Welcome artistic friends, visitors, and subscribers to Monet Cafe. I'm so glad you're with me today. This lesson is the second part in a beginner series and this one's called a roadmap for painting. In the first video of the beginner series, right before this one, I focused on creating a value study or called a notan, which is an excellent way to begin a painting and to make sure you get composition and values correct. Now in today's video we'll take that a step further as we create what I like to call a roadmap for successful painting.  Oh first, if you'd like a happy painting t-shirt, just click the link below the description section of this video and use the promo code Artistic before August 15, 2019 to get 10% off. Alright now I'd like to go over a supply list. The surface I'll be using for today's painting is on UART sanded paper and it's 400 grit and I'm using the pads, or 10 sheets in a pack, 9 by 12 sheets and I do cut them smaller. In this case I'm doing an 8 inch by 6 inch painting. But I have other videos where I share alternate methods of creating your own sanded pastel surface so be sure to check out the other videos. Now the product I'll be using for the second part in this beginner series or the roadmap to a successful painting is a product that I'm using as an under painting and I just discovered this neat new technique that uses watercolor pencils. Now you don't have to use watercolor pencils for this particular part of the lesson. You can use alternate mediums and I will be discussing that as the lesson goes along. And I'll be using various types of pastels but I wanted to go ahead and go over some of the ones I recommend as really good for beginners. I happen to have a set of Giro pastels that I recently purchased and I love these pastels because they are not too hard and not too soft. They're really a great product for working as a beginner. Another pastel I recommend for beginners is Mount Vision Pastel. This particular pictures of their landscape set 50 of them. And pastels can get expensive and I think this is a pretty good value. They're a very large pastel and I like the fact that they again are not too hard or too soft. Another beginner set I would recommend is Rembrandt Pastels. Whenever you can as a beginner try to get half sticks. These come in half sticks. You get double the color for the same money. Rembrandt is I would say harder than all of the ones I've mentioned before but it's a really good way to start. They're a little bit more reasonable than some of the other more expensive ones. Now don't get overwhelmed. I know we all want a pastel box that looks like this but you've got to start somewhere right. So just kind of start where you can and gradually build up as you can afford it. Now for this particular painting I'm using a piece of UART 400 grit sanded pastel paper and I have the piece I've cut from the 9 by 12 sheets in that pack and this is an 8 inch by 6 inch piece. I use standard sizes often because you can find frames without having to get custom made frames and your clients sometimes may like that. And here I'm just basically sketching in the composition. You can use really whatever you want. I'm using one of the watercolor pencils that I'll be talking about but keep a light touch with this and in a minute you'll see I actually put up from lesson number one where we talked about simple beginnings. I put the actual value study that we did before or the notan it's called underneath my reference image and that's the point of this. I kind of forgot I just started sketching and then I go ahead and add the little notan. But this part is basically just your simple little sketch in part one of the lesson. We kind of worked out our composition making sure you know we like where we're headed with this and we have a little value roadmap before we even get to this next roadmap that I'll be working on in this painting. And I'm going to try to keep this one real time as much as possible.  And also I am very blessed now that I got a new computer. I got a new MacBook Pro. My other MacBook Pro I had had for a while actually tried to save money buying a used one many years ago and I've been repairing it and making that that sweet old hardworking computer work a long time for me. But it finally bit the dust the other day. It was at an inopportune time. When is it not? When those things happen. But you know I totally believe that blessings can come out of tragic circumstances. That's happened time and time again in my life. And so I've learned as I've gotten older just to hang in there and wait for the Lord's blessing. And now with everything I went through to try to get it restored the wonderful thing is that now my processing speed is faster. I'm able to do real time more. So I'm going to benefit from that and you're going to benefit from that too as viewers and just students trying to learn more about getting better. So as you can see when you see real time you can see I am taking my time. Sometimes I really sketch quickly if I'm just doing a little study. But in this particular case I'm taking my time. I'm creating just really light strokes here and I'm trying to get the things in the image that I remembered that I liked. And that's a really important part about painting process. Sometimes I know as beginners it can be a little overwhelming is to think okay first of all I got to find an image. And I've had times in the past as a beginner artist where I literally spent hours just searching for an image that inspired me or you know made me feel like oh this is the one and often you waste your precious creative time or energy in kind of getting discouraged and bogged down with the whole looking for an image process. So I encourage you to if you're going to do that take a couple hours. I've talked about some of the get your own photos when you can. Okay there is I'm putting up now the little um notan or value study that I did in the previous lesson and that is going to be my guide for creating the rest of this painting. But as I was saying before try to get some reference images at your fingertips. The more quickly you can grab something to paint from the better. And also don't get so fussy about what it is. When you're beginning just paint. Grab something and start painting. We often try too hard to create a masterpiece early on when we just need to practice. All right now I'm going to show you a little bit closer these Arteza artist quality watercolor pencils. Now I am using these products if you've seen some of my other videos. They keep sending me products which is great of them. Some of them I've pulled out I've actually been using them but they actually are in three layers. There's 72 pencils. Well I goofed off with them the other day when they sent me a set. I played with different things on watercolor paper and then I thought hmm let me try these on sanded paper. And oh my goodness I absolutely loved them as for creating an underpainting. And that's what I'd like to say is the roadmap. This is part two that we're talking about. We've created the value study. Sorry for my shaky easel there. And we've got our good bones for the painting. That's what I kind of call the value study. Now we're going to create a roadmap which is an underpainting. I've got a lot of videos that talk about underpainting. I've got a lot of different underpainting techniques but in this particular beginner video I wanted to kind of go over the nuts and bolts of it and help you guys in understanding not just how to do it but more why to do it. Alright so as I'm still sketching here I'll talk a little bit more about the underpainting. Now you do not have to use the watercolor pencils that you're going to see me use. You can use whatever medium will get color down in mass or in in big shapes that works for you. I have multiple videos on under paintings and how to do them. If you have watercolor and they don't even have to be expensive watercolor fortunately this UART paper takes water. Water does not hurt this paper. This is a great paper. So you can use watercolor in place of the watercolor pencils that you'll see me using. You can use pastels. If you don't have any of those things you can take some of your pastels and use some of the colors that I'll recommend just kind of lay them on their side and you're going to create big areas of color and I'll tell you how you can blend those in even without water. You can use water with pastels to blend them in or you can just scrub them and blend them in with other tools. Okay so I'll try to remember to talk about that but now I'm still just getting the sketch in and that value study is helping me with