edge, and none that's blushing patty i must, have missed the first part of that joke, i really need to know, i was raised catholic so i think nuns, are awesome i also am obsessed with, sound of music, um, yeah, so all those scenes with the nuns, definitely right up my alley cool that, looks beautiful, at this point it's up to you i'm gonna, i'm gonna blend a little more mid-tone, in here, just between the dark and the light i'm, gonna go in, and literally just blend the two by, scribbling over it, i'm trying to leave the highlight on the, left, i'm sorry on the right, okay, cool but without overdoing it see i have, got shadow i've got highlights and those, leaves look really nice and dynamic, okay, so for our little roots, oh black and white and red all over, a blinding gun, i love it, that's hilarious, yes yes, it didn't make sense to me at first that, a nun would be black and white and run, all over but a blushing nun is really, hilarious okay, so a really cool stylistic detail of all, these medieval herbals was that like a, lot of times the roots, they shot the roots out of the page out, of the frame i don't know a zebra in a, blender oh no that's terrible, okay, um, yeah so a lot of these medieval herbals, it was just the stylistic detail that, the roots of them were like shooting off, the page or they did a really lots of, cool fun things with the roots i don't, know why i think you know one person, started it and then everyone, continued doing it and uh, here we are, 500 years later and i have picked that, up, in, the green which is herbal and we've got, roots shooting off the page, so i have the brown pencil, i'm just going to darken these up i just, want them to stand out from the, background a little bit but i'm not it's, a small space so i'm not going to go, into too much detail here, but where things underlap that's a nice, place to add shadows so for these knots, i usually go dark in where they under, lap first, and then sometimes it gets tricky like, it just you want a contrast so if the, underneath part is, happens to be lighter, that's fine just uh leave a contrast, so you can kind of get the different, sections of the knot to show up it, doesn't really matter if it's under over, but like the under part is darker the, over part is, lighter and then you have a little bit, more definition and you can really see, the woven, ness, woven-ness the weave there we go, i knew there was a word for that, okay, cool, and then you can add more shadow to this, too but i'm going to leave it pretty, simple, this one's never blushed they were red, because they were mad huh, this is just brown, this is brown, and then, the other one i used was what, i think it was tan no wait i'm sorry, this is light brown, i was using light brown there which is a, good reminder because now i remember, that i have actual brown i can make this, darker, so light brown and brown is what i'm, using on this, little root knot here, okay yay, cool all right, so let's just do this little, i imagine this is a malachite just, because it's green but it could totally, be whatever color you, want i'm just quickly, adding a couple stripes in my different, greens, then i'm going to darken the edge, that's a very small little gem, i'm going to darken the edge a little, bit leave stripe and then blending over, with the darker green, so that's where i am with that you can, see i went out of the lines a lot but i, totally don't care i think it actually, adds to the character, yes the root i definitely um the root, does look like a celtic knot and i, definitely, have a couple books, on celtic knots that i reference for, that kind of thing, okay cool i think that's good on that, for now let's start with this next, section, same thing as the other red section i've, got my orange red orange, i might just go a little harder this, time since, i realized i didn't get it as dark as i, wanted by going super light, so i'm pressing a little bit harder, but still the side of the pencil, keeping it pretty smooth, okay and then this is where i have to, think, because i want this background to be red, but i wanted to show like light i want, this candle to show like some light, so and i already marked the yellow in a, big circle i don't know if how well you, can see that, there you go, i marked the, this is gonna be a little bit trickier, but i think it's going to turn out good, basically i'm trying to leave lighter, highlights, in the midst of this, dark red to make it look like there's a, glow, um the example that i posted already i, did on my computer so that was a lot, easier you can go over a dark color, in photoshop but you can't really with a, pencil, it's a little bit different so what i'm, going to do is just once i get to this, yellow, light i'm going to start just pressing, really really light, and see what happens, and then i'm going to start blending it, into the darker red and then we'll see, where we go from there, because i don't want to diminish from, the dark red but i want it to look like, it's glowing there so, we're just going to be go slow and be, gentle with that there, [Music], okay and then, i want it to be a darker red around the, candle kind of just, i think it'll make the flame stand out, but i still want to leave that light, this is sort of the part that i didn't, it's a little bit, i didn't plan it out so i'm sort of just, talking through my thought process here, i planned it out as far as huh i'm not, exactly sure how that's going to turn, out but i'm sure it'll be fine but see, already that looks that's getting there, i'm leaving this sketchy yellow, and some white, but i'm also blending red into the, middle, so it's not like a big solid yellow, circle which could still look really, cool i've seen some people color, their candle flames like a solid yellow, circle and it gives it a really