We outfit you for adventure Last night we discovered my plan to hike up to the Gracie Creek Overlook was put on hold due to the rattle-headed copper faces taking up residence there. So I had to back up and punt on what I was going to do next. The great thing about filming is at times you are forced to look at things a little harder and come up with a creative approach to show something in a way that isn't seen every day by the naked eye. Something like waspers hanging on to a golden rod on the edge of a cliff on a really windy day in slow motion. All joking aside, I was able to salvage my trip by catching a couple of time lapses as the overcast clouds started moving out and the sun began poking through. Even though I didn't make it to the Gracie Creek Overlook, I was still able to catch an amazing show that happens every day in these mountains.

When I think of the world's top fashion brands today, none of them produce anything today. If anything, the world's top fashion brands, whether Chanel or Dior or Nike or H&M, are all glorified marketeers. That's what they're in the business of. And what we're needing is almost a counterculture of marketeers who make buying less, who make secondhand, who make really thinking about these issues and making it cool to re-wear over and over again part of the cultural narrative. We want more celebrities to wear the same thing on the red carpet. We want people to not be ashamed of wearing the same outfit over and over again. Sometimes the climate conversations end up in very wonky spaces and it makes it very difficult to be accessible in a fast way.


In this video we'll start the course off with a high level overview to the area of systems ecology. We'll firstly talk about the systems paradigm in general, before looking at some of the main theories and models that constitute systems ecology, including energetics and thermodynamics, emergence, hierarchy and feedback loops, before finally talking a bit about the context and relevance of this domain to contemporary science and sustainability. The term ecology was introduced in the mid 19th century, but the German zoologist Ernst Heckel, and it can be literally translated to mean the study of the household of nature. Heckel intended it to be the study of the relationship between biological organisms, their interaction with each other and their physical environment. Ecology can be understood as the study of ecosystems, which are macroscale systems of interacting biotic and abiotic elements. As such, it is an interdisciplinary science that sits at the intersection of physical and biological sciences, including elements of biology, geography and earth science. Ecology is a relatively young science then, that is formed out of biology, but more specifically botany and population dynamics. A major part of its formation during the 20th century was in the study of energy and nutrient flows through ecosystems. In the latter half of the 20th century, the study was stimulated by the development of new tools and techniques, including radioisotope traces, computer science and applied mathematics that enabled ecologists to label, track and measure the movement of particle nutrients and energy through whole ecosystems. These modern methods enabled a new stage in the development of ecology called systems ecology. Systems ecology is then the study of ecosystems that uses mathematical modelling, computation and as the name implies, is based upon systems theory. As with other areas of system science, the user systems theory as an approach involves the adoption of a holistic paradigm based around synthetic reasoning, meaning that systems ecology seeks a holistic view of the interaction and transactions within and between biological and geological systems on various scales. With this alternative approach, it does not restrict itself simply to the study of natural biophysical processes, but systems ecology now gives equal attention to the human dimension, whereas standard ecology sees human industrial and economic activity as largely outside of its domain. Systems ecology recognises that the function of any ecosystem can be influenced by human economies in a fundamental way, and that human industrial economic activity is a fundamental part of ecosystems around the world today. It has therefore taken an additional transdisciplinary step by including economics in the consideration of coupled socio-ecological systems. As such, systems ecology takes an expansive domain of interest, crossing almost all areas, from physics to biology to economics and social studies truly try and understand the workings of earth systems in all their multi-dimensional complexity. A central part of systems ecology is this holistic paradigm derived from systems theory, which is in contrast to our more traditional approach taken within the natural sciences called analysis. Traditionally, in modern science, when looking at macroscopic features of a given system, scientists have tried to find the origin of these phenomena by looking at the structure and properties of their component parts. By breaking the system down and then describing it as some linear combination of the parts. This process of reasoning is called analysis. Most of the success of modern science has relied on an analytical reductionist approach, in which systems are taken apart to examine the individual components and how they interact together. Historical examples are the isolation and characterization of the elements to the periodic table and the discovery of the particles that make up atoms. In the biological sciences, reductionism has also been very successful. Examples range from the purification of proteins, DNA and RNA, and the study of their structures and activities to the sequencing and analysis of whole genomes. Through analysis, we've developed a large and sophisticated body of knowledge within many specific domains, but this paradigm has also taken modern science down a particular trajectory. This is illustrated by one of the great heroes of nonlinear science, the chemist Iliar Prigge, when he wrote, this is indeed an essential part of the scientific revolution that we're witnessing at the end of the 20th century. Science is a dialogue with nature. In the past, this dialogue has taken many forms. We feel that we're at the end of a period that started with Galileo, Copernicus and Newton and culminated with the discoveries