the sketch. I mean I could do the sketch without it there. You see I started it like that but that value study is what's really going to help me once I get to the underpainting process. Okay and even throughout the rest of the painting. So that's why I'm calling this step one is to create the good bones a simple beginning which is the notan or the value study. Step two is to create a roadmap or an underpainting for a successful painting. You don't always have to do an underpainting but you know I think I pretty much always do an underpainting of sorts okay. There's like I said there's so many different ways to do it but I like to cover up that very in this case it's a cream colored paper but you want to get that paper covered and there's multiple reasons for that. One of them is I like to get a color underneath the painting that's going to complement or make the colors that I choose more beautiful for the painting. Now pardon this jumping ahead a bit I had my big old head in the way and you couldn't see what I was doing. Right now all I've done is I got a little bit of a harder pastel in this case it's called a new pastel in you pastel but I'm just getting some darks and where there's trees are it's kind of kind of helped me see where things are before I get to the underpainting part all right. I've just put the trees in so get a darker pastel or something and kind of just get some of your shapes in there to know where you're going. Now I've got another new pastel just a little harder pastel and I'm keeping a very light touch but all I'm really working on here is I've kind of emulating the value study that I did. I'm looking at my value study. I'm also looking at the reference photo and I've got a super soft touch here I don't want to fill up you know the tooth of the paper and I'm keeping it so loose this under part of your painting keeping it loose is very important and I skipped ahead a bit here I apologize I got my big head in the way again I've got to remember to pull my hair back when I do these videos but as you can see I am emulating the notan or the value study and just getting in big shapes filling in pretty much the goal is I'm going to get color everywhere and now I believe in a second I'm going to start using the actual watercolor pencils again I could have used the watercolor pencils for all of this I just happen to have a couple of darker new pastels right near me all right this is a darker I think this color is called amethyst again you can use whatever you have you can totally go back and look at some of my videos where I just do a watercolor under painting but this I found very neat using these watercolor pencils I like to sketch and you may have a little more control over the watercolor pencil at first over where things are then you would over watercolor if you're not used to mediums with a brush I I absolutely love this I will definitely use this technique again I don't even think you would have to have very expensive watercolor pencils I do like to try to encourage if you're going to get if you're just practicing and you're brand new just use whatever you know I've thrown away I'd say the majority of my beginner work I think all of it as you grow as an artist you end up getting rid of your work from early on so it's okay if you can't afford the most expensive supplies if your supplies are not acid free it's called or archive archival but as you grow as an artist you want to try to get supplies that are archival that don't have acid in them that they're going to last over time so that if a client buys your painting you want to make sure you know it's going to last I'm not going to have it for a while and it yellow or anything like that so again I'm using these watercolor pencils now and I'm just sketching in I'm focusing on the value which means the lightness or the darkness of the color more than the color but if and the lightness or the darkness is the reason for that that value study that you see at the right beneath okay it's just really where are the lights and darks and the no tan is to create a pleasing composition of the lights and darks I'd say that's one of the most important things about your whole painting is this going to be a pleasing composition to look at I mean it doesn't matter how much detail or or vibrant color you have if you don't have a nice composition to begin with and again don't be too hard on yourself these things get better in time go ahead and plan on throwing away a lot of your paintings and when you have that attitude when you start with and you don't expect yourself to be a master artist right away then you're going to have a lot more fun now um the second part of what I was going to say is I'm focusing more on value than color but if I had to say what color I'm focusing on I'm focusing more on warm colors in this it is really beautiful for your final painting especially if you've got a lot of greens if it's a landscape now I didn't have to use a green here it's just kind of put it in because there's a vibrant green in the background but it's really nice if you can lay down colors that are on the opposite side of the color wheel from green and in this case it would be the warmer colors the oranges the reds and the yellows and it really makes your painting pop when you kind of see through those undertones of reds even pinks you know so I'm going to have most of this with the exception of the screen here um in the warm uh color and even this is a warmer green than a cooler green so that I would say with this second part of the painting after you've got your value study we're getting down an under painting we're focusing on the value the light or dark more than the color but if you would like to I encourage to create a warm under painting all of these colors this one I'm using here is a warm color it's a red now notice this red that I'm using it's darker you know than say the yellow that I put down underneath before up there and the reason is it's in the shadow and it's um in the foreground and if you look at the if you squint I encourage squint a whole lot if you squint your eyes and look at the reference photo you can see that the foreground the part in the front even though it's lighter than what's in the shadow it's a lot darker than that strip of light behind the trees so um that's why I use the red in the foreground now I'm right now I'm putting some of the red in the background because some of those trees are darker in the background so I'm going to let that red dark value be my dark value now I'm getting down it's a little bit lighter it's like an orange color and I'm getting that down that's going to combine kind of nicely with that red but what's neat about this uh rngs and reds and yellows especially in the foreground here is when you look at the ground or the grass we have a tendency in our brain to go oh that's green and we don't think about the fact that there's a whole play of color going on the the grass is on top of the ground there is earth and dirt underneath there and it just creates a nice foundation or um or um almost like the dirt underneath the grass so it really is a nice color to use as an underpainting and again I'm using that orange in the background because there are some darker shadowy values in the trees but it's not as dark as those foreground trees you'll see I darken that up now I'm using that yellow um and I actually could have used that yellow as a whole instead of any of that green but I'm using that yellow it's my lightest value if you squint your eyes and look at the reference photo what's the lightest thing in the photo it's that grass that the sun is shining on in this case you see we don't have any sky typically the sky is the lightest thing there's no sky if you and that's the cool thing about doing that value study beneath is we've already established that you already see behind those trees that's where that strip of grass is now for the fun part I'm using some alcohol this is just alcohol you get at Walgreens I know they have different percentage alcohols this one's 91 percent I haven't really found that it matters all that much now I have to remember not to drink that out of that coffee cup which I don't fortunately but um I'm just going to get a medium size brush I find use the biggest brush that you can because it's going to help create looseness instead of getting so fussy and tight in the painting I keep a paper towel handy and I use that just if I sometimes if I have too much of the alcohol on my brush um there's a lot on it here and it's just starts kind of dripping which is fine let it drip okay but if you think it's going to drip too much and