cool it, actually gives it a very medieval look, like kind of abstract but really really, cute, but i actually like how that's turning, out see, it looks like a candle lighting up a red, wall, so i've got it a little darker around, the actual flame i'm gonna have to erase, that flame because i kind of colored it, red, and then i'm very softly blending, into the yellow but around the yellow, and there's definitely different ways to, do this, but i actually i actually like that that, looks cool, i think it's going to give the desired, effect anyway, and then the darker you go with the red, the more, contrast that that le that yellow is, going to have so the brighter it will, look, isn't that cool, it's the shadows it's the darkness that, makes the light or wait something, something like that right, oh you're you're going over it with, yellow oh yeah that's it yeah you could, do that too color it red and then go, over it with a little more yellow, that's a good good tip nancy, okay, however you do that however it looks, like a candle glow to you is perfect, then i've got my red red that was orange, red, and it's a very subtle difference these, pencils are almost the same to be honest, i just picked it for a little variation, now i'm pressing harder with the red red, to just darken the edges, and add contrast, all right, cool, i would say i probably could spend, longer evening out that red darkening it, up, for the sake of time i'm going to keep, going but you can always go back, and do that, but let's move on to the blue stuff, so navy blue, where's how did i end up with the fourth, blue, navy blue slate, oh, i do have a fourth blue it's midnight, okay, um yeah it's really it's funny when i, write the shopping list and my husband, goes shopping he's like yeah i don't, know what half of those things say could, you write them clearly, basically i think three color two or, three like a light blue and a dark kind, of slatish blue would be fine, i have four there just because i don't, know i pulled four pencils, but, starting with the slate, i'm going to use the same oops i forgot, a big area of red there, let's do that first, okay, good enough all right, so i'm going to color the those items, like the mortar and pestle the pentagram, thing and the jar the same color as the, background, but they're still going to stand out, somehow somehow some way, but i'm just going to start i have a, slate pencil this could be like a gray, it could be any kind of a slatish, blue or like a muted blue, of course if you're doing your own thing, just ignore my instructions, but if you're coloring along just pick, your most, kind of slatish blue, very light touch, all right, and i'm going to keep this part really, really simple and basic, i just did a very very light layer now, i'm darkening this front edge, i'm gonna make this front part more, shadowy and then the back part lighter, that's just how i saw the light fall, you could do it the opposite way, if you want, okay, so that's slate, and then, midnight blue, i'm going to use the midnight blue i, think that looks really nice with the, slate actually, i'm going to just darken the corners and, then, the front, i like to do background first but, you could totally do it the other way, you could do objects first, okay, and then i'm going to start i'm, imagining the lights shining here and so, the shadows of these objects would be on, this right hand side, like this would be a shadow falling, this guy would have a shadow falling, this would be all shadowy in here, do i shut out my pets, when i'm coloring no only like when it's, a live video because like, cornelius is really um, can be really loud he's can be very, demanding he has he's a diabetic and he, has some, i don't know he he's he's a very hungry, guy, so he if he's not fed and he needs food, he'll just like, really, he needs food like he can't he can't, deal, so he'll like meow and meow and meow but, i made sure that they were well fed and, my husband, knows i'm doing a live video so if, anything comes up he'd take care of them, but you know what i have a i have a um, my desk is glass, under this cardboard, and i don't think it would work for all, pets, but my pets don't go on the glass, so i really lucked out with that because, i know cats like to it kind of used to, drive me crazy oops i used the wrong, thing, i thought that was a little white eraser, but it was like a white chalk thing, oh well, it's fine, yeah so i don't shut my pet i let them, come in they don't come on my desk, i know a lot of cats like they love to, jump right on the papers and, they like the sound of pencils so, they'll paw at them and the way your, hand is moving is very attractive to, kitties, but yeah i lucked out with this, glass desk setup, okay that's good, yeah so that's good enough i probably, no i think it's fine i didn't overdo it, i did just what i did okay, so let's do these leaves, and then we'll move on with the other, things, oh how do i color without music color i, usually do have music on, um, or a show or something, i've done a couple lives like this where, i had my stevie nicks in my earphones, just like because i felt like i needed, to listen to something but, this one i'm like talking and, i really like the sound of the wind in, the trees, so if it's like a breezy day i'll open, my back door and just listen to the, sound of the wind, that's actually one of my favorite, sounds, yeah that to me is like that to me other, than like listening to some stevie nicks, or, i guess i have an active imagination too, so right now as i'm talking i literally, have that yoshi's island big band, um, live nintendo concert going through my, head, that i told you about earlier, but i like to i do like to listen to, music or watch shows, my cartoons discovery of witches i've, read the books but i'm watching