of quantum mechanics and relativity. This was a glorious period, but in spite of all of its marvellous achievements, it has led to an oversimplified picture of nature, a picture which neglects essential features. Classical science emphasizes stability, order and equilibrium. Today, we discover instabilities and fluctuation everywhere. Our view of nature is changing dramatically. In the past, the usual way to study complex phenomena was based on simplifying them through analytical reductionism, describing them as simple systems analogous to machines or by aggregating and averaging through statistical analysis, describing them as unorganized complexity. But complex systems, such as ecosystems, exist at a threshold between order and chaos. Because they are too complex to be treated as machines and too organized to be assumed random and averaged, they are best understood in terms of patterns and processes that emerge as we put the parts together. Simple systems may be governed by a single global rule that can be described in a beautifully compact equation, but complex systems are not governed by a single rule. They are what emerges out of the distributed interaction of many different elements. An ecosystem is what emerges out of the interaction of many different biotic and abiotic elements on different levels. Whereas with analysis, we are breaking physical systems down to their most basic constituent elements. With systems ecology, we're interested in what happens when we put things together, the processes that emerge on different levels as we build them up. Instead of talking about the properties of the parts, we're talking about the connections between them. The fact that the properties of the individual units can't always explain the whole has been known from the earliest times of science. In this context, it is often said that the whole is more than the sum of its parts, meaning that the global behavior exhibited by a given system will display different features from those associated to the individual components. A more appropriate statement would be that the whole is something else than the sum of its parts, since in most cases completely different properties arise from the interaction among the components. For example, the properties of water that make the molecules so unique for life can't be explained in terms of the separate properties of hydrogen and oxygen, even though we can understand them in detail from quantum mechanical principles. Some properties, such as memory in the brain, can't be reduced to the understanding of single neurons. Life itself is a good example. Nucleic acids, proteins or lipids are not alive by themselves. It is the cooperation among different sets that actually creates a self-sustaining pattern called life. An example of this new approach to science is systems biology, which recognizes that through the analytical approach, we have gained a very thorough understanding of the component parts to biological systems. But the one of the greatest challenges in biology today is putting it all together. There is a large and rapidly growing body of information about the building blocks of cells, proteins, RNA, DNA, lipids, etc. But how these molecules form organelles and how cells form tissues and organs is far from understood or equally how in developmental biology the genome creates the organism. Self-organization plays a central role in all of these processes and the answers are still largely a mystery. This is obviously not just an issue in biology on the micro level, but also on the macro level in understanding ecosystems and just as importantly coupled socio-ecological systems. So we've talked a bit about the basic paradigm to systems ecology as based upon synthetic reasoning, and we'll now try to give an outline to some of its main principles and theoretical models. Systems ecology studies ecosystems through abstract mathematical models and computation. An ecosystem model is an abstract, typically mathematical representation of an ecological system ranging in scale from an individual population to an ecological community and even the entire biosphere which is studied to gain understanding of the real system. Systems theory is a formal modeling language that is based upon the model of a system. A system is a highly abstract model. In its essence it is simply a set of parts and relations between those parts through which they are interdependent in affecting some joint outcome. This model proves to be very effective in providing a generic language for talking about all kinds of entities from a single cell to the entire Earth's system. Systems ecology often deals with ecosystems on a higher level of abstraction than standard ecology in order to be able to remove the details and derive formal models. These formal models of systems theory go hand in hand with computational methods and enable the interpretation of large amounts of data. This approach of using abstract models and computation allows us to approach very complex ecological systems such as the whole ecology of the Earth in a formal fashion. Systems ecology is one of the few theoretical tools that can simultaneously examine a system from the level of an individual all the way up to the level of ecosystems dynamics. It is an especially valuable approach for investigating systems so large and complex that experimentations are impossible or even observations of the entire system are impractical such as when talking about the entire biosphere. A second fundamental set of ideas within systems ecology is that of energetics interpreting ecosystems in terms of the flow of energy through networks. Systems ecology studies the flow of energy and materials through networks of biotic and abiotic elements within an ecosystem. It seeks to understand the properties which govern the stock and flow of material and energy and how they are processed through the system. An ecosystem is characterized by flows, flows of nutrients and energy, flows of material and flows of information. It is such flows that provide the interconnections between the parts and transform the community from a random collection of species into an integrated whole. An ecosystem in which biotic and abiotic parts are interdependent and fit together. The analysis of how ecosystems function is determined by how these processes and components cycle, retain, transform and exchange energy and