hi everyone thanks for joining us for this AGA live drawing demo with Haley

0:21

Finney my name is Liz Hill on the programming an engagement coordinator here at the HEA

0:27

and I’m excited to be here today with Ely Finney and HEA curator Lindsay

0:32

Sharman Haley Phineas newest installation the ghost of the mink make makes a big spirit is presented by

0:38

capital power and can be seen in Manning hall at the HEA and today Lindsay and

0:44

Haley will be talking a bit about that insulation and also he will be demoing for us some drawings so quickly before I

0:52

turn it over to Lindsay and Hayley I just want to cover some housekeeping about this webinar platform if you have

1:00

any issue with your connection there’s a little red reconnect button at the top of your screen and you can just hit that

1:05

and it should refresh may or may not help but it is at least something that can help if you’re having some some

1:12

trouble connecting on the right hand side you’ll also see a chat box so you

1:17

can enter any comments or questions there we probably respond in two questions during the demo but at the end

1:24

we can wrap up with a few questions and [Music] more ado I’ll turn it over to Lindsay

1:31

and Hayley yeah so I’m Lindsay Sherman

1:37

the curator here at the HEA I’m very happy to be here with green today we are

1:45

in the same building but for different ends of the building so we are both

1:50

actually at the age a very excited to have him showing us how to draw today so

1:58

Hayley is an emerging maytee artist currently based in Edmonton Alberta she

2:03

received her degree from au Arts in 2017 where she majored in drawing also

2:09

graduated from hewing University in 2014 with a diploma in Fine Arts she was born and raised in lesser slave

2:17

rate Lake region of Alberta Hayley creates a mythology of characters who

2:22

live in a simplified storybook version of her home town the band of character

2:28

plays out non-linear idiosyncratic narratives that are expressed through animations costumes drawings paintings

2:36

performances and other objects hailey also practices tattooing and is the

2:44

latest member of the Zissou on collective congratulations thank you so

2:50

as I mentioned Haley and I are here together at the Art Gallery of Alberta which is located in Edmonton on treaty

2:58

six territory this is the National are the traditional land of diverse

3:03

indigenous peoples including Cree Blackfoot matey Nakota Sioux Iroquois

3:09

Danai Ojibwe Soto and Anishinabe so to help situate us here and to help with

3:17

this land acknowledgement the first drawing that Haley is going to do and

3:23

share with us is she’s going to draw three six so it’s sort of like a

3:29

callback to elementary school or where we learned how to draw all the provinces

3:36

yeah it definitely feels that way when I was practicing I guess to start whenever

3:42

I start drawing I start with this little like part of 26 I start with this little

3:47

like novel that comes up and then I kind of go down and it makes like this is

3:53

also not extremely accurate obviously but it makes kind of like a axe head shape kind of and then goes in and then

4:05

from there I take this line that goes downward and also start until it make a

4:12

little bit of like a small dog’s head and it goes down into like a I call it

4:20

like a belly and things like a funny belly and then kind of narrows in the

4:25

back a little bit and it comes back up into this kind of square shape and then

4:31

from the square shape it connects from the nub there and then I’m including

4:38

treaty ADA as well since that’s where my hometown is and it kind of starts down in front of

4:44

the nose and behind the ear and then it will like it Wiggles up all the way

4:50

around there and then it kind of it has this really straight line and then it kind of

4:57

Wiggles all the way back down into another straight line that continues and

5:02

then from that corner it Wiggles all the way back down and

5:08

ends up following the Rocky Mountains that the Alberta border ends up following as well so that’s just like

5:15

this is 26 this one is 8 and then

5:21

Alberta if you want to situate it with an Alberta borders I kind of cut I call

5:27

as a dog I cut the dog in half you can go straight up and stop about there

5:32

where I can connect the top border of Alberta and then I also cut this kind of

5:40

section part way and then this is the

5:45

Rocky Mountains and then it comes all the way back down and I keep calling this a stone but to this stump of

5:53

Alberta I don’t know if that makes you sad if you was there but I still like it

5:59

so this is kind of how its situated and then if you want to know where Edmonton is it’s kind of like where the eye of

