thank you so much to everyone who joined the live premiere! I loved chatting with you guys! let me know if you guys like this new printmaking content. part 2 coming mid december :) also go follow steve on instagram instagram.com/nauseousdog/

[@Cosmic.Noodles29]

I love how your videos are usually on the longer side because I can just draw to them 😭

[@sketchesofshay]

that’s exactly the purpose of the length!! I love drawing a long to big video essays and long art videos too :)

[@Dani.Net.]

Ahh, we were just doing this in my art class 🥰 I was a little inspired by your art while working on mine 🤭

[@sketchesofshay]

that’s awesome!! printmaking is so much fun, isn’t it?

[@bangie128]

This video combines a lot of things I love. Printmaking is a medium I've grown to appreciate as I've grown as an artist; however, not only did I get inspired to plan out a print of my own, but as an artist with an artist partner as well, your stories as a couple gives me incredible comfort. I feel like im intruding, but knowing you're sharing it makes me feel a soft tenderness, that is present in your videos always, but amplified due to your affection for one another❤

[@annezzz08]

We’re doing this in my art class with Van Gogh pieces! Love your prints

[@sketchesofshay]

AH that sounds so much fun!! Translating paintings into prints,,, sounds super interesting!

[@boristbebeetle]

These are so cute! ♥

[@KIDSMENU10000]

Your videos give me such a comforting vibe...

[@KetchupCanvas]

I guess you could say the topic of printing is a....pressing issue?? 😂😂 Sorry lol this was a great video! I have been watching eraser stamp videos and I think I might do that as my winter project. (Every season I like to pick an art medium to study and try to broaden my horizons 😊)

[@sketchesofshay]

That sounds like so much fun!! and such a great tradition too!!

[@magikbeanshop]

I'm a new subscriber & your videos have been really inspiring me & helping me gain confidence to start a channel & continue with my stationery & art shop! im carving a block now 😊

[@buuuuuuug]

I love all of your videos!! Always happy to see another come out! You insipre me so so much as a young artist.

[@autumnmckenzie8744]

I got excited ab this video since I’m taking a printmaking class in college rn lol

[@sketchesofshay]

YIPPEEE! I took my first (and only) printmaking class in college last year! It was really fun :)

[@pastelpear1831]

Maybe this isn’t unique to my experience with lino-cut printing but I remember during my A-levels using water mixable oil paints to print with. Takes awhile to dry but you can get some pretty colour gradients!

[@sketchesofshay]

Oil based inks are the way to go!! nauseousdog and I found out the hard way lol

[@boodoesart4872]

So for the transfering some of what I have done is freehanding off of a sketch with a light sharpy and then using a darker one to refine the sketch. another method I have done is trace the drawing onto thin lined paper (lined is just the thinnest I have) and go with your sharpy again slowly, you can dot it so then you just connect the dots for it. I will use sharpy on the lined paper (choose a different color usually lighter to help distinguish what you've done) and that way you can see the design inverted!!! and transfer it inverted as well! ya just flip the paper over and call it good since sharpy seeps through.

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you so much for the idea!!💖

[@speckledblender5495]

Personally I never had that patience for print making. But i just love it when other people do it they always turn out sooooo beautiful. And I very much love how yours turned out Shay. This was a very fun and satisfying video to watch. I hope you have a great holiday and I cant wait for you next video.

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to share the second part of this video! Printmaking is so much fun 💖

[@artbybrianreedy8716]

Fantastic! Love it!

[@Maddie.d326]

I know when I did a linocut in class, I traced the design onto tracing paper with a mechanical pencil. Then, turned it onto the block and I think I rubbed the side of my pencil on the paper and the lines transferred on. Then, I went in with a sharpie and traced the lines so I could actually see them lolol. Not sure if this will help, but I like seeing really bold lines on there, since I'm pretty unsure of myself. 🤣❤️

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you for the tip!

[@bacon_ART.]

HOW IS THIS SO UNDERRATED WHATTT

[@mediocreartiste]

i literally love the steven edition videos, you guys together are so vibey :D I’m starting my non-exam project for school next week and I’ve added lino-printing to my list of mediums to try :D ALSO i started bookbinding recently and when you mentioned it i did shocked pikachu face lmao. anyway this comment is getting long but this video is making me want to do a series of prints and then bind them into a zine type thing (feral artist noises)

[@sketchesofshay]

AHHH THAT SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN making books and combining it with printmaking!! I definitely want to make more bookbinding content next year, it’s such an underrated art form !

[@elycemeteryyy]

Hiii! Omg hello!

[@dinosrchestra]

I love the ambient jerma noises

[@sketchesofshay]

Heheh can’t work without it!! 😅

[@scribzscribbles]

I want to get into Lino printing but I’m really not sure with where to start love your videos

[@sketchesofshay]

I would love to make a guide someday!! You can literally just buy a small linoleum block or even a pink eraser, carve your design, ink it up with a brayer and some oil based ink, and use a big spoon to press your design!💖

[@yasserbadr4953]

I really love your account very much and I love all your videos and I love your drawing very much and I love drawing and it is also my hobby since I was a young but I left it and now I returned to drawing and painted a kind of not bad but I really try to see a lot of videos and develop it and I am very distracted

[@sketchesofshay]

@@Rustypltezc idk if the original artist sells it anymore but it's @ beanyzilla on Instagram

[@Rustypltezc]

@@sketchesofshay Thank you!

[@straberryshinigami15g97]