nutrients. Systems ecology typically involves the application of computer models that track the flow of energy and materials and predict the responses of the system to perturbations. Ecosystems and biological systems in general challenge us because they are constantly consuming energy and are therefore far from thermal equilibrium. Thus classical thermodynamics which has been so successful in deriving an understanding of physical and chemical properties such as temperature and pressure does not apply to these systems. Instead of self-assembling into lower energy states such as a crystal these energy dissipating components self-organize into highly dynamic structures through which there is a constant flux of energy and materials and this is in many ways the defining feature to life. Within chemistry this is called a dissipative system and the theory of dissipative systems goes a long way to helping us understand how biological systems self-organize and evolve over time into more complex organizations. The idea of hierarchy and integrative levels of organization is another major organizing theme within systems ecology. Integrative levels is an extension of the idea of emergence that addresses the biological organization of life that self-organizes into layers of emergent whole systems that function according to non-reducible properties. This means that higher order patterns of whole functional systems such as an ecosystem can't be predicted or understood by a simple summation of the parts. These hierarchical structures have a nested pattern and the smaller subunits are nested within larger subsystems and so on. Emergence gives ecosystems a distinctive omnipresent hierarchical structure and this scale hierarchy is a primary organizational principle from biological cell to individual to community to ecosystem to the biosphere. The study of ecosystems can cover 10 orders of magnitude from microbes to the surface layer of rocks to the surface of the whole planet. In this hierarchy there are both processes and patterns that are universal having a scale invariant fractal property as they re-occur on all levels but also unique processes emerge on the different levels. But this idea of synergies and self-organization leading to emergence and the formation of new levels in a hierarchical fashion is a central model to understanding the complex multi-dimensional characteristic of ecosystems. Another major modeling approach adopted from cybernetics and systems theory is that of feedback loops which is central to understanding the dynamics of macroscale complex systems as they evolve over time and also to understanding processes of regulation and control within ecosystems and economy. On the micro level, feedback is well understood in the process of homeostasis which means maintaining things at a steady state Negative feedback homeostasis is used in biochemical processes to regulate cells, individual organs and organisms but macro processes of change such as ecosystem succession are also regulated by feedback loops. As we go up from the organism to the community to the whole biosphere there is no homeostatic centralized control system but now instead distribute of feedback loops the work to stabilize the macro system into an oscillatory flow bound within some upper and lower limits. This process is called homeoresis a term derived from the word meaning same and flow as it refers to a stabilized flow. Feedback loops tell us a lot about the dynamics to ecosystems and biological systems in general. For example, negative feedback regulates the human body as it grows starting with what is called the R stage of growth where most of the resources are used for development and little for maintenance a period of high growth rate and positive feedback before at some stage reaching a mature state where negative feedback starts to limit the growth as the system enters what is called a K stage of development now investing in other activities with negative feedback setting in as the system becomes more stable feedback loops are an example of nonlinear models that can be used to understand complex behavior within both ecosystems, economies and the interaction between them and we'll be discussing them throughout the course. Finally we'll say a bit about the current context to this subject today there is a recognized need for sciences that cut across domains in particular between the natural and social sciences our traditional scientific approach has provided us with great insight into many specific domains but the 21st century context requires us putting this domain specific knowledge together to understand some of the most complex systems that involve the coupled interaction between society and ecosystem and increasingly on the level of the whole biosphere this requires complex systems based models that are able to integrate the large amount of data now available to us and generate meaningful insight and analysis that is relevant to the contemporary challenges of sustainability Bob Bishop the president of the International Center for Earth Simulation describes the situation as such today we have hundreds of satellites in space earth observation satellites high performance computing and on the ground all kinds of radar we have data now coming in from all directions on our planet about our planet we have so much data we can't use it all we're not using it all perhaps we're using only 20% of this data so far and the other problem is that the data is specialized so we do have a problem in ingesting so much data we have a problem in analyzing it and we have a problem in connecting it across all the subsystems that are being measured integrate horizontally all this data from the hard sciences the solid earth the oceans the poles the atmosphere on the one hand and even the social sciences that drive our social economics on the other hand and the whole biosphere in between so we have so much specialized data we have so much specialized science that it's time to integrate it horizontally and understand what the entire planet is doing the whole planet and have a holistic view of the planet not just a series of specialized opinions now I think the vertically specialized data and vision will always be there and I don't think that will ever go away but I'm saying that it's time to supplement and compliment that with a full horizontal viewpoint and the public is asking for it I