I never laughed so hard at a video thumbnail before… also on a more serious note, thank you for sharing your beautiful art & for your lovely video teachings. I enjoy watching & find that we’d totally get a long like childhood friends by way of your personality & sense of humor. 🌷❣️✨😌🤗

Underrated artist 🔥

[@perrystalsis2209]

Howdy Friend : - Not Underrated By Her Followers On Here!. Just a bit of a crime she doesn't have 150,000 subscribers instead of 15,000??. And, if **anyone** "under-rates" her acrylic pieces/commissions in particular? = They've obviously got zero taste or appreciation of a very special talent. Cheers - wherever you are.....

I can see this being useful for a Stephen Gammell style

[@LeilaAtaya]

Absolutely!!

[@perrystalsis2209]

Hey Leila : - A Real "Curve-Ball" Subject/Material This Upload??!...... And, you sound a bit like a kid with a brand new toy = Legit Excited (nice to see + hear!!). This reminds me of 2 things straight away - one of 'em from my hedonistic "rock + roll" past in the 90's.
Good luck taking it through airport customs, as - It looks just like Pakistani Hashish !..... the same soft and mushy texture, and exactly the same colour. Obviously, the smell of it would luckily put Mr./Mrs. customs officer at ease (!!). And, I make a custom-mixed lubricant for tuning air rifles - a putty, not a grease - by mixing a very fine mineral powder very similar to graphite called molybdenum, with a small amount of already black "standard" grease : - Like you wisely did = If you handle it without gloves on, it's just a total disaster..... It gets in your pores and under nails, and you look like a right tramp for about a week - however much you wash your hands!!!. Both are harmless, but - just blacker than black (Lamp Black, Mars Black etc. etc.).
It's Just Lovely To See A Very Experienced Artist Having Genuine Fun. Indeed as you said, your scope for unique and "one off" patterns and shapes is literally endless. Cool Stuff.
Thanks as always Chuck - Great to have you on The 'Tube...... Nick x

Haha yes ‘rock and roll’ that’s a really good way to describe this material 😆 I didn’t really know what to expect from this and got it because it looked interesting and was on special 😊 the messiness of it is not the best thing but it does seem to wash out quite well. Most art materials are messy so I guess I’m used to it now. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

Каждое видео-шедевр, всегда познавательно, интересно, возникает желание попробовать самому, даже если работаешь в другой технике.благодарность от зрителей ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LeilaAtaya]

You are so very welcome!!!

[@hty624]

Wow, a graphite sausage! I tried the liquid charcoal a number of years ago but it was super $$ This seems like it would go a long way

[@LeilaAtaya]

I have a feeling that if you work on super large sketches you might go through it but if you are working on A3 side drawings it will last for a long time.

[@hty624]

@@LeilaAtaya Yeah a4/a3 mostly, seems like so much scope for organic texture like you did with the rocks, almost feel like it could work in the same way a base layer would for painting then you can be more refined on top

[@LeilaAtaya]

@@hty624 it would work very well for that. You could even paint over it.

[@jasonchampney8376]

Spinosaurus !

[@LeilaAtaya]

😆 😱❤️

[@VonBeck411]

wow! Crazy cool Leila! Gotta be honest that graphite putty looks like a cat turd! Love your stuff as always,..

[@LeilaAtaya]

🤣 that’ll be one big cat 🐈