it's going to just lighten up all the dark values you just laid down you just blot it on your paper towel a little bit now first I'm focusing on the darks I want to get sometimes I do the value study or the underpainting and I don't put any of the darks in until after I get the reds oranges and yellows down and that's actually kind of a good idea too because if you're not used to doing this that way you don't get your your darks and your lights all blending together you know if you're not used to using the brush so um you can do the darks after if you would like as well all right so I'm just getting the trees all in here and um again I'm just using the alcohol by the way you don't have to use alcohol you can use water water would work the same way it just doesn't dry quite as quickly as the alcohol and I don't know I I kind of find the alcohol it behaves a little differently with the alcohol than the the water I think so anyway that might just be me okay so getting in those dark trees now one thing that is important and I'm going to end up darkening those trees again this again is a roadmap think of this this is not the final painting this is just getting down that guide and that nice warm under color um to to have a guide to have a roadmap for your painting now you see I'm kind of working those background trees you see how those reds and oranges are kind of blending together and then I've got some of those purpley colors kind of in there and um I'm not getting all fussy with it I'm focusing on the value and notice I'm making my strokes kind of just go up and down I feel like those trees are kind of doing that later I'm going to add pastels on top of that now again this is uh or I should stress that keep in mind things that are further away like these trees they get lighter in value again squint your eyes look at that reference photo those foreground trees especially that mass of something that's over to the right are the darkest thing those background trees they're the same kind of trees and if you walked up close to them they'd be dark too like the ones in the foreground but when things are in the distance the atmosphere gets in the way that's why mountains in the distance look purple or blue they're not purple or blue it's all the sky and all the atmosphere that's in between you and that so they lighten in value they get lighter and they cool off okay now I've got a warm under color I'm a warm warm under painting here so they're not cool yet but I'm going to cool things off with the pastels that I lay on top of it but now you see that um mass that I did right behind the tree that is the darkest thing in the painting whatever it is a bush or something and when I paint I try to forget what things are and I just look at the shapes um it really helps uh get you out of the tendency to get detail too quickly just consider yourself I'm painting a mass or a shape now I know I've got a pretty decent shadow going on under those trees and I'm also notice I'm painting directionally I feel like those shadows are sweeping across from right to left so and even the ground that's why I'm making my strokes in a directional path and that gives your painting a sense of movement and um I don't know it's just kind of fun for me to try to follow the way the land is flowing and it's okay if this is a little bit messy I notice I'm some spots aren't even totally painted in and that adds to that real painterly look that impressionistic look which I know a lot of people in our group really like that's how I lean I appreciate and love very realistic paintings but I don't know I'm just drawn to the ones that are just loose and almost feel like a dream um now I'm just getting in see I had some of that little uh magenta purple back there it's probably no it's actually a little another little section of bushes that are lighter because they're further away um so fine-tuning this a little bit you may have noticed I left a little strip of white in between behind the trees and in between the the really bright yellowy green grasses and it's because when I was closer up at the reference photo I could tell there was some sort of I know there's some sort of road there because it's my road it's a little gravel road on a property that we actually were living on for a while after the flooding of our home and it's a pretty tiny house so we're living in a different house now but um but anyway so okay getting this finished up and now this is what I was saying the point of this lesson is the roadmap to the painting step one was a simple beginning the notan or the value study it's called part two was getting a roadmap and it's basically just the under part of your painting now I wanted to show you this real quickly this is where I just experimented with the watercolor pencils and I got real sketchy and loose with it I was just having fun and I wish I had stayed that sketchy and loose with this one but I wanted to point that out because that's what I encourage is to just keep your strokes really loose fun and free also in that little example I just showed if you remember seeing it it didn't have the darks in it yet which is really kind of a neat way to begin as well there's so many different ways and possibilities that we can do this all right now is where I will begin the painting the under painting part or the roadmap to start the rest of the painting is done I'm showing that little cigar cutter it's an excellent little way to cut your pastels um especially the round ones if they fit in that those those are my giro pastels and I I like I like them in smaller sizes than the long sticks so I was cutting it so now is we've got our roadmap done okay that was the point of this second beginner series video but I want to go ahead and go through this painting um and give you as much information as I can because I know you guys have hungry artistic minds so what I'm doing now is I'm reinforcing those darks even though I kind of put them in where they were um it from the value study um notice they weren't really dark until when I start putting this down and you say wow okay they weren't that dark when you did the under painting so I'm just reinforcing the darkest darks in this and uh getting things re-established so to speak and again this under painting is my roadmap because I put it in I don't have to focus on so much on where does this tree go where does that tree go what value is it because I've already got if you notice in the under painting I know what my darkest darks are they're those foreground trees I know what my next darks are those are those shadows in the foreground and the foreground I know what my next value is I would say the third in darkness that would be the background trees I know what my lighter values are that would be those bright grasses in the back and my lightest value would be that road okay so I've really got four values going on here gosh my poor easel I'm always hitting it I gotta get away to be more stable all right so now again I've got my roadmap I already know there's a beautiful um warm light value green going on back there and I'm getting that in a lot of times I like to get my darkest dark in and my lightest light and then I know okay this is where the rest of my values need to fall in between those two I've had a tendency sometimes to get a value too light or too dark too quickly so if you get that in right away it kind of helps you work from the far extremes down to the middle values and I'm keeping a light touch here I'm laying it on its side I see a little bit of that green is kind of peeking through if you look at the reference photo just a little bit of it is going behind that tree oh and also feel free to use this reference image if you like I have been creating little clickable um URLs in my description section I'll try to remember to put this particular reference photo in it so that you can click it and use this actual reference photo to paint from if you'd like to just go along with this video and I realize we all have different supplies so just do the best you can I was pointing out there my next darkest value is I'm using my little cutter is are those background trees okay um and I'm using notice I've got my warmer underpainting back there it's kind of a purple magenta and some oranges back there and now I'm going to cool them off I'm going to layer on top of them with this cooler medium value this is not a real dark value it's kind of a medium value pastel and I'm constantly kind of measuring and looking if I have a mistake or something um and I think it probably helps you guys when I do have real time because you can see I do get purposeful at times