idea: put a bunch of emotions in a hat (eg; angry, sad, happy, scared, embarrassed). Draw the sketch/outline. and THEN pick an emotion. So the emotion comes from the colouring or added extras. I think it would be a good test and use of colour theory
A tip for the people who have to swatch their colours every time they use:- Cut out 1cm×1cm boxes (small basically) from your sketchbook paper (or the paper you use usually) and make swatches on those cut out boxes. And then tape them to the barrel of your marker... You'll never need anymore swatching! I personally use water based markers. So I've taped the swatch of the marker and the swatch of water mixed version of it. It helps with taking out the desired colour with having to test them all
I actually liked the small smile. It made it seem like she had fallen asleep and she was dreaming, and what may seem like depressing to us is peaceful to her, perhaps representing a reprieve from the chaos of the world, as the loud colors and noises fade to soft gray tones.
That’s not depression...depression is a prolonged feeling of constant and persistent sadness. I’d say it’s more like recovering from depression as someone who is diagnosed
Most people don't realize that beauty can be found in darkness sometimes. The true beauty of this piece is that you poured much of your true self into it, I think. I see it as a kind of tribute to the person you lost and imagine it has more meaning for you than some of your other art. That's not to say that you don't put yourself into your other art or that your other art is lacking meaning. I'm just saying I feel this one is maybe a bit more meaningful than others.
As someone who’s going into interior design I love gray. Each hue has its own colour palette that just make a room unique. Like lighter hues and pastel pinks or earth tones and even a dark blue or brown. Ugh I could talk about gray all day. 😂😂
I actually liked the first face better! The little white marker “mistake” actually looked kinda cool, like maybe she had vitiligo or something. Overall this turned out great, nice job!!
I’m just gonna say I have like serious respect for ppl that use oil paints bc I didn’t have black and the only black I had was oil paint and i didn’t know how long they took to dry and I was just so amazed that ppl use oil paint regularly and make masterpieces with it
I have to admit, this is one of my favourite challenges. Having every all of one colour from your own art supplies kind of forces the mind into creativity. Like the impression that colour gives you, wheather that's sad, happy or angry. You are able to make that colour coresponded with the "vibe" that colour gives YOU. It also forces you too add more detail, where you thought it didn't need more detail. That is if you're fully committed to the challenge ofc.
i loved this idea, waffles. i related hard to the piece; the feeling that i’m not living but just existing. it’s how i feel and many others. i’m glad i found this video :)
Waffles: "It ended up looking... what's the professional term... weird?" Me: Very professional indeed. Yay! I'm finally awake when a video's released (I normally sleep too late lol)!
I love watching your videos. Videos like these where you don’t take your mistakes too seriously makes me feel so much better about not being “perfect” all the time in my art. It’s much more realistic and I appreciate that you show that to everyone and stay so goofy and happy anyways and just keep trying. It gives me hope to keep working on my art❤️
Is it just me, or does everyone think that Rin has a lot more gray art supplies than the other colors. But the main thing is, the illustration is fantastic Waffles. I can't believe you were able to get such different shades with gray. And overall, I think you managed to find the perfect amount of contrast. Magnifique 😍
We love you rin, hope youre doing well hun take your time to heal, even if you dont come back we truly hope the best for your wellness and pray for you !

"here it is gRaY" **all my colored art supplies crying the corner rn**
I mean, you probably didn’t like the fact that you added that watercolour wash, but I actually really like it. I think it sets the mood of greyness and sadness and I really like the texture that gives it some interest for the eye.
Waffles: I imagine you'd be hard pressed to find someone whose favourite color is grey Me:Mom what's your favourite colour? Mom: grey Me:that was easy.
Grey is one of my favorite color. I did a lot of black and white photography and learned to love the different greys because they gave such depth to my pictures. The greys in film photography (digital is getting better) are so pretty.
Ok but you should take the characters you made for the "every supply in X color" and draw them together. Maybe not in one big illustration but like, just various sketches of them vibing together.
Have someone standing there or sitting , whilst people in the background blurred fast in motion . This person in the middle is still at ease .. that’s a real art challenge with strong feelings behind it ❤❤❤Xxx
That one actually came in a Scrawlrbox and there was another one or two with it. I remember being amused by the names and as a Metallica fan this one stuck in my head but I can't remember what the others were. I will see if I can find them in my mountain of Scrawlrbox supplies and let you know! 😊
'Heart of Gold' was the other one (Scrawlrbox website for the win! Didn't even need to get out of bed haha!) After looking up the packet on Amazon I saw the pink one was called 'Berry Nice' so I don't think they were song titles.