6:06

the dog would be and then my hometown this would be like Slave Lake and then I

6:12

my hometown my little tiny hamlet it is about like right there like on the

6:18

border yeah it’s really really close actually I think like part of the lake at least in the maps that I was looking

6:24

at like touches the border basically mm-hm yeah so yeah that’s my kind of

6:31

quick drawing of the treaties

6:37

that’s really great thanks yeah so we’re

6:43

here I’m talking in celebration of the opening of the ghosts of the minke make

6:51

the Vegas spirit so this is a huge mural one of the first things that

6:58

you see actually when you when you come to the gallery and it’s also its visible

7:03

like right from the entrance and so you don’t even have to pay admission to come

7:09

see it and we are open now three days a week and so you’re everybody can come

7:16

and and have a look at the project that you’ve done so the actual image itself

7:23

is this kind of rolling billowing tumbling cloud and out of this black

7:33

grey brown form emerges legs tails heads

7:43

different parts of an animal on this

7:49

image as with most of your projects is related to growing up he in Canyon Creek

7:55

which is your tiny town on the border there that you’ve just drawn for us which is on the southern shore of lesser

8:03

Slave Lake and I think the initial seed of this idea came from smoke so I wonder

8:14

if you would show us how you draw a smoke yeah for sure

8:23

so the way I draw smoke it’s pretty simple and cartoony so I think that

8:30

helps and I know smoke can be like a little bit of a funny thing to try to draw it so I guess the way to draw smoke

8:35

as I start making these like plastic shapes and I end up calling them like

8:42

bumps all the time that way like Blanc’s I don’t know all the ways I realize I

8:49

described how my draw like don’t actually make a ton of sense but like

8:55

start drawing these like cloud shapes and they don’t all necessarily like

9:01

connect to really like well they kind of like cut into each other

9:07

and then some of them show more like a roundness and some of them are only like half and I kind of go like that and then

9:16

if we continue to like make this drawing

9:21

this like cloud shape come from somewhere it ends up almost looking like soft-serve ice cream or something and I

9:30

don’t know I’ll put this to a point like as if it’s coming from like up fire person I’ll just draw like a little fire

9:36

dome yeah so this is like a general

9:41

shape you can like even though you’ve drawn these borders you can always add like more cloud shapes around it to

9:48

expand it so after I do that I guess I add more things in swampy circles kind

9:55

of randomly and it can like vary in size and it ends up making on this like weird

10:00

kind of cartoony shape and then from

10:06

there I think what really makes something look like smoke I used a little like hairlines all the time but I

10:14

think those actually kind of give it a lot of like movement and direction so a good way to start how I always start and

10:21

how I figured this out is I just follow the shape of one of these round parts with a fine line pin and I just make all

10:29

these little lines and I feel like smoke

10:34

is definitely something or you don’t really have to worry about if you like make a mistake because there’s not

10:40

really a proper way to draw smoke so we’re following that you can change it up and we can add more round shapes

10:47

within by just like making it up with these lines if that makes any sense so

10:55

like well just like form another circle here and then follow it with all the

11:02

other lines you kind of like make new lines with all these tiny little lines like as if it’s like a bunch of like

11:09

where to cut lines when you make a craft and then these can kind of follow into

11:15

another blobby circle and kind of follow

11:20

that and then you can take this like s shape and you can take kind of a random area

11:28

and just make lines that start coming out of there and kind of end up following another shape but the thing

11:36

about those two is you don’t have to necessarily follow each like circle each blog you don’t have to follow it you can

11:43

take the lines and go straight head into like another like blump so that it runs

11:50

into the border and I feel like if you make the lines up and hit the border it

11:56

kind of ends up making the circles feel like it’s kind of turning so but if you

12:05

like put the lines and they didn’t touch the border it would look way more flat so I guess that’s kind of a difference I

12:12

think the most important part about these lines is that you just keep them

12:18

in a rounded shape no matter what you do as soon as you like let them go flat you’re drawing spinning stop moving or

