This is the 10 min / 1 min / 10 sec challenge created my Mark Crilley. I've seen it done so many times already and couldn't wait to finally do it myself. It was SO much fun!!
So glad I did this digitally, because I practiced a few times just to calm my nerves and I would have wasted so much paper haha.
If you enjoyed this challenge and seeing me make a fool out of myself, hit that like button and let me know what challenges you'd like me to try next.

Darlene takes on a rapid-fire art challenge, drawing a face from her imagination in three decreasing time limits: 10 minutes, 1 minute, and 10 seconds. Using a Wacom Cintiq Pro 16, she explores the tension between structured tutorials and spontaneous creativity, ultimately turning her fastest sketch into a detailed caricature.
Hey, I'm Darlene and you're watching a rapid fire art challenge.
In this video, I'm going to draw a face in 10 minutes, 1 minute and 10 seconds.
I have my Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 and I'm using my phone as a timer.
So the first timer that I'm going to set is 10 minutes.
If I can turn on my phone.
Okay, 10 minutes and let's zoom this in.
Okay, good.
Okay, let's set the timer for 10 minutes.
And let's begin.
By the way, I'm just drawing a random guy from my imagination.
So this challenge was created by Mark Crilley,
but the first time I actually saw it was on Jazza's channel
where he drew an amazing, amazing dragon.
I'll link to those videos down below if you want to check them out.
Yeah, I thought it looked like so much fun.
So I just wanted to try it out for myself.
This is the first challenge video on my channel
and I really want to do more light and fun videos like this
because I want to let my creativity flow and feel more inspired.
My channel is made up of mostly drawing tutorials and they're just so structured.
I feel like breaking free from that every now and then
to refuel and refresh my passion for art.
As a YouTube viewer myself,
I always feel so much more connected to creators that I can see
and I really want to provide a more engaging experience with you guys.
So I'm gonna give this a go.
If you need some stress in your life, just do this challenge, okay?
It's a really good way to get stressed.
And there are absolutely no stakes involved.
I don't know why my heart is beating so fast
and I'm so nervous.
There are no stakes at all.
Let me make my brush a little bit bigger for the eyebrow.
I guess it's pretty convenient to be able to control the brush size via the stylus
because if you haven't noticed, I'm trying not to use my keyboard at all
because there's no space here at all.
Yeah, so this challenge is pretty nerve-wracking for me
because first of all, I'm really bad under pressure
and second of all, it's my first time appearing in a YouTube video.
My lines are getting increasingly more scribbly as time ticks away.
At some point, I do want to erase all these construction lines
but I need to draw the hair.
Okay, 47 seconds.
Make the brush a little bit smaller.
37 seconds.
Okay, let's get the hair drawn.
26.
Sideburn.
Wrap around the ear.
15 seconds.
Goes to the other side and then to the nape of the neck.
And then let me just darken this a little bit.
9 seconds.
Okay, wrap it around.
What is that?
There's like a weed growing out of his head.
That looks so weird.
No, you know what it looks like?
It's like there's like a gnome or something that's reaching its hand out of his head.
Look at that.
Help me.
Here.
See, it looks like a hand.
That's kind of scary.
That's a little scary.
Let's get rid of that.
Okay, um, I think I did a pretty good job.
Uh, a lot better than I expected.
I was gonna say, let me see if I can do better in the one minute version.
I don't think so.
All right, one minute on the clock.
And what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna try and copy the 10 minute version.
That is still on.
This camera likes to turn off on me every now and then.
All right, I can't get over that that looks like a hand.
Okay, that's better.
I had an extra line there.
One minute.
Okay, let's do this.
Let's do this.
No construction lines.
That was weird.
Um, he looks like a flintstone.
Super intentional.
Totally.
Oh my gosh, what is this?
He's not even human.
34 seconds.
I don't know why I'm panicking so much.
I have plenty of time.
Come on, 30 seconds.
Plenty of time.
23 seconds.
I can't.
My hand will not listen to me.
I'm like, slow down.
Slow down.
It just looks so bad.
Oh my gosh.
Look at that.
Oh my goodness.
How did I do that?
They were supposed to be twin brothers.
Tell me if that looks like a twin.
Does that- do they look like twins?
Do they even look like relatives?
No.
Oh my god.
They don't even look like they belong on the same planet.
Oh, geez.
Okay, 10 seconds.
What am I gonna do in 10 seconds?
This is gonna be a total disaster.
Oh my god.