and sometimes if I speed up the videos it looks like I'm always she's just so good she just never has to measure do anything oh yeah I do but now notice how when I add this really pretty blue on top of those magenta colors do you see how that color is kind of exciting and vibrating and if you squint your eyes as I'm doing this they they start to look like background trees okay you're not getting in a lot of detail that's another thing that happens when things recede in the distance they get lighter in value they get cooler in color and they get less detailed okay foreground is going to get darker in value bolder in color and more detail but while I have that blue often I will um try to maximize the pastel while I have it in my hand I know that those shadows under the trees are going to be cooler in temperature things in the shadows are almost always cooler always cooler really and cooler means blues purples um just that side of the color wheel and so I'm just laying down on top of that that uh ground that I've created with the warmer colors I'm laying down some of those cooler blues and some of that a little bit of a darker value if you squint your eyes and look at the reference photo again if you look at the shadow especially the left side of the shadow under those trees the left side um is not as dark as the right side of the shadow but if you look at the left side of that shadow squint your eyes and look at the background trees they're almost the same value okay so that's why I used that same blue um now I'm just getting in a little bit more I'm establishing um the um actual drawing or where things are a little bit more precisely with my strokes now and uh you see now how adding that green doesn't that that painting already looks more exciting than if I hadn't put that underpainting down what if I had just used all greens and blues and this um that magenta and orange and red and yellow just makes things more exciting now what I'm doing here I'm using the little edge of the pastel there on the circular part to create if you can't see the reference photo real close here but there's little um sections in the it's almost like that road goes way back into a forest kind of meandering around and light is hitting um in between trees in the background there so I'm just getting a little bit of that in not super precisely yet but just to remind me that it's there okay now I'm starting notice my strokes um I'm going from a transition of horizontal strokes well I'm quitting now but to vertical horizontal stroke are usually the strokes you use in the backgrounds as things recede we don't see grasses growing straight up and down as much when they're far away we see it more when they are close up now I know that little area that's peeking through back there where the sun was hitting it's not quite as bright in the green as those that other light light green I use now I'm just kind of glazing that over I know there is some green there I mean I can see there is green but that green is so much more interesting and exciting now as I'm just taking the side of the pastel and just kind of glazing it over keep your strokes really really soft and gentle at this point so that you know you can correct things if you need to later rather than really pressing down real hard with that pastel so I'm putting just before this I put a little bit more of that blue down beside those trees I could see the earth was kind of growing up around them and there was a little bit more shadowy there and I noticed too it's a little bit just darker in general around the basis of the trees typically that's the way it is I see that the shadow now correcting a little bit goes out a little further up on the left side of the trees and then I had originally drawn it in again I really apologize for my easel shaking so much now back to where I was talking about vertical strokes now I'm starting to work my pastels a little more vertically because I know grasses kind of grow in that direction I'm still keeping a super super light touch just in case I want to kind of change direction with some of the things I want to do but can you see now if you squint your eyes can you see already the painting is starting to take shape and really at this point in the video I don't know what am I 30 minutes into the video that's that's the only time it has taken me now I did create the value steady all right but the under painting and to this point was only 30 minutes okay so that's not a long time to kind of get the the direction of your painting and already start to see it take shape I happen to love as I said before really impressionistic things and sometimes I look back at my videos I'm like man I could have just done a little bit more on this painting and left it but I don't know that might be a little too rough for some people's taste the trees do need some some branches and leaves on them because there are some of those up at the top but but I really like the the play of color that's happening here and so again that's the the main point of this part of the video was to help you understand that you're creating a base to work from and once you get that down your painting just has a much better direction to go and it actually makes your painting easier when you do these steps rather than just jump right in and start painting on a blank piece of paper now I love this particular purpley blue color what is that like a it's not quite it's more purple than a periwinkle blue but see how cool that is man that really pushed those trees back squint your eyes you just see them they look like they're far away now while I have this one in my hand I'm going to see if there's anywhere else I could use that particular value and I think yes some of those little shadowy areas that are cooler it's just going to have a nice little harmony now that's another reason too I wanted to mention that I keep a certain pastel if I've used it in one place I see if there's somewhere else I can use it because it creates a harmony in your painting I even do that with the sky you know skies are typically blue grasses green trees leaves are green but often even in clouds and in the sky I try to carry some of the colors in the land up into the sky because it makes your painting just blend better and feel better it feels more cohesive and rather than having a separation between the land and the sky I hope that makes sense now I'm using this lighter pastel just to get in the road here and an indication of kind of that lighter road and that's going to be the lightest thing in the painting okay so I'm going to keep this real time but I'm going to add some music and let you guys just watch the process and if you decide to join along with me just click the link in this video to see the reference photo print it out and hopefully learn a whole lot from this beginner series I am excited to see some of your comments that you are excited about me really focusing on beginner lessons I always say my heart is for the beginner because I had such a struggle early on I couldn't not only couldn't afford to go to workshops or anything outside of the home I didn't have the time so I love being able to give this to you guys and help you guys out and I really really hope you're benefiting from it so be sure to comment like the video those things do help me I share often that my heart is to try to keep these lessons free as long as I can I mean maybe in the future I'll have a patreon account where I give more advanced lessons but I always want to try to have good beginner lessons on here and it does help me out if you guys like share comment it does send my what happens is it sends my rating up in youtube to where when people look for pastel lessons mine comes up you know and I I hope they're of value so I hope that happens so I appreciate your help with that and all right guys enjoy the rest of this video and I will come back and talk to you guys in a minute I'm wrapping it up at this point I do a little bit more on it to finish it up but I wanted to just say I really hope these are helping I do have more on the way the next video is actually going to be a bit of this same technique but as I mentioned about in the middle of the video how I wish I had not added the dark at the beginning and just did the under painting with the watercolor pencils well that's what I'm going to do on the next video and