@@Littlewings1211 other shades included copper cabana, ice ice baby blue, and wanderlust, so I’m guessing wanderlust and berry nice are song references we just don’t get. 😉
im so glad you came with another “using every single “ video. cause i found myself rewatching the other 7 so many times😭these helped me get through alot of things
“Gray, uh, finds a way.” Beautiful piece! Definitely resonates with me as I also spent most of 2020 in that position, especially after losing loved ones. Thank you for this!
I think the piece is beautiful, and the part that you regretted immediately is my favorite part. I love the way that the black wash over the whole piece added texture that goes with the feel of what you are trying to portray. Very well done

Just funny how that was so similar.
@@FreezingmoonDSBMAnd in my source example, it was said it's like there's no pencil sharpeners or erasers around, so you're stuck with a broken pencil until you can find a way to help it get sharp again.
Watching you absolutely conquer every struggle you had with this piece is low key a huge inspiration to get through this year, no matter how tough it has been :') what a beautiful messy process
I hate to hear 2020 was such a struggle for you Rin but I appreciate that you’re so honest. I was in the same boat as you last year and I’m just starting to feel better so it means a lot to hear I’m not alone. You’re really inspiring and it’s awesome to see you turn even the negative into such a cool art piece. 🖤 I look forward to all of your videos and I’m never disappointed. Thanks for being you! 🥺
This reminded me of my single black sharpie- idk why And this kinda looks like a pencil drawing - all black and white-ish 😅 But you're so talented you can make even GREY look GREY-T
When you were talking about the reasons for drawing this I could really relate. I also draw and I love expressing my feelings through drawing 2020 was also very hard for me and there was a lot of being crumpled on the floor in grungy clothes also. I lost my dad to covid and it was worst time of my life but I know others have gone through this and I'm not alone. I love the finished artwork it looks amazing. Take care rin ♥️
I love the result so much, the contrast is spectacular, and the silver is just amazing how it glows. You achieved some amazing depth too, with the shading in the girl and the clouds! This is definitely one of my favorite pieces you've ever created
@@drawingwiffwaffles some more ideas I got are using all peaches? I'm not sure if you've done that,, and also an idea that I'm not sure will work or if you've done- using all _blacks_ , but using different shines opacity etc to not make it plain black 👁️👄👁️
you are not alone. reach out to people who can help and try not to let it stop you from experiencing things. For me, its such a powerful overwhelming thing that tries to stop me from conquering it. Sometimes it helps me to know that it only has power over me if I let it, so when I feel this desire to not experience things that will help, I know that its the darkness scared of losing me. Not actually me losing love for living. I'll be thinking of you. Keep fighting!
This was such a great way to make art with only the color grey! The poofy clouds kind of add a cheery vibe to the not sad but not happy vibes already going on 🤗😁
I love this, your videos are so different to other artists, they give me inspiration to draw, instead of making me think that I'll never be that good, and it always seems like you're enjoying yourself, which I very much hope you are, have a nice day!
Hi! My favorite color is gray. It's me. 😂 I did have to take color theory for this to happen... When I learned that mixing actual complementary colors doesn't make brown, it makes gray. I mixed an absolutely garrish orange and royal blue together and got the most delicate dove gray and my mind was blown. ❤
Here on behalf of your similar questions to many people. It won’t take people telling you your art is great. The praise will feel good for a little while, making you motivated to create all the art in the world (art being a general term as I’ve felt this in both writing and drawing). Eventually you’ll bump into burnout. But burnout doesn’t mean you should quit. Break are good, and if you’ve created a lot nonstop, then taking one might be a good thing (usually when I put down one hobby, I’ll pick up another-at the moment, I’m writing a lot more than drawing, but the last few months, I drew more than wrote). But don’t just give up. If you really love creating art, you should keep trying to do it (plenty of videos all over the internet about getting motivation to draw/wanting to do so again). Even if it’s hard, you should still work at it if it’s something you love. If you’re in that “grey/gray, just existing” stage/mindset, then you should probably focus on your mental and physical health before obsessing over your art.
Light grey and light yellow are my favorite colors. Light grey reminds me of calmness and peace. It's interesting how our brains relate things to colors and its different for everyone.