the show, right now, i'm having a lot of fun with it, okay so i'm doing these leaves the same, way as i did the other leaves, forest green yeah so i did i did the, light, color the yellow green now i have forest, green which is my mid tone i left the um, pretending the candle is lighting it up, so the highlights on this side of the, leaf it's right here where the light and, then the shadows opposite, then i'm just blending in this is my, second color, forest green, just darkening these a little, and you can have two light sources i, mean you can imagine, light coming from different places and, that doesn't have to be precise it's, just, sometimes it makes it look a little more, realistic if the light is consistent, but it's by no means a requirement to, make your coloring look nice, okay, but you see these light these ones are a, lot lighter up here so it kind of looks, like the light's hitting it more, and that's just a fun thing to play with, if it if you don't like that or it's, stressful or you don't get it you can, totally skip that part, you can just make the outside of the, items darker and the inside a little bit, lighter if you take my free coloring, class, that's the trick i give you that's a, great trick, if you don't want to deal with all the, different lighting directions, is to just color the outside of the, item darker and then the inside leave it, a little lighter that'll make it look, like it's shaded without thinking about, the light direction too much, or the opposite make the center darker, and the, edge lighter, but here i'm sort of, just darkening the shadows okay and i, think that's good enough for those, leaves, cool so let's do like the mortar and, pestle type things, same colors as the background or the the, ground the base there the blue, ground, i have slate, and i'm going to make them i'm going to, try to same colors but i'm going to try, to make it stand out from the bottom, or the table top or whatever you call, that, just starting with slate, i'm imagining the candle lighting up the, left side of this so, i'm starting with the right because it's, shadowier, more, shadowier more shadowy, and then, that would be under lapped here, the light wouldn't hit this little, under lap, that would be darker, so even that like just hitting this with, a slate pencil, i didn't even color that side of it, but i just hit one side with like a, slate pencil and that, you can see like i mean i could leave, that like that and it looks really good, that's just up to you the more white you, leave like the more light is hitting it, yeah, okay, i won't go too crazy with it, although i feel the urge to, just make this a three hour live video, why not, no i'm trying to keep it to an hour and, a half and then we got 20 minutes to, finish it so that's about that's about, decent, and it'll still look really good, um it just depends you know you could, just spend hours tightening up details, and, deepening shadows, or i could i could spend, hours tightening up details and, adding shadows, okay, so this jar, i'm going to leave a lot of white, because it's a clear jar oh let's see, that's an interesting thought so if it's, clear jar and it's showing the red, through, i'm gonna just add a tiny bit of red, how does that look kind of cool, okay, back with my slate pencil, shadow up the bottom and that side, and then leaving a lot of light where, the light hits, cool that actually looks pretty good, okay so that's just slate, that's just slate blue so far on those, then the midnight, a little bit of midnight blue, [Music], dark in the shadowy parts, my shadows are on the right here, just the way i have envisioned it, and then when when it's an inside, outside thing like like a bowl or a, cauldron, it's opposite, so this shades itself, if you take my class, not the free one, but the one that costs money, i will go over this in great detail but, for now you can just follow along, if you want this to look realistic this, part would actually be shadowy you can, look at a cauldron in the light and see, the same effect it basically shades, itself, so you have a little bit of a shadow, there, and then the light starts to hit it, there, which is cool, okay, and this is all really subjective, where the light hits and, where the light doesn't hit and where, you put your highlights in your shadows, so i'm just doing how i envision it, you could even set up a little scene, shine a light on it if that helps you, or find a reference photo online, and then follow along with that, just to give you something to go off of, awesome, okay i don't want to do too much here, because that's looking pretty good, but if you want to add like and then if, you want to add texture i know the, example i did that i posted that i, colored digitally i had a digital brush, that added a lot of texture but, if you want to add like a stone type, texture just, start moving your pencil, randomly, harder pressure softer pressure, and, not too even and you can start to kind, of just get it even just a little bit of, a stone texture a couple dots, a little bit of that oh wow that, actually really worked i'm like looking, at i'm like admiring my, in the camera, a genuine reaction, um yeah that actually looks really good, so medium pressure just randomly, pressing my pencil down to get a little, bit of that texture and that really went, a long way, okay, so i'm just going to finish darkening up, this pinnacle and then, remember, to give more contrast between the ground, or the table top and the bottom of those, objects, i'm going to get one shade darker navy, blue, and which way do i want to go i'm going, to just shade this object darker, you could just shade the shadow around, it darker too on the tabletop but i'm, going to shade the edge of this pentacle, tile, oh you printed it on a sketch paper to, get