What's up, everybody? Jason here for jaspyscaseplace.com. We just sold out a random number block that unlocks NT football, or NT basketball, I should say, sorry. Number four, random number block, and it features the magic and the thunder. Magic and thunder. So again, you get a piece of these teams via a serial number of any big hits, like that chat pop out. It'll go by the serial number, by the first number on the left side and the serial number dash, you know. So there you go. Roll the dice. Names, numbers. Let's do it. Six out of three, nine times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Oh, for sure, Kev. I 100% know what you're on. I understand what you mean, but my thing is that he's just such a big popular name, especially living in Southern California and living in the United States that you would think that there is people out there trying their goddamn best to get anything out of someone like Otani. So even just know where he eats, you know. What he likes. Does he have a girlfriend?  But the fact is that even then, dude, like you still can't. Because you know, people here, especially Paparazzi in California, especially Southern California, it's rough, man. So that's what I'm saying. Like kudos to him because he must have a really good team around him because obviously we have no idea what the hell's going on with his life, although we would love to know. You know, because I feel like, I feel like celebrity-wise, I mean, you can still find it all to other celebrities or actors that are potentially Japanese of that and know a lot more about them because they might be out of the public, all right? Potentially, but even then, dude, that's what I'm saying. Like it's just, it's crazy. It's interesting. What's strange has started once the draft is over, whether you're the first round pick or the ninth round pick. All right, so nine times, nine times. Let's see what we got going on here. So Josh with five and one, Allen with zero. Josh with six, three, seven, nine, four, eight, and two. So there you go, guys. That's the number in there. Now I gotta do two more R&Bs, guys. So I gotta do them in several videos, but next one's coming up and then the following one and then we'll do the break, guys. So thank you.


A leading Yoruba social-political group, Afeneferre, has lambasted President Buahari, describing the Nigerian president as an unrepentant tribalist. Afeneferre noted that Buahari's interview on RIS television on Thursday was full of lies, inconsistencies, contradictions and uttered disrespect for other ethnic nationalities. The group's secretary-general, Sholah Ebuseni, said this in a statement in Akhure, the understate capital on Thursday, in a reaction to the president's interview. According to the Pan-Yoruba Social Cultural Organization, Buahari came on national television to tell lies to the world and disrespect Nigerians.


Hello, and welcome back here to the channel.  That's because this video is definitely the announcement about I will be heading to st Louis this week for FD I'll be there this weekend So if you guys are gonna be at FD st. Louis, make sure you guys come find me I'll have some stuff to give away just like I did in Erie So make sure you guys follow me on all social media I was found description box below as well as Instagram because that's where you'll be seeing posts from st Louis Here on my Instagram as well as probably doing maybe some YouTube or Instagram lives while I'm there So make sure you follow me on all social media all of its found in the description box below So some big changes with the 15 because I've determined after some recent testing That I do definitely drive better in first person now I know recently I've been driving in competitions in third for content But you're gonna be seeing a lot more of the first person as you can see Big changes in the 15 it is now left-hand drive because being you know from the US left-hand drive car So the car got switched from the right-hand drive to left-hand drive So God do some a little bit modeling changes obviously change the energies into energy halo seats and things like that But I pulled the big halo seat off because of the blind spots that I had when I was in cockpit view So we're gonna be ripping this here at st. Louis. Make sure you guys do follow me on social media So we're gonna go full send we do have a power plant as well as you can hear We do have the RTR motor, but There's a small spoolie boy on it now addie This thing is loud a little spoolie boy, so we're gonna go rip here at st. Louis See what we can do in our 15 first runs out fresh tune fresh car If you notice coldest water energy innovations you will have a dash a Little bit into the tire wall there Unfortunately, that does happen. I did get lost in there, but We can go through So one thing that I would like to mention is like driving more and more in first-person mode has become More of a staple I do drive in first-person or with my VR all the time I'm just adjusting the camera lighting for you guys. So it stops fading in and out. There we go. We're good but Contact aspect I do do a lot First person is definitely more Closer to the zones and things like that. So we're gonna try not hit the wall this time That big changes only this 15. Oh, we've already heard the motor I Definitely a very difficult track This is a fresh tune and obviously a new build and new power and things like that that we Pop the motor Have a fresh motor going into this run and it will take a look at the replay angle We hurt the motor again, I gotta fix that adding we got to fix the motors Losing boost I think we should probably go down to 70 maybe that'll help us from popping our motor Maybe we're just peeking our boost way too much Does not look like we pop the motor on that. Oh, yeah, we did So we'll take a look at the last run wasn't too terrible. We're going to see what it looks like I know we weren't anywhere near zones. Like I said, this track is a From the red So we didn't hurt the motor in this run as well as you see it's already smoking That's something we're gonna have to And Switch tracks to a another track that we do definitely know and it could run fully so let's go switch it up So by track We in the cards, but we're gonna definitely try for sure we're in the grass. I wasn't paying attention This car is just so loud. We should probably lower that just a smidge A lot of people are saying we need better louder car sounds. Well, here you go So we're gonna run FD Irwindale and see what we can do in the new 250 Try that run again And see what we can do fifth gear on the bank a little wall tap, but nothing super major So as you can see this power plant is very suited for some heavy high speed tracks Definitely, like I said, definitely got to fix the modeling. The steering wheel is going to go up a little bit more Notice a little bit low So we got to fix the modeling up do some re-texturing off the dash and stuff like that Let's go full send We managed to save that but too much send so let's take a look at the replay on this one We go from the get go from the beginning So we're gonna take a look at the full replay of this So like I said, I feel more comfortable being in the car on the left side of the car So it's definitely what we're going to be changing up to as you can see nice and high on the bank Running the wall just a little wall tap there I'm in transition nice on there Quick flip How close would we okay? We were kind of running right in that wall Coming off there angled up a little too soon Managed to work our way out there, but unfortunately not the best way out there. So that second run Let's take a look at that one See nice and high on the wall So definitely a much smoother place for me being in the car. That's what we oversensitive But we managed to bring it back So I know there's always this big debate first person versus third person. Well For me, I'm way more For me, I'm way more comfortable in first but for video aspects I don't do a lot in third person for you guys, but if you guys are enjoying the first person views Let me know down in the comment section down below and as always I like thank you guys for coming back and watching another video I'll see you guys on the track


This room right here, there's somebody in this room. Whether you met him yet or not, that'll double your income or your net worth. I guarantee you. The hard part of life is finding the person in a world of 8 billion people. How do you filter and find? So this is the filtering problem. There's this good book, write this book down called Work Rules by Lazlo Bach. Everybody should read this book because it's the science on how to select people for your business. This is written by the head of hiring at Google. He gets 3 million applications a year. So they went deep into the science and the psychology. You can actually use this for your friend circle too. This is not just for business, okay?