12:26

stop looking rounded and you also don’t have to put you know to fill the whole

12:31

shape with these lines too because I can like kind of taper them off by putting

12:36

them further away I’ll show you with this kind of area here I’ll just put a

12:43

few there and then further leave a little less and then a little less and

12:51

it kind of ends up making this round shape and then as you go I can get

12:57

guides your like itself you can kind of decide where you want to continue the shapes like this is going this way so

13:03

maybe I’ll continue this like turn and I can make it even sharper and make a

13:09

small circle there like that and then just follow that and maybe I’ll have

13:15

this one taper off yeah and you can also kind of treat these little lines as if

13:22

they’re shadows or like shading too so

13:28

yes an example would be at the edge of this block

13:33

it would put some here I kind of follow it but then taper off kind of soon so

13:40

that it kind of just kind of blends into those ones but looks like a shadow and

13:46

then you can kind of do that not even within the rounded part you can put the lines underneath a Blanc shape and then

13:55

it becomes a shadow as well and then if you don’t put any lines in this area and

14:02

you just kind of have lines that kind of taper into it having somewhere that has

14:09

no lines also makes a highlight if you have a bunch of lines underneath it and

14:16

one of the things that I find really interesting about the piece that you have in Manning Hall right now is that I

14:24

mean I described it as a mural but you you didn’t create it large like it’s not

14:31

it’s not painted like directly on the wall or anything it was drawn fairly

14:37

small in comparison and then blown up huge and so I think it’s really cool to

14:42

be able to see the very fine detail in like you know you’ll get like a little

14:48

brush mark that’s actually like been you know scaled up to like a foot yeah I

14:56

think that’s really interesting too because like how I’m drawing this now is about the size understand a really big

15:02

piece of paper but all these lines are about the size that they originally were

15:07

and these circles are about the size that they originally were and yeah it’s just really it’s cut at first I like a

15:15

little nervous I was like I wonder how this will look so much bigger because what I’m doing is fine detail now it’s

15:23

gonna be so big I mean they’re federal translate really well but I think it does make a really interesting thing and

15:30

also just like the way like a giant paint stroke does kind of look like or

15:36

like can be similar to smoke mm-hmm you think about it it turned out work you

15:43

know really well going from such a small drawing to so big and so when we were when we were talking

15:49

about smoke in this project you were sharing a little bit of this like idea

15:56

of smoke and something that is inviting

16:02

and sort of a signifier of socializing but it’s also a signifier of disaster

16:12

so could you could you share a little bit about that kind of dual quality of the smoke yeah um so yeah like I think

16:22

like most people the idea of like the smell of like campfire smoke and seeing

16:28

smoke like not a huge cloud but like a reasonable kind of smoke kind of you

16:34

know that it’s probably somebody’s campfire and if you lived somewhere similar like where I do where everybody

16:40

could knows each other that’s like almost an invitation to come over yeah I

16:45

grew up somewhere where my parents always put like fires like have a fire

16:51

and then friends just kind of show up they just see it and then they come over and they hang out with my parents so

16:57

yeah it’s definitely familiar and comforting and then even the way I grew up we heated our house with the wood

17:04

stove because our trailer didn’t have any heat so like smoke and that sense was a really comforting smell you know

17:10

their house always smelled like smoke but then when it was the slave like fire

17:17

I was actually at the campsite and I ended up getting stranded there because

17:23

my auntie and uncle who could drive went and picked up supplies and then ended up

17:28

getting cut off and couldn’t come back and then the camps I got evacuated but

17:34

we didn’t have the radio anymore I think it I don’t know how they knew was evacuated because the video burnt down

17:40

and you know stuck there with my grandma grandpa and my little cousin and then

17:46

all of this smoke like you know how it gets here in the summer when it gets

17:51

like smoky it’s like very yellow and all that stuff it was like that for like really intense like it I could feel like

17:59

walking through this and of course that like stains your skin

18:04

in your hair and later it ended up being fine but when we went to like wash our

18:10

faces before bed when we finally like ended up getting out of there the like

18:17

white face cause for yellow and then we started with this like weird smoke smell

18:23

which is like kind of similar but different to when you’re around a campfire you get like stained with like

