Hello!
-it's Annabelle -and Lilith
this is my sister, and it's exciting because this is our first video together kind of
and we're gonna show you what's in our backpacks today for school
and it's gonna be art related because we are both art students
also exciting, my sister is transferring to RISD
so next year, we're going to be going to the same school,
and living together, the vlogs are gonna be very fun
and I'm gonna get started because it's a lot of stuff and two backpacks
so first thing that we have is planners
just because we have academics in general, 5 classes each term
mine is one of those blank planners I was telling you about
I have two, this one is much more aesthetically pleasing
I got it when I was in socal, so
it is daily, weekly, and monthly
and it's nice because you can fill it out whenever you want,
there's no assigned months, no days,
so you don't feel like you're wasting it if you dont catch up every day
I think mine's from michael's actually
it was a gift from my mom, and
I like it because it's very customizable
it comes with just blank rings, and you basically insert
any sort of organizers you'd like, so for example
here is just grid, with little images of inspiration
and then I have pages for weekly plan, monthly plan,
but I insert or take out as I see fit
and for inspiration, we have books,
that's only if I don't have my laptop on me
so this one is the little book of life hacks,
I got this recently, and it's very adorable
I really appreciate the illustration style
it's really me
there's a lot, it's a very dense book
and if you want to check it out, it's by Yumi Sakugawa?
I think so. Sakugawa
this one is After Nothing Comes, this one actually, I'm borrowing from my sister
it's an illustration/comic by Aiden Koh
she is one of my favorite illustrators just because
she has a very interesting sensitivity when it comes to just graphite
she often leaves things unfinished, she is sort of an anti perfectionist
and i think that's very interesting
having books is important, because
developing an appreciation for analogue,
and developing an appreciation for always looking at other people's works
if you purchase a book, you're supporting the artist directly,
versus google images, or tumblr
by the way, I'm a textiles major and my sister is in illustration
so this is why she's much more concentrated when it comes to books, illustrators,
and I am much more about apparel,
tangible art -Fabrics
she knows like almost every fabric when she touches it
kind of freaks me out actually
just wait until I take fibers and dyeing
omg
let's do sketchbooks! cus books, sketchbooks
I only have one right now, even though in school I have 3 or 4
depending on what class I was in
this is a gift from my sister, and
it's a moleskin, it's for art specifically
because the pages are not as thin and they don't bleed
-the paperweight's heavy -yeah
I work with wet medium most of the time,
I like gouache, which is my favorite, and I like to work with ink a lot
I don't really like graphite,
-definitely a pen girl.
so that's my only one to show you guys
I'm really obsessed with this one sketchbook,
I like it because, this cover, I love the sound
*cinkling*
isn't this just parchment paper?
I don't know
as you can see this one, it got so dinged up
I lost the cover
the paperweight is not crazy but it holds ink
and water very well
it's also like a warm cream base
-I like that better, than those stark white ones
-yeah, and
as you can see, it holds up pretty well considering
how much I've beaten it up
and it lasted like a year right
-yeah
and also I like the size of it, if you're trying to
just get into sketchbooking,
in the beginning, I recommend getting a smaller one,
this one is intimidating even to me
comparatively, it's a really small surface
and it's very cozy to work with, it's just about right
and it's easy to bring, like in a coat pocket -yeah soft cover
next one is a hard cover, this is not a moleskin,
but it's very similar, I like it sheerly because of the paper
basically, this is what I take notes with
there's like a cute little menu area,
is it called menu? -index?
-legend?
-all the- legend?
-no it's not a legend
and it's already numbered, the pages are numbered
so it's pretty convienient for note taking -oooh damnnn
-yeah
so for big lectures and stuff, where there's a big projector
and you don't have a table with you, one of those atriums,
I like to bring this
last one, pretty big
so this is the Fabriano sketchbook,
in the size...
