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 ❤

i adore the way you draw cats !! its pretty realistic but also shows ur style and its rlly soft and comforting almost to look at

I love how you’ve shown your art process from the conception and ideas phase all the way up to final product. I often find myself struggling to move past the sketching phase but this has been a great reminder to not be afraid of committing to seeing a piece through to completion :)) Love the work as always, I can’t wait to see what you make next

Very true. What helped me with this is that I always say myself: You can always redraw a drawing if you are not happy after all. :) Happy drawing.

I love how you shows your process and explaining yourself. I find it hard to describes my own work. But seeing you give me ideas to talk more about my art in my video

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 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.

I am loving your humbleness also your process❣️

your video has inspired me to make floral illustrations for my final this semester :)

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:(

Chill vibes and drawing time

Currently in my warrior cats era and hearing you say you were really into it as a pre-teen (even though I'm an older teen) is really validating to me for some reason. I've been obsessed with drawing cats lately haha (love all of the art in this video btw, and your use of color!)

i know this video’s a little older but i’m going back and watching some old vids. i love the way you work with gouache, i’d love a more in depth tutorial on your process with under painting and things like that. it’s also cool to see someone taking notes in their sketchbook, i do that too!

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 !