think society is saying that specialization is fine but give me the whole picture help me understand how these different specializations talk to each other are interconnected, are coupled this is a science that we don't have and this is a science that we need to put in place in this module we've been giving a high level view to the domain of systems ecology describing it as the application of systems theory to the study of ecology as it studies the interaction between organisms and their abiotic environment through systems models we talked about its holistic nature as it crosses both physical and biological sciences but also economics and the social sciences to understand both ecosystem and also coupled socio-ecological systems in an integrated fashion we talked about how it's based upon the process of reasoning called synthesis that is focused primarily on the interaction between systems components and the patterns that emerge out of this instead of the properties of the parts themselves we briefly discussed some of the basic principles and theories within this area including systems theory that provides the basic abstract generic models energetics that helps to study the flow of energy and materials through networks of biotic and abiotic elements within an ecosystem and tries to understand the universal thermodynamic laws that govern these processes we talked about the idea of hierarchy and integrative levels of organization that is used to structure our understanding of ecosystems in terms of emergent levels with their own internal patterns and processes we discussed feedback loops as another set of models central to understanding regulatory processes and the dynamics of macro-scale complex systems as they evolve over time finally we tried to offer a little context to the subject as it relates to the current need for an integrated understanding of socio-ecological systems given the contemporary societal challenge of sustainability


what is that welcome to my favorite video to make ever is Halloween y'all the second annual my dogs try on Halloween costumes what is it as you know last week I made myself a beautiful toothbrush costume which has now become a resident of our living room there's a limitation as to how many new dog costumes come out in a year without me making them so I did the best that I could but I'm excited for some of these I think that they're really great and miss Weech what do you think since you're here we'll start with you my dogs don't really mind this like I wouldn't say that they like it but I don't really care right it's the one day of the year when I don't care about your feelings you're gonna look cute and you're gonna like it I'm gonna start with a costume that I wouldn't say is my favorite but I think is gonna look really pretty on you she's like excited you want to dress up wow high quality already coming apart very exciting we had to get you a medium baby girl because although you are technically a small dog girl you a medium you know what I'm saying that's not a bad thing you just thick and long oh it's also hard to shop I'm sure for those of you that have dogs or cats I don't know what you're into like sometimes your pet is like a weird shape like she's just very long this is what I'm talking about this is for a dog this is the shape of her head a bicycle seat what are we gonna do here peach is probably the only dog that we have that while we're giving out candy to trick-or-treaters she's allowed to come outside and be with us because you're nice to children and strangers she looks elegant from the back though so daddy the back you're a ladybug what do you think I would score this maybe like a seven there's something crying on the floor I would score this maybe like a seven out of ten maybe because of the fit I would have to do some alterations in order to get it to really look beautiful on her but she can't really move in it it's this can you move in your dress or not just the dress it still reads ladybug just the same not having it all right peachy let's move on to your next one because peach and karmic are legally bound they are actually married in case you didn't see that video that happened a while ago I married my dogs it was a day that we all needed it it was right after the presidential election whatever y'all are married I got them a couple of couples costumes this is one of them this is cat dog it's a cartoon from when I was younger I got one for peach and one for kermit so you guys can match set up set up it's like trying to dress a tomato oh sorry honey oh oh my god you look beautiful though honey I know it feels kind of weird but you'll get used to it come here baby there she goes wow not really great for the movability is it you know what it's not your turn yet but I have a cat dog costume just for you if you want it that's it got literally asked for this Kermit the legs won't go to his legs this is what you wanted sometimes you don't know why you're crying and this is what you're crying for are you happy you pleased with yourself wow I would give this like a pretty high score like a seven or an eight this is a good costume the costume yeah our dogs don't like the leg straps and or all of the stuff things going on so I don't think that they'll move too much in them for laughing purposes to just put your dog in something awesome yeah these are great it is time for your second to last costume but they are both the same thing because I found one pretty mermaid costume and I thought that was so pretty but then I found an even better mermaid costume so chances are you're gonna end up being an actual mermaid for Halloween which one we don't know yet Kermit honestly how did you get up here first of all and second of all what this is not only a crab like your Sebastian but it's a toy too oh peachy girl you look so beautiful honey all right peachy keep that one of mine because I think that you like that one because it's pretty functional in shape and size and stuff but I got you one that you probably won't like but I'll like better which means you're gonna be down keep it open my bitch what do you think about this little mermaid so last year we had some choices for marble that I think were a little bit too much I think you forgot where you were for the majority of that time so I got you some more like functional outfits that aren't gonna overwhelm you picked out some choices for you that