I love that Echo lives strongly by the idea that you dont need expensive supplies to make "good" art. As someone who also grew up in poverty, living in a mobile trailer home, it means a lot to see someone actually value cheap to mid-range art supplies😁
@Gay Potato do you watch kasey golden? She literally loves 99 cent crayola crayons
@Gay Potato There are so many dollar store or cheap art challenges video, just watch those for inspiration. Honestly, I see more of people whining their art suck cuz they don't have good supply when every single video say: it how you use the supply not what is the supply which mean work on your art and you don't need expensive supply. There only a few artist I seen use the $100 color pencil and even less use the $100 paint. Most youtuber use Prisma color (which are mid price) and arteza paint. The most expensive art supply a lot of people use are copic and posca marker. However, I haven't seen anyone trash the ouhua which is the cheap alternative and instead every praise them like crazy. If we get even cheaper, I hardly see any video dissing crayloa but just saying they aren't as good as $100 pencil but come on it like a $1 vs $100, you can;t expect them to win.
@Gay Potato I don;t find your comment CONDESCENDING. People always assume the worst of American but a lot of us are poor immigrant (or children of poor immigrant ) who came here for a better life. I was from a very poor country as well and we didn;t even have indoor plumbing when I live there. We are very privilege in America that I do agree. Being poor here is middle class in a lot of places. Anyway as long as you have passion for art, that all that matter. Growing up my parent never buy me art supply so I mostly draw with a pencil and any kind of paper I could get. Line, white, empty pages of book, etc I love to draw and just being able to draw was so much joy. I never care how bad my art was cuz I love it so much. It made me draw every day and I did get better from passion. A lot of youtuber only got better cuz they practice a lot out of love and passion for their art.
Remember art is about the passion, joy, and freedom to express your creativity. It doesn't matter how good it is to everyone, what material you use, but how much you love it. The more love and passion you got for your art then better it will get. If you want to improve, there a lot of online resource and pen and paper to practice. Some of the best artist (even on youtube) only draw with a ball point pen and paper. So don't feel your work is ever inferior as talent is not base in what you use but how you use it. Plus art is always about having fun and enjoying yourself.
Love seeing a video where the arteza set isn't counted as the "cheap" one in a comparison
That is a very well designed case. It's a shame that it doesn't include white. The highlights really make the eye standout.
It would be worth it to pay a tiny bit more for a tube of white gouache, or get a jelly roll pen! I think white correcting ink could work well too!
if anyone is watching this because they want to make good art without spending a lot of money, my advice is to get individual tubes or pans of colours, and then only get magenta, blue, yellow, black, and white. you can mix any colour as long as you have those :)
i would recommend getting magenta rather than red, because red doesn't make very pretty purples or pinks, and you can make magenta into red by adding a little yellow!
Echo has a video on this as well! It's how I learned that cyan, magenta, and yellow pigments can make any colour and are much more vibrant than the standard red, yellow, and blue
No, sir. You can mix your own shade or grey. Also, white is usually your paper or by thinning your paint with water. For highlights, I would suggest white gouache, white acrylic, or a white gel pen. There's more to color theory than just cmy for mixing. You should look up the color theory videos by Dr. Oto Kano here on youtube. Very informative!
Our Walmart sells a small “travel” water color set from Royal & Langnickle that is 10$ that has some surprisingly great colors. They’re very pigmented and the water brush that comes with it is pretty good.
I’m so happy echo is starting to like watercolor, makes me happy that my favorite artist likes my favorite supplies, also could you try turning a sunflower into an anime girl
Please try the “hack” where you make watercolors from water based markers
What about an anime girl, who is a paint palette? if you want to get meta...
very interesting to see these being compared without completely bashing the cheaper pallete. also, you should turn a macaron into an anime girl! :)
Man you captured this characters emotion. Even the grasp in the hands makes her so believable.
I once drew a little girl in a Narwhal costume and it was ADORABLE! I want to see a Narwhal inspired magical girl anime girl!
Thanks for this! I actually JUST invested in a new pallet myself. First I've bought in legit 20 years (I was super into water colors as a teenager but not so much till recently!) It's super exciting having SO MANY COLORS! My pallet from teen years was just a simple Crayola, which for the record is pretty good. Good pigments in Crayola products!
And today I learned that you can use white to make nice pastels in watercolor! Honestly very useful :)
As for anime girls, maybe something from your garden?
It would be interesting to see a pencil-based anime girl. Lots of options depending on what type of pencil you use (standard number 2, lead pencil, those pencils you can get from travel gift shops, etc.)
Personally I'd recommend getting a small collection of good paint rather than a large collection of mediocre or bad paint, if you have the option. A smaller selection will get you used to mixing colors, (a very important skill with watercolor) and give you an idea of wether or not you like the medium without spending a ton of money, but you still get to have high quality materials.
Also, and I will say this to my grave, paper is more important than paint. If even remotely possible, get cotton watercolor paper, not wood pulp. It makes such a massive difference, it's insane.
The unspoken skill you gain though watercolor is the ability to judge the quality of paper
@@Nublet864 This is the most incredibly true statement I've ever read in my entire life.
