Hey guys, I'm Ed and this is jelly. And this is the first unit of how to draw for kids. Right? And in this unit, what are we going to talk about supplies? Cool. Okay.

So, basically what we need or what rather what you need for this course, right? Okay, so what's the first thing you absolutely need for this course? A piece of paper? That's right. We need something to draw, right? Um, let me see this thing.

Okay, so you don't need a special Sketchbook. It's nice to have and everything right. But basically, this printer paper. Yeah, just simple blank printer paper, right? Try not to use the stuff with lines all over it. It might mess you around a little bit, right?

Um, just something simple, something blank and you're Good to go. Right? Okay, what's next? Um, hey, that's right. Ah, is that a special pencil? I found it on my desk.

Okay. Now listen, when it comes to pencils, there's different types, not just brands and everything right. But the actual grading of the pencil means kind of the lead how how tough it is, right? And so a medium grade pencil would be an HP. And that's my favorite and check the pencil what kind of HP? There you go.

That's what we usually use. You can get softer LEDs that are more like charcoal or something they'll be they'll seem darker and stuff, and some firmer ones, right? That'll be more for sketching. It depends. Whatever you've got lying around, I think is good enough for you. So you can use just a normal pencil or a pen.

Right? You can use just a normal pen that's lying around. What's the problem with using a pen? You can't erase? Yeah, right. Uh, don't worry about it.

We don't do a lot of erasing in this course. Right? I like to teach that you know, the mistakes that we're making. We just kind of work with them and stuff, right? work through them. But yeah, I get it, you might want to erase some stuff.

So reconsider this pen. You know what, if you want to have any racer, we, we didn't use it as one of the requirements for this course. I think on the back of the pencil, you can use it there, right? Yeah, but it's not needed. Okay. So don't stress about it.

If this is all you've got. This is cool to use. Okay, so that's, that's what's needed. Right is pen paper, pencil. That's it right. Now, here's some extra stuff that we sometimes use around around our house and stuff.

What else you got there? A brush. Cool. Sure. What, what's what's the brush pen? No, I mean, like, you got to pick it up and show that it's actually like it's got a brush tip.

This is kind of cool. It's like, like ink brush, like, you know how like those like Chinese or cleaners? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, yeah. Um, think of it basically like a small paintbrush or something like that. And that means it can be kind of tough, right?

You can really mess up with it. Um, you got to have the stroke pattern down, make sure it's drive for you. Right and that smudges more it leaves a lot of ink on the paper and stuff like that. Right? So I would say kind of hold off on on, you know, if you're going to move from pens to brush pens and stuff, I got to stick with a pencil. But if you're feeling brave, and if you got it around, you know, you can use them right, what else you got here?

Ah, marker is cool. Oh, interesting. Basically, color selection. You know, I have Gray's and primary colors. Right, right, right. Yeah.

What's the brand? Ah, this is touch you. Okay? So when it comes to markers, the ones that we've got here, whether it's the Touch ones or the Popik brand, they're a little expensive, they're alcohol based. So they blend you can kind of smudge them over each other and they can kind of blend into each other, right? The the typical markers that you get at Walmart or something, they don't do that.

We are not going to be focusing on coloring in this course. This is how to draw right how to draw for kids, right? So we're going to be focusing on drawing But listen, I love coloring. So do I right? So I get it, you know, I get it. If you want to color some of your stuff.

I what I want to do is show you what we have kicking around our our studio here, right? Okay, so that's it for traditional stuff. But in this course, we're actually the two of us are going to be working digitally. The reason we're doing that is because it's easier for us to capture what we're doing and send it to you. We're doing the screen capture stuff, right? So that for us teaching, we can kind of grab that screen and just, you know, recorded easy right So what are you going to be working on?

That's pretty big, bigger than my head. That's pretty big. Sorry. Anyways, I've had crows pretty awesome. And if you get it, you should get the Apple Pencil with it. Now, maybe Christmas is coming up.

Maybe Santa is coming by your house, and maybe this is a request, but as a parent that we needed or anything, they're not cheap, right? But they're kind of awesome. You're working on the iPad. The iPad is just a device, right? Um, you need apps you need programs on and stuff. So what are you going to be using procreate?

And what do you think of procreate? Um, it's very easy to do. It takes some time, but you should get it pretty quickly. Yeah, you know, some of these programs are they got a little bit of a learning curve to them. They're a little bit tough. They're not like paint by numbers.

Some of them it will take you a little bit. I like sketching Pro and Clip Studio Paint but it gets tough right? I think procreate is the easiest is the Yeti to just dive into so we're not telling you to buy this. But if you happen to have an iPad kicking around the house with a with a stylus or iPads or whatever, grab it and play with it, you can whether it you're sketching on that piece of paper or whether you're sketching on this doesn't really matter. Okay. I just want to show you what we're using.

So Joey's going to be using this and I'm going to be using, let's see if I can kind of bend here. This this big tablet sitting behind me here. That's called a Wacom Cintiq and it's huge, and it's awesome. And I got like this cool pencil with stylus with it right? And that's what I'm using. And it is also very expensive, and that's why she's not using it.

Yeah, they cost a lot, right. These tablets are very, very expensive and So, again, as a parent, I'm not telling you to go ask your parents to buy this. You don't need it. But I wanted to be honest with what we're using here. Okay, so that's what we're using to help teach you guys. But we're not going to be using any digital tricks or anything like that.

The stuff that we're teaching, you can use it for just our basic supplies and what are our basic supplies again? A pen, paper and pencil, right. That's it. That's all you need. Okay, but if sent is good to you. It's all good.

Okay, you're ready to get rolling on this? Yeah, let's do it.