Welcome back agent nation. My name of course is agent a beam star and let's get Roy into the news ladies and gentlemen. Oh my god. There's a lot of news today. I'm excited anxious a little disappointed There's a lot going on. Okay. Uh, so 2k 19 launch at least the legends edition did so if you got this version of the game You got the game yesterday. Uh safe to say It was a disaster and it was a disaster last year as well So I don't know what we expected and I'm gonna just tell you guys now the nine hours I had the game early before all you guys hopped on Servers are fantastic. All right But the suit as soon as you guys came on the servers were just garbage So the first thing that happened when people hopped on at midnight is they were buying VC Of course, they wanted to upgrade their players people were buying VC and not getting it problem number one The people that bought VC and got it tried to spend some of it and this happened roll the clip I go to something that is free. Y'all see it say zero. It costs nothing. I put it in my cart look Why did you all just take a hundred K VC from me for something that was free my god? I want y'all to retweet this if 2k just took your VC for some reason because I'm pissed Let's say that you bought your VC and that problem also didn't happen to you You had other issues to deal with of course It was players being corrupted left and right. There is so many people hitting me up Hundreds and hundreds of people hitting me up saying agent the second I create my player in NBA 2k 19 before I even walk out the door the game crashes It doesn't even let you through the doors so you can't even play my career and they try deleting save data Think of every workaround. They've tried it The only other way to play on your account is to use another account. There's something wrong with that specific account There's actually an update So this is a day after and I wanted to wait on the video to make sure everything I said was true And there's a fix for what I just talked about Bags plug put out a tweet from a guy called Dion 601 and he said first add the person who needs help on PSN and Xbox Then under the play now menu have them join you as a friend from there They can join in the stage Then you can go to the my player appearance and change their face to one of the preset faces once they have that done You can load back into the stage and they need to close the app and reopen my career So basically the way to get around that is to join one of your friends change what you need to change close app And then try and rejoin again. Hope that helps Let's say I'm over here and I want to get a hundred yards in that direction Let's say in between me and the destination is a field and in that field There's mines and you just have to traverse the field and not hit the mines and any time you play with your Player or you get a haircut you buy something in the store Whatever it will any sort of transaction you're risking potentially hitting a mine And all you want to do is play the game have fun and reach your destination It might have been a weak analogy, but you get the point I haven't had to deal with any of those problems myself My player has been fine on both of my accounts on my Kobe account and my dot needs me count I haven't had a single issue. So it's everybody else having these issues. I haven't been touched yet But again, it's a minefield. So you never know when I'm gonna walk over a mine Hakeem on Twitter sent me this tweet saying agent Oh, I spent $150 on 2k 19 when I go to change my hairstyle a glitches And I can't even use my player anymore and why when I try and reload the app I get stuck on a hundred percent to get to the neighborhood listen to the community agent Please help help please first of all I need you guys to know I am not 2k support or a developer Alright guys, I cannot do anything about your problems aside from talk to other people about your problems Which is what I'm doing now to the camera There's other problems with the game and I haven't checked this myself But I seen a few people that play a poem saying that if you're in the east coast and your friend is in the west coast You guys can't match up Which if you remember was a problem people had to deal with in 2k 18 as well And it took like a month or so to solve last year So if they already have the fix it it makes sense to just drop it also on top of that I was getting delayed earlier today, and there's a dude flicking his lag switch So I immediately DM the one and only Baluba Mike Wang and I was like, did you know? Did you know this was still happening? I'll let you know we got to do something about the lag switching man So yeah safe to say it has not been a flawless launch and keep in mind like this is the early edition of the game Right, there's plenty of people that are gonna get the Yanis onto the kumpo cover Someone like three days when those guys hop on yo, it's gonna be our rat ladies and gentlemen If the servers can't fix themselves in three days, I don't even want to play on that day I just know it's gonna be some cheese. All right. So that's the 2k stuff out the way So that's not where the problems end and people are reporting all kinds of stuff And I can't cover everything of course, but those are the main problems. I heard people talking about I'm just wondering how is it even possible to have Negative one VC. How could it even go in the negative? I don't need it does not add up to me logically But I will say this when the game launched like nothing was working and I just went to sleep I don't even want to bother but when I woke up it was like 7 a.m. and Some things were not everything but a lot of the things that weren't working at midnight are working now So they are working to fix it for our next story of the day There was a tweet put up by Mike Wang and it changed the 2k universe everything We knew about dribbling shooting everything everything every attribute changed with this tweet Someone said Mike Wang a tweet say could you go over what you said on stream yesterday about ratings and speed boosting after playing? Well before you even have takeover Question mark Mike Wang responded saying this ratings fluctuate gradually as you get closer to hot or cold They don't just suddenly jump when you hit actual takeover or cold icons So if you're 85 ball control a couple of good plays might push you to tier 3 before you officially hit takeover now I happen to have a 6-4 play shooter which starts off at 86 ball control and There's like if you get a turnover on the first plate For example your guy gets a little cold and it drops to 85 and that means until you do something that gets your player a little bit Hot you know you can't speed boost anymore So if you thought that you can max out your player at 86 and you're gonna be fine You are wrong because your ratings not just ball handling But everything fluctuates throughout the game depending on how well you're playing So if you're playing bad and you lose speed boosting because of it Then you're playing even worse and it's like a spiral out of control So when you're playing games and you're just starting out you have to make sure those first couple possessions really count Do you guys remember a few days ago? I dropped the video and I was reacting to brutal Sims video where