Drawing Simple Eyes: A How to Video Coming Thursday August 13, 2015

My latest how to draw video featured realistic looking eyes. Days after I filmed this video, I was sitting in geometry class learning about circles and arcs. I began to doodle using the types of lines I was learning about, and realized I could create eyes with circles and arcs! When I got home, I redrew the eyes with my camera recording.

The photo above shows the three types of eyes I came up with. The one on the far right has straight lines as well as arcs. I will go into more detail of how these eyes contain circles and arcs in the video this Thursday.

After a while, I worried that these eyes might be too simple for a how to video. I wanted to add something else about eyes. One idea I have is to show how to use these types of eyes as an iris, and turn them into more complex eyes. My second idea is to talk about eyes looking in different directions. The photo below shows a sketch of the second idea from my whiteboard. Please comment below if you think I should add either of these two ideas to the video, or both.

 

Announcing: Future Posts about My How to Draw Videos

 

 

 

Right now, I have multiple ideas and footage for upcoming how to draw videos. The picture above shows some of the drawings that will be featured in future videos. I would like to write a few blog posts about my ideas in order to get feedback before I post the videos.

 

Also, there are a few videos that I posted to my channel before I created my blog or did not post about. The photo below shows some of my artwork from my published how to videos. I am going to write posts about old videos as well.

 

Between old and upcoming videos, as well as sketches I did off camera, I hope to be able to update my blog more often. The posts will probably still be published on random dates, though I have been uploading videos on YouTube every other Thursday. My channel name is Varietygirl1.



 

Please comment below about what you think of having more posts about my videos.

Exciting News: I am Starting an Uploading Schedule on YouTube!

It has been six months since I uploaded a YouTube video. I had been filming videos, but until I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro, I was struggling to edit them. Also, uploading YouTube videos requires a lot of time (unless the internet speed is very fast) and data. I could only upload in places with unlimited internet access. Recently, I not only got new editing software, but I also got the feature on YouTube where you can schedule posts. Now I can upload multiple videos when I have good internet access, and schedule them to publish at different times! Watch the video below to know how often I plan to publish videos:

What do you think of videos like this where I just talk to you? I was thinking of doing ones like this more often, as well as asking questions on social media (Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and YouTube under the name Varietygirl1). You can also leave comments on these blog posts.