page texture that's a good idea, use a textured paper, there's so many fun tricks you can do, you can get so crafty, okay, i think that's pretty good for that, the candle i didn't pull out any pencils, i'm just going to use the tan that i, used for the background and just very, lightly, make it like a natural candle like a, beeswax, i'm barely gonna color the candle, i'm just gonna, leave light at the, top i'm going to make the flame, yellowish, actually i'm glad i didn't erase that, red because it's blending with the, yellow to make orange, which is awesome that's looking nice, okay so the label i didn't do you can, why don't you you show us us your, creativity by, creating a cute label here i really, didn't do much, in my example and i'm gonna keep it, plain but you could do something cute, with that if i level something like that, blank i want you to do something cute, so you could make that your pesto or, whatever you want, basil oil, whatever you like to do with basil i'm, just, gently blending slate just to add some, color to that, that looks really nice though, so the flames on the right so i'm, darkening the shadow on the left and, making more light hit that top right, corner that makes any sense, but i don't want to do too much i like, the light look of that jar the red and, yellow that i added actually really do, make it look see-through on the top, so, well done i succeeded whoa, yeah that was sort of ad-libbed okay so, this pentacle, i'm imagining it like that's carved in, so just very lightly, in the under lapping knot sections, really not too precisely i'm just, darkening some of these, and trying to leave a little contrast, between the, the top and the back and the bottom, there, and i'll darken this edge, beautiful, i think that looks really nice what do, you think, oh that looks so cute, and that really wasn't very many colors, at all, okay so the crystal, i colored the one in the example i, posted already that colored that, digitally i'm really enjoying, coloring crystals, on my computer because you can really, blend them and make them look super, super real and i'll do white highlights, at the very end of this but for now, um if you don't have the white highlight, like a white pen or a white paint that's, fine, i'm gonna just if you want your crystal, to look like a quartz leave a lot of, white, so just in this middle section i'm sort, of coloring it slate, so it looks like the, table top there is shining through it, but you can see how much white i left, there the top is like all white like, light and even the bottom like has light, showing through the tip, so i'm just i'm literally i just did, like two scribbles on that crystal and, that's all i'm gonna do for now i'll do, some white at the end, and this little, elemental border here, slate, and then yeah i'm going to leave a, little bit of white highlight there, where the light's lighting it up, and then get the midnight blue and, shadow in the corners and the edges a, little bit, but here i'm bare you know i'm not, being too precise and i'm not taking too, much time, but you can see just you can see how, leaving a little white and then adding a, little shadow, really, makes the page look dynamic and makes, one little section like that turn out, really dynamic because it looks oh that, looks so good it looks like the candle's, lighting up that border and all the, items and there's like light showing, through the jar, and that's super fun, okay so we're almost done, um, we're almost done to the point of the, video but of course you could go back, and probably spend as much time as you, want we'll just put it that way spend as, much time as you want, evening out colors darkening shadows, adding more contrast, um dynamic like shadow like adding, shadowy bits, really makes things pop, pop pop, who calls it pop instead of soda, talking to you midwesterners, okay so i'm doing that word basil just, sort of like i did the letter basil i'm, taking a, you call it pop tina i had a feeling, i thought that was the funniest thing, when i was a kid, and i met, the kids from the other states i think i, was at a camp or something and it was, like different states and, like soda who calls it soda, like they thought that was so, pretentious, but i'd never heard, can of pop, sounded you know like old school to me, like i've never called it pop, and then then i think it was the kids, from texas they called everything a coke, even if it was a sprite you say i, thought that was the funniest thing you, say you want a coke and then they say, what kind of a coke and then you say, like a 7up or a root beer, cute, very cute, okay so i'm just i'm you could do, better you could do a gradient on these, letters like dark to light i'm just i'm, doing a random, smattering of three different colors on, them, just because that's what my pencil is, doing, we've reached the phase of the coloring, where my pencil is moving without me, basically, you call it a coke you call it a coke in, dallas oh you call it a tonic, [Laughter], oh that's funny yeah i think the texas, the texans call it a coke i love that a, tonic, um that's great, okay let's see we'll do a little bit, more on that and then i'll i'll move, into details oh this was so fun, i haven't colored in a bit because i've, been busy doing, the book, but this was like really really fun, so i hope you're having fun too, but i've got my asparagus green and i'm, just darkening these letters a little, bit, cool, yay, and then i think i mean if i were to, keep spending more time on this i would, around these letters i would probably, darken a little i would spend more time, with a darker brown making this stand, out a little bit but i'm just going to, leave it for the sake of time and then, if you want to darken those up and add, more contrast, have at it, something like that though