18:31

a smoke smell that smells nice and it’s like you’re like you might be making

18:37

your hair for days and it’s kind of like a nice memory like when you’re with your

18:43

friends but yeah so I can totally like when I was running through it it can like make it hard to bring it and choke

18:49

you even when you’re around the campfire you can get in your eyes and you like tear up and like your eyes cry a whole

18:56

bunch they can do all these different things to you even if it’s like it’s nostalgic like comforting kind of thing

19:02

that’s like friendly yeah I kind of ended up relating or using smoke as a

19:07

metaphor or like grieving because even when you’re like grieving somebody and

19:13

it’s a really comforting feeling it can still kind of like that to you mm-hmm

19:19

I’m kind of emotional way and then grief and so it can go like smell from the

19:24

candle to like really big and like take up a whole town or a whole area so I

19:32

think like grief kind of is in people’s lives at least for me like that where it can be like something small to and it

19:41

can grow into something bigger and it’s kind of like unpredictable – sometimes I

19:47

just close wherever it wants – yeah and there’s like certain things like wind that will make it like so much bigger

19:55

like that’s the reason why the like fire got so big was because of the wind hmm yeah I just found it was like a

20:01

really great metaphor for like grief and all that kind of stuff so in the project

20:12

here in that smoke you have images of me yeah

20:20

did you want to draw main course yeah sure I’ll stop with this smoke I feel

20:25

like I could go on forever and ever I’ll put it to the side again if I feel like

20:31

it um yeah so mink basically I draw I

20:38

mean kind of like a dog but I give it a really long body so suppose I draw a mink

20:43

I it’s if I draw the body to swear get the dog so now let’s start with the ears

20:51

I’ve noticed so there’s two little lungs that is you know I’m not really sure I

20:59

think even when I draw faces I start with an odd spot which is like the mouth

21:06

facialist over the eye so I’m not really sure where is or the ears maybe I’ll have to like really think

21:13

about it woman as I’m drawing more yeah and then I try to smell and I’m really

21:18

bad at practically making all my animals notes look like pigs so I’m really try did not look like a pig so I kind of

21:28

give it a little nose and I leave the mouth open lots of time and then let’s

21:34

see I kind of bring this down he’s like a tube neck I don’t think their necks should be thinner than their heads so

21:42

then after that I get about that far and I figure out where I want to put the arms and because it’s like a long animal

21:49

it kind of doesn’t matter like if you put the arms away too low or like anywhere so it’s kinda like make some

21:56

cream I couldn’t give them long arms and I do three little notches for a pause it

22:02

go up and then I connect that together and throw the other arm in there and

22:12

they’re like long and skinny kind of like a ferret yeah I kind of draw like

22:18

mink weasels there’s like they’re all kind of like really similar I think what

22:24

makes a mink is just that I call the mink so then from there like you could like

22:30

me the short body you can kind of turn this into lots of different kinds of animals but I kind of just try to make

22:36

the Bobby like really long I’m gonna go extreme so I don’t accidently just draw a dog or something but then I follow

22:43

this line like a funny stomach but

22:51

that’s okay and then from there I’m gonna like turn this down cuz that’s the

22:57

end of his body my favorite part is to draw their like back legs so you just

23:04

kind of make another blonde place in the cloud and then you’ve got this like end of the body that you can kinda like go

23:12

straight down or like cut it off so it doesn’t make a perfect circle and then

23:20

this is like the hard part it took me like a little while to figure out sometimes I still get confused about back legs but you kind of make this

23:27

weird like chicken leg shape but instead of it going straight out to a foot you

23:32

have to give it like another turn and then then that becomes a paw and then

23:40

let’s see this nice shape and you’re fighting it but that’s okay and then I

23:49

just kind of like shadow that and then that like a little small but it’s like colored in black to be a shadow like

23:56

that that side of the leg is really dark for some reason I think you can totally

24:04

like adjust it and make it work for you

24:10

[Music] yeah I use it all the time I think one

24:17

thing that when people can’t draw they think if they make a mistake it’s over but you can totally just like correct it

