I'm Ricky. I live in Bristol. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
By day, I work as an animator, which is lucky, cos I love art. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:10 | |
I live for art. I even dream of art. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
I draw... | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
I paint... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
I make things. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
I hang out with my mates Gavin, Michelle and Sarah. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
SCREAMS | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
Most importantly, I make ninja moves. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Some people call me the... | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Art Ninja! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Today, I'll show you cow... I mean how, to make a bull's head hoopla. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
I'll whip up ghostly wallpaper that's so good, it's spooky, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
and watch the paint fly in a slow-mo masterpiece, because, today, it's... | 0:00:42 | 0:00:49 | |
Day of the decoration. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
ALARM CLOCK BEEPS | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
It's a new day. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Time to get my Ninja on. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
And my clothes! | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
And today is not so much about painting, but decorating, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
so let's get rolling. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
I know what would bring this flat to life - a game of giant hoopla. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
The Art Ninja bull's head hoopla. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
It's got a nice ring to it. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
So, I've got some big cardboard down here, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
and I'm going to draw on it a great big shield to work as my back board. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
You need a hole to hang it up. Nice big one there. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Now, I'm going to cut that out. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
There we are. Now, I'm going to put that to one side, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
cos I'll need it in a moment. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
I've got some more cardboard here. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
And, on this, I'm going to draw the profile of the bull's head. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
You can look online for some nice looking silhouettes for inspiration. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
Going to cut that out. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
There you are. That's one. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
Right, we're going to need two of these. Ninja skills! | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
OK, now I'm going to score a line down the inside, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
about two centimetres from the back of the bull's head. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
I'm going to use a ruler. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
It's a bit safer than scissors. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
And one on the other one. There we are. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
And now we're going to fold it along here, and these are going to | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
work as flaps, to attach the bull's head to my back board. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
There we are. All right, let's bring over the back board. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Now, you can attach these with glue stick and sticky tape, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
or double-sided sticky tape. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Line-up with the middle... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
..and sticky up the other one. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Sticky one next to it. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
Again, make sure they line up nicely. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
I'm going to reinforce it with a strip here, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
so I'm going to cover that with some glue, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
and this strip is the same width as the two folds put together. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
And make it nice and strong. Lovely! | 0:03:30 | 0:03:36 | |
Now I need to make the separate parts of the nose and the head, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
that'll hold it all together. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
OK, I've got some more cardboard over here, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
and the lid of some soft cheese or spread, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and I'm going to draw around that, for the first part of the nose. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
And I'm going to cut that out. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
And then I'm going to draw a couple of lines on here, that I'm going to | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
use as slits, to slide over the two parts of the bull's head. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
I've drawn the lines to about two centimetres from the top, | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
about five centimetres apart. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
I'm going to cut those out. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
That's the first part of the nose. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
OK, I've got another bit of card. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
I'm going to draw around the lid again. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
I'm going to turn it like that, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
and I'm going to draw around it the other way round. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
I'm going to draw the same lines up this one, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
to two centimetres away from the top, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
and just remembering that this space here is the same distance apart | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
as that strip we used to separate the bull's head. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
There we go. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Here's some other bits that I've cut, and, as you can see, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
each one is slightly bigger than the previous one, about two centimetres. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
The two biggest pieces of card will need to be turned around, | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
and the slits cut the other way. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
These will form the bull's head. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
The smaller four pieces of card will form the nose. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
So, move these to one side. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
This layer, second from the back, gets some ears, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
and I've pre-cut them. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
And just to keep 'em in the style, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
I've layered up a second bit here, so it's like the inside of the ear. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Bit of double-sided sticky tape. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Go on the side of the head there, and that one goes on to there. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
There we go. Looking much more like a bull. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
Now, this next layer is going to look a lot like a bull, | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
cos it's going to have the horns on it. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Now, I've pre-cut the horns, and I've doubled them up, | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
cos they need to be quite strong, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
cos they're going to hold the rings, and I've put some double-sided | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
