Drawing continents from memory, Europe edition
0:02
To be honest, I don't know why I'm about to embark on drawing the entire continent of Europe
0:06
which is 47 different countries. It's not like I've got a particularly good track record of drawing individual countries so far
0:12
so I'm certainly not qualified to draw an entire continent, but hey, let's give it a go
0:17
Also, big shout-out to Magic Spoon, who sponsored this video. Well, I guess we need to get on with it, so I'm beginning by drawing Iceland
0:25
It's a good choice to start with, isn't it? It's psychological. So I think Iceland's kinda..
0:31
No, I've already gone wrong. This bit's alright, but I've made this bit too big
0:36
So let's go again. Here we go. Okay, like that. And then maybe like a little bit more of a..
0:42
Yeah, sure. Maybe we make it come out a little bit more like that
0:47
That's gotta be a bot right for Iceland, hasn't it? Okay, and then from there, what do we do
0:51
Do we draw the United Kingdom next? I guess so. Oh my god, there's another 46 countries to go
0:57
This is the worst idea ever. I think i've made iceland too big
1:00
I need to shrink it down a bit to give myself space. Yeah, there we go
1:04
Okay, so we'll start the united kingdom here even though i'm from the united kingdom
1:10
I've never drawn it thus far. This is wales that i'm doing right now this area just in case you couldn't tell and then from wales
1:16
It comes out again, doesn't it like over towards like cornwall in that area once again the scale's completely off
1:22
This is not looking right so far. This is really really tricky
1:26
We'll correct the scale at the end. We'll be okay. We can make it smaller I'm gonna go in a little bit here. That's Grimsby and then we go up like this
1:36
Yep, sure. And then Scotland's kind of old jagged jagged jagged jagged lots of jaggedness like this
1:43
Yeah, I mean it's recognizable, but it's certainly not correct. Is it look how close I've ended up to Iceland
1:49
By the way, I was meant to be nowhere near okay, let's uh, descale that slightly
1:53
I think I've probably got a bit of Iceland there, which is a shame. You know, what can you do
1:57
It's probably like that that size. Okay, let's do Ireland if we can now
2:02
I did draw Ireland in the previous video So I have a reasonable idea of what that looks like. Yeah, it's like that and then we'll do the Isle of Man in the middle
2:09
And we'll also let's include the Isle of White down the bottom. Do you know what? Let's include the Isle of Anglesey as well right there. Look at us go
2:17
Wow looks great so far Jack. Well done uh Okay, we need to do Scandinavia next don't we so um
2:26
My god, I feel I'm missing a bit of the United Kingdom, so I'm just gonna quickly add that on there as well
2:31
Okay, so Norway first Norway's got a load of jaggedness jagged all over the place
2:37
Yes, there we go And I know that it is kind of rounded at the bottom and then it's very very thin to my knowledge
2:45
Like all the way up like yeah like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And then that's you know, that's something isn't it? And then Sweden is directly parallel and I think it's got even more of a droop
2:57
Maybe I'm wrong. It's got more girth to it all the way up doesn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah Finland
3:02
Unfortunately, I can't quite visualize what Finland is I think it's just kind of more of the same is there a gap in between Sweden and Finland
3:10
We're going a bit fallacy here, which I can only apologize for to be honest I know Finland's got lots of kind of stuff going on at the top and there's islands in between as well and probably islands down the bottom
3:20
Norway's got lots of islands. Yeah, there's meant to be more of a gap isn't there? That's right
3:24
Do you think we can add the gap in it's not too late is it? Yeah, there we go. That's all right
3:28
And then there tons of little islands just like amongst this There we go Great stuff Jack great stuff Okay there is an iconic area to Russia which I going to attempt to draw now It like that isn it
3:39
It's like, how did that ever become a thing? What the hell's that? And then after that, it's just kind of big
3:45
Very large. Just like, yep, that's massive. That's Russia. There we go. You know, it's come together
3:49
You know, it's not bad, is it? I'm sure we'll be disastrously wrong, but so far, this is recognizable
3:54
So then we've got Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Now, I think they're probably a bit lower down than this, but we're just gonna have to go with it
4:00
So i'm gonna draw those there like that. So this one's estonia. This one's lithuanian. This one's latvia
4:06
Probably not the right order, but here we go You know what we need a bit of flaggage, don't we let's do blue there and then we'll do the icelandic cross
4:13
Because hey, you never know. Maybe we'll also get the flags wrong as well as the countries
4:18
So check this out. Look at this. Oh, yeah, jack. Oh great stuff. Yeah, that's spot on i've nailed that united kingdom
4:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yes. Very nice. Great stuff, Jack. Great stuff. Oh, I missed a lot of my lines. I haven't done the diagonals
4:33
What am I like? Sorry, United Kingdom, if you're watching. Well, that's not right at all, is it
4:36
