DIY MINECRAFT DISC AND FLOWERS ~ tutorial/paint with me tik tok inspired

Hi i’m joan welcome to sojourn videos today i’m gonna be making minecraft inspired room decor art pieces i guess you could call it that i was inspired by some things i saw on tick tock and also funny block game go burr and head all the time so i kind of want

To decorate my room with some minecraft flowers and discs you’re gonna need scissors cardboard acrylic paint a pencil ruler and determination let’s just get started shall we okay i’ve got some cardboard that i stole from work and that’s what we’re gonna be basically using as the decor

I’m just gonna be making a grid on the cardboard like a like a grid paper kind of thing so it represents pixels i’m gonna cut out my pieces paint them and just stick them on a wall somewhere professional i know right i’ve got this giant bag with a bunch of cardboard pieces

It’s a nice smooth piece of cardboard i’m gonna grab a ruler ruler and a pencil pencil i’m basically gonna be making a grid so i’m thinking i’m probably gonna do two centimeter by two centimeter pixels all the way across yeah my thumb looks so weird why can’t i push it So i basically measured out two centimeter spaces and made markings even in the middle of the board so when i drew the lines i could draw straight lines across all right so now that i’m done with making the grid on the cardboard i’m just going to look at all the images that i

Saved and basically count the pixels in each of the picture from top to bottom and side to side and that would basically correspond to the grids on here as well so i’m just going to count them up and then outline them on the cardboard and cut them out

I counted from top to bottom 10 pixels from left to right it’s 15. i’ve marked down where the 10th line is and also where 15 is over here we know the widest point is here so it goes across one two three four blocks and that’s fourth row is where the widest point is

So if i’m going to start from the top basically one two three four and then from this side onwards it goes on for four blocks and that’s going to be the first side of the disc does that make sense i hope i’m explaining this okay i did the disc i realized it’s pretty

Big yeah i mean again you can tailor the size of how big you want this to be according to the grids next basically i’m just gonna try to fit the dandelion into this side and then try to fit the poppy into the right side over here i’m just

Trying to utilize as much space as i can without wasting any cardboard i’ve got the disc i’ve got i think this is a corn flower a dandelion and a poppy i’m just gonna cut all of these out and yeah He really says I’m gonna get started on painting i’m gonna be trying my best to mix colors so that they match what my reference photo has and then just paint it on for whichever pixel a few my past videos some people ask me about how i mix colors it’s mostly just like i just mix

Them and see what happens kind of thing like to my own judgment so i’m just going to show my process of mixing some of these paints and how to get certain shades lighter and darker please take this all the grain of salt there’s probably some things that i’m

Wrong about and there’s definitely other people out there that know much more than i do so i definitely recommend like if you’re interested in learning how to mix colors color match like go on youtube go on google that’s usually what i do if i’m having trouble

I might just show a little bit of what my thought process is when mixing these colors and trying to paint so yeah let’s just start so starting off i like to do color swatches where i just kind of mix and guess the proportions of the shades that i need and kind of

See what they look like at first Here i used black to make a darker shade of green and just added the regular green if i thought it was too dark Since i was painting the dandelion i just tried to make a lighter yellow with just yellow and white and adjust it accordingly Now for the dandelion it was a bit hard for me to figure out what the darker shades of yellow looked like to match the picture but i just mostly added green and browns to make the yellow darker and for the shaded parts i’m definitely painting my table i don’t

Care this is what it looks like so far it might be a little bit too green but i can always just paint over it because it’s just the first coat basically painted what i could for now i might repaint some of these coats into more maybe like a yellow tone

I’m just gonna literally add yellow to the old paint i like it so far i’m just gonna put some more coats on because you can still kind of see the cardboard for some of these i’ll also be cleaning up some of these edges because to make it actually look

Like pixels i want to make the straightest lines possible so i just want to update you guys because not only did i change and update this but i also started on the next flower i actually filmed myself painting this but turns out my phone ran out of

Storage halfway so it just deleted all the recordings so i’ve got this now and you can actually see there’s a pretty big difference in how i painted these the only thing i have to say is practice you know improvement in just one piece you know that’s why

Like it’s kind of trial and error on how to like paint all the different colors and i just try until it works so as you can see i’ve added the light green and dark green spots and yeah the paint looks much more even the colors look much more vibrant

And i think that’s also just because i added more coats on this one i added about like three to four uh but yeah i’m gonna finish up the poppy now Here i was just painting on more coats of paint to make sure i couldn’t see the cardboard so here i tried to add some black to make it a bit like make the red a bit darker if you look at the actual poppy there are darker spots in the middle so i might

Just use this color as one of the ones in the middle All right so this is how my poppy turned out and honestly i think it looks pretty good compared to the actual photo so starting on the last flower just looking at the picture i can see that there seems to be three different types of greens so i’m gonna try to match these shades Society Huh Now that the first layer of the dark paint is drying i can see that it’s a little bit darker of a green than i want it to be but it’s still pretty close so i’m probably going to use these same color used before maybe adding a little bit of the normal green

And then just repaint the layers on top and see how light and dark it gets and keep adjusting it until you can’t see the cardboard anymore and it matches a color that i like Okay Next i’m going to be working on the blue parts so yeah it looks like there’s three shades of blue maybe four i realize i have an issue i only have one type of blue and it’s really light i might need to go buy a different blue but also i realized

There is four colors because there’s this darkest one middle one middle second middle one and then lightest one because there’s these two together and that’s not the same as this so there actually is four shades of blue here i try to make a darker blue by mixing my light blue with purple

Even though this might be my new favorite color i realize that the blues still look maybe a little too different it’s good to stick with the blues that you’re using like kind of the same paint and like using the same shade so for example if i start off with like a really light

Blue then i’ll just add more blue to that so that it’s darker and then also add brown or black to the same paint that i was using for the lighter layers just so that it kind of has more uniform feel to it since i use like different i start off

With purple paint basically it still just looks maybe a little off so to the paint that i was using i’m probably just going to add a bit of the normal blue i used so that it matches the color blue more i’m sitting nimrod what the heck no no

No just making some minor adjustments after putting on the third color i realized that the purple blue thing that i made seemed darker even though it’s supposed to be a lighter color that’s not quite the case this actually kind of looks darker so i added some white

To that to make it lighter hopefully it doesn’t become lighter than this if it is i’ll just keep changing it basically oh my gosh i don’t know why it’s so hard but it’s okay we’re making it work Is Hey got my new paint and also a snack so let’s finish this flower up Nice this is Vlogs Okay [Applause] [Applause] So She’s got the phone see Why staring out the window His name is Um She’s got the pinks on the glasses I always And that brings us to the end of the video thank you guys so much for watching i hope you enjoyed it i love making this i mean look it’s in the background right here look at that look how cute they look i think it turned out really well and honestly i

Might make more if i find the time to do it i still have extra cardboard and hopefully this helped you guys to be able to make your own and maybe you will make some after watching this video make sure to comment down below if you want to try stuff out if you have