Not me yelling “nooooooo” when you hit the face with that posca pen 😆 I’m glad that the double bypass face transplant went well! It came out great! (Or well grey!) *edits for sp*
Because I’ve been a pencil artist for like 5 years now, I’ve gained this ability to look at something in colour and be able to tell what pencil shade (2H, HB, 4B, etc) I’d need to use
Rin: * talk about how she want to stylized the cloud * Me: someone need to tell her about Mega Mendung batik pattern (Mega mendung litterally translate to cloudy clouds)
I wear a lot of gray and this character is beautiful. I also love shiny things, so I was loving watching you work on this piece. I quite enjoyed how you placed your own feelings about gray and existence into it at the end. She simply could not be allowed to have a smile, that in itself is sad... and to be given a new face to fit in. A gray cycle... in an abyss of loneliness and blah, never knowing how to exist. My kind of art- gorgeous.
This makes me want to try the same challenge with all of my white art supplies on black paper and use the different opacities to get tonal variance. Thank you for another wonderful video!
This video relates to me atm. Ever since 2019 ive been really sad and ive though about ‘giving up in life’ but whenever I watch this, I feel like im not alone so thank you. ❤️❤️
I’m only 3 mins into the video but I would love to see a final draft grayscale of the “flower/plant” thumbnail! Plants and flowers are almost always represented as colorful so it would be awesome seeing them completely grey. It would also fit the narrative that when you’re feeling grey it’s hard to see the color in life around you.
idea: put a bunch of emotions in a hat (eg; angry, sad, happy, scared, embarrassed). Draw the sketch/outline. and THEN pick an emotion. So the emotion comes from the colouring or added extras. I think it would be a good test and use of colour theory
oh wow that is such a cool idea!
yo that sounds really fun
Great idea 🙃
that's honestly a great idea
I’m sorry but I don’t understand
A tip for the people who have to swatch their colours every time they use:-
Cut out 1cm×1cm boxes (small basically) from your sketchbook paper (or the paper you use usually) and make swatches on those cut out boxes. And then tape them to the barrel of your marker... You'll never need anymore swatching!
I personally use water based markers. So I've taped the swatch of the marker and the swatch of water mixed version of it.
It helps with taking out the desired colour with having to test them all
Nice tip. I have Copic markers for skin tones and it took me a while to find one that works for certain characters I have made.
@@charlesrodriguez7984 Ah! Glad you found this helpful 🤍
@@charlesrodriguez7984 And the tape would not allow the colours to change over time on the swatch badge. It would we archival!
The hard part is having the patience to do that on every single marker😿
@@acidicrainbow7754 no, it doesn't take that long... Sit down and have it done... And it's one time investment, you'll never have to do that again

I also draw and I love expressing my feelings through drawing 2020 was also very hard for me and there was a lot of being crumpled on the floor in grungy clothes also. I lost my dad to covid and it was worst time of my life but I know others have gone through this and I'm not alone. I love the finished artwork it looks amazing. Take care rin ♥️
thats so sad...
when I have an art block, looking at your videos motivates me so much.. ty!
I love the result so much, the contrast is spectacular, and the silver is just amazing how it glows. You achieved some amazing depth too, with the shading in the girl and the clouds! This is definitely one of my favorite pieces you've ever created
I was missing this series, I feel like every colour has been used by now though, this may be the last, oh well, I can always rewatch!
hehehe there you go! ❤ glad you enjoyed the series!
@@drawingwiffwaffles I did!
@Gay Potato oh my gosh that would be so good though!
@Gay Potato YESSS
@@drawingwiffwaffles some more ideas I got are using all peaches? I'm not sure if you've done that,, and also an idea that I'm not sure will work or if you've done- using all _blacks_ , but using different shines opacity etc to not make it plain black 👁️👄👁️
it's amazing how no matter what my mood is you get me to feel like doing art. It's amazing thank you.
yess I've missed these "using every __ art supply" videos !! I love learning abt contrast and values :D
Glad you like them!
@@drawingwiffwaffles ahh
2:50 that sketch just really captures how I am feeling at this point in my life
existing, life everywhere around me, but I'm just.. gray
you are not alone. reach out to people who can help and try not to let it stop you from experiencing things. For me, its such a powerful overwhelming thing that tries to stop me from conquering it. Sometimes it helps me to know that it only has power over me if I let it, so when I feel this desire to not experience things that will help, I know that its the darkness scared of losing me. Not actually me losing love for living. I'll be thinking of you. Keep fighting!
@@drawingwiffwaffles thank you, Rin. From the bottom of my heart. ♡
Gorgeous outcome! This was such a good lesson as an artist, that right when we think we've ruined something, it can be saved!
This was such a great way to make art with only the color grey! The poofy clouds kind of add a cheery vibe to the not sad but not happy vibes already going on 🤗😁
I love grey, it's mysterious, calm, deep, like a raging storm, and like a quiet pool
Everything looks good with grey, black, white, and red. Those colors go with everything.