sticky tape here, to attach them to the back of the head. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Now, I've folded them here, and close to the tip, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
just to make them look more like horns. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Right, I can start sliding them on to the bull's head. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Now, it's good to start with the front one, because it holds the | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
whole thing together and keeps it stiff, so you can get the others on. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
Just slide the next one on like that. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
There. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
The ears... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
and now, the horns. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
The horns on. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
Let's see how it's working. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
Right, let's hang it up. Oh, look at that! | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
It's time to play! | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
I've made some hoops out of card by drawing around a bowl and | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
cutting out the middle. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
Ooh! | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Ah! Bull's-eye! Well, bull's horn. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
The bull's head hoopla. Are you game to have a go? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Hey, you guys! | 0:06:47 | 0:06:48 | |
This guy is such a creep! | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Have you ever wanted to creep up and play tricks on your mates? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
Told you. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
Now, you can surprise them with this incredible gassy ghost! | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
Here's how you make it. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
You'll need two pieces of card, one white and one black, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
and a pair of scissors. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
With care, cut some shapes from the card, two arms from the white, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
eyes and nose from the black. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Next, you'll need a white plastic bag, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
and some double-sided sticky tape. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Use the tape to stick the eyes and mouth to the bag. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Peely-peely, sticky-sticky. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
Stick the arms on, too. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
Now you need a white balloon. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Inflate said balloon, but do not tie it. Careful now! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
Don't let go of that balloon. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Put the balloon inside the bag while holding the end. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
It now looks like a scary ghost. It's very convincing. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
The gassy ghost! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Why don't you make one, and let one go! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
They'd be good to cover up your own bottom burps. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
I'll have to get me some of those. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Urgh! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
I'm pretty sure that picture moves on its own. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
It's almost as if it's animated. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
This is my friend, Dan. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
He's been cultivating a pretty impressive beard. Nice! | 0:08:32 | 0:08:38 | |
So fluffy! Hang on, Dan! What are you doing? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Are you some kind of cunning beard peeling spy? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
Oh, no, my mistake. It's just an animation! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
A hairy one. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
So, to make this awesome animation, | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
all you're going to need is some wool or thread, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
some clippers, a tablet, a pen and paper, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
and a beardy friend, who's willing to be shaved. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
And you can make this animation in just three ninja moves. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
Ninja move number one. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
I'm going to start by drawing myself some storyboards. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
The whole point of doing them is to plan out what you're going to do. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
I reckon you'll have, like, your hand up there, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
and I think we'll cut as you start pulling, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
and go to a nice, sort of, head-on shot as the beard unravels. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
When was the last time you actually took your beard off? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-About a year ago. -Are you feeling confident? -I love it. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
I'm feeling confident. Right. Let's do it. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Ninja move number two. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
As Dan's going to be our animation model, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
it's really important that he stays really still in between our frames. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
Isn't that right, Dan? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
I said, "Stay still." Perfect! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Then, you need to get a bit of wool, or whatever you're using, | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
and hide it inside the beard. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
I'm going to animate Dan coming in and pulling this thread out. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
We're going to have it go across his face, and we're going to shave | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
the space behind it, to make it look like the beard's unravelling. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
If you're going to be using clippers, | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
it's probably a good idea that you get some adult supervision. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
It's OK for us, cos we're, believe it or not, both adults. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
Ninja move number three. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
As your model's beard unravels, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
you need to capture all your frames on your tablet device. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
I'm using a free animation app. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Just search around and find one that you like. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
If I look at my storyboard, my first shot is | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
kind of a three-quarters on the side of Dan's face. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Make sure you only shave a willing family member or friend, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
otherwise, you and me will both be in a hairy situation. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
So, now it's to that point, I think. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
OK, Dan. We're all done. And you look good, though. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
You look nice. Yeah. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
Anyway, I've compiled all the frames. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
I think it's time for us to take a look at our mini masterpiece. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Ow! Beardy-weirdy! | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
Time for some decorating, I think. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Ah! Right then, flat, let's make you look slick. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