are like a little understated but self-assive what do you think about that wonderful the first one that I got you marble is a little shark because I think that you would look so cute and it also matches your terrifying personality oh wow it's a great white shark that's a little less overwhelming than the other ones and you're still kind of falling over is it in your eyes can you see are you there oh there he goes wow okay he can move in it very cute with the hood back I like it a lot oh you went to scratch Kermit you know what happens when you cry don't test me boy he's standing in the costumes you know what those are they're gonna go on your body Kermit don't do it you scared him Kermit he can't find his way out oh you can't really see oh okay okay so this costume although cute and pretty functional is still pretty scary so we're gonna pass on this one huh let's try this cute one come here you little lion oh see that's a good hood for you because your head can still be out huh marble are we okay mumble blink once if you can hear me oh no you blink twice what does that mean mumble mumble can you walk around oh mumble oh yeah it works when you're sitting up but not so much when you're okay what if we put it behind your head so we have the essence of the lion with the functionality of your head so oh oh hi honey what do you hope a little top-heavy oh come on you can do it wow there he goes I think that this is pretty good very cute but the hood just you know doesn't really work on his head the last one that I got you I'm hoping will be very functional and not stress you out it's like a little vampire costume the accents of red are gonna look spectacular on your fur oh marble I think we have our winner marble see this is the point of Halloween you scare other people with your costume your costume doesn't scare you do you think he looks nice so cute my chair my chair get out my chair get out my chair go Kermit he looks the happiest in that one by far yeah this is very comfortable I think you can walk around in this one pretty good which is the whole idea you can't wear a costume that's too uncomfortable I did that one time when I went to the bathroom I peed all over it because I couldn't get it off don't repeat that story to anyone well 10 out of 10 you're a beautiful vampire except for the fact you don't have any teeth wait Marvel no it's that time we had the couch Marvel Kermit wow I don't know if that's how it's supposed to go but that's how it should go Kermit wow daddy you kind of don't mind that huh come he minds it oh he minds it I mean it's not an elaborate costume but it sure is something you look really great bud you say I want a full body costume I found you a beautiful muscly Incredibles costume my god look at those arms you look dare I say incredible wow make sure you and subscribe below how do you look he looks incredible oh my god Kermit you look so good though how do you feel incredible you feel like saving the world you want to show the back here Kerm show the back they can see what you are Kermit I feel bud have you had it with me are you annoyed at me I only make you do it once a year and you seem like you kind of wanted to do it this year I think you kind of like it don't you yeah cuz you know that you look really handsome I think this is a strong contender all right you ready to take your glasses off good job bud that wasn't so bad was it okay bud this has a very heavy head how's my zesty boys Kerm you look so good you have two tails you have two tails come stop having flashbacks her join us in the present it's so cute on you if you don't like it I'm gonna be pissed see you can move in it oh geez he's really bad at me oh now he's boosted up Kermit you're so cute wow all right this one is amazing very handsome I think you look so good he looks really cute you guys look like friends what does that mean I don't know you guys just look friends hanging out in high school do you just burp at me so like I said since you guys are married I got you a merman costume they're basically the same costume just in different colors you're so fantastic-looking wow oh my goodness it's really got that wow factor yeah he's just a stunning boy I mean I think it'd be really cute if we had two mermaids and a vampire he really slides in some sequins you know what I'm saying it's just a look good boy he's so pretty little fish I saved one absolute masterpiece for last for miss Weech because hers came with a wig oh my god picture girl come finally baby girl we got you a bra for them titties that a good fit and miss Weech comes with a tail why does she look so glamorous and wigs look at these bangs on her girl she genuinely look gorgeous see her from the back she doesn't even look like a dog she looks like a woman everybody get ready we're gonna take a family picture oh he's trying to lay on top oh kermit you're ruining the picture kermit you guys want chicken who wants a chicken why are they letting us do this you guys want to go for a ride in a car all right you put your costume on now full family portrait everybody say I'm 32 years old is it good yeah yeah oh they both just laid down peachy wake up you have a sea witch to keep up your bragging with I'm assuming you didn't finish your deal because you still don't have your voice you have legs and no boys you really blew it peach you guys look so fantastic you're the only one without a costume it's okay I'm the cameraman that's my costume wait that was really sad well there it is my favorite video to make of the entire year my dogs try on Halloween costumes I hope you guys are cool with our winners because there's no way peach is not gonna wear that wig he's kept that crown on this whole time all right let me see what you look like in the hair who's that nasty girl this is my favorite thing that I own now it's a red wig for dogs it is a really cool item to have it is the best thing I've ever spent my money dollars on who are you fighting if anyone would like to hire my daughter she's a model she's very expensive but she's available for some work if you need a rain this week you're so beautiful I'm very pleased really yeah this was a very successful year of dog costumes I agree like highlighted by this week make sure you subscribe to my channel I put on new videos every Wednesday slash Thursday peach you look so beautiful this is like the best thing ever well that's it I hope you guys are pleased because I am thoroughly pleased nothing makes me happier than a dog in a wig all right I'll see you guys next week Kermit what bye