he was showing an 82 ball control shot Create a speed boosting 82 ball control still cannot speed boost naturally But if you're hot in the game because you've been playing while your takeover will get you some attributes To reach 86 so you can speed boost the only problem is you don't know what your attributes are because it doesn't tell you in game So the only way you'll know if you've reached tier 3 is if you try a momentum crossover or something I think it would be cool if you can like pin a couple attributes on the side of your screen Like three-point shooting ball handling speed or stamina whatever the case I think that it help especially if you can monitor the ratings with Takeover isn't that a brilliant idea guys? I just thought of that on the spot did not plan that all right anyway For our next story of the day NBA 2k lab has been hard at work every time a 2k game drops They're in the lab trying to figure out all the details of course Mike Wang is just kicking back He knows all the details, but he won't tell us because he wants us to find out for ourselves But here we have NBA 2k lab dropping gems man They sent me this tweet and I'm not gonna lie for the first day I didn't see it, but then somebody liked it and it showed up in my timeline again And I was like wait what this tweet says if you're wide open it's possible to green 100% of your shots this year you might be like alright agent That kind of just makes sense. What is it so exciting about that? What does that mean? You might not know why that's important So let me break it down in previous years if you released the ball perfectly in your shot meter There was a 60% chance you get a green light which means 40% of the time you get it all white Which means like half of that time you missed a very perfect release So just if we're keeping up of course, there's a lot of factors like were you open were you contested? What's your attribute right? Is it high? Is it low?  You can okay. It's back. All right Patience agent patience. I know you want to stop this video to murder all of the fruit flies All right, relax. They're just here for the bananas long story short if you care about a skills gap This is fantastic news. Of course. We don't know all the numbers behind what that is And I'm sure that's what they're trying to get now the game just came out So these guys are gonna be day night working to figure it out and when I do I'll hit them up And hopefully we can release a video like that at the end of the day It's pretty simple if you're releasing the ball Well, you deserve to be rewarded with more made shots if you're releasing it poorly You deserve to be punished with more missed shots. That's what a skills gap is for our next story of the day Ladies and gentlemen NBA 2k drop the trailer that I myself do not care about it was a momentous trailer And I believe they actually showed us this trailer when we're at the 2k event like a week ago And even then Rappaport was like guys don't record this with your phones He was kind of just trolling so I recorded it with my phone and then I realized like midway It was just a lot of slow motion of NBA players doing dunks and stuff. We really didn't get any It ain't it. Yeah, it's just it's just like I Mean I could put something like that together right now with the game Really didn't help anybody I guess it looks cool right show off the graphics some new animations Maybe anyway the game is out so the trailer really doesn't matter anymore We're usually like they release momentous trailers like a week or two before the game launch They release this one the day before the game launch anyway for our next story of the day Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a story I will end this video off saying this and you guys will thank me that I got this clip for you because it is Quite possibly the most awkward and hilarious thing I've ever seen Ronnie 2k do so Ronnie 2k hit me up yesterday He's like yo agent come through on my live stream I was like I think he had DeAndre Aten on the live stream does Brian on the live stream and some Instagram models on the live stream All right, do you know where this is going? I I know where this is going okay, I'm just gonna play the clip and prepare for cringe and awkwardness and You're gonna put a smile on your face. Maybe not actually listen. I don't want to judge your reaction Just react. Okay, roll the clip. I'm doing it. Hi. I'm Nicky But people want to see the pretty faces, too Or no, yes, we can see You lowered it now, but that's fine What do Roddy is one of a kind man That ladies and gentlemen made my night when I saw it it was pure Humor hilarity pure comedy guys fantastic news. I passed my grass examination I'm feeling great ladies and gentlemen when I saw him pull out the ruler browse Whiting buckets, but I made it through ladies and gentlemen. He said it was under 15 centimeters.  I'm gonna be alright So since then I've been looking for some creative ways to piss off the neighbors guys Let me know if you know anybody who works at a marching band. Hey, I have a pretty clever idea How much more of these I'm gonna do because the game is already out I mean what more news is there? Maybe like maybe once every couple weeks or like that. Yeah, I might stick one in We'll see how things go. I'm not gonna force these though. The series did well It was fun. I didn't honestly expect it to go more than one episode But anyway, we're just gonna leave it where it is ladies and gentlemen if you want to see more of these drop a like subscribe to the channel if you're not already and I haven't playlist with all my job alerts here and I have some random video You're definitely gonna like cuz you like all my videos. Let's be honest. All right, click that one, too I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one. I'm out. Peace


No! The answer to that question is no. I wanted to tackle this question kind of once and for all because I've seen it come up a couple times both in real life and online. So elective leg amputation versus, I should probably look the term up, but I'm guessing it's probably traumatic leg amputation, is not that someone wants to have it versus they don't want to have it. I never wanted to have my leg amputated. That was never part of my life plan. It's been something that has been possible for a very long time and I made the decision this year because I was tired of living in pain. I was done with living kind of surgery to surgery and eating narcotics like it was my job just to make it through days. So an elective leg amputation is essentially when it is doctor approved, doctor recommended, there may be other options, maybe you can hold off, but your life is not on the line. It's not like you have an infection that is going straight to your heart and doctors or taking you into surgery immediately, taking your limb off because it's that or you're dying. An elective leg amputation is what I had where I had gone through 10 previous surgeries, I'd gone through 14 years of pain and I did not want to go through it anymore. I had the option of possibly looking at an ankle replacement, but with 10 previous surgeries, with so much damage there anyways, and with the kind of life that I live, I have a very, very low rate of that working and would have to leave a very