Where should I start painting? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Oh! Ah! | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
Didn't clean my brushes. All stuck together. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
I can't use these. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
And if I can't use the brushes, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
the only way I'm going to decorate this flat | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
is with a spot of wallpapering. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
I'll be right back. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:41 | |
Well, that didn't go too well. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Wallpaper's not exactly on the wall. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
I look like a mummy. Do you know what? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
I've got an idea how I could fix this. Ah! | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
Ah! | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
Just as scary as a mummy is a ghost, so I'm going to make myself some | 0:12:02 | 0:12:08 | |
ghostly wallpaper using a technique known as tessellation. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
-Yo, Ricky! -Who are you? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
I'm the famous artist, Maurits Cornelis Escher, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
but you can call me MC. When it comes to rapping, I have the key. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
It's not just rapping, dancing and popping, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
I also like to make art that's interlocking. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
Here's one of Escher's famous interlocking tessellations. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
Tessellation is an interlocking pattern, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
and I'm going to make some using a little piece of card here. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
I'm going to start drawing my ghostly shapes on it. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
I need to make sure that the shapes link up perfectly with | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
three of the corners. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
That's three of the corners. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
I need to cut those shapes out. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
I need to be careful now, because these shapes need to interlock. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
Also, I need to be careful, because these scissors are quite sharp. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
So, here, all of these shapes perfectly fit together. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
I'm going to take this one over the other side, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
and when that happens, we start to create the shape of the ghost, see? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
His head's here, there's his other arm coming up, | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
and then this one here is going to come down to the bottom, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
but then we're going to flip it. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
And this means that our first set of ghosts are going to be | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
facing one way, and then our next layer down, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
those ghosts will be facing the other way. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
It makes your picture more dynamic. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
Using some sticky tape, make sure your pieces join up | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
in the right places. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Now we've got our first ghost template shape, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
we can now get a big piece of paper, and start drawing round the shape. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
Thankfully, there's a nice big line running down the side of our ghost, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
and we can use that as a guide to line him up with the paper. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
Just for the first one. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
Whoa! Perfectly interlocks. That's a good sign. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
And notice here that also it interlocks here, too. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Now I'm going to come down and do the second line, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
and you can see here, it doesn't fit in, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
because we turned the bottom round, | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
and that's so we can make a more interesting picture here. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
We can have these ghosts facing that way, | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
and those ones facing that way. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
You don't have to do a ghost. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
You can try any shape, or anything you think of. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
It's best to keep the shape quite simple, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
because, otherwise, the interlocking can get a bit tricky. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
I'm just finishing up the bottom here, | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
to make sure the pattern continues off the page. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Using a thick black pen, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
I'm drawing just inside the pencil on some of them. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
You'll see why later. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
I've missed this one out here, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
and I'm going to jump on to the one afterwards and do the same. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
I'm also adding facial expressions to them. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
Draw the faces in of the other ghosts, and I'm not going to fill | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
in the mouths on this one, cos I'm going to paint this guy black. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
You may not be able to see the tessellation yet, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
but when I start painting, it will reveal itself. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
As some of them are white and some of them are black, I'm only going to | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
paint every other one, the ones that I haven't done an outline for. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
OK, I've marked each one that I need to paint, by throwing a big | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
bit of black paint in the middle. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
I need to be careful, and only paint up to the pencil lines. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
Obviously, when you're doing yours at home, it would be good | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
to put some paper down. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
This black and white effect, like this kind of checker-boarding, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
really helps to emphasise the tessellation effect. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
My last ghost. Right. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
If you do one of these, you have to wait for it to dry, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
but I'm going to use my ninja skills. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
I'm going to add the same lines as I've done on the white ghosts | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
on to the black ghosts with a white pencil. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
I think I'm done. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
What do you think of my tessellation picture then, MC Escher? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
A few more pictures just like that, | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
you'll have new wallpaper for your flat. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Wallpaper tessellation inspired by MC Escher. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
Why don't you get stuck in? | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
At least I no longer look like a mummy. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
PHONE RINGING | 0:16:26 | 0:16:27 | |