Something's gone wrong here. What about... Just forget about it. It's fine. All right. Now we need to make sure Northern Ireland's happy
4:42
There we go. Why have I embarked on also doing the flag? So no one requested this, Jack. Orange and green. Yay
4:50
All right, ten countries drawn, three flags drawn, buckle in guys, it's gonna be a long one today
4:56
You know what, let's hit for dinner's sponsor, and then we'll get back on with it. Hi there, I'm JackSux of Geography, and when I've got a bunch of entertaining geography content to make
5:03
I like to start my day with a bowl full of Magic Spoon cereal. Magic Spoon is not only delicious, but it's also incredibly healthy
5:09
Let me pour a bowl of fruity flavour while I tell you about all its fantastic health benefits
5:13
Every cereal is gluten-free, grain-free, full of natural flavours, zero grams of sugar
5:18
Low in carbs and high in protein. And I also just really like all the packaging
5:22
Like, look, there's a cowboy riding a lizard holding a spoon. What's he doing that for
5:27
Cocoa was my favourite flavour and I can't show you any of it though because I've already eaten it all
5:30
And Becky's favourite flavour was the peanut butter and she's also already eaten all of that
5:34
And when you go on the website to pick which cereal you want to order, there's floating bits of cereal spinning about
5:39
So if you want to order some cereal for yourself, head to magicspoon.com slash jacksucks to get $5 off your first order
5:45
Magicspoon, thank you so much for sponsoring the video Sending me so much delicious cereal very tasty very nice. Oh, hello everybody. Welcome back
5:51
You catch me drawing the Russian flag which once again I may get wrong, but I think it's red at the bottom and just blue at the top and that's it Ah
6:00
Okay, try again. Is that the Russian flag? No, it's not is it? It's blue that yeah, that looks right. That looks right
6:06
All right, no way your turn. Oh, is that right? I think so. Okay, Sweden's up next nice yellow cross great stuff
6:12
I'm sick of drawing flags. I'll come back to them. Okay. I'm gonna draw some more countries
6:16
So underneath this country, which I think is estonia, but it probably isn't I think we need to have belarus
6:22
It's quite big as well. It's like that, isn't it? No, maybe a bit smaller. We'll try a little bit smaller
6:27
I think i'm gonna run out of room. All right lads you're getting moved over again. Okay, here we go Okay, and then under belarus is it ukraine
6:35
Man, i've not got enough room and then from ukraine. Oh my god. I don't know. Okay. I'm gonna have to connect them
6:41
Sorry guys, you're getting moved over again. Woohoo! Right, Iceland also needs moving higher too
6:47
Okay, let's do France, which has got this kind of basic shape, hasn't it
6:52
Like, kind of like that? Why not? And then from France, we'll do Spain
6:57
Does it just start further down? I feel like it doesn't. Is it like this? I really, I'm not sure
7:02
Something like that yeah And then obviously Portugal goes like there I think Spain too square but you know what can we do Let do Germany next which I honestly have no idea what kind of shape Germany got
7:13
I know we've got, like, Czechia there, maybe. This is where it's starting to fall apart. We've got Switzerland here
7:18
Oh, God, I haven't even done, like, Belgium or anywhere. All right, in you get Belgium. Squeeze in
7:22
Same with Netherlands. That's probably around here somewhere. Luxembourg, you can go right there, sure
7:27
Oh, my God, I've just realised how far away Scandinavia is. So the top of Denmark is like here and the bottom of Denmark is like here
7:35
So something's gone wrong because this is not what Denmark looks like
7:39
Well, we all know what that means Oh dear, okay, this is not going great
7:44
Yes, there we go, that's better We'll put it here and then we'll be able to clean it up
7:49
Okay, Denmark, do your thing I know that you are not in the right spot here But, you know, what can we do
7:54
Let's just roll with it Let's get some little dots on the go Sure, very nice I can't believe I'm gonna have to do all of the flags
7:59
My god, so I don't know why i've got this big gap here. That's definitely not right
8:04
So we're gonna have to fix that by doing this It's just gonna get less and less accurate, isn't it the further we go
8:09
This is not the shape of poland wait hang on. This is obviously spain. This is france
8:14
But this can't be poland and germany. They can't share. Oh my god
8:19
We haven't even begun to touch the balklands yet. That's what's really sad. Okay, you go to there
8:24
Ukraine goes to here. I know that it's nowhere near big enough and then I guess we're just gonna have to fit Poland into this bit
8:31
Which is not right, but you know, what can you do? Okay, let's draw Italy because Italy's kind of it's got that iconic shape
8:37
Which is gonna make it easier for us to draw at least in theory anyway
8:42
Yeah, there you go. And then it also comes out here doesn't it on a separate island
8:46
And then I think there's like an island here and an island on top of it. One belongs to France one belongs to Italy
8:52
Oh my god, it's so not right at all, is it? There's a reason no one else has made this YouTube video
8:56
It's hard. So I think I kind of roughly can draw the shape of turkey. Maybe it needs to be a bit lower down, maybe
9:02
