draw with me ✿ western fashion outfits for my cowboy characters!

Sketchbook: www.dickblick....
In this draw with me video, I design western/cowboy fashion inspired outfits for two of my OC's (original characters) Strawberry and Saul and Blueberry Bill. I talk about my process and my ideas surrounding these specific designs, and share a little bit more about my daily life as an artist as I sketch out the characters. This sketchbook session inspired me to take on more complicated projects, and I even hint to a future painting idea towards the end. I love drawing and sketching, but I would love to take these designs even further and make more completed artworks. So draw a long with me and we can improve our art and ideas together!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel and shop as I begin my art career. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has downloaded my brush and bought a sticker, it means so much to me as I build my career and content.

Ur welcome and same to u❤❤

[@sadie_dalts]

I will never understand how your sketches are so neat yet loose at the same time. I don’t think anybody’s art makes me want to improve and draw more than yours!! Honestly soooo beautiful!! ✨🥹❤️ Thanks for posting your work Shay!! ✨☺️

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you so much, and thank you for watching!!🥺💖

[@m0rg.u11]

I love how saul looks like a father figure or cool uncle and bill looks like a rich prince with a butler I think it's pretty funny and a nice contrast between each other

[@sketchesofshay]

LOVE this description!!💕💖

[@cassythetree]

i love listening to artists talk about their ocs. And yes we absolutely need to see them as pirates!

[@sketchesofshay]

AYE AYE CAPTAIN🫡💖

[@maddie_is_scared]

This has inspired me to go and buy a new sketchbook and try drawing again :) thank you

[@sketchesofshay]

so happy you feel inspired! I just posted a sketchbook tips video so maybe that can help you too! happy drawing

[@alrisk3027]

COWBOY TIME YIPEE!!! their designs look super pretty :D - I also really enjoy how their past (like wealth and job) affect how they dress, it makes them feel very grounded to me :)

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you!! 🤠 I really wanted to put purpose behind their clothes!

[@alrisk3027]

@@sketchesofshay your welcome!! i think it really shows who they are without having to openly say it!

[@deadboy3149]

i love drawing cowboys and watching someone draw cowboys!!!!

[@sketchesofshay]

🤠💕💕💕💕

[@guymann2081]

Really appreciate the longer videos like this! Love seeing the full process, and hearing more details about the stories behind your characters.

[@sketchesofshay]

Thank you!! I have a lot more content like this on the way, I really enjoy making this style of video 💖

[@gingersnapcam7334]

I've got a cowboy oc that I've been trying to figure out the outfit for so it was fun doodling along. Nice sketchbook work today ❤

[@turtlesoup672]

Thank you so much for posting this! Ive been struggling with drawing and finishing my projects lately, I couldn't finish a project without scraping the idea or doing more than a few sketches in my sketchbook without giving up. Its gotten to the point where I started to doubt if I can even call myself an artist but your video was recommended to me and I decided "You know what? I like cowboys too, Ill draw with her" and I was finally able to finish a whole wild west themed page in my sketchbook. Its not much but Its enough to get the ball rolling, I really enjoyed your rambling and honestly would've been in this art block for so much longer if not for this video. Thank you again, you've made my whole week!

[@sketchesofshay]

so happy you were able to get out of your art block!! and happy to hear that you like cowboys too!! wishing you the best in your art journey!

[@nihilx1666]

I recently started swimming again (after not being able to for about 8 years due to medical reasons) and it honestly is helping a ton. It's nice to refresh my mind (quite literally sometimes haha) and it's a great exercise for theshoulders and back, which is really good to counter my "shrimp position" when drawing or painting. It's also just nice to feel better about myself and my body. That out of the way, great video and neat art!

[@salomecamara904]

I’m folding my laundry and I enjoy to listen to your voice and I like drawing

[@sketchesofshay]

glad to be on in the background to keep you company!

