[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you to everyone for joining the live premiere of this video!! It was so much fun chatting with you all. I will be doing more premieres in the future (at different times) so make sure you are subscribed with notifications !! I wish you all a great weekend!

[@navyiidaisys]

I literally could *not* draw or paint without having one of your videos in the background. Without it, I'll just lose motivation easily - and not even my favorite song works to keep myself going! Your art really inspires me to keep growing as an artist!

[@sketchesofshay]

I’m so happy my videos help you!! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@stitchgor3]

Me too!

[@toodles_doodles]

Your art is always so pretty and inspiring to watch! You won't believe how much I learn just by watching you.

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you so much!! I'm so happy my videos are helpful to your own journey!! I do the same thing a lot with my favorite creators so that means a lot!!

[@K_yalll]

I love the chica painting! The colors are super pretty

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you !! It’s one of my favs 💖

[@KetchupCanvas]

I love these sketches! I am very much into the Blueberry Bill and Strawberry Saul characters they are just SO CUTE! I spent the Artober month working on color combinations and not forcing things. Like I wouldn't force myself to go in a direction I thought would lead to a dead end to just say I completed something. I tried to be intentional with my work and dig into the emotions evoked by the color and pattern involved. This was nice to sketch to! I love drawing while watching your videos 😊😊

[@sketchesofshay]

that’s amazing!! I love that intentionality, thank you for drawing along!!

[@Vicious-scribbles]

I ADORE the re-animator digital painting! I also loved the traditional painting next to your FNAF self insert, it's so colorful and 'experimental' looking and I love experimental art. Overall, I love the way you digitally render your drawings and paintings. It almost looks like you finish all of them with colored pencils, which I just love.

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you so so much! that is so sweet of you ;-;

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

the dream therapy piece is so sick. i love the colors and concept so much. also super excited for the potential marigold/miguel painting, if that’s what you’re still planning!

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you so much critique!! hopefully I will post it to Instagram soon lol but yeah the miguel marigold painting is still on the dockit ! just gotta find the time and priority :)

[@mad.eli_]

Its crazy how many times a week you post! Love it every time!

[@sketchesofshay]

it’s not the usual but I had some sponsored content fall in the same week lol but I’m happy you like it !!💖💕

[@ArtisticLibra]

Your videos are always inspiring and they’ve definitely helped me when I’ve felt burned out from creating and don’t know what to do. Recently when I use Procreate I turn on the page assist feature which makes it feel like I am doing a digital sketchbook. I’ve also invested in some digital sketchbook mockups which have been useful.

[@sketchesofshay]

I’ve never thought about doing page assist, that sounds like a great idea!!💖

[@buuuuuuug]

I've already been drawing for nine years! And your art has definently inspired be to begin digital art! I'm getting a display tablet and art software during the holidays:)

[@nhffukv1643]

Wow,your art is stunning! You inspired me to draw today,thank you so much for such beautiful artwork

[@chikushouuu]

your use of colors is amazing. my favorite was definitely the sketchbook spread with your characters carving pumpkins, too cute fjdasfjkldsa

[@carro_ott]

I really love your style! Very painterly yet cartoony at the same time???? And the colors are immaculate. Love!

[@beatricejart]

You always make me so excited to draw and paint in my own sketch book💕💕

[@sketchesofshay]

Yippeee! That makes me so happy!!

[@speckledblender5495]

I love how your drawing these master pieces and I'm over here painting a Chicken in an ugly sweater on.😂 love you art and my favorite one is definitely the one of you and your boyfriend cooking I like the unfinished part of it, it kinda gives it more flavor.....no pun intended. Any who hope you have a great weekend Shay and your art it's always amazing.

[@sketchesofshay]

[@sketchesofshay]

[@PastelGhostie2]

I’m going through ect and your videos help me so much. I always put your videos on in the background when I draw and sometimes even when I’m in the hospital room. I just want you to know how much you help. ❤

[@illustratedhope]

The boyfriend tamagotchi has my heart! 😂

[@C_Kolor]

[@sheenamaecabullo717]

[@sketchesofshay]

i had it set on my tripod so it was just in the regular mode, but I really want to experiment with desk mode for streaming!! could be really convenient!

[@shinyrayasmr]

💖💖💖💖

[@ilikewhenyoushine]

I need to know the brushes you use on procreate😩😩 the colors look so good

[@sketchesofshay]

I use some custom brushes (on my show for free) and the default procreate round brush and pencil brushes

[@schnitzelmegapixel]

will we get more audrey 2 stickers?? im so obsessed

[@sketchesofshay]

I will be reprinting them for next year! make sure to follow me on Instagram for updates!

[@hntrsvg]

hi I know you probably get this question a whole bunch but like,,,, what sketchbook do you use??? it hold water and paint SO well omg.

[@sketchesofshay]

In the description!! The paper does warp, it is technically drawing paper so it really isn’t meant for water and paint so keep that in mind!

[@aboyles21]

I might've missed this in the descrip but what HUION tablet do you use? Looking to upgrade soon!

[@sketchesofshay]

Huion Kamvas Pro 16

[@bigoof99]

Digital is so hard, honestly. I used to think it was easier because of all the tools and stuff until I finally got a Wacom tablet and the learning curve is abhorrent. I am still struggling with it a month and a half later.

[@sketchesofshay]

it's difficult but you got this!! don't stop practicing!

[@leticiaoliveira6630]

How do you work with reference? Your drawings are so human (not in the anatomical sense), I don't know how to explain, it's like they're ergonomic and comfy, when I look at them my eyes just flow around the paper following some kind of movie, your drawings moves like real life

[@sketchesofshay]

First, thank you that means a lot to me! And second it comes from a couple years studying the human figure and building my understanding of structure and form ! I did a lot of live portrait painting in college, really practiced likeness. Also, character art and drawing people is one of my most favorite things to do so I just end up doing it a lot! Consistent, intentional, passionate practice. I use reference more as a structural guide rather than doing exact copies. I think this would make a great future video idea!!

[@sketchesofshay]

how I learned anatomy from watching KZbin (my favorite channels + practical tips) draw with me! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ-7m3qYfqishLc

[@saeliasogna]

Hello ! I'm from France, can I buy some of your stickers ? I love yours 2 ocs (sorry I don't know how to write their names). If I can, how and WHERE could I do it ?

[@saeliasogna]

Like, I don't reaaally understand how ko-fi work

[@sketchesofshay]

Hello!! thank you so much for wanting to buy stickers! I just had my update at the beginning of November and everything sold out, BUT I will be bringing back a lot of the designs next year!! make sure to follow me on Instagram for updates !!💖

[@saeliasogna]

@@sketchesofshay yes, don't worry, I already follow you on Instagram 👍

[@strvngedays]

Where can I get the worm beanie baby sticker that's on your sketchbook?

[@sketchesofshay]

It was by @lanylevendula !! I don’t know if she sells it anymore but it’s one of my favs!

[@Viviana_Archuleta]

I love your vids smm

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you so much for watching!! I am happy you like them!!

[@Viviana_Archuleta]

[@barrybumpernickel]

I've been trying to pick a printer to buy so i can make some stickers, do you recommend the IP8720? does it run out of ink really fast with the amount of stickers you make?

[@sketchesofshay]

It has worked really well for me! I print a LOT of stickers so I expect to have to change out the ink every other printing session, but it’s usually just one color that I have to refill, not all of them!

[@sketchesofshay]

You can always look up the page yield of a printer and determine how much ink you use through that 💖

[@barrybumpernickel]

@@sketchesofshay Thank you for replying!! This was really helpful