24:22

and everybody will believe and then I’m

24:30

gonna give them a tail it’s a long tail it’s not long I usually got a really

24:35

short I don’t know why and then I usually do a little wine with a mouth I think it’s just like

24:42

something I prefer and I give them a eyebrows all the time and from there

24:48

stars like really weird but I think it’s fine from there I use my like fine liner pen

24:55

and where I’d put the hairs would be I always put hairs underneath my eyes and

25:02

if there’s room I put them over top as well and then I always put lines like little hair lines going from the nose

25:07

and they end up I and then I might put some behind my mouth as well and then

25:15

just to like differentiate the head and give it something roundness I couldn’t put the lines like kind of like a cheek

25:22

in a round shape back just so he has like a little bit of form and you can

25:30

fill this whole thing with lines and like kind of follow the body how do you think it should go or you can use the

25:36

legs like shading and put lines just on like the edges of where the arms and

25:44

like bodies are aware it could be shadow and throw a bit elsewhere so it doesn’t

25:49

just look like shading it looks like his hairs I did this on the legs well that’s

25:59

nice like thick part of his leg I always do that on there like lumps as well this

26:05

like lower part I don’t know what it is but I really love drawing though I live like this you know in shapes and you can

26:11

make their legs really giant I don’t know why I like it so much but yeah so I

26:18

kind of like follow if I’m going to do like the hair directions going like up

26:25

to down I’ll follow that same method throughout the rest of like his form but

26:33

sometimes I go the opposite and I just follow that same direction for the rest of this moment and I don’t think it

26:38

really makes much of a difference to like how your drawing looks it’s just kind of like comes up how what’s

26:45

direction you end up wanting to go why am i I mean Oh

26:53

chose the mink because in my hometown there was mink farms and I was always

26:59

aware of it even really before I knew what that meant because there’s all these cages and like

27:07

by the beach big cages and I sorry yeah

27:19

there’s all these mid cages by the beach you might always walk by them and then just kind of as you get older you kind

27:26

of learn more and there you see mink farms in my hometown which is really

27:32

interesting so like they farming and then the fur be sold to make fur coats and every kind of person that grew up at

27:41

that time have stories about it my grandparents would talk about it my art teacher had the tip of her finger bit

27:47

off by a mink she’s younger all this different stuff and then recently I found out that my grandma actually like

27:56

worked like with the mink farming you see like prep the skin

28:01

she didn’t skin them she prepped it before they went out and yeah she just

28:07

told me that they worked in a little shack and there was two of them and it was like a seasonal job and yeah my mom

28:16

the reason I found out is because my mom kind of randomly was like oh I remember went down that you still like do the mink skins she’d come home and I’d be so

28:23

stinky like they stunk but then my grandma told me that like and my mom

28:29

told me like what the oils from the skin would like really soften up her hands you know like the softest hands for that

28:36

season and it was run by this guy who was like kind of fishy like he’s never

28:42

done or said anything like extremely bad in the community but like he like had this huge business and Canyon Creek and

28:49

around all the mink farms neon multiple little houses and yeah he’s just kind of

28:54

like this mysterious like a year that when I was little he would wander around the area and go for walks with his dogs

29:01

but I always felt like nobody really knew much about him so he’s a little bit like misty

29:07

is scary also there’s also this like mystery that kind of goes along with the

29:14

mink in their morning yeah for sure and so in the end the

29:20

project that you have here this like form that the mink are in it is smoke

29:28

but it’s also you describe as a spear in it

29:34

and you did mention that you kind of have this relationship smoke and

29:39

grieving and so there’s kind of this idea of absence in the smoke and so I

29:47

wonder if you could just talk a little bit about this kind of duality between

29:52

smoke and spirit or ghosts in this project yeah

30:00

so because of the mink farm there’s obviously so many means that Lee died

30:06

there’s so many cages so I kind of thought I was working with smoke for a

30:12

couple of months before I decided to make this and I need the smoke into this like spirit but it didn’t really have