[@ashtonanimatics5925]

Motivation is hard for me these days, but your videos help me slowly get my art mojo back so thank you so much X

[@taurii258]

This vid was a nice podcast while I was designing winter outfits for my ocs

[@appleyvalley]

Finally, I found a fun art channel that I can watch while I am drawing. Your videos motivate me to draw, keep up the great content

[@Ehinopx]

Things have been really confusing and stressful for me lately, especially today. This was oddly really comforting, tysm

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you, and I hope things get better 💖

[@patrickubales3526]

Sketching video!😍 I'm just really obsessed with your sketches. More of this please 😍

[@gamutgirl]

I am loving your original work so much! I am here to watch your journey and creative explorations in whatever direction you want to take it~ Be well, friend!

[@sketchesofshay]

this means so much to me!! thank you!!

[@linaa2623]

love this format of long videos so much, it's interesting to watch the process and listen to everything you say. Always look forward to all your videos, they inspire me to draw more and learn new things too 🩵 I usually watch your videos first, watch how you use colors, and then sit down to draw my own art. I often have a problem with everything being perfect in a drawing and it bothers me, so the idea of ​​drawing for fun and enjoying the process is relaxing and helps a lot!! :)

[@sketchesofshay]

Glad you enjoy it!💖💖💖

[@dustiibunnii]

Hearing you describe how you were when you stopped working out and became really busy- I think it’s time to change my routine because it seems all too similar. I hope I’m able to incorporate some work out into my routine!

[@lilyi8496]

Waht i drew along to this lovely video was a skyrim elder scrolls cowboy oc. I have never in my life played or watched a playthough of skyrim, and the only lore i know about skyrim is for this specific oc that i made because my friend loves and ships these two characters, Neloth and that one twink servant, so i made them a son in honor of her. He was raised by two very powerful sorcerers and is the heir to the televanni wizard house so after learnes about their climate i decided he would be a cowboy andrefused to acknowledge any lore stating why he should be literally any other lifestyle. Anyway he rides an oblivion horse and i love him

[@barburbec]

i love your videos, you inspire me to spend more time in ;my sketchbook. I am working on writing about character that have been floating around in my head for years, again thanks for the inspiration..

[@sketchesofshay]

2:28 I’m currently eating but while eating I will study how you work with proportions and line thickness and hopefully remember it when I get back to drawing after eating my lunch 🫶

Love the outfits! ❤ I was originally going to do some gesture drawings but I ended up just adding more details and made it a full sketch XD

[@sketchesofshay]

OMG yesss 💪💪💪💖

[@idkwhatimdoing25]

I'm actually working on a project: its a book/story that I'm working on, so I draw a bunch of things that have to do with the characters so I can figure out their character more like what do they carry in their bag I draw all that, what kind of bag do they carry? Yk and I draw all that, I'm still not really good at drawing people traditionally since I mostly draw digitally so I do plan on practicing traditionally more often. Yeah :D that's what I'm working on! I am also looking forward to starting social media on my art and also making my own shop soon because I got lots of ideas and all that I really wanna share. Yep that's all thanks for reading lol

[@gh8ts]

Currently sketching a pigeon with candles for a blender project I want to start today :D

I totally relate to the exercise thing. I’m chronically ill and am only now (after 2 years) getting to where I can consistently exercise and it makes a world of difference! @Growwithjo is one of my favorite YT channels for exercise! I also love using resistance bands to build up strength in a beginner friendly way!

[@sketchesofshay]

yes!! that’s amazing!

While watching this I had a healthy energy drink ( not my regular monster! ), toast chee peanut butter crackers, and some water. I started trying digital art again and coloring a pencil doodle I transferred over! Its a silly human shark playing volley ball.

Hello Shay. I recently discovered your channel and you are so inspiring! I like any type of videos you put out, but the 1st video I watched was about your 1st shop launch. If you would share your steps for starting a shop, and continue to share your journey it would be so helpful!

[@sketchesofshay]

Hi!! I would love to talk more about how I launched my shop in more detail! I’ll add it to my video idea list!

[@imaneseddiki8532]

These guys would make a fantastic graphic novel - I’d read every adventure they had; I love your world building and ideas about these charachters. If ever you need inspiration to produce your own, take a peek at @TheAverageArtist. She has self-published several graphic novel/short stories and could be a neat resource/inspiration for doing so yourself.

[@sketchesofshay]

thank you so much for the resource!!💖💕