She may be all gray, but the drawn character for this one is really pretty
Your thumbnail spread looks like a masterpiece 🔥
Hi temi
Omg!! 2and!
Hello Temi!!
I know right she makes amazing thumbnails! And hi temi! Love your vids and art
11:40
U can ignore this lol
I liked the original slight smile, to me it indicated a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm enjoying watching your vids!
I love this, your videos are so different to other artists, they give me inspiration to draw, instead of making me think that I'll never be that good, and it always seems like you're enjoying yourself, which I very much hope you are, have a nice day!
Waffles: Grabs paper for face... Me: That girl's getting a mask... Waffles: Err no, she's getting a whole new face!
Hi! My favorite color is gray. It's me. 😂
I did have to take color theory for this to happen... When I learned that mixing actual complementary colors doesn't make brown, it makes gray. I mixed an absolutely garrish orange and royal blue together and got the most delicate dove gray and my mind was blown. ❤
This is actually my favorite art piece you’ve ever made! Love the gray
I’m definitely in that “gray, just existing” stage right now so I understand how you feel
Here on behalf of your similar questions to many people.
It won’t take people telling you your art is great.
The praise will feel good for a little while, making you motivated to create all the art in the world (art being a general term as I’ve felt this in both writing and drawing). Eventually you’ll bump into burnout.
But burnout doesn’t mean you should quit.
Break are good, and if you’ve created a lot nonstop, then taking one might be a good thing (usually when I put down one hobby, I’ll pick up another-at the moment, I’m writing a lot more than drawing, but the last few months, I drew more than wrote).
But don’t just give up. If you really love creating art, you should keep trying to do it (plenty of videos all over the internet about getting motivation to draw/wanting to do so again). Even if it’s hard, you should still work at it if it’s something you love.
If you’re in that “grey/gray, just existing” stage/mindset, then you should probably focus on your mental and physical health before obsessing over your art.
Gray is a lovely color; it's really nice for interior design. I think it's very underrated actually.
Love how it turned out!
This was requested so much, Catherine!! You made my day less grayer!
Catherine ?
I didn't know that was her name 😅
@@justflamingo4114 nor me. But it makes sense x
Yeah , now that I think of it , that makes sense 😂
@@justflamingo4114 i thought her name was rin
I'm really excited for this I really like, like dark grey type colors
Light grey and light yellow are my favorite colors. Light grey reminds me of calmness and peace. It's interesting how our brains relate things to colors and its different for everyone.
Not me yelling “nooooooo” when you hit the face with that posca pen 😆 I’m glad that the double bypass face transplant went well! It came out great! (Or well grey!) *edits for sp*
“It would be hard to find someone who’s favorite color is grey”
My friend: 🗿
Because I’ve been a pencil artist for like 5 years now, I’ve gained this ability to look at something in colour and be able to tell what pencil shade (2H, HB, 4B, etc) I’d need to use

Rin: * talk about how she want to stylized the cloud *
Me: someone need to tell her about Mega Mendung batik pattern (Mega mendung litterally translate to cloudy clouds)
um what?!?!?
okay, i looked it up. those are cool but not what I was looking for exactly. but thanks for sharing something new for me to explore!!
@@drawingwiffwaffles oh my... you replied my comment-
But yeah no problem 😁
"But like a good little idiot I continued to follow the dumb rules I had set for myself" basically describes my whole life. 😂😂😂
I wear a lot of gray and this character is beautiful. I also love shiny things, so I was loving watching you work on this piece. I quite enjoyed how you placed your own feelings about gray and existence into it at the end. She simply could not be allowed to have a smile, that in itself is sad... and to be given a new face to fit in. A gray cycle... in an abyss of loneliness and blah, never knowing how to exist. My kind of art- gorgeous.
"Nothing else metals" is a play on "nothing else matters" lol.
By Metallica 🤭
Yeah, when she read that I said to myself, "I think that's a reference to Metallica, haha" 🤘🎸
Lol
This makes me want to try the same challenge with all of my white art supplies on black paper and use the different opacities to get tonal variance. Thank you for another wonderful video!
This video relates to me atm. Ever since 2019 ive been really sad and ive though about ‘giving up in life’ but whenever I watch this, I feel like im not alone so thank you. ❤️❤️
I’m only 3 mins into the video but I would love to see a final draft grayscale of the “flower/plant” thumbnail! Plants and flowers are almost always represented as colorful so it would be awesome seeing them completely grey. It would also fit the narrative that when you’re feeling grey it’s hard to see the color in life around you.
"So hey."
And that's how you know that something great is about to happen.
