my drawing workspace | loft bed art studio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2015
- Hello hello! In this video, I will be showing you around my cozy corner art studio located in my bedroom. Actually this occupies majority of my bedroom because art is life and sleeping is for the weak. I'd sleep on the floor if it meant I get to have more space for my art materials, but luckily loft beds exist so I am able to sleep on the ceiling to make space for my art supplies! Enjoy!

- - - frequently asked questions - - -
1. What materials do you mainly use for your drawings?
In general, I use Copic Ciao markers and Touch Twin Markers, Quill Multiboard A4 white paper, 2B and HB Pentel and Faber-Castell 0.5 mechanical pencil and Faber-Castell PVC-Free Space Eraser (Cool name) and I use Uni-ball Signo white fineliner
2. Did you go to any art school or academy?
No. I took Studio Arts in senior high school. It's not from that class that I learned evreything I know. I did learn new things from the class, but not to do with fashion illustration or manga drawings. I went to a regular high school, so it doesn't specialize in art.
3. How do you draw the models? Do you use any templates?
I started out by tracing models from magazines which is harder than it sounds, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Then of course, I searched all types of videos on RUclips and some sites as well on Google, which unfortunately, I don't remember. How I learned to draw my models is using the 9-Head technique.
4. How old are you?
I am now 20 years old during the filming of this video
5. How long have you been drawing?
I'm pretty sure I started drawing at 6. That's probably my oldest memory of me drawing. I got into manga drawings when I was 11 years old, I started teaching myself how to draw manga when I was 13 years old. I started developing an interest in fashion design also when I was 11, but I pursued that interest or taken it further at the age of 14. So, I would say I started drawing fashion illustration at the age of 14.
6. Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from music, photos on Instagram, Tumblr fashion trends, things that I love. There are times where I am just in an Artist's Block and I feel really brain dead where I can't draw. Or I force myself to draw and it never turns out to be something that I like.
7. Do you have any links or books you can recommend?
Definitely! Fashion Illustration by Anna Kiper and Fashion Poses for Fashion Illustrators by Sha Tahmasebi are two books that I own at the moment. I'm hoping to get more. These two books are very helpful if you're a beginner or even if you want to be a bit more advanced.

I love how everything is actually so perfectly fit in your workspace

I love this! Finally, a workspace video that focuses on function and storage rather than pretty gold ornaments and minimalism. So inspiring!
RUclips won't let me reply to some people on here, but for anyone that is confused, i think Zyra lives in Australia which is why she is on winter vacation instead of summer vacation. Great video, by the way!! I love these type of videos.
I promised myself I will never watch these kind of videos again, because it always makes me want to redecorate my desk but I end up just moving 3 things around and it takes hours, but oh well, I'm here again.
+Maria's Art Palette OMG I feel the same. I rearrange my room more than once a year because of these kind of videos xD
+MimiGreenFox same here its like every weak I move my room around
It's 1 am and I keep watching these every night😂
My dream is to have a desk like yours *-*
Mine too
Same!!!
same
Same here
same
This is actually so inspiring, pizza boxes are so interesting now! Please, please, please show us a lot more DIY in particular how you made the really cool draw with the dividers and the Copic holder because my copics are still in what they came in originally and it's boring but seriously you are super creative x
This is a frikin corner of heaven :o I've fallen in love. Desk goals XD

This video really made me feel better for making some of my own things.
You should make a DIY video on how you made the organizer for your colored pencils and markers. :D
Grabe. You are so organized! I only keep my art materials in a couple of canvass bags with no organization whatsoever. I just dump them wherever. Ugh, I love your workspace!

I love how everything is DIY!! Your videos help me a lot .
Could you do a video on how to draw a typical manga girl but tell me if you already have
Thank you :) I don't really draw manga anymore so I'm probably not the best person to do a tutorial on that.. I lack practice now
I also suggest Mark Crilley's tutorials if you haven't seen his vides yet because they are great :)
Thank you so much for replying and I will definitely watch his videos thanks :)
i really like this slide out divider at your main desk!!!
i´m going to make one of these!!!

+WeirdEldy thank you so much! and cool! I would love to see a workspace tour (i love watching those kind of videos and sadly there aren't that many here on RUclips) xD
Your drawings are amazing !!! I wish mine were that good!
It's so awesome to see someone else, recycle too. However, really interesting video as a workspace, and take care for all.