30:18

like a much to it and then I when I was learning about my family’s involvement

30:24

and the mink farming I kind of put together this idea that be like smoke

30:31

could be made up of all these like ghosts of mink that like died in the

30:36

mink farming and it’s not like mink with in smoke like the whole the whole idea

30:45

of like the body of smoke would be made up of all these mink and they can like grow and shrink and you know the way

30:51

they move their bodies is like Wiggly like smoke and all that stuff so yeah

31:00

and then the idea was spirits is like I have that whole mythology of my

31:06

characters and the spirit kind of exists in their world I end up making like lots

31:12

of lore and tales about that’s around my hometown or like are about my hometown

31:18

and make like a copy of my town business so they exist in that kind

31:24

of world that I’ve made and yeah they I

31:30

went yeah so the internal I gather my thoughts now smokers made up of all the

31:37

mink which are ghosts so like and the smoke is a metaphor for grieving and

31:43

when it’s made up of ghosts I think that just kind of like makes it just kind of came together made sense yeah I think

31:57

that we maybe just have time for maybe one more quick drawing this time has

32:05

just flown so was there we had planned

32:14

for for a few more drawings but was there one that you were particularly

32:19

interested in drawing for us before we wrap up um yeah I guess um everybody

32:28

usually likes lunette a lot so maybe I’ll draw a Luna head but if you have

32:34

questions that are like more to do with any other part that’s not specifically

32:40

when that just let me know and I can probably draw a quick sketch of the character or whoever you’re talking about no you go ahead and draw draw the

32:48

net but while you’re drying maybe did

32:53

you want to expand a little bit more on the kind of notions of like duality or

33:02

like hybridity like I feel like in most of your work in most of your characters

33:09

and in the project downstairs there is always this kind of double play

33:17

whether it’s like dual meaning of things like the smoke mixed with ghosts whether

33:26

it’s smoke as danger but also something that’s like inviting

33:33

your characters are oftentimes hybrids of like human animal or there may be

33:42

like doppelgangers of people in real life or characters in real life so did

33:47

you want to maybe kind of expand on that kind of idea of it

33:53

yeah and him try to do that I feel like it’s a little bit like complicated for

33:58

myself as well to like fully figure out because I feel like that like duality

34:03

thing is so present in my work that I’m still trying to like figure out it it

34:10

exactly I mean but yeah all my characters are like combos of like people and animals I

34:17

think they ended up making them like that because I didn’t know what I like

34:22

drawing people but I don’t really like using them as like like in my art because they they can like reference to

34:29

somebody like too specific I feel like I didn’t want anything like really specific being there but they are

34:39

influenced by yeah the people that I grew up with and my family friends I

34:45

have one character they ended up making

34:57

after like one of my parents friends and yeah just kind of inspired by like their

35:03

attitude and like the way their life kind of ends up going yeah so they’re

35:08

all different versions of my hometown and they make like my hometown as like a

35:15

copy of I make my mythology as a copy of my hometown and I think a lot of that

35:22

has to do with the idea of ghosts being a kind of a type of come with the word

35:30

it’s like it is almost like a duel a copy of or different version of a person

35:38

or an animal or something so I think it’s like very heavily inspired by the idea of like having a

35:45

afterlife or how a I don’t know yeah like that afterlife

35:52

or so some other place where you go yeah I’m still like exploring like quite a

35:58

bit mm-hmm what were some of the other points that you were talking about I

36:04

feel like I like dropped like a very

36:14

yeah I think it’s I think it’s like interesting that it’s maybe like

36:22

developing your kind of experience of loss or death and sort of maybe kind of

36:33

like reckoning with like those huge questions of life is like you know

36:39

what’s kind of beyond this or sort of outside of our understanding I guess

36:46

yeah yeah I definitely feel like I’m trying to understand where all that like

36:52

information goes that the person kind of takes with them and all that stuff mm-hmm

36:57

and also like making a version another version of I don’t know a place that I’m

37:05

really familiar with and my whole family is familiar with and kind of adding like

37:11

a war to it that because Oakland towns have like funny stories and lots of them are like unbelievable even though