a little bit, darker around the letters okay, cool wow that looks awesome, okay, i'm stoked on how this turned out i, practiced on my computer i had that, digital coloring as i said, but um it's different with pencils so, it's really fun for me to see it come, together, with pencil, and kind of see, you know what i did in digital, and, you lost tara go find her, where is she is she okay hope she's okay, i hope you didn't lose lose her, um that would be really sad, go find tara is she in wonderland did, she tara in wonderland okay, did she go down the rabbit hole, cool, yes all right so at this point it's just, details and the details are optional so, i have a couple things to show you um i, couldn't find my white paint pen and i'm, like kind of, um, i don't oh veronica mentioned one that's, called an artistro, like artist with ro at the end an, artistro white paint pen, that are fine tip and they actually work, really really well, um i kind of got frustrated with the, uniball signos which are a very common, white paint pen maybe you have a better, luck with them i have this for my, watercolors it's a bleed it's like a, white very nice white watercolor and a, little brush i'm just very comfortable, with brushes right now and paint so, you can use a white paint pen for this, or this is totally optional but i'm, going to um, use this bleed proof white just to add, just throw a couple highlights on here, i hope she's okay, tina, sometimes we disappear sometimes we have, to go into our black holes i understand, i have to do that sometimes i just, disappear, it happens okay, so you could use your white paint pen, oops no it's all over my, fingers oh well we'll be fine, just paint, i found something i can't talk and do oh, wait i can't talk and do this, a white paint pen is going to be easier, than a brush if you're not steady with a, brush which i guess i have i'm a little, out of practice right now okay stop, talking amy concentrate, but basically what i'm doing, is whiting out, the edges on the crystal and if you add, if you white over the edges it'll really, give it a glow it lightens it up, significantly, and you don't necessarily want to do all, of them like if you look at a quartz, crystal you'll see a lot of the seams or, the like the edges whatever those are, called, are light and some of them are dark, but if you just see look at that like i, just added a little bit of white, and it really lightened up that crystal, and gave it a glow, so that's a really cool thing to do, and then once that dries i can go back, and darken around it and that makes the, white edge stand out a little bit more, but that's a nice way see how glowy that, crystal looks now it looked great before, um, okay let's see what else so, then, thanks for thanks for watching mel, nice to see you here, i love the name almond you're really, lucky that you have a, nut name, for a name that points to a natural, element i think that's cute whether or, not that's your real name i think it's, cute, um i should have prepared with a paper, towel here but i don't have one, just gonna, yeah so jars anything that's like glass, or crystal you can add a little white, highlight yeah i had too much paint on, my brush there, paint pens gonna give you more control, i was just trying to be fancy here with, the white, paint and i think i like this white, paint because it's it really leaves a, lot of white, okay anyway that's good, put a little bit of white, even that yeah i did a messy job but you, can still see how much light that added, to it and then around the candle like a, candle a flame doesn't have a big black, line, they might be blue at the bottom, sometimes but you know there's not a big, black line around it so just masking, like a little bit of you don't have to, go to all the black line but just, masking like a little bit of it around, some of these lighter brighter objects, gives a really great effect, in a finished look, your roommate, um your roommate found the video to be, too meditative so she took a nap, i love that, it's fabulous our magic is working abby, our magic is working, so i'm just masking a little bit of that, with white blah blah blah okay, i don't have the patience for it, right now so i'm just gonna leave that, but you can i hope you get the effect i, think you do i did a messy job but i, think you can see, what a little bit of white will do, so that's cool and then another thing, you could do, jelly roll metallics, and i'm gonna finish up here like within, three or five minutes i just want to, show you a couple of my other tricks, you could use the white pen around these, leaves to mask some of it but you could, also use a metallic jelly roll, and, so if this black line on the, basil you don't want it to be full white, but you want to mask it a little bit you, can just use a little bit of metallic, pen, and that adds light it adds sparkle, and then you can get another brush or, your finger or a paper towel and kind of, blend it in a little bit but you can see, like even just masking like this front, line the mask a little bit, hi cornelius i'm almost done buddy, speaking of cats, being locked out he's on the other side, of the door wondering, when his next meal is going to be served, okay but just a little bit of that, goes a long way, and i'm not even going around each leaf, i'm just doing like, a little bit, or like around the front on the, highlight and it it adds sparkle it adds, you know, pizzazz and it sort of masks it so it, doesn't have such a harsh line around it, see like this one is really highlighty, if i take off that dark edge, and then i blend in a little, metallic green it sort of just gives, that leaf a different look which is kind, of cool, oh that was the other thing i was gonna, do, on this tiny tiny malachite, the secret to making a gem look shiny is, to