Speaking of having a lot of old art supplies, I can totally relate. Some of my paints I’ve had since middle school/freshman year (I’m entering college now). I also have a few sketchbooks that I started back in 2020 and still haven’t finished 😅 (I don’t like the paper in them so it’s been torture to work in them but I promise I have been) It also doesn’t help when you’re the certified art kid in the family so all anyone gets you is art supplies

By the way, a really simple alternative for the palette at 25:23 is just a ceramic dinner plate 😊 If you want one that lays completely flat, then you can also just get a plain white ceramic floor tile or wall tile at your local hardware store. It'll only cost you like $2-3

Congrats on 20k, shay! You inspire me to begin my oil painting journey sooner rather than later. Love the channel!!

My friend gifted me one of those Talens sketchbooks earlier this year because I would not stop talking about it after seeing it on your channel. It's currently my favourite sketchbook I've ever had, so if anyone else is thinking about getting one, just do it!

An artist after my own heart! Use the cheap stuff for practice! The pencil you use does not matter it is the skills behind it! For Canadians: Dollarama has really great cheap sketchbooks that will run you $2.50-$4.50 depending on the size. Love the channel! I have been binge-watching this week. LOL

Have you heard the advice to microwave your Prismacolor Premier colored pencils? You stick them in the microwave for no more than a few seconds (like literally 2 or 3 seconds), and that sorta melts the broken lead back together. You probably want to set them aside for a little before using them though, so the lead sets or whatever! It's probably not great to microwave them for much longer than a couple seconds tho, so be careful! :)

For a ceramic palette I just went to a local hardware store and got a single bathroom tile. It was less than a dollar for a fairly large piece, its smooth, solid white and easy to replace if need be. They had a good selection for sizes and even shapes.

Canvas paper is also a great alternative to using canvases and the texture is quite similar! I love seeing what materials different artists like to use ❤

I also use the bic mechanical pencils a lot for drawing! I always have one on my desk or in my bag and they just work. I love it!

I loooooove holbein gouache. It's expensive, but so worth!

If there’s any Australians here ,you can get pretty cheap supplies from kmart or office works . Bunnings sells decent paints as well .most art stores are very expensive here. Also make sure you take care of your supplies especially if you do get more pricey ones ,make every dollar worth it! Have fun being creative people

my favorite art supplies are literally anything near me. i think one of my favorite things is to quit wanting a better product. any pen, crayon, pencil i can find. it makes art feel actually creative again.

Congrats on 20k!!! Just bought some of your stickers, you inspire me so much and got me back into art. Keep creating ❤❤❤.

Ceramic egg trays work really well as palettes. I bought one from Walmart for $10 a few years ago, it's pretty big, but it gives a lot of deep wells to use with my watercolours/gouache. I've since bought a smaller one too and I use them more than my ceramic palettes that are actually for paint 😂 I know Ross sometimes has some around Easter for a more affordable price

Your sketchbooks look flawless, I'm so jealous lol

I actually have that small travelers sketchbook!! its really easy to just carry around a draw in

Congrats!! You honestly deserve all the good things to happen to you! Also, THANK YOU for talking about the pressure using expensive art supplies brings! I'm glad i'm not the only one!

Yeah! A new video is out! I love your content Shay! Congrats on 20k! You deserve it!

the pentalic traveler 6x8 is litterally my alltime fave sketchbook and any time I come across them i grab a bunch cause I struggle to find them all the time TToTT honestly I always found that while they wernt perfect i could still use any supply on it, just at most had to be carful to prevent wrinkle or like not putting too much water but hoenstly always worked for me UwU

I started art because it fascinated me how much you could do with it and my whole family does a form of art so I was always inspired

Congratulations on 20k and everything else!!!!! You deserve every single ounce of love you get, you're a huge inspiration to me and I've really enjoyed every video you've put out

I recently discovered the magic of bound sketchbooks after only using spiral bound sketchbooks for years, and they’re so much nicer since a bunch of my spiral bound ones just fell apart and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to spiral bound sketchbooks after I finish the ones I need to

My favorite art supplies are the cheapest, because it makes me feel loose and free with my sketching. I use Crayola colored pencils, crayons, ballpoint pens and the more expensive stuff being Stabilo 88 fineliners and Tombow Fudenosuke and Dual Brush pens 😊😊 my ultimate favorite is the ballpoint pen though because that's what I began with ❤

Great video 😁I love the Sakura Micron pens too! The Tombow Fudenosuke pens seem really cool, I'll definitely try them soon, thanks for the tip! 🙂

You need a stay wet palette for your gouache if you wanna use it wet . They can get expensive but they have sone cheap ones on the net but I’ve seen Artist make their own ..

