thank you guys so much for watching! feeling a little nervous about sharing more of the personal side of why I make what I make but you guys are always so supportive and understanding 💖 so thankful for such a positive audience!
I am currently working on a bullet journal.. I recently started a job and I'm struggling with a lot inside. I've never decorated or worked on a journal so I thought maybe it would be fun and help with stress. Since I started my new job I stopped being creative and I feel so tired all the time even though my job isn't demanding. I'm really hoping this helps. I miss being creative and drawing. ❤ Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos. I find it therapeutic to listen to other artists talk about their projects, daily life, struggles. Hope that doesn't sound weird lol.
not weird at all, I’m so happy you can find comfort in my videos! I hope things can get easier for you as you get used to your job 💖 thank you so much for watching!
I absolutely am in love with this video now. I’m such a sucker for when people talk about the deep, meaningful parts behind their art. I’m also a huge sucker for vulnerability. This is just so amazing
would you ever make a video talking more about gouache and how you use an under painting? it’s very interesting to watch as a beginner gouache painter. great video! really enjoying and being inspired by your channel ❤️
I’m loving this schedule! It’s Always a nice surprised to see how you prep for a big painting! If anything it makes me wanna actually draw things that art characters!! Very help full!! Make sure you don’t tire yourself out 🍓🍓❤️💕✨✨
I'm happy you are liking the new video schedule! It has been quite easy and sustainable with the kind of art I am creating, but thank you for looking out for me!
Honestly I love to see these behind the scenes of these artworks, it’s nice to see the similarities and differences between how paintings are done and thought of 10/10 strawberries
Recently discovered your channel and I have been having such a lovely time going through your videos! I have come to reeeally adore and admire you! There are topics that you have covered that have resonated with me so well. I love your thought process and insights. As a younger and less experienced artist, I feel grateful to have found your content, it truly feels like talking to a friend ❤
I discovered your channel a while ago and in such a short time you have become my number 1 art inspiration... Inspiration can really be found anywhere like you said in this video, but what I've realized is there's a big difference between being inspired by something and liking something. I used to think I was inspired whenever I saw something I admired but listening to you talk about your art process and personal experiences actually makes me want to create things and improve myself. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. This is what i needed to see right now..right when I was getting desperate...Please don't ever stop being you! ❤ Awesome video 🫶
I loved this video- thank you *so* much. This left me so inspired and hopeful and helped me remember what I really love about art. I’m so thankful I found your content.
Wow!!! Absolutely FLABBERGASTED with how gorgeous those prints are!! I absolutely ADORE the theme behind all of them, it’s a super interesting concept!
So excited for the new video! I love sketching along to your videos, they're so inspiring. I don't know if this is the right way to word it, but your usage of color is so satisfying :). I think it's quite true how OC's/other characters can come to life by looking at random objects, it's so cool. Keep up the great work.
Your oc's have such a beautiful story and here are mine created randomly lol (just 2 stayed with me throughout the years) but thats just how they were made- I was bored LOL Love your paintings woah Thank you for the video
I realy like this video! Showing more personal and emotional part of your art you reminded me that I do this too. I want to communicate though my art, so people could look at the pice and experience what I do, or what I intended them to. You actually always inspire me a lot, but reminder like this was wery important. It's the true intention of me making something. Makes me wanna paint something with my gouache :)
I love hearing more about your characters and inspirations! There is something to be said about art that can be deep and also art that can be shallow. 😉 It's all in the mood. Thank you for sharing!
I love hearing where you get inspiration from also the way you draw and study things is super interesting and unique, I really love your approach with everything and I'm working on a digital painting at the moment and feel like I'm struggling but it will work out 😅
working on a oc reference sheet! i have no idea what their lore is yet but im vibing with the character design :) im also trying to break out of the 'perfectionist sketchbook'
When I grew up in Florida I went to a strawberry farm that was known for its strawberry milkshakes. It was lots of fun but now I’m curious about the strawberry shortcake at the farm you went to lol I think that’s cool you got the idea from just happy memories of strawberries very nostalgic for me too
This was such an interesting video, Shay, I absolutely love your the way you see things so much. Lately I have been in a very long art block, but your videos and just your work in general really pushed me out of it, so I guess I just wanted to thank you so so much!! :)
i dont know why but you explaining this almost made me cry 😂 It reminded me of my characters and how they came to be also. my characters are a bear and a mouse and a rabbit. They all came to be from some snow creatures i made during the only 3 days of snow we had that year. Thanks for inspiring me and helping me remember that! and also i been making some hedgehog characters because i have been feeding 2 wild ones and theyre so adorable
Oh my gosh! Maybe you said this somewhere else. But, did you grow up near Plant City? I lived there when I was a little kid and my family was from Lake Wales! Not that we ever crossed paths…I am ancient compared to you. 😂
i’ve been struggling recently with art inspiration and am about to go into my third year of college for art ed so this video helped so much in giving me ideas for inspiration before the start of the semester! specifically the part where you talked about establishing a theme for the semester -such a good idea to aid in studio classes, thank u so much for sharing! 🫶 forgot to add: your art is incredible ‼️
LEMME rant rq, bro i bout a talens sketchbook off of amazon for prime day right, tell me why they gave me the little square one WHEN IT CLEARLY WAS MARKETING IT AS THE BIGGER LONGER ONE, I shoulda known when it was on sale for 6 dollars... I'm weeping. anyway the video is cute :D
Here’s a song, that your description of intimacy between cowboys reminded me of, took me awhile to remember the title but here yeah go, ua-cam.com/video/-bWuCOlesz4/v-deo.html
thank you guys so much for watching! feeling a little nervous about sharing more of the personal side of why I make what I make but you guys are always so supportive and understanding 💖 so thankful for such a positive audience!
Do you have any advice on a cheap painting someone can make at home for a love one? Grandma, mom etc. Thank you, from yours truly Cinnamon May.
i love seeing people discuss the origins of their characters. its really cool to see so much passion and personal meaning.
there's so much that goes behind with what we do!! I love hearing origins of ideas and themes in other's work as well 💖