inactive life, live a very inactive life, which is not something I'm interested in doing and tired of living in pain and tired of living surgery to surgery. And so I said no more, I was done. And so I did something I've never wanted to do and had my leg amputated. That did not mean that I wanted that to happen. That did not mean that it was easy. That didn't mean that I haven't had hard days or I'm not having hard days because absolutely I am and I do. It just means that given the situation, it was the best possible option. And I struggle with that word elective because I think of electives in like college, you know, I went to college and took elective classes and they were always like the fun ones, like the ones I wanted to do. The amputation course was not an elective course I ever wanted to take, but it is one that I am currently learning and it's an adventure and a journey and I am embracing it as much as I can. And honestly, there are parts of it that are cool and interesting and new. And I get to be a part of a new community and all of that. That doesn't dim the fact that like this was never in my life plan, you know? But there are so many things that are never in our life's plans. I've had my house burned down when I was 16 and then it did again in the Black Forest Fire here in Colorado. And we lost literally everything we owned in hours and life started over. And I've been a victim of sexual assault and domestic violence. Also things that were never in my life's plan. So things happen that we don't plan for and then you adjust and you move on. And so I don't want to say move on like it doesn't have an effect on us, but we figure out what life will now look like, what a new normal is. And so that's what I'm in the process of doing. I'm in the process of figuring out a new normal without a leg. And I'm at the beginning I think of that journey and doing my best to have a fun time with it and enjoy it because I'm going to have days where I break down and worth and I'm not going to have any fun. But hey, you know what? On the days when I can, I might as well have a fun time, you know? So that is what an elective leg amputation is. A lot of people face amputations that are the result of an accident or combat or medical condition like diabetes or blood issues or something like that. So there are a really wide variety of reasons for amputations. People often just come up to amputees and thank them for their service assuming that it must have come from some military injury. But that is actually not the highest percentage of why people have amputations. So that is a little information if you didn't know about amputations and elective amputations. I hope that cleared some things up now. Before you go, make sure that you hit subscribe. I think the button's right there. And like if you'd like this video or if it helped you at all. I would love to see you back on this channel. I release videos fairly often. I actually don't have a schedule yet, but I will figure out one eventually. I'd love to see you back. I hope you guys are doing well and I look forward to talking to you soon. Bye.

Thanks for watching everybody Congrats to those who hit


Everyone is talking about the deep learning revolution. Everyone is saying that artificial intelligence will transform our society. But I'd like to add one more thought. AI is transforming the way that we do science. It's often said that seeing is believing. And sometimes, science is just the simple act of seeing. Something incredible. Through his telescope, Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter. And Leuvenuck, looking through his microscope, saw microbial life forms for the very first time. So let's look at the brain, magnified by 100,000 times. You can think of these as the pages of a 3D coloring book. It would have taken a century for a person to color all these neurons, even with no coffee breaks or sleep. Fortunately, an AI did the coloring for us automatically. If you click on a 2D cross-section of any neuron, you see the entire 3D shape now. You see cell bodies, you see branches. Dendrites studded with thorns, like long-stemmed roses. And if we zoom out, we can see what you learned in high school science class. Neurons resemble trees. But don't get the wrong impression. Don't think that neurons are floating in empty space.  And when two neurons touch, we can sometimes see a synapse. Here, at this synapse, a purple neuron sends signals to a yellow neuron. Why does neuroscience need AI? Automated microscopes now produce images, torrents of images, so enormous that no human can comprehend them. We have stretched the notion of science as seen to its limit. Today, we need AI to do the seeing for us. Just one cubic millimeter of brain contains a billion synapses and five kilometers of neural branches. If the AI can see all that, it can tell us exactly how these neurons are wired to each other. It can give us the ultimate brain map, the connectome. And there's more information. Neurons blink on and off in this green video, shot through a microscope looking at the living, functioning brain of an animal. And overlaid on this activity map, we see the electron microscopic images of the same neurons. So the map includes both structure and function. And you've been looking at the neocortex. It's the size of a dish towel.  It's huge in humans, but small in mice and monkeys. And many neuroscientists think that this structure of the brain contains the secrets of human intelligence. By studying its connectome, we hope to understand how much genes determine the connectome. And we also, by comparing with the activity map, hope to understand how the connectome is shaped by learning from experiences. So neuroscientists think that every time you have an experience, it alters your connectome. And that's how memories are stored. And that's why I coined a slogan, I am my connectome. When will we be able to read memories from connectomes? Well, the first steps are being taken today. So we like to think that we are smarter than animals, which is mysterious because the neocortex of all animal species, all mammalian species, looks superficially the same. Are we smarter just because we have more neocortex? Our brains are bigger? Or is it because there's some difference in the connectional organization? 1960s-era neuroscience led to artificial neural nets, which led to deep learning as we know it today. And we're going to have a radically new understanding of the neocortex based on the new kinds of data we receive. That's going to change our knowledge of human intelligence and maybe inspire a new generation of AI.  Your brain is one million times larger, and that's a zettabyte of data. If we're able to map your connectome 20 years from now, will we be able to simulate your mind? Now, the pioneers of AI, way back when, took inspiration from the brain to build artificial neural nets, and now the tables are turned, AI has grown up. AI is being used to accelerate progress in understanding the brain. And so we're closing that feedback loop. It's going to be very powerful when we do. Philosophers love to ask the question, is the brain complex enough to understand itself? Whoa. My answer is that humans, assisted by artificial intelligence, will conquer the final frontier, our brains. Thanks very much.
