Hi guys! Thanks for subscribing to my channel! Here is the link to the markers that I use: www.deserres.ca/en-ca/search/deserres-twin-tip-markers---medium/DMDP/