37:18

they’re real interested in but yeah I guess kind of also creating another

37:23

version where like I actually know everything because yeah I feel like I

37:29

want to understand my hometown or than I do but I don’t know if that’s ever

37:36

possible because they can’t live the same like life experiences as my like

37:42

grandparents did or my parents cuz we all came from the same hometown I’m kind of like I’m trying to understand all

37:50

that kind of information of this high place yeah something of like kind of grappling

37:57

with your relationship to of that you have in childhood yeah and like

38:05

I come from a small town too and so like I kind of understand this like weird

38:11

more that happens in these small towns

38:17

like these these stories that are like absolutely unbelievable but are absolutely screw and I think also those

38:25

moments of like thinking back on your childhood and having those those weird

38:31

queries where you’re like oh yes this thing just seems completely reasonable

38:39

like think back on it like as an adults you kind of really get an understanding

38:44

of like the weirdness of it perhaps yeah and I guess I’m making it even weirder

38:50

when I like to make my own version and I definitely totally understand and got that feeling when I moved away to the

38:55

city and then I would tell people about how I grew up and it’s just kind of like totally not normal

39:03

totally not the average way of people doing up but yeah yeah kind of strange

39:09

strangeness to it maybe um maybe we’ll

39:18

get the Liz to come back and see if there’s any any questions from audience

39:25

if she’s been monitoring it hi Liz I don’t see any questions here but if

39:32

anyone has anything in mind just want to type it in quickly we can try and get to

39:38

one or two sorry what were you to say no

39:45

go ahead if we’re waiting for questions I’ll just like talk about maybe blue net since I’m drawing her quickly yeah the

39:53

question can interrupt me but I guess lunette is one of my characters from like this like group of

40:00

characters that are all like friends and lived together in an ice shack that moves on its own every season and

40:06

Loonette is this like she’s kind of the last member to join so when we are with the other members they’re all

40:13

and they’re already and we don’t know how they found each other but lunette is the one that kind of kicks off the story and she’s a ghost

40:20

from this like deep forest and she’s so she’s been dead for so long that she

40:26

can’t remember like which animals used to be and she has kind of like this

40:31

extra like I don’t know like a power to Mary like the other ghosts are just the usual chic ghosts but she’s like really

40:36

like I don’t know what it is but she’s like really magical and she kind of forces her way into the group even

40:42

though they’re all really scared of her and they eventually end up liking her and yeah she speaks like nobody

40:51

understands what she says she speaks really strangely I think she speaks kind of like backwards and yeah I think they

40:58

did that because I used to have a stutter when I was growing up so slow seeing it a lot myself in a weird way

41:07

totally modeled after like my own weird maybe my feeling of like growing up at

41:14

the home town like having a stutter and being like a big weirdo she was like

41:22

your self-portrait yeah but yeah I don’t

41:29

think I’ve ever told anybody that before it’s just kind of funny thanks for sharing with yeah she is

41:41

I feel like she’s everybody’s favorite so that’s I want to try to talk today

41:49

did you have any other questions or anything no I’m just like I just enjoy

41:55

watching your truck so glad because now

42:01

I’m drawing I like can’t like stop and like look up at the camera it’s just

42:09

really it’s always really I think enjoyable to watch somebody who can do

42:18

something very well like the ease with

42:24

which you drawers is really really great

42:30

thank you on that I do have one question

42:35

member what makes a drawing good or great or is there such a thing as said

42:42

to be good a great drug I think that I

42:48

really love when people who don’t normally jar see they can’t draw draw I

42:53

always ask how my friends who can’t draw I want them to like draw me a picture so I don’t think that there’s ever like

42:59

such thing as like this is a great drawing and this is a bad drawing I think if you’re like trying and you make

43:08

mistakes and sometimes the mistakes ends up end up working and like sometimes like you can cover them up really easily

43:14

I really don’t think there’s such thing as like bad drawing and I always want everybody to try drawing even if they

43:20

think they’re terrible because I think also people who make bad drawings they’re making like the best drawings I

43:28

don’t know that answer the question but that’s how I feel I like a very strong stance I’m always trying to get people

43:34

to draw for me well I think we’re time
