sketchbook tour: it's finally happening

HEY GUYS sorry for the awkwardness and weird audio quality but here it is!! The long awaited, much requested sketchbook tour!! I have been posting my sketchbook pages, drawings, paintings, and sharing my art advice for years on Instagram, so I am excited to finally hop on YouTube and share a new side of my art practice. I'm looking forward to sharing more of my art, studio, and lifestyle as a full-time artist, and getting better with speaking to a camera, because, boy, that was tough! I hope you enjoy seeing my creative process and ideas, and maybe get a little inspiration to use your own sketchbook. Happy Drawing! This sketchbook documents my last semester in art school, getting my BFA in Studio Art at the University of Central Florida. A lot of sketches, drawings, ink doodles, painting ideas, and illustration ideas fill this book. It definitely was a difficult time for me. I had 5 classes, all of them being studio or studio related, while I was trying to make a foundation for my art and illustration career. After graduating, I do miss the people I met and the atmosphere of an academic learning environment, but I am equally excited to see where my art can take me and how my art career develops this year with expanding onto YouTube. About Me: Hi! I'm Shay an artist and illustrator based in Central Florida. I make goofy drawings and digital paintings of my favorite characters, along with my own personal series of characters and universes. My art practice is fueled by my passion to create, entertain, and my crippling caffeine addiction.
