I am living for your channel right now! You are so articulate and intelligent while maintaining your own quirky personality. It's so refreshing to hear the unapologetic thought process of someone just exploring and trying things that they aren't even sure will work. And to hear all your ideas tumbling all over each other gives me hope that my chaotic brain is perfectly fine and that I can someday make it to your skill level despite wanting to try all the things all at once all the time! Thank you!

this comment truly made my day 💖 I am always worried that my words/actions come across as immature or incomprehensible, but it’s so good hear that my content is relatable and inspiring for artists like myself who are a little all over the place. AND YEAH I have the same problem,,, it feels like I want to paint, draw, learn a new medium, improve my skills, learn how to sculpt etc there’s just so many ways to express yourself artistically!!💕💖

@Sketches of Shay don't worry at all, you are well spoken and relaxed and fun. Who cares about sounding mature, that's boring! Just keep being you! (And you don't sound d immature anyways)

That made me smile when you mentioned warrior cats. I like to consider myself an artist and my daughter has picked up my art ways. But she is 13 and super into drawing cats and into warrior cats as well. I had never heard of them until my daughter and now I know of someone who used to do the same thing she does. I’m always wishing and hoping she continues to develop as an artist but I never push it. Just melts me she loves art as much as I do ❤

My mom has had great success with her gladiolus plants this year even though we've had pretty consistent temperatures in the low-mid 80s! So they can definitely handle the heat. The only real issue is that they're very tall and a little top heavy so they don't often make it throuh summer storms once they've bloomed:(

I appreciate you mentioning that this isn't what your sketch book normally looks like. I struggle with the idea that I have to make something amazing if I'm using nice art supplies. I have always usually just used lined paper because it takes that expectation away. I've been really working on trying to just explore and have fun vs striving for perfection that doesn't exist lol. It's been hard to get past that.

Let's gooo fellow warriors cats trash!! I'm still reading warriors and I make so much art of them and cats in general love this! It was really cool to see another artist approached a medium they haven't used in a while, I've also gone through the rusty phase of going back to gouache and acryla gouache, but it'd so fun when we can be patient with ourselves! 💗

i think a really fun idea would be to redraw your old warriors fanart so you can study the way you actually used to draw cats. whenever i feel i don’t remember how to draw something i always go back and look at past sketches or art of it because then i remember i was once able to do it so i must be able to again with some practice !