+NicoleNixz C. haha thank you so much!
You're so organized! and your DIY storages are super creative! wahh give me some of your motivation xD
Reemoo4kill thank you and YAS GO BE CREATIVE :D
agnes-cecile is my idol! she was the reason i got into watercolouring and for a while i practice by observing her style and tried to mimick it and her works just give me inspirations sometimes for my own paintings or stories then i found your channel and now i'm more into colour pencils :p i don't know why, though; but you definitely inspired me to go all full colours (i used to do bw and i'm HELLA SCARED to touch the skin and everything in the fear of i'd ruin it but thanks to you now i'm not so scared anymore) so thanks to both of you! (and also mary doodles, if you know her, because she's the reason i started do hatching and cross hatching, also)
+kaefitzmag SAAAMMMEE! definitely take risks with art! There's no right and wrong with it, so it's safe to experiment, fail and learn with art! So all the best!
Zyra Bañez
thank you! i just got more art supplies (some pencil colour, gel pen, and 0,05 marker) and they give me much excitement. definitely going to try to explore more!

Hi,your work space is amazing and I really liked how you placed each stuffs and all the pens you got,I really envy them! It's pretty difficult in India to get all the art supplies like copic markers and stuffs,it's pretty expensive out here.anyway,your drawings are wonderful and I really enjoyed your videos.👍🏼👍🏼😄
I would love to have a workspace like that 😊
Haha, I
Zoe Chiow ahaha it's kind of the phrase I say a lot right now XD
Love your workspace! Thats my goal :D
wow you're amazing!!
You have a better organization this year, I like it. Waiting for the 2016!! All of these videos you made I am asking myself if you want to make real clothes for people or design your own designs of materials, because you have a lot of imagination
Your drawing work space is awesome !!!! Can you make some of the awesome crafts please!!
Can you tell me how you made your copic marker dividing shelf please, amazing work space, once my sister moves out, I'm going to fix up tthe room to make the workspace look like yours. loved it
I adore you girl... You kind of superhuman :p
I always wanted a drawing desk because I love to draw
your workspace looks very cool u.u
Very resourceful!
It's great you'd first build your own storage systems and find what's necessary to your own workflow.
you are basically one of the thriftiest artists I've seen. just shows that you don't really need to splurge on office supplies for your space to look nice. making use of the things around you helps. thanks for sharing!
Can I just own this entire workspace😍😍😍😍😍
I know this is old but I love your workstation. can you please do a tutorial on how you made your Coptic storage? Or did you already make a video on that?
I haven't made one yet, but I'm planning to sometime in the future, for the meantime, there's a tutorial by Sakuems which might help you out :)
Your workspace's very nice and clean. Love it. But how do you do to clean pizza boxes before using them ? It doesn't smell ?
Thanks :) I clean them out immediately after, but I leave them out to dry for months before using them for a DIY. I'm not sure if that's actually what removes the smell, but mine doesn't seem to have any
It's small but nice, I like that!!
Thnx for upload .... m waiting for ur video .....
here I am again!! As usual I am in love with your stuff and with your work. For some reason I want to meet you in the future. :) Hopefully I do.
Winter break? It's summer!
Great video, where do you purchase the quill multi board? Also would be interested to know what prisma colours you think are best for faces for skin tone and shading, I only have the 24 pack, but I could purchase single colours from an art shop. Would love to see you use just your prisma colours on one of your sketches. Thanks, I love it when I see a new video from you in my feed.
Tiffany Hiller I got the Quill paper from Officeworks. I haven't used them as much because I haven't got the time so maybe when I use them for a video I can list down the colours (or numbers) :)
Can you do a tutorial on how to do the copic marker storage?
how do you set up your camera to film drawings? I'm struggling to find ways to set it up so that it is dangling above me and so that my head does not hit it.
Hi, amazingly creative
I keep watching this video for days right now xD
It's really great how you made your storage and eveything seems super tidy and clean !
Can I know how you made this "divider" at 4:12 ?
Thank you for watching! haha I made it out of scrap cardboard. There are videos on RUclips of DIY dividers, I basically took the concept and made it materials I found at home. I then covered it with colourful & white paper to make it look neat xD
Hey I was wondering if you can make a hand writing improving video? I wanna know how can I improve my hand writing.
Thats awesome
that's amazing
yes video on traveler notebook :)
Your drawing workspace is really reaaaaallyyyyy what I would want to have someday. Everything is just organized, I swear. ;-; I like how there are DIY stuffs in there and not just something you'd buy. It's like being creative and being productive. When I watched this I feel like I was being given some tips on having a more organized room. I swear I really love it. Just a question though; what software did you use to edit this video?
Sharmaine Argañosa Thank you :D I really love organisation and if it inspires you to be more organised.. YAY! :D
I also use iMovie to edit the video :)