Congrats on your new subscriber milestones, and thanks for going through your supplies! If you have an IKEA near you, my favorite ceramic palette is actually a partitioned plate found in their dinnerware section. It’s sturdy and so inexpensive (maybe $6?) Also M. Graham’s artist’s gouache is excellent, as is Holbein’s artists’ gouache (probably a lot like what you’re using, but without the acrylic component, so it can be reactivated with water.)

Lol @ the sketchbook section. 😂 I have so many of those Talens AC ones as they are dirt cheap... I got my large one for 10€ (or even less?) and paid something like $20 for my Pentalic. 😅😅 I just had to have one, love high white thin, smooth paper and soft covers! Mega long video, very interested what else is coming!

congrats on 20K! i love looking at what people use in their art practice! something for beginners is that liquitex basics is good for learning, only this is that the white is very transparent and during my painting class we would go through so much because it's such thin paint. If you're sticking with liquitex basics maybe go to a different brand of white just so it has more weight in mixing colours and using on its own! synthetic brushes are great for mixed media, but go hogs hair for oil and sable for watercolour if you can, the natural fibers hold water better and for oil they can stand the cleaning chemicals. a lot of artists (especially if you're in art school) will try to shame you for using certain things like a store brand of paint or only using mechanical pencils, art is supposed to be fun and they've decided that is what makes them enjoy it, it's not the same for everybody! If somebody tries to tell you that drawing anime or fanart or digitally isn't real art then they haven't opened their minds beyond what they learned. Have fun and don't stress about 'wasting' supplies, they're made to get used!!! - - - (sorry for rambling but when I was a new artist i definitely struggled with finding stuff so hopefully this helps

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it but if you take a prismacolor you've dropped and microwave it for a few seconds at a time for a few times sometimes the core will sort of melt back together! It doesn't always work but sometimes it at least helps a bit!

AHHHHH IM EARLY 😭😭😭 I'VE BEEN BINGING YOUR VIDS AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION ❤❤❤❤

i just love your content, and long content is always a comfort pleasure. thanks for showing your favorite supplies, it's always interesting to see which combos other artists use and i'm already excited for your next videos :)

At our drawing school there where random sketchbooks for free, with just a few pages left!! That is my first and current real sketchbook!!

Art creation also has sketchbooks with white paper!! They have covers with patterns/paintings

I love the accessibility of all of these supplies! I also care a lot about price, it's nice to see someone showing off tools that are budget friendly. :) I love your art and characters too! Amazing content

They sell the pink sketchbook in the same color (multiple sizes) on Amazon :)

congratulations for having 20k ! ❤❤❤

cheers to 20k , and thank you for the tour 🎉❤

Yehaawwww, love your art. I also love arteza gouache because they're cheap.

For my art supplies I use gambling oil paints,prima-watercolors,random pencils and Color pencils I’ve been thinking about using these random markers I found but don’t know if I should since I’m so use to painting all the time Also love your art ❤❤❤

I use holbein arylicngouache and tuner arylic gouache wich is a bit cheaper than holbein but that also depens on where you can get it

First 30+ minute videos ive watched fully through in a while, very engaging and fun to listen to plus such amazing art :)

Congrats on 20k ! I love using prismacolor verithin pencils too! I love the color assortment also😊

Congrats on 20k!!!

