In this video I begin sketching thumbnails for a future painting I will be working on as I explain my ideation and process with how I plan a painting. I use the technique of "thumbnailing" generating multiple ideas instead of one so I have more to chose as a final composition. Drawing and planning in my sketchbook always leads to more ideas and more success in my art, and I highly recommend utilizing the thumbnail method in developing future paintings and illustrations. Featured in these sketches are my two OC's (original characters) Strawberry Saul and Blueberry Bill, fantasy fruit themed cowboys who slay vampires for a living. They will be the main characters portrayed in the final painting, and I cannot wait to start it! I just need a bit more practice and sketches under my belt, so keep an eye out for more draw with me and sketchbook session style videos in the future!
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.

thank you guys so much for watching!! how are we liking two videos a week? 🤠
Very nice for motivation but I worry for you ? Don't get burnt out now, 1 a week is just fine too !
I love drawing along with your videos I have picked up sketching again because I got into the opposite habit of you of only doing finished pieces and not letting myself doodle cause it was wasting time (I blame art school ) and getting back into it has been really fun, hope you find the same joy in making completed pieces, keep up the awesome work ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ
I absolutely ADORE all your draw with me videos. I always drop everything to watch them when they come out, watching the process of other artists is something I’ve always enjoyed, keep up the great work!!
wow thank you so much for watching my videos!! I’m glad you enjoy them!!
Strawberry Sal reminds me of that strawberry dress that got pretty popular a while ago and every one was drawing their ocs in it for Halloween. Can’t believe you consider these masterpieces thumbnails! So cool
Have you made a video diving deep into Saul and Bills characters? Their backstories our who they are as people? If not I would love to watch! I really wanna make some fanart for them but I wanna make sure its true to the characters!
I definitely want to make more official introductory videos once I finalize their designs and stories!
the little horses on the bottom caught me out of guard, makes the piece even cuter
I’m stuck in a cubicle right now, but I love watching your videos while I’m at work. It helps me get excited about going home and drawing. You help inspire me to come up with ideas with my own sketchbook, and it’s encouraging to see you so excited about your OCs. I’m starting to value original characters way more than fan characters, so I’m excited to see where these two cowboys head!
I recently discovered your channel and I immediately loved your videos. I’m currently painting a sketchbook cover right now and I love watching your sketchbook sessions while I paint! I find your art and commentary interesting and inspiring, and it keeps me from giving up on my paintings and drawings :D
Love your videos, keep it up 👍
I also love their vids! Theyre so relaxing!! :DD
@@Maddroonieandcheese ikr! I got so excited when the notification of a new video came out. I just finished my painting with the help of sketchbook sessions like these in the background and I love it :DD
so happy you guys have been enjoying this style of video!! I really love making them :)
For fun I like to think of names for other characters that would make up a whole team of fruit-themed monster hunters:
Raspberry Ryan, Grape Grace, Orange Orville, Pomegranate Patrick or Patricia, Kiwi Kyle, Lemon Logan and Lime Lucy… I could go on all day.
EDIT: I wrote this before you mentioned a possible Raspberry Rick, it’s funny we thought of a similar name 😂
Definitely have a whole list of my own! But it’s cool to hear everyone else’s 💖
Hannibal is one of my favourite shows. :) :)
ive been working on my first artfight attack while watching (and rewatching hehe) ur vids today :D and i dont rlly have a fave summer drink? tho peach peace tea is pretty banger
Wish I could draw as good as you!! Obsessed w your style! Keep up the AMAZING work! ❤
I'm working on my own OC's style and appearance :)
Your style is so flattering and every character looks so well drawn! Love your work!
Keep it up Shay!
Thank you!
Favorite summer drink (I don’t know if that’s what you said I’m deaf for real) : orange juice and Thai iced boba
What I’m working on: Will Byers portraits for tumblr!!
Making a pop-up book type of card centering around a lighthouse giant from a stop motion short story made for shcool years back!