-in a big size -in a big size
XL
they have a little one, and a big one, and I have both
it was a requirement for a class,
basically to do very big gestural sketches
that I have to present for class, and
they're all ginormous,
and not particularly detailed,
-and um -I remember you did this
I dont remember when, but -It was at Yosemit
-ooh that
I drew Yosemite rocks, and I was very proud
I have quarters, because
I'm not like her, I'm a huge procrastinator
and I always do things last minute,
usually I'm on campus, at late hours,
way after any cafeteria closes,
and it's good to have quarters because they always have vending machines
going along the same lines of being at school at unreasonably late hours,
I have a toothbrush,
-because -but like no toothpaste?
you just like brush with water?
wait- I have- uh..
no i do have toothpaste, but the little one
oo ok
and as well, I have polaroids
they work really well when you wanna sketchbook
so this is actually Conan's, we swapped it on accident
and- film
then you never know when you're gonna need this,
I always carry a hard drive on me
I always carry a USB on me because print shops don't let you email files
to them, and a lot of times you need to print things,
for class
I always bring my laptop with me when I'm working, because
I am an avid user of pinterest,
I know it sounds sort of embarassing and cheesy, but
my uni professor actually highly recommended us to use pinterest,
and gave us a 45 minute lecture on how to set up our pinterest
I recommended things to my sister SO many times, because
I've done my research on pinterest -that's true
that's true, I remember I was like CRISIS
-I NEED INSPIRATION
cus I needed to do a presentation- a lecture,
and I needed an artist to focus on,
and then you suggested Louise Bourgeois
yeah I loove her
do you not have a case?
no I don't have phone case or laptop case, because I live dangerously
ok?
what?
this is not living dangerously
oh- forgot to bring my wallet- so typical
like SOO typical
then of course, pouches for art things
in here what I have mainly,
very minimal, I have brushes,
I have a glue stick,
and then micron pens,
and ball point pens because I jot notes during lectures and I do not wanna waste my good ink
and then random little containers
because when you mix gouache you never know when you need to keep a sample
because next time you paint-
it is a pain in the ass to try to get the exact same color
unless you've taken color theory and you can mix it right every time
I - most of the time I can- but I'm just saying
in general, I've been asked to lend this to people
mmhm
mhm
this is my brush, paint pouch,
and then I have another one
because...
I only use snap brushes because they are $3
at the student store, with like the
20% discount, and they
have both rounds and flats, they work with both
acrylic, gouache, watercolor,
whatever you ask,
they're slightly too stiff for watercolor in my opinion,
so that's why I have
two watercolor brushes
they're really expensive
I think the big ones are like $45 and the little ones like $20
and for paints I only use Acryla Gouache because my professor recommended them to me
my first year of college
they dry matte, they have the consistency of gouache,
they're mixable with water, so they can be opaque or translucent
depending on how much water you put into them
acrylic always leaves some kind of glare because it IS very plasticy
it doesn't photograph well, so in our digital age
it's not really good for instagram, not really good for websites
it's funny, gouache is really underrated actually
like a lot of people don't know about it
this is actually really convenient,
I think it's from blick's, and it's- you know like
if something spills, nothing comes out -yeah yeah
I didn't categorize this with paints because it's liquid ink
-it's ink, it's ink
I only carry three colors with me almost all the time
black, blue, red,
and also because they're acrylic they're like super super permanent
they're archival- so just be really careful
because I have spilled,
a whole thing,
in someone's car
trusty ticonderoga
y'all know this
box cutter, becasue
you never know when you need this
I have it because you cut your paper with it
you don't use scissors, you put a ruler down
and you use a knife
I like to sharpen my pencil, and my charcoal sometimes but I guess you don't
no, cus the blades are too expensive
obviously both of us has microns
I prefer Copic just because the ink is a blue black
i think the microns are like a brown black
or they kind of fade over time -they also have like
a slight glare
compared to the Copics
there's a hi tec for when you want to do
live, loose sketching
it's really really really fine
cus if you go too fast with the micron style,
the ink will just cut out
halfway through, it wont follow
-yeah, especially with angles
I only use 2 different white inks, the first one
is Y&C
XTREME
0.7
and then the other one is sharpie posterpaint
I've had this shit since like
when I was 16
and it still hasn't run out
the line weight varies,