Yeah, like this. It's like this kind of shape, isn't it? And it's got a load of, like, bits coming off it
9:07
Little islands and stuff. And then Greece is similar, which I know is kind of next to it
9:11
Can you see that I'm just avoiding drawing the Balkans? Because I know I'm going to get it completely wrong
9:16
All right, there's my turkey. I think I've definitely simplified it a bit. So from Turkey, can we do Greece
9:21
Which is just... I really don't know the specifics, but I know that it's very island-y
9:26
Something like this kind of thing, isn't it? Not at all, Jack. Not at all. Maybe to an extent. Hey, you never know
9:31
Let's see what happens. It's weird how your brain works. You know, I could recognize all of these countries' flags
9:36
and I could point to each one on a map. But just, like, plucking it all from your head is just so difficult
9:42
Okay, everything's really distorted here. Like, Spain and Italy, I'm sure, are way closer than this
9:47
And Spain's also way lower down because like Africa's up here. But you know what
9:51
We'll just go with it. So underneath of Ukraine, is it Romania
9:55
Yeah, that's the shape of Romania. Why not? And then we've also got Hungary, which is nearby, sure
10:01
And then also Bulgaria is like down here somewhere. It's a bit smaller than Romania, sure
10:07
So then we need to have Slovakia and Slovenia, which we've not left room for
10:11
I think maybe Slovakia could be this bit here. Lichtenstein can go there
10:17
The vatican can go here san marino is here and monaco can be right there
10:23
Oh and andorra you can squeeze in right here as well. I think that's all the micro states. Oh cyprus. Is it underneath
10:30
Turkey, I think it is isn't it cyprus has like a point to it It like that kind of shape isn it And then malta as well is another small country which I think maybe small It like maybe there So what in this huge gap Oh God Should we try drawing Croatia So Croatia is kind of like the shape of a sea
10:49
And I know that Bosnia and Herzegovina is like here. And it has like very little coastline
10:54
I'm going to do a round one for Montenegro. Albania I know is quite long like that
11:01
Kosovo can fit in nicely here. I wonder if any of this is in the right spot
11:05
Moldova, I've just remembered is like here kind of that shape as well. North Macedonia is another round one
11:11
We'll do it there. Honestly, this gap should have filled by now and i'm a little bit panicked about it
11:16
I know there's a bit of an ocean, but I don't think it's as big as this
11:21
I have 41 countries apparently and I think there's 47 something's not quite right. Oh my god
11:26
Do you know what i'll tell you what's in this gap? It's turkey and cyprus, of course. That's what's in the gap squeeze them in
11:31
You know what? Greece is getting redrawn. That'll solve all of our problems
11:36
Here you go, Greece. We're just gonna kind of squeeze you in. Okay, just like this. All right
11:41
I know there is a bit of a sea here. So you never know. Maybe we're okay Should we include the pharaoh islands as well? Why not jack squeeze them in there sure why not? Okay
11:49
Do you know what you can recognize that that's europe can't you? So what i'm gonna do now is i'm gonna do all the flags and we'll just kind of time lapse it with some nice music
11:56
Because it's probably gonna take me about half an hour well as predicted that took ages but you know it looks quite pretty in the end
12:34
doesn't it I know it's you know a dreadful drawing but I like it also made
12:38
me realize just how much the color red is used in just every flag well I guess
12:42
all that's left to do now is compare this to the actual Europe and just see
12:45
how much we messed up okay so here is our Europe and now this is the actual
12:51
Europe I was about to say it looks pretty good but things do seem to be not
12:56
quite right over in ukraine basically i've got romania bordering with russia which is just not
13:02
what happens ukraine actually acts as a buffer for moldova and for ukraine they don't connect at all
13:07
and i think that's basically the source of where we went wrong we've also got north macedonia here
13:12
which i have left out completely which is really sad but have a look at our turkey and our greece
13:17
i mean that's not too bad i would say we've done quite a good job on our scandinavia our uk and
13:22
in our iceland although you can see that i've got the norway flag wrong which was stupid but our
13:27
iceland look at that look at this iceland and then look at this iceland i nailed it that's a full
13:32
point obviously places like slovenia and austria they're all just in the wrong place but from a
13:37
distance they look about right i did get spain wrong didn't i i questioned it i thought spain
13:43
doesn't connect all the way up here does it and it doesn't it literally connects at the bottom i
13:47
really screwed that one up netherlands and belgium needed moving over a bit did we get the order
13:52
correct for estonia latvia lithuania no we didn't it looks like we've learned to draw denmark more
13:57
accurately though which i'm quite pleased about so please let me know in the comments what you
14:01
think i deserve out of 10 for drawing the entirety of europe from memory i actually don't think it
14:06
was too bad thank you so much for watching also check out magic spoon delicious cereal in the