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully people I will see you on that next one


Hi there! I'm Sandy Olnock, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I'm going to color a ballerina from Stamp Anything today with my Zig Clean color markers. These are brush markers that are water-based and I've used these a bunch of times before. You can find lots more of them on my YouTube channel and over on my blog, but I'm going to be using them to color a person, which we don't tend to color people very much because it's hard to get skin tones right. So what I did was just scribble on a piece of paper to find a couple of colors that worked for the skin tone shade that I was interested doing on this little ballerina. I first put down the darkest color and you can see here I'm coloring the lighter color in between first and trying not to touch that dark color. As soon as you touch the dark with that nib, since it is a brush, it's going to pick up that color and start blending in with everything and I want a little more control over it. So I'm waiting until I get a little closer to that so that I retain some of that lightness. I know I'm going to need to do a second layer of color in there and do a little bit of blending, but I didn't want all that darker brown to be pulled into the lighter brown and then lose all of that entirely. And you'll notice in the upper left hand corner are some numbers. Those are marker numbers for the Zig Clean color pens. I don't tend to go by the names of these pens or any of my markers because, I don't know, the names are confusing because one company will put out a color called Cobalt and it'll look like one thing, another color, another company will use the same name and it'll be a totally different color. So it's easier for me to maintain my focus on what the color is by looking at the number rather than a color name. If you're interested in having some labels for your Zig markers that are a little bit bigger than the ones that they come up come with, they print them really tiny on super tiny labels on these markers. There is a free download on my website and you can get that in my store and pick up that and print it on some sticky back paper and stick them onto your marker so you can see the numbers a little bit bigger. They do have the names on them as well but I go by the numbers that's why you have the numbers in the upper left hand corner. If you've never seen these markers before I would recommend buying like two or three of them first and Ellen Hudson sells them individually and I like that because you can purchase just a few and try them and see if you like them. There are a number of people who will email me after they try a new medium because they see me using something and they're like, oh I've got to have that. They buy the whole set and then they figure out they didn't like them. So I tend to buy a few of something first see if I like it and then go full set and I may end up with a few duplicates but to me it's worth it to save myself potentially buying a medium that I didn't really like. So I know that these zigs for some people are very easy for some people they're very difficult to use but you may want to try a few first so there are some color numbers there if you want to find some of the colors that I've used here and decide if you might like to pick up a few of them.  So don't don't think that you're getting away with not doing any flicking just because you're not using Copic markers because the flicking will still give you that look of hair. I'm starting with the darkest color and I tend to do that when I'm trying to do some blending because of the way that the zig markers work but you can see how much dry brush look that I get on this I'm using some Kansan XL paper this is a student grade watercolor paper and it tends to be one of my I guess more favorites of the papers to use with these. If you use anything that's really rough you'll get much more of a dry brush look if you use anything too smooth sometimes the color won't blend so try them out on a bunch of different papers if you're struggling with what you've got. There's a little place where I went out of the lines and I apparently did not film this part but I took a little brush with some water on it and added some water to that little spot and lifted that back off with a little piece of tissue. This stuff does lift pretty well. One of the things that I do say often about these zinc color pens is that they see water and they get all excited and they want to run and play so I don't tend to use them with water very much except for what I'm going to show you for the background so normally I like to do what I'm doing now which is blending them just with the markers and without any water. You can see how nicely they do blend so I'm going over some of that brown and black color with a grayish color which is going to give me a real soft transition between the different colors that I've got going on in her hair and as I was doing this I was trying to figure out what I was going to do in the background and I do this little weird thing where I kind of talk to the stamp. I try to see what the stamp wants to do and for this particular one I started feeling like she was on stage in a big performance. This is going to be her big night of dancing on stage in a ballerina recital so that's what we're going to do in just a little bit but I wanted her hair to be really rich and dark because I was going to have a nighttime dark scene so she was going to have a spotlight on top of her and I wanted to have lots of really good rich dark colors so I went in again with the black at the end and this time I'm going to try to leave more specific lines because it's going to give her hair a lot more texture. The part underneath was a little more for blending and now as it's a little bit drier because I was working on those little fussy areas a lot more of the lines that I'm producing in her hair are going to remain as lines rather than blending in completely. So that gives me the look that I want for her and now I'm going to color her little dress and I can do that in a couple of different colors of the Ziggling color markers and you'll see here I took a red and I'm just going to blend it with an orange