It's worth noting also that cheaper watercolor paints are usually dye based instead of pigment based, which can be important in some situations.
As for anime girl prompts, a series of halloween based anime girls. Bat, skeleton, spider, cat, etc.
The cheap palette has gotta be a Michael's item, I work at HL anf I've never seen that palette in the art section aka the section I lounge around in before I go home after a shift ^^'
Man it’s been May then 15 years since I last used watercolours, I should get my set back out and do something.
I worked for years with my aquafine 12 count (dalir rowney) and it was great, like it’s around 15$~ (saw it as chea as 10$) and I worked with that since 2016 or 15 and still use it as a portable watercolour set for trips, but last few months bought myself my most expensive and fancy art tool that I ever did except of my iPad -the 48 count Van Gogh water colour set, I got it on sale for 50$ but on Amazon it’s sells for 100$ but man this is fancy , like… you can feel the fancy vibration from across the room, do I need it? Not really. Do I love it as my child? ABSOLUTELY
Wow its really cool comming back to this channel. I use to watch your videos when I was in 3-5 grade but now I'm in 9th grade so it's been a while
More expensive materials make art easier, not better. If you have a vision and the drive, you can make anything *with* anything, that’s what’s important.
A birthday cake as a anime girl but it's one of those really colorful ones with the many sprinkles and frosting.
VHS tapes as an anime girl, so retro so cute :3
I recently got into watercolors and I love them!! I have the Derwent inktense travel watercolor pallets 1&2 and I can't recommend them enough. I used to hate watercolors because I only used the janky crayola ones but I've since learned that not all art supplies are made the same. Sometimes you gotta splurge to get good quality
I have a master's touch tin pallette, not as nearly as many colors, but I do like it a lot, I painted two pairs of galaxy shoes with it and a galaxy hat that I can't find. The Borrowers stole it.
I love when echo posts I've seen every video
An Animal Skull as an Anime girl would be cool
I'd like to see you turn your new house or some of the plants from your garden you showed us into anime girls :D
Watercolour HELL YEAH!
I watched Echo from 'she hates water color' to 'she likes water color'... times change so fast
Echo! You’re probably gonna want to try prang watercolors because they’re like 5 dollars and the way they preform feels borderline professional to me (the colors aren’t quite as vivid as professional ones but they’re on the way there for sure!) :D
_Random objects as Anime Girls suggestions:_ A scented oil diffuser, a pair of scissors, a lamp/chandelier/candle, an umbrella/parasol, a diamond, a knife/sword, a muffin, a book, or maybe a calligraphy pen. Lol, these are pretty random, but here they are anyway! ;p
You shouls try water color palettes vs watercolor pens and see which one is better. Your art is gorgeous and I loved your rainbow anime girl :). I think a good idea for an anime girl would be a bat, music box, or something not often associated with the anime girl trope. Or your flowy black pretty shirt!
I would absolutely love to see a Mushroom anime girl!
Quartz (like the gemstones) as an anime girl could be pretty cool. :)
I made a whole pokemon tarot deck outta cheap crayola water colors and cheap off brand water color pencils.... turned out very pretty!
I'm not big on water colour but I find it fun but I'm not going to do it long term tbh this video was very informative x
An Anime girl with a Potion head would be funky. You could make them witchy and give them a potion bottle body type too🧪
for $38 that arteza palette is great
Can you please make a mini-fridge as an anime girl? I'm off to college soon and that's my favorite appliance so far :)
I have been wanting to play with watercolor but just that, play. If I invested money I knew I would get antsy about actually using a set. Nice to know some keeper sets while lower quality wont be so completely frustrating as to ruin possible fun.
missed your art content!!!!! love u :)
Love your top! Cute drawing, too..
Anime girl ideas:
You could do an anime girl inspired by an Ivy plant or Blueberries :>
Love your videos (especially art) a lot, thanks for being our internet aunt! :) Also one of the first creators I heard and saw represent ace people, I’ve learnt what it means for some people who are ace. :)
I wonder if echo could do a video recommending beginners art supplies
A sketchbook as an anime girl
I’m looking at one of those big square fans that you can plug into the wall rn so that’s my suggestion for what you should turn into an anime girl
sprite (the soda) as an anime girl. the old blue and green can is pretty and i think the colors along with the logo (lemon/lime) would be interesting
You have given me so many awesome points, I'd like to cash them in please. Lol
So... when are you going to give us a "Final Thoughts" post on your summer off the grid??? I NEED TO KNOW! LOL
Anime girl suggestions- dice, beach ball, banana peppers, spinach, snow
I like how you’re style is improving ❤️
A mug of tea/coffee or a perfume bottle
The Arizona state flag could be a good inspiration for a new character!
I love the painting. 😊
I've only tried Arteza Watercolour sketchbooks and the coloured pencils and I have to say I wasn't impressed, but I'd like to give the watercolours a go and see what happens. 😊
I want to try watercolor but it makes me nervous and idk why. Also make a book into an anime girl??? I work at a used bookstore so I think that would be cool.
Paper anime girl... if you want a challenge
Dice anime girl would also be very cute. OR A MAGIC 8 BALL OOOOOH
I found your channel again! For some reason I wasn't subscribed, maybe I got a different account idk. But! I'm glad I found you! Seeing your channel was kind of nostalgic lol. I'm glad to have found it :D
I love that it ended up being a design of a n anime gal with heterochromia 💖
For the anime girl prompt:
Drawing anime boys as anime girls 😂
I wouldn't say cheap watercolours are *bad*, but it should be emphasized that there are very extreme differences depending on what paints (and paper) you get, in terms of texture, flow, colour brightness (much like explained in the video, but like, really extreme differences). My point being, if you're new to watercolours and are finding the really cheap ones or the really expensive ones frustrating, don't give up or let that colour (pun intended) your view of all watercolours! Kuretake colours are about the same price as Doc Martins watercolours (both expensive), yet both are super different- you use Doc Martins if you want smth that'll scan to digital perfectly (because extreme bright colours) You use kuretake if you want pastel colours that dont go muddy. I use cheaper options like the ones in the video when I want something you can mess around with a lot before drying (because typically more expensive paints dry very quickly).
Please turn googly eyes into an anime girl
Ok, this will probably never happen but the "turning things into anime girls" thing that you do just made me think of it and now I'm kind of obsessed with the idea. Turning dog breeds into anime girls. My first thought was collie, which is super interesting to try to figure out to me because anime girls (I feel) typically have small faces with large eyes, while collies typically have very long faces with small almond eyes, so just trying to figure out how those would mix is a fun idea to me.
I would love to see your garden turned into anime girls 🤍
I'm colorblind (the common red-green kind) but this doesn't make watching any of your videos about color any less entertaining (while, on some level, remaining masochistic)
I really like the idea of a melatonin anime girl
I have tubes of watercolor paint, so I've never experienced any other type of watercolor except when I was a child playing around with Crayola pans of watercolor. I decided to get an empty palette and fill each pan with each color from the tubes of watercolors I have, then let them dry because I was going through the wet paint too fast. I'm much happier with the choice I made by doing this. How do you feel about the watercolor tubes?
I find paper quality means more with watercolours, so getting the best paper you can afford and then after that the watercolours with the money left over (try to keep some money back lol)
I sincerely wonder what an anime girl designed after a cd would look like
If you could turn a Kikwi from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, that would be cool.
I love those kinds of shirts! So pretty 😊 I hoor you have a good day, Echo
Cacti/Succulents as an anime girl
Anime potato girl. That's it.
You cut your hair! It looks nice :)
Interesting views. Fun video thanks.
what kind of paper do you look for when wanting to watercolor? I find even "watercolor paper" warps too much no matter what I do to keep it flat
you should try and make blood as an anime girl. Love your videos btw! :)
as a birthday wish, a bat anime girl pls
Can we get sketchbook tour 🥺pls
Great video! I think you should turn a lava lamp or an electric guitar into an anime girl
Do the golden girls as anime!! 😂
Anime girl ideas:
Thunderstorm
Nessie / other cryptid
Baseball helmet
How about a lantern or a snow globe anime girl I'd like to see where youd take that
I think you'd create a really awesome raccoon anime girl!
draw office supplies as anime girls :)
It's a good day when echo uploads
Edit: I've very bad at words.
I have a question! How did you prepare the tim of the palette for mixing? Do you pre-fill areas with water? I can’t figure out the most efficient way.
you should draw gir or zim from invader zim as an anime girl
Maybe an umbrella turned into a anime girl
Watermelon as a cute anime girl
What about an Arteza Watercolor vs Culture Hussle Watercolor video? Culture Hussle says their watercolors (which cost about $57) works as well as a +$100 watercolors. (And it has a white)
Culture Hustle watercolors seem to just be a re-brand of Superior watercolors. If that name does not tell you anything, they are a Chinese watercolor maker that sell paints under their own name, but also make paints for a huge number of other brands lke Artify, Artsy, Ezzigo, various in-store brands, and so on. They are decent enough watercolors, personally I think they are nicer than Arteza, but no they do not compare to traditional high end artist quality watercolors.
I would love to see a washing machine anime girl 🤠
Michelangelo's david as an anime girl
anime girl idea - coffee table. don't know why. thought it would be a challenge?
Maybe make an anime girl of pineapples or pumpkins or a butterfly! Orrr a smoothie/milkshake XDDD
I think it's funny that you're calling $35 expensive for watercolours. For a good quality pallett, that is insanely cheap. And those super cheap sets are always chalky. And I would far more recommend a tube of white gouache (I use the Windsor and Newton permanent white designers gouache) to mix pastels, you'll get a much better result.
i wanna suggest a very random object for the anime girl video so maybe a dart board as an anime girl would be a nice challenge :)
u should definitely draw crayons as an anime girl!!
What about an anime girl after a Nintendo switch, game cube, or game boy
What abt an anime girl mixed with a beagle
oh man i’m late
you should make a pop tart girl
