"Welcome everybody, I'm Lars Eric Robinson with Lars Arts. All Around Art-tainment is my slogan. Today I thought I talk about how do we draw a satin linen and how we do a satin ribbon. In a way, I did a ribbon here, it's kind of made out of a linen here is what I'm trying to create. You want to have a silky feel to a kind of a shiny feel. So what I already pre-drew here is I used my charcoal and I used it to get my sketch on there first because charcoal erases really well. Kneaded erasers are really great for that because you could bend it and shape it and form it any way you want, and you can use it as an eraser, and it erases out what you don't want. So, we're trying to create something that's really soft and silky look to it. Because that's what this is called, silky ribbon. So this ribbon's tied and usually you see ribbons are red. So if you don't like the way this, you really want to emphasize more, you could take the end of this and let it stop right there will the highlight will be. And once again you start it where the highlight is. There you go. Little demonstration how to do a silky linen in a ribbon style. Alright thank you guys so much for joining me. Have a good day."