Not the realistic Wally jumpscare 😭😭 I’m so glad you’re growing so much and reached 20k!! I’m literally obsessed with your channel’s vibes and adore your art so much it should be a crime-congrats :)

I only just recently found your videos and I absolutely love them! Keep going strong Shay and congrats on the 20K! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

if you want that talens art creation with white paper there are some. its those with "crazy" covers like the corck one. i dont really like it cause the paper is also more slippery and worse for paints but still good

Congrats 20k

Great video! Acryla gouache by Holbein is sooo good.

thank you so much for mentoning krita I love this programm. you can even animate with it and it is a ton of fun to use. I even know an incredible digital painter who came from PS and is now primaraly using krita. She enjoyes working with it much more then with photoshop. i never used PS so I cant compare, but I love krita a lot.

I will never give away my old art supplies! Hoarder life FTW!

I love using Coptic markers & white pens

While i totally understand wanting to preserve expensive art stuff, from a person who was in art focused highschool (it exists in my country)and still has a ton of semi professional stuff and received so much leftovers from friends...art supplys expire!!! Expecially wet mediums, they get mould super easy, smell bad and dry out inexpecably, they separete weirdly.acrilics and copics and fineliners and watercolours ecc... once opened up they degrade no matter the price so please use it before you have to trow them away!!!!

The Talens sketchbook comes in white paper too, with reproductions of Old Dutch Masters on the cover.

21:23 consider super glueing the broken lead back in gorl , then i use sand paper to shave off the glue when it gets there

nmy favorite supplies are karin brushmarkers and himigouache paint i lvoe them to DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i also love color pencils but i think they compliment the gouache way more. im also just fond of using super cheap stuff i find and making do

We hoard a bunch, trying to clean out my stash. I just always feel like if I throw something away I will need it two days later. 😭😭😭 which I should probably not be watching this video cause I will just ant everything you have. Like it’s gonna magically make me better at art 😭😭

Im late but your Walmart is better then mine with stuff, I had to buy mine through Amazon 😭

congrats on 20k!!

this was extremely helpful, thank you very much!!!

I feel like you should really really try to do an art residency. you're extremely talented. like museum gallery quality talented. I know you're curious about the art content creator route, but you should also thinking about connecting yourself with that traditional art world to really leap forward in you career.

This is random but can you make the strawberry rabbit into a strawberry fawn. ❤

haha, I use a yellow #2 pencil for all my drawing.

So upset that i cant find dark umber ANYWHERE its such a nice color. I found it on amazon but its FOUR dollar delivery and would come om april 1st😭😭😭😭

Hi my favourite sketchbook brand is sakura sketchbooks ❤

Secret Of Art Supplies

YOOOOOOO!!!!!

hi! love your videos, you have inspired me to start drawing again💗could you do a procreate video? on how you use the app?😺

Honestly, found you a couple of days ago on Instagram and I just love your art😭 congrats on 20k

yay a new dope artist to follow! question: how many sketchbooks do you work in at a time?

Do you think getting the screen tablet or IPad would be best if you want to get back into drawing on a new experience like those? I’ve been struggling creating art without an assignment with school and want to venture into my art career starting college. Maybe commissions or twitch streaming? What’s your reccomendation

Hey, do you sell prints? The paintings looked rad and I went digging around your site but only saw the stickers.

Littlest pet shop stickers!! do you collect at all?

Hey hey, sorry to ask but the link put under the Prismacolor colored pencil links to a marker pack instead if you would have the time to give me the right link (no bother if not)

Also how do you get over the anxiety of ruining a sketchbook? I never start them cause I’m so afraid of messing up 😭

Please tell where u get ur stickers from i don’t really go to art markets and stuff so I would really like to know.Thnx

OMG did you spoke french ?? 19:06 (i'm from France oui oui baguette) I've just bought an iPad and it's been amazing. My best purchase so far.

Where do u print your stickers???

Lot of links are broken.

Congrats also ihave entered

Dang. I don't have an instagram. Oh bummer. Bollocks, even.

Yeah you really don't need the best supplies. Jackson Pollock used house paint

"the pentallic sketchbooks suck, they aren't durable, they can't withstand more than one medium.. the paper is just poor quality and the elastic is as strong as a goldfish.. but its great!” 💀🫀🫀🫀