and then pull the color out a little bit further and then I'll grab another lighter color and you can you can do this with almost any colors you can make almost any color blend but if you go around the color wheel I'm going red orange yellow you'll find it a little bit easier but you can blend pretty much any crazy colors together with these Zigg markers which is kind of a fun thing to experiment with. With her shoes since there's just not much there there's not much space for blending they're just going to remain a very simple orange and the focus is going to be on everything else so her shoes don't really need a whole lot more and I realized I hadn't put any color in her ponytails. I'm leaving a little white highlight because that is going to be the one shiny thing in in her and I'll add a little bit of an orange shadow down below being careful not to touch the brown in the hair because that would totally pull that color into the ponytails. So next I wanted to give her some ground to stand on so I'm going to color with one of my blue colors and give her a darker shadow right underneath of her stretch it out a little bit with a lighter color and I was debating now if I was going to do this stage in the background what was that going to look like and I wanted to give her a little more room a little more room to run here so I'm using my water brush to pull the color out and again being very careful not to touch that that brown in her legs because as soon as I touch that with water everything's going to go crazy but you see how quickly these melt into watercolor and now I'm going to zoom through the background a little bit because you'll be able to see it even though it's not real time but I'm putting the light blue color down first and I'm spreading that out toward her with the water brush so that I have a softer edge to that and the darker blue color the mid-tone blue color is going to bleed into that a little bit and then the next blue I'm just going to keep going until I get a dark color on the outside which I decided to go for black and I am going to have a little trouble getting it to work quite right as you'll be able to see and it's kind of interesting that this actually shows you when you do it quicker the differences that I was trying to make in this because not all of that watercolor right along that edge blended so I did a little work with some of the other blues to try to get that color to blend I wanted something a little bit smoother than this I kept going with my lighter ones toward the light area and kind of working that in a little bit adding a little bit more of the light blue and then going in with the water and trying to make soft edges out of it it's a little hard to control as I said when you've got a water brush that you're using and you're trying to do something very specific the floor was really easy it was much harder to get the consistent blend that I wanted to do down the side of this but eventually I did get it to work enough but what I did discover was that when I went over the black with the water brush it suddenly became a nice rich dark black and stayed that way which was interesting because I was having trouble just getting the color itself from the marker to go on and be black or at least be black enough and feel solid enough that you weren't distracted by it your eye wasn't carried away by it so when a spotlight comes down it makes it a circle around the person but from the side it looks more like an oval so I'm just trying to create an oval shape around her and adjusting the shape of it as I go to kind of make it look a little bit better and make it look right what I'm planning on it being and you know just kind of chopping off more of it with my black marker and that sort of thing to try to get it to appear the way that I want it to be I die cut out the panel so you see some of that edge got cut off and then I wanted to add some sparkle so I took my white gel pen and just added sparkle around the whole thing including over top of her it does blend in and soften against the marker kind of melts into that that wet color it wasn't super wet but it was damp and it gave it this really soft looking sparkle which was kind of cool so I hope you enjoyed this and I hope you check out stamp anything if you like to color people because they've got lots and lots of people stamps and all sorts of things over there so the links in the description down below and thank you to stamp anything for sending me these stamps to play with today because it was a whole lot of fun and you can hit the subscribe button if you have not yet to get lots more videos from me I put out about three a week and I will see you again next time I hope you get out there and create something beautiful in the meantime and I'll talk to you later bye bye


Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the Matreaction Everton 1, Newcastle United nil, what a huge, huge win for Everton tonight, a massive, massive win in a tough game against the team who've been in good form and we had to do with the hard way, we had to play against 12 men it felt like at times with the referee, Craig Pauls, who was absolutely abysmal, but more from him probably in the three points, a great win for Everton tonight. Obviously, I've got the news this afternoon, Jordan Pickford was out, which was a bit, on one hand you're kind of thinking it was our first choice goalie, it's another huge blow, but on the other hand, because of the opposition, I actually thought, you know what, it might not be a bad thing because Begavitz just has to be steady, there won't be a focus on him from the Newcastle fans as there will be with Pickford playing and I thought, ask me if Begavitz did excellent tonight. He's got a clean sheet, did what he had to do, well come and clean stuff, made a couple of decent saves, they didn't have loads to do, but made a couple of decent saves and ultimately his clean sheet has won everything in the game and it's important to take that focus off. The Newcastle fans do give it to Pickford after songs tonight with about Jordan Pickford, but it's fine, listen, it's fine, they like to take the micciar of him and that's up to them and he gives it back to us and he's so fair enough, but he was missing, Donny van der Beek was missing as well, Frank Lampard chose to keep Dominic Alderloo on the bench as well, but Ben Godfrey at left back and Godfrey