get like a really blurry white, highlight on it, so, that's cornelius, he's hungry and i think my husband went, outside so i'm gonna finish this up and, go take care of the little guy, but, so this is tiny so i'm bringing it real, close, but you can see like, it's like magic it's freaking magic, if you just go like just get a tiny bit, of white on there, and then smudge it real good, you can smudge a paint pen too, blend that in really nicely, and then your crystal suddenly looks, shiny not just because it's wet but, because it has a highlight on that edge, so that's a really fun thing to play, with just look at pictures online of, crystals and try to emulate where you, see that highlight, and that'll it'll just pop right before, your eyes, and i'm just blending that in again, yeah note to self have paper towels next, time you're doing a live demo with paint, okay, cool but that's that so that's like my, little gem and then, i'll just show you, a couple things like gold, gold metallic jelly roll, you could just add, or, these, metallic watercolors are amazing they're, kuretake, korotaki starry colors they're pretty, inexpensive like 12 or 13 dollars, and they really have a great effect so, you could use a little brush or you, could use this jelly roll but i think, this jelly roll is doing a great job, it's a metallic kind of a, copperish color and then you can just, add a little bit of detail to your, borders with the metallic pen, and then for the grand finale, you haven't figured out how to use the, kuritaki stories tina, i will show you, so right now what i'm going to do i mean, you could just use them like get a small, brush and like, a little bit of water, the thing that's nice about them is, they're really opaque, so like look look how beaut look how, gold and beautiful that is so you just, you can use it to color little stars, you could make little dots on your page, like by hand you can color accents you, know like add a little gold, on your flame or on your candle or just, around the edges anything you want to, accent, you can just use a brush, and, just add a little accent you can even, put it on the stem, or like um i've seen mellie do some cute, things where she puts like dots like, maybe she'd get this one and like, add some little dots to the leaves or, just like little tiny accents, but my favorite thing to do and we'll, leave that as the grind yes that's what, we'll do, you make splatters, so you want a pretty wet mixture so, it'll splatter but you don't want it too, wet where you don't have color so you, want, like a nice thick paint mixture on your, brush and i this is like a, i don't know what size this is but you, know it's like a smaller brush smaller, than my finger, that you can practice first let's, practice first um, to make sure you get the size dots you, want but basically like you get your, nice paintbrush, and then, um, kurotaki, kurotaki and then if you look up starry, colors metallic watercolors these are, just awesome and you can see even on the, example it's a splatter people really, use those for splatters, so the way i do it is i get like a, medium small brush the bigger brush you, have the bigger splatters you'll have, and then i have a big old brush and i'm, bonking it oh that ended up in my face, you want to practice it will get, everywhere it's probably on my face, okay, i think, the way that work seems to when i go, when i put the big brush on top it kind, of shoots up in my face, when i put the big brush, underneath, and i bonk it, that's when you it seems to go on the, paper, there's some physics to that somewhere, um, it's the direction of force or whatever, i don't know but anyway yeah so the, the, bonk means something else in the uk it, means that here too, um, so the little brush on top with the, paint, the big brush underneath and definitely, practice you'll get the size of splatter, you want and the you can see sometimes, it makes a line which i sort of like, because it it kind of looks like a, constellation oh my goddess now i have, splatters all over, my stuff which is cool, okay, so let's do it on the paper, but you know you don't want to overdo it, although it's really easy to because, it's so fun, but just a couple splatters, get a couple up here, try to keep it towards the edges, but that's about it, and that i mean it's random if you if, you're um, really precise you can just go dot dot, dot with a little brush, i like the splatter effect i'm not, precise so i prefer the random effect of, it but, it makes it look really pretty, maybe let's do one more, i like the randomness of it, kind of keep it, uneven like i'm going to keep this one, corner, i'm gonna put more on that one corner, and maybe more up at the top here let's, see, a little bit more up at the top, like diagonal corners, but there you go, a fan brush would probably work i don't, have one it would probably give you a, different pattern which might be really, cool like more of a splayed out pattern, so i would just give that a try and see, um, but yeah it's fun so like a straight, brush kind of gives you a little more of, a line like that like a constellation, but anyway that's that's adding detail, so like even just a couple splatters, richens up, the already cool look that we had, so that's about it at this point if i, wanted to do more i would just keep, darkening shadows i would add more, textures i would probably make these, reds deeper i would keep darkening um, maybe the background a little bit in the, corners and just keep adding more, but i hope that was helpful and i had a, really good time, so i hope you had fun too, and if you color this page either in, this style or in your own style i would, love to see it post it in the group, and, thank you for coming happy coloring you, guys, okay enjoy your weekend thank you for, watching, bye, you

