How you doing, Ralph? I'm good, man. Is this another, uh, you're gonna squirt me with a squirt gun video? No, I'm gonna let you punish yourself this time. Uh, so basically, something I've thought about over the years is working with you has been an absolute pleasure, as always. But one thing that I like, uh, kind of about us is, like, I kind of have the more artsy side of the direction of the look of your channel, right? Look how flashy it looks, right? Oh, true, yes. Yeah, I will tell you, yes. It's pretty. Yeah, it looks very good. I want to test your art skills today. Okay. Got it. I'm going to give you gaming mascots from the last few decades, and I want you to draw them to the best of your ability. All right, well, I am a terrible artist, so this should go great. So, what we have in front of you is color pencils, some paper, and you brought your blindfold, correct? Yeah. Blindfold? Yeah, it's a little weird, but yeah, this is it. Do you want me to put it on right now? That's your blindfold? Dude, I don't actually have a blindfold. This is Kim's. It's not Kim's bra. This is actually, no, it's an eye pillow, like when you go to bed. Okay. I know, and it looks this color because it's a woman's eye pillow. Put your bra on. It's an eye pillow, by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a bra. Cool. The first one is Pac-Man. Okay. All right, you got them? Yeah. Okay. All right, so this is my first one's Pac-Man. Okay, so this is easy. I should definitely get Pac-Man. I'm not a good, I'm not a very good artist in general, but I think I can get Pac-Man pretty good. Okay, and then, so I just outlined him. Now, this is gonna be hard because I can't see what's on the paper, so I'm gonna try to fill him in the best I can because Pac-Man's yellow. Pac-Man's just so, you know, he's easy. He's a circle with like a mouth, you know what I mean? He can't really, can't really mess it up i don't think you can see by my fine brush strokes how you know i watched a lot of that bob ross back in the day that's that guy's name right bob ross yeah like i watched a lot so it's like happy little trees happy little pac-man i got this i can't wait to see the look on your face it's gonna be so good like you you thought i wasn't good at this Ed Boon pac-man it's gotta be done it's gotta be back Ed Boon all right ralph that was a good attempt let's do Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong. So, we don't have black, so I'm just gonna like, can I ask you as part of this can I ask you like what one I have in my hand so I at least know Sure Okay I got this So I going to draw his head And then he's kind of got broad shoulders, I think. I think I missed his arms. He's got big pecs and I think John Youssi his nipples. So you got his nipples. He's got legs. His feet. He's furry. I don't really know how to, like... I mean, he's furry. So let's put a little fur in there. I don't know, he doesn't really have a face. So, like... I mean, actually, he does have a face. But he's kind of, like... He's kind of, like, got... I don't know. If this is his head, which I think that's where I am. Like, he's kind of... He's not sad, but he's kind of sad. Like, he's actually mad, more mad. All right, that's Donkey Kong for sure. I'm done. I can't fill him in because he's too big, but I'm pretty sure that's Donkey Kong. I can't see a goddamn thing. I can't see anything, dude. You're being so condescending. It's so bad, I know it. He's messing around. okay this is gonna be next to impossible but that's a really hard one dude he's so hard to draw that's like not even cool like i i couldn't draw him with without the blindfold this is gonna be very bad okay all right because i can't really draw people that well i'm gonna so i'm gonna draw his i'm gonna draw his his head and then ryu has a um like a red bandana on so i'm gonna put his red bandana and he's got like the little tail thing that's coming off the bandana and he's not really he's generally happy so I'm just gonna put a little smiley face side nose and because I can't draw his body I'm just gonna kind of like draw him as a stick and then like he's doing his uppercut, like... And then this arm is just gonna go down. I don't know. Like, honestly, I really don't know how to draw him. And if I could find the top of his head... If you're going for the hair, the black is in your left hand. Oh. Oh, what color was I drawing with? Red. Oh, shit. Can you at least tell me if I close to the top of his head Yeah you close Alright so I going to give him some hair Like his hair blowing in the wind or something I can't draw people, so it's just going to have to be a stick. I'm sorry, but that's just what it's going to have to be. Okay, I think pretty sure that's Ryu. Obviously, Qbert's orange, so that's pretty easy that he's orange. but I'm gonna try to I don't think it'd be I think it's too hard for me to try to fill in what I'm drawing so Qbert so Qbert has so he's got his I'm trying to remember what his body like his legs look like because he's kind of circular he is circular so he's circular so he's a circle in himself but then he has like his nose comes out the front and it's like kind of got like the circle thing and then it goes in and I don't know his his eyes are kind of like right here and then I think his legs are kind of skinny so I think he just has like skinny legs like this and like a foot and then another skinny leg and a foot there is no way and then and then I don't know like somewhere over here I don't know I don't remember I honestly don't Like, I can't think in my head what his mouth looks like. I don't think he has ears. I'm trying to think, Q-Bert doesn't have ears. I actually can't, like honestly, I think I'd ruin it if I went any further. I think for the, I know this isn't probably good, but from a general perspective, that has to be somewhat what Q-Bert looks like. I, you literally cannot see. Dude, I can't see anything and there's no way that's good. You're totally BSing me. I cannot see a damn thing and I am terrible at drawing, so I think you're just pulling my leg, but that's fine. Sonic has changed a lot over the years, by the way. Like, I feel like he's changed. They keep changing him a little bit. Like, it's very slight, but... I mean, he's got, like, spiky hair. But then, like, I don't know, man. He has, like, bigger eyes. And he's kind of, like, he's got, like, a smirk. But I don't know, like, his nose. His nose is kind of... I don't know. I don't even know. I can't visually remember. His nose is like a bean. Oh, so it's kind of like circular. And he's kind of got like hands with almost like glove type things, I don't remember how about how his hands look, but something like this and then like, and then his oh shit I don remember if I finished his body shoot All right I don remember if I even did his body All right I just going to assume it somewhere around here And then he got like he got like sock feet kind of like that Something like that That the best I can do right now. I don't know. I don't know what else to do. I don't know like where he, like, I can't remember. Oh, I know his, I think his feet, I think his feet are like white. like his hair's up here somewhere i don't know i i don't know i don't i lost track of where i am so that's the best i could probably do for sonic okay so burger time guy he's like kind of got an almost yellowish orange face i'm just gonna do an outline for him because i don't i don't think i can even like he's he's actually kind of complex he's actually like pretty he's pretty detailed but his chef hat is kind of like that's the that's actually the most iconic part of it because it's kind of like puffy so it kind of looks like that and then like it's a chef hat so it's got like lines maybe right there can't really visualize his face so I'm just gonna put a circle for his face I think he's kind of he's kind of mad maybe in it and we'll put like his eyebrow right here his other eyebrow right there obviously this is gonna look like a stick figure but I mean I know he doesn't look like this but I'm going to put like shoulders on him I don't know because I don't think John Youssi his whole body I don't think he has a body I thought it's just the top oh I don't know then I'm just going to kind of that's all I don't know like honestly this is too hard I don't know like that's at least I think that should at least look like a chef hat with a face and some arms that's the best I can get I'm not good. Like I'm not good artist. That's the best I can do I mean I kind of got his bandana. I have a zoo in his uppercut. That's cool Holy crap. I got Qbert pretty good dude. I mean that's actually decent I can draw better with a blindfold I can't without one. This is not real. Did you, shut the hell up. There is no possible way I drew this with the blindfold.