Speaking of Mummy... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
Hi, Ricky! | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
I suppose you're too busy to answer the phone to your mum, are you? | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
Yeah, I am. Glue everywhere. Blame Escher! | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
Well, you won't blame me for telling you what's coming up. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
You're on a roll with a temporary tattoo... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Oh, look at that! | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
..you'll sketch a scary character... | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
and you'll be helping Sarah with some painting! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
You'd better get on with it. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
I know you, Ricky, I bet you haven't even drawn the curtains yet. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Bye! | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
I've only got blinds. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
And I can draw more than the curtains. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Mum can sometimes be a scary character, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
but she's a softie at heart. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:08 | |
Here's a quick art tip of how to draw someone truly scary. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
The best way to draw a scary character is to use pointy shapes, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
so I'm going to start by drawing a face that's | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
an upside down triangle shape. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
Then I'm going to add slanty eyes that lean in to the centre. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
This makes him look a lot more mean and angry. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
And you can accentuate that with some eyebrows doing the same thing. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
Then have a pointy nose and ears, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
and then, I think, my scary character's going to be a vampire, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
so I'm going to draw the mouth with some fangs. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
Let's pop some hair in there. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
Then, with the body, I'm going to keep it quite thin and lean. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
He's going to be doing a scary pose, putting his arms in the air. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
Maybe in this pose he's doing a nasty laugh, going... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
LAUGHS | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Going to add some big, scary claws on the end. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
To finish, I'm going to add a pointy collar, bat wings under | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
the arms... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
..and a nice big moon, to make his surroundings scary. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
Vampires never come out in the day time. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
There you go. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
A quick art tip. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
Now, try and draw your own scary character. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
It could be shockingly good. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Yah! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
The thing about being an Art Ninja, is you're ready for anything. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
BOTH: Ricky! Ricky! Ricky! | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
Made me jump! What can I help you with? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
BOTH: Ricky, what can you make with a ruler? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
-A ruler? I have to draw the line somewhere. -BOTH: Oh! | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
BOTH: Ricky! What can you make with this? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
That looks interesting. I choose you! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
BOTH: Yay! | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
-What are your names? -I'm Courtney. -And I'm Kyra. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
Nice to meet you, Courtney and Kyra. Where are you guys from? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-BOTH: Bristol. -Bristol? You should've popped in. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
Anyway, what have you got for me? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
BOTH: Can you make art with a cardboard tube? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:08 | |
Cardboard tube? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
Do you know what, I think I've got some kitchen roll laying around. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
I'll just go and grab one of those. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
I brought myself some glue, some paint, a pot to put it in, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
a little paper plate. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
I'm going to use that for when I'm gluing. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
And, of course, cardboard tube. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
And what I'm going to make with this is a rollable print | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
that you can use for a temporary tattoo. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Does that sound cool? -Yeah. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Awesome. So, I'm going to start drawing my design. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Draw it on this little bit of card here. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
What's a good design? Pirates have a lot of tattoos, don't they? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. Skull and crossbones, me thinks. Do you guys like pirates? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:44 | |
BOTH: Yeah. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
Yeah, who doesn't like pirates, eh? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I'm trying to draw this with an unbroken line, so it all joins | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
together in one, and you'll see why when I take it on to the next step. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
For the chin and then, of course, crossbones. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
OK. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
I am going to glue some string along the lines, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
so I can use it to make a print. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
There we go. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
And I'm trying to glue it down to the line that I've drawn, | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
to raise it from the paper. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
Good tip is to use a cocktail stick, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
because it stops your fingers getting too sticky. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
So, this little thing here is going to be for decorating your arms, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
but I've spent a lot of the day decorating my flat, or trying to. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
If you could decorate your room any way you wanted to, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-how would you do it? -Paint my walls blue. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Paint it blue? Courtney? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
Paint it orange. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
Would you paint a mural in your room or anything like that? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-I'd paint moustaches. -Moustaches? Why's that? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-I'm obsessed with them. -Fair enough. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
I've got a giant moustache pillow, as well, if you want to see it? | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
Yeah, all right. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Yeah! Awesome! | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Maybe you could make a temporary tattoo moustache. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