Tell HN: A private library in SF that could double as a hackerspaceIf you think coffee shops are too loud and coworking spaces are too expensive, you might appreciate this hack. I discovered it by accident while search for 'wood paneling' on Yelp. :-)

The Mechanic's Institute, near the corner of Post and Market, is a non-profit private library and chess club, and membership only costs $100 per year. That's considerably better than the $300 a month charged by the least expensive coworking spaces! It's also, in my humble opinion, a much more beautiful workspace. The building has tall ceilings and windows, large columns, wood-paneled study rooms, plush leather chairs, and large desks with power outlets. The wifi is also fast and reliable.

The reviews on the library's Yelp page will give you a good sense of what it's like:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/mechanics-institute-library-and-chess-room-san-francisco

I hope to see you here! It would be great to make this a well-known hacker outpost in downtown SF. Perhaps we could even organize a daily lunch or afternoon tea. Here's a chat room where we can coordinate:

You can also find my email in my HN profile. If you're visiting SF or want to spend a day here before committing to a membership, I can get you in as a guest..
,Alert HN: X.org suddenly isn't resolvingFirst of all, I'm not experienced in identifying transient network glitches. If I'm freaking out about a temporary issue then I request the moderators to hide or delete this post.

I've verified my claim in the title via digwebinterface using every resolver.