Your videos are so much fun to work to! Very inspiring too ❤
THAT SOUNDS SO COOL OMG thank you for watching!!
I love your cowboy designs so much I just bought some stickers and I'm so excited to get them! I actually have my own cowboy ocs who are witches with weather motifs they're so much fun, can't wait to see more of yours!
thanks!💖💕
I love your vidoes! It's kinda comforting to hear a soft art related muttering when drawing c:
at this moment i'm working on an illustration for Art Fight!
Its been really hard to find inspiration and ideas but this really helped me brainstorm!!! Especially since I've been trying to find a different type of style!!
I'm so glad! you got this!!💖
thx shay!!! I'm about to draw right now!!!
i got back to drawing (traditionally) 2 days ago because of your video, its actually going well i still got my skills lol and actually I've improved. i think the main reason i haven't been drawing is because of the texture of my sketchbook paper THAT MIGHT SEEM WEIRD but i don't like how certain things rub against my hand, anyway im excited to watch this one too :D
also im creating a new oc while I'm watching, I wanna actually commit to one for once
nooo I totally get the texture thing, I had the same thing happen to me a while ago!
YEEEESSSS so ready for these Halloween drawings so hype!
same!! already planning stuff now cause I’m so excited!!
love your style its so smooth and your characters are so cool can't wait to hear more about them in the future:)
thank you!!
The amount of inspiration you give is honestly amazing, I bought my current sketchbook in January,and only had like to pages done in June, as soon as I came across your channel I’ve finished 20 spreads in a week. I’ve finally been able to sit down and fully flesh out my ocs and it’s been great so thank you so much
Interesting name ideas!! 🌸
i’m gonna explode your art is so cool
Im crocheting a baby blanket, which funnily enough is 24x36 like the painting your working on
GURL U LITERALLY SLAYYY IN EVERY VEDIO😍
😂💖 thank you!!
I am drawing my vampire Oc Fala and my gargoyle Oc Charlox! I love your videos; they really help me with creating and finishing my art.
sounds so cool!! And I’m happy they help you, thank you for watching!!💖
they could do costumes from wizard of oz LOL like tin man and the lion or something
Your videos always put me in the mood to draw, during this specific video I was drawing some screen caps from " Portrait of a Blank Slate" by Lovejoy the music video, very good song! My fav summer drink is Ski soda :) I absolutely love your work, keep going!! 💫
OMG I really like LoveJoy’s music!! love their new album, thank you for watching!💖💕
hey shay!! i just wanna say first off that i love your art and your whole vibe in general; you’re a big inspiration to me in art and in video making :))💖 i was wondering what sketchbook you’re using? i tried looking in your description but couldnt find the info. the paper reminds me a lot of an illo sketchbook which is what im using now, but i was looking to branch out and try something different. is the paper hard or cold press, and what brand of sketchbook is it ? keep up the good work shay😽😽💖
It’s the 3rd link in my description 👍
@@sketchesofshayohhh thank you😭 i looked right over it😅
Wow you've really been pumping the videos out ! I love the content but don't forget to pace yourself, right ?
I was so bored and tired buy its too hot to sleep rn and seeing this video pop in my feed was a little happy moment !
Decided to pick up something to draw while watching and I guess now I'm doodling a one off character from the first page of my 2021 sketchbook. They're not great doodles cause I'm tired but yknow what who cares it's still fun !
I really need to go out and buy a new sketchbook... I ran out in May and it's been really frustrating. Especially since my laptop is currently out of service so I can't do digital either.
Hrhm. I'll go... eventually.
Saúl convinces Bill to be a nun and devil duo. Bill is the nun and Saul the devil. Or tahts what I think they’d be considering what I know so far haha
LOL that’s a great idea 😂😂
i'm drawing a 1930s vampire
have you thought of making a patreon? i've seen tons of artists that do monthly stickers and etc with it
I might be planning to start that next month!! I really want to do a monthly sticker :)
i want to eat your art.