LAUGHS | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Although it would mean printing it on your face. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
You know what, guys? If you're playing outside later, maybe | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
you could have a go at the temporary tattoos and impress your mates. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
Excellent. It's dried quite quickly. And there we are. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-Look at that. You see how it's raised? -That's wicked. -Whoa! | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Right, the next stage is to attach it to the tube. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
So, I'm just going to roll it round like that, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
and hold it in place with a little bit of sticky tape. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
And I'm doing this so that it's easier to apply the prints. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
I'm only going to do it up one end. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
If I do it in the middle, it'll be harder to roll, so, there, | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
I can hold on to this end when I want to apply it on this side. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
See that now? So we can roll it on. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
Now, I'm going to paint on to the strings. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
And the paint I'm using is poster paint, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
which means it won't harm your skin, and it washes off. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
I've got my paint here. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
And I'm going to pat it on to the string. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
See how the raised string takes the poster paint. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
You could do this any colour you wanted to. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
You could obviously do it blue, or orange, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
but I want it to be quite dark and pirate-y, so I'm doing it black. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
Making sure every single little bit of the string's covered. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Right, think it's ready to print. Wish me luck! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
Good luck! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Here we go. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
Oh, look at that! Do you guys want to see it? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
-Yeah. -OK, here you go. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-BOTH: Wow! -Is that a good tattoo? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
-Yeah. -Pretty good, eh? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
And the good thing about a temporary tattoo is that | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
I can wash it off and try a new design tomorrow. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
What do you guys give it out of ten? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
BOTH: We give it a ta-two. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Ta... Oh, a ta-two. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Well, I give you a seven-and-a-half for your joke. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Thank you very much for your suggestion. You've been awesome. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-BOTH: Thanks, Ricky! -Cheers then. Bye-bye! -BOTH: Bye! | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Why don't you design your own temporary tattoo, too? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
PHONE RINGING | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
Ah, it's my mate, Sarah. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:18 | |
Hey, Sarah! What's that? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
You want me to come to your flat and help do some painting? | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
Her flat's a right tip. It could do with a lick of paint. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
Yeah, yeah, sure, I'd love to. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
I've been trying to do it in my flat anyway. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Cool. I'll see you later. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
Oh, no, but my paint brushes are all stuck together. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
I'll have to go and get some new ones. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
Shops are closed now. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
It's the only brush I could find. It'll have to do. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
Off to Sarah's. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Ninja skills! | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Ooh! A note from Sarah. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
"Dear Ricky. I've had to pop out. Please start painting without me." | 0:23:58 | 0:24:03 | |
This is going to take some doing. Going to have to get some help. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Hi, Gavin. Yeah, bit of an emergency. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
I'm a ninja down. Could you come quick, please? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
-It'll be really... -Hello, mate! | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
-Hi, dude! That was quick. -Always happy to help, buddy. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
Right. Basically we've got to paint this place with this. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
-Wow! -Mm-hmm. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | |
I don't think we're going to be able to do this, mate. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
Let me check my pockets, see if there's anything for inspiration. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
Got this. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
-A balloon? -Yeah. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Have you got any more of those? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Yeah, about 400 more, I think. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
It gives me a rad idea. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
But first, let's get our ninja on. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
Art Ninja! | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
Art Ninja. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
OK, Gavin, let's do this. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Do what? | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Balloon, paint, this. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
Sweet! | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
Wow, I think this looks incredible. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
I think Sarah's going to absolutely love this! | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
Love it? She's going to go wild for it! | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
What have you done to my flat? | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Do you like it? We've painted it for you. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Just like you asked. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:38 | |
I wanted a painting to go on my white wall, not painted. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
I'm sorry, Sarah. I promise we'll clear it all up. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
And it better be done by the time I get back! | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
Anyway, sorry, Ricky, I've got to go. I've got a hair appointment. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
I can't believe he's given me the brush off. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
This is going to take me ages. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
I'd better get my teeth into it. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Well, I did it. Sarah's flat is restored to its former glory, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
and Sarah did get a piece of art. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:23 | |
I sent her our film of it as video art. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
Today has taught me a valuable Art Ninja lesson. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
If you're asked to paint a mate's room, | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
it's not always best to use a balloon. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Hang on! I forgot to brush my teeth. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
HE SCREAMS | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