Since it takes forever to load, here's a screenshot (1002x2394, 291KB): http://i.imgur.com/iqaGKt8.png

Text description: this screenshot shows every resolver that works (two couldn't be reached) saying SERVFAIL; the only one that still replies is OpenDNS, which returns an A record of 131.252.210.176. This uses a Location: redirect to send me to https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/.

Here are the settings I used - it takes a couple minutes to fully load, and DNS is usually fast, right? :S - http://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=x.org&type=&showcommand=on&colorize=on&stats=on&sort=on&useresolver=8.8.4.4&ns=all&nameservers=

The domain seems to be registered until 2025, according to pir.org (754x882, 108KB): http://i.imgur.com/hsPqvaS.png (you have to go to https://pir.org/products/org-domain/#domain_form, input x.org and go past the captcha to reload this info)

I have no idea what's going on - I was looking up X11 documentation and thought it was my own internet when X.org persistently wasn't resolving.

All I know is that right now http://x.org, https://x.org, http://www.x.org and https://www.x.org don't seem to work.

I'm posting this in light of the recent Phoronix article outlining some ownership handover issues (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10867202, https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=X.Org-Domain-Woes). I'm not sure if this is related to that.

Once again if I've posted this due to misinterpretation or ignorance about networking then I apologize. (For example, I noticed that x.org uses two in-house nameservers, ns1.x.org and ns2.x.org, and perhaps those are down - but this would have had to have been for a while since 8.8.8.8 is answering SERVFAIL.)

Cool Platinum Age gem - The Story Of Just Kids (McLoughlin Bros. 1932). This is a 20 page mixture of text and prose illustrated in 3 colors. Just Kids was a kid humor strip that ran from 1923 to 1950. It was popular enough to inspire a comic book, a coloring book and a fistful of Big Little Books. 15