was really solid. Only really one moment in the game where he let Elmeron get a run on him, he should have tackled him earlier, other than that I thought he did a good job, Michael Keane was back who I thought had an excellent game tonight for Everton. And you know the crowd were magnificent which is the big thing to say from it, the crowd were brilliant before the game, excellent throughout the game, second half especially they were unreal and ultimately it ended in an Everton win. Everton started the game really well, actually the opening 15 minutes were comfortably the better side, you know we're knocking it round in total control of the game and then Newcastle grew into it and towards the end of the first half it being quite comfortable I think for Newcastle were pushing us back without really doing anything in terms of carving us open, they had a good foothold in the game. And you know we'd had some half moments in the first half where we had shots that were blocked but I hadn't really created anything of note the quality in the final third wasn't it, I don't think it was there from either side actually although they'd got in a couple of times and had needed timely clearance from Alex Oboby on one occasion. And obviously the big sides of corners were always you know you were always worried about the corners but the second half Everton come out and started to you know battle the match and we had the Divvy you know cable tying his neck to a goal post which caused a stop for about 10 minutes, he got lamped by a fan in the process, he got bottles thrown at him from Evertonians and the Geordies through a few things at him as well. But the game got back in to flow and Everton you know were much better in the second half in terms of getting involved in the final third looking like they might break Newcastle down. They were always a threat of course they were, they were playing with the confidence that we really weren't and it was about hard work tonight from Everton and that's what we did listen it wasn't a fast flowing silky football and performance by the Blues but just right now it doesn't call for that. It calls for it rolling your sleeves up and battling much like Newcastle did to us what six weeks ago wherever, out for us and I think in the second half of times we out for them tonight and that's why we've ultimately won the game. We've had you know a couple of attempts at goal, they're fish wide, they keep it, the Bravkers made a great save from Anthony Gordon and you know we were really stretching and they had like I said before they had opportunities on the break as well. Need a team I don't think could really just get enough quality in the final third but the referee who was absolutely abysmal all night really as in the end he's probably helped Everton with the victory for being so bad.  He sent Alan off it's Alan it's a cynical foul he knew what he was doing but there was no danger to an opponent it was a yellow card the referee I think it within the game give him a yellow card I think he got that right and then obviously she was at well who we know was pathetic anyway has had a weird energy and he's gone over to the monitor and when they go over to the monitor and you slow something down it looks worse than what it is. It was a foul isn't it it was a booking was it a red I'm not so sure when you slow it looks bad but listen he sent him off and that incents the Evertonians even more but it also made the job much more difficult and at that moment I had a bit your hand off for a point because I thought Newcastle will just push on now and go for the winning and they tried to do that but Everton had just brought Dominic Hall that Louis went on. Really dug in and really you know made sure they've been nice and compact and we'd had half chances earlier on and when they pass you do think point where does that leave us but you know what we come up big when we need it to and we score the brilliant goal. One the ball often broke play there in Dominic Hall that Lou and lovely little lay off and Alex a woby stears it into the bottom corner and where I was sat in your problems the minute it left his foot and it could see it was in the breath I couldn't get across and what a moment the roof came off inside.  You know they still gonna have time to pull an equaliser out but he didn't really create anything although they did put a couple of high balls in which it's heart in your mouth moments and fortunately for ever when we on gone and we got what is a huge win it's a win a 10 men against a team that inform in a tough game in a pressure game and we've won it and things like that can. Take your season I'm not saying it will there's 11 games left everything probably need. I think four wins comfortably get them safe I think. You know three more wins and a few draws might do it but it's only one game and we've won it later on. I made off for Alex Oboby to score on that he hasn't had a great time since he come from Arsenal but that's a big goal tonight it should do him the world a good and it should do the fans the world a good it feels good tonight it really does and forgot what this feeling is like big big win and you know hopefully there's still life in us yet and we can get what we need. If Godderson's like that Rokas like that and up for it inspiring the players everything will stay up has to be like that for the remaining five home games it's got to be and if it does that then we can get positive results but what a win. My man of the matter I'm going to give it to Alex Oboby there was great performances in the thought Alan was really good tonight I thought Michael Keane who you know had one of his better games where he's up against a physical player like Chris Wood and he's able to compete with that he added everything away. I thought Seamus Coleman had a really good game to be fair another one who is a you know getting to a stage in his career Seamus where you know maybe shouldn't be playing as often as he is but he was excellent tonight. But I'm going to give it to Oboby because that is a huge goal absolutely huge goal and he's come up big for us tonight and won us the game so Alex Oboby is my man of the match that is it from me delighted absolutely delighted we've won the game. And yeah like I said there's life and everything yeah give the video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos join us on patreon see you later.