Okay, I don't have a plan for 10 seconds.
No plan.
I'm just gonna hop right into it.
Okay.
I have to be very quick.
Go.
Oh my gosh.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
That is the coolest drawing I've ever done in my life.
Honestly, I'm not joking.
That is the coolest drawing ever.
Wow.
Okay, I'm really excited.
Okay, first of all.
The lips.
Look at those lips.
Look at that.
He's getting ready for a kiss.
And then, like, magically, I got an eyebrow there.
I got the ear.
I got a pretty cool hairstyle, actually.
And then the nose is very large, but it does look like a nose.
So I'm very proud of my 10 second drawing.
It's my favorite out of all three.
For sure.
So this is my result for this challenge.
How did I do?
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Now it's time for a little fun with the last drawing.
It's not part of the original challenge.
Just thought I could make use of the silly face I drew.
Let me create a new layer.
And then, let me...
Can I make a bigger brush size?
He's a cartoon.
Notice how I can't even speak.
I'm saying uh a lot.
And probably sorry a lot, too.
Because I'm a Canadian.
Just trying to bring him to life because he deserves it more than the other two.
Hey, this is turning out really well.
Look at that beauty.
Oh my gosh, these lips.
I love it.
See, I did it better when I was drawing it on the 10 second timer
than tracing it right now.
So if that's not talent, I don't know what is.
I'm kidding.
Oh, look at his chin.
I actually got a chin in there.
See that?
It's the tiniest chin ever.
And again, I can't speak words.
I'm gonna keep it there.
Just like that.
Man, he's looking good.
Real good.
I think I should give him really large sideburns.
I don't know why I'm speaking this way.
Um, no.
Oh no, that's not even a...
Ew, that's not...
That's not a kissy face.
That's like a really grumpy face.
But it looks cool.
So I'm gonna keep it that way.
Oh my gosh.
This is actually my first successful caricature.
I'm not even finished it yet.
I have that much confidence in this.
I think he needs a pair of squinty eyes.
Okay, let's give him a neck.
And then give him a very weird poking out Adam's apple.
Very long neck.
Charming.
Um, his hair.
His hair is a masterpiece.
I can't even believe it.
Check it out.
I don't even know what that is.
What is that?
Back of his hair.
And it goes like this.
And then I don't know what this is.
But I guess it's like...
What is it?
The hairstyle back in the Grease days.
Grease.
The musical?
Movie?
I don't know.
I never watched it.
But yeah.
They have like a lot of gel in their hair.
So let's bring this down.
I was gonna give him large sideburns.
What am I doing?
Wait, yeah.
Elvis sideburns.
There you go.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Wait, hold on.
Was that too close?
Nah, that's fine.
Oh my gosh.
What did I do to deserve this beautiful work of art?
Um, how do I give him beautiful squinty eyes?
Okay, this is a sign of his struggle in life.
His crinkling of the brow.
He's gonna have very large eyebrows.
Check it out.
Check these out.
Yeah.
And then let's do the other one.
I realize this hand is just really weird.
I'm going like this.
It's like I'm a kangaroo or something.
Um, and then how do I do the one on this side?
I don't know.
Perspective.
Okay, and then give him some very interesting eyes that I cannot explain.
Man, I did not expect this challenge to end up with a caricature at the end.
It makes me so happy.
Should he have eyelashes?
Yes.
Just one eyelash.
One eyelash on the very tip of his eye.
He looks, um, from here up, he looks pretty cool.
And then from there, yeah, I don't know what happened there.
Maybe his lip is pressed up against glass or something.
Actually, okay, I don't know.
Does Gary look like that?
Gary from Spongebob?
I think so.
Doesn't he have lips that are like just weird?
I think he does.
And I like it.
So yeah, I think it's a success.
And actually, I'd like it if the hair was, um, shaded in.
So let's make the brush bigger and then we can shade a lot quicker.
So
drawing on this tablet makes me want to become like an animator, a cartoon artist.
Just, it's so fun.
Okay, boop, boop, boop.
Wait, no.
Let's do the other way.
Boop, boop, boop.
Sure.
Okay, ready for the reveal?
Oh my gosh, he's so handsome.
This is honestly the best caricature that I've ever drawn in my entire life.
And I've tried.
Believe me, I have tried.
And it's not even a caricature.
Actually, I guess it is.
It's a caricature of him, but it's unintentional.
And the fact that this came out of an accident is, it just makes me so happy.
Happy accident.
Man, this was a lot of fun.