and it's really opaque white surprisingly,
compared to a lot of the other white gels -yeah
that look transparent on black
I carry a lot of color pencils with me, because that's
what I like, and
as for color I only carry what I'm currently obsessed with,
so recently it's been complimentary
so like red and green
this comes in handy, this is watercolor
and I like that it includes the paints
and the palette, it comes with a brush
so it's really on the go, you can do this anywhere
you put the water in here, and you don't need a cup of water
even though I prefer it, just because
it's more convenient for me to dump it out
and I'm never really anywhere that's in the middle of nowhere
with no water access
so this is the sakura koi watercolor
sketchbook, and
and it even comes with this
yeah so you can hold it in your hand, while you
I always have palette paper with me
and this is normally not how I carry it ok
I just only have giant ones left but
normally, mine are the size of THIS
I even started taking some parchment paper from our cafeteria,
they have it in the section where you grab donut and pastries,
so that paper works really well too
for me, palette paper doesn't really quite work because
the consistency of the paper itself sometimes works against me,
the paints try too quickly
and my inks are too watery
for the palette paper to hold, which is why
I have these little dip- flower shape palettes
I have ceramic and plastic,
I like ceramic because I find it easier to clean
even though it's not, I just used it
I have this little glass jar, I like to put caps on it
because sometimes I keep the water in there,
and surprisingly it doesn't leak
this one is glass though, even though the one I have at school is plastic
I actually use glass with me
plastic is a little too flimsy,
and I just got in a habit of keeping a glass jar with me,
because it doubles up as a pen stand,
which with plastic, would just fall over
I also have a face towel,
so I could dry my brushes quickly or clean quickly
and then pretty miscellaneous, I have packing tape
oh I have tape too, but it's painter's tape
but this is really bad painter's tape, I'd use blue tape
don't get this one
when you want to paint gouache with a border, it's really easy to put this down
I like mine half this thick though
THENN random stuff,
I have my smiley face stickers
and then, stickers
so you can cut these into anything you want
it's just for fun
and then... dip n dots
scissors... because
-you always need them
-because sciss
-yeah
what?
mainly the reason why I don't have scissors on me is because my
box cutter doubles as scissors
-sure ok
unless it comes to
you know -don't abuse
STICKER PAPERS
on the side for me I have random shit, so
sunscreen's important
protein bar because doing art- time flies and
then you just realize like
why am I hungry
like O its 2
face sunscreen on the other side
you don't want to use regular -in the middle of the night
and then-
no
it's like while I'm out
cus I actually go outdoors
glasses, because
in school when they put projectors on, everyone likes to turn off the lights
that kills me. I need
this, it filters out blue light
I get migraines, so
very useful -can I try?
ibuprofen, because migraines and headaches
I already went over mine, there's just quarters and chargers
and USB. ohh
I have a chocolate bar
and then obviously headphones,
really passes time
and randomly I have perfume,
for when you smelly as fuck
then I have a polaroid left over, that Cone took for me
so that's basically all for me, do you have anything left
in your bag? -nope, that's it
okay, so that is basically what is in our bags
for school, obviously there's gonna be other random shit
depending on exactly what we're doing in class
everyday demands something different
but this hopefully helps you if you're interested
in art supplies, this is what we prefer to use
I guess this isn't very helpful for like "back to school"
but y'all can just go find another video
cus they're all the same
and once again thank you very much for watching,
it was very fun to film, my first video with my sister officially
so hopefully we can do more things especially when we live together,
including a tag maybe, so if you guys have any fun ideas
or questions, definitely leave that below
and aside from that I hope that it was helpful
sorry it was such a long video, but thanks for sticking around
yeah if you watch all the way until now
I appreciate all the love and support, and our amazing community as always
and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day or night
where ever you may be. bye
guys -bye! -love you!
binge watch!
let's do an inverted high 10
binge- OW
-what?
I didn't ask for this
be nice -dude you're so fucking weak
this is why Conan's so afraid of you
he's not afraid of me.
yes he is I saw his high 5 montage
that's because I MISSED
he was flinching, the whole time
that was when I went like THIS
can we do a heart
I want a heart
oh oh ok
ok I think that's enough
ok but really though
bye, love you
