hi everyone anat Kesler here with a new
0:12
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:14
show you how to make a black Pages art
0:17
book binding and
0:20
all so I have here some pages that I
0:24
folded in half some of the pages are 4
0:28
by8 and some of the p pages are 3x8
0:31
they're all folded in half and now I'm
0:34
going to attach them back to back to
0:37
create my book the reason that I have
0:40
different size of pages is that later I
0:43
want to cut the
0:44
pages and have different size pages in
0:48
my book that will make it a little bit
0:51
more interesting I always recommend
0:54
using white glue or liquid
0:56
glue white glue is the best for
1:00
making books and
1:03
journals it will hold the
1:08
best so I am alternating the sizes of
1:12
the pages and I am attaching them back
1:16
to
1:17
back to create my book this is going to
1:21
be an art book so that means that we're
1:24
going to add different artistic patterns
1:27
and images to it I'm just going to be
1:30
very light about it and show you
1:33
different materials that you can write
1:37
and draw and doodle on black Pages
1:42
because they're slightly different than
1:44
what you are used to usually when the
1:47
page is
1:51
white okay so let's finish attaching all
1:55
the
1:58
pages
2:02
this is the last
2:11
one
2:15
okay okay so you have to make sure that
2:18
they're all aligned obviously and
2:21
everything is completely straight
2:23
especially on the side where all the
2:26
pages are folded so the book will be
2:29
straight
2:30
so now I'm going to cut the excess
2:33
according to the smaller
2:38
Pages this way I'll
2:42
have 4x4 pages and 3x4
2:47
pages that will make my art book more
2:56
interesting like
2:58
this oh okay so now how do I bind this
3:02
so I'm going to take a piece of oops I
3:06
forgot one page just going to cut it
3:09
later okay let's cut it now I'm going to
3:13
take a piece
3:15
of black paper just plain
3:18
paper because you need it to be flexible
3:22
don't do this with card stock I'm
3:25
talking about the
3:27
binding because card stock is too thick
3:31
and not flexible enough this book needs
3:35
to open and close open and close so it
3:37
needs a really
3:40
flexible
3:41
binding so I'm going to take a piece of
3:46
black paper it's going to be 4 by about
3:50
three or so and I'm going to apply glue
3:55
all over this
3:57
paper and attach it to the
4:01
spine now how I'm going to do
4:05
that first I'm going to attach it to one
4:09
side align it with the
4:13
edges and then attach it to the spine
4:16
itself and then fold it over to the
4:19
other side and now it is bound
4:23
completely and you have a book that you
4:26
can go ahead and add whatever you want
4:28
to
4:32
okay so now let's add some fun patterns
4:37
and doodling on the
4:39
inside first let's make our mini album
4:44
or mini book really interesting by
4:46
cutting some of the edges of the pages
4:50
in
4:52
different
4:55
shapes that will
4:58
make our page is more interesting not
5:01
just with the doodling and shapes we're
5:03
going to add but also with the shape
5:06
itself nobody said that that an art book
5:10
needs to
5:12
have identical pages with straight edges
5:18
right
5:21
right
5:26
okay so basically I'm cutting the
5:29
smaller pages but you can also do this
5:31
with the larger
5:33
Pages completely up to you how you want
5:35
to do
5:37
this and you can leave the edges
5:39
straight if you want as
5:43
well now the first material that we're
5:46
going to use is a gel
5:48
pen uh gel pen has different types of
5:52
ink in them and when you take a white
5:56
pen a white gel pen it will look really
6:00
pretty
6:01
on a black
6:04
paper and you can write with it you can
6:08
draw with it you can doodle with
6:11
it if you want to color with it it will
6:15
not work very well because the tip
6:18
is really
6:21
small and it doesn't come with larger
6:24
tips for coloring I would suggest using
6:29
a PCA pen and PCA
6:33
pens come in different sizes
6:36
tips next we have an artist pit
6:40
pen which is by fabber
6:45
Castel I'll have links to all of those
6:48
under the video if you
6:53
want this is more suitable
6:57
for painting or for
7:00
coloring it has a larger tip a straight
7:04
tip so you have two options to work with
7:08
it you can use the smaller Edge or the
7:13
larger
7:16
Edge I'm just showing you how each of
7:19
the materials look I'm not going to fill
7:21
all the pages just to give you an
7:24
idea next we're having a color pencil P
7:30
now this color pencil is unique it is
7:34
specifically for black Pages a regular
7:39
color pencil will not work on black
7:43
paper and this these pencils are called
7:47
a black edition again they're by Fab
7:50
Castel I don't get anything from showing
7:54
you this these are just uh love L
8:00
materials that I use so I thought I
8:02
would share
8:04
it and those colored pencils come in
8:08
different colors not just white the
8:12
first one was white but these are
8:14
colored they really blend nicely on the
8:17
paper just going to show
8:20
you how they blend together so you can
8:25
have ombre effects if you want and all
8:27
that on black paper so it's really
8:36
cool they have uh more pigment in them
8:40
also they have uh they added a metallic
8:44
powder to
8:46
them that is why they write so
8:48
beautifully on black
8:51
paper so so they're not like
8:54
regular colored
8:56
pencils I really love them by the way
8:59
they look really
9:01
cool so you can work
9:04
freehand on your in your art book or you
9:09
can make patterns with
9:12
stencils like I did here and now I'm
9:15
coloring my stencil pattern with the
9:18
colored
9:20
pencils I don't have aosa pen here but
9:23
aosca pen is another idea that you can
9:26
another material that you can definitely
9:28
use on black paper and also they come in
9:33
different size tips and so many colors
9:36
so you can
9:38
just add that to your arsenal of
9:43
materials for black
9:48
paper these are so
9:51
cool finally you have metallic
9:55
markers which are basically like regular
9:58
markers but again they added
10:02
um uh shine a fluorescent shine to them
10:09
and that is how they get that metallic
10:12
look and that is how they can write
10:17
on black paper again they come in
10:21
various
10:26
colors perfect for black
10:32
paper so basically these are
10:35
the materials that I like to use and you
10:40
can of course imagine that the
10:41
possibilities are
10:45
endless these are just some
10:48
ideas
10:51
for black paper
10:57
art and of course of course I'm sure
10:59
that you can come up with so many
11:08
more okay so I have a few more pages
11:11
this is a combination between a gel pen
11:15
and a metallic marker of course you can
11:17
combine all the materials that I've
11:19
shown
11:21
you
11:22
create whatever patterns drawings
11:27
doodlings that you want on your black
11:33
Pages just finishing my
11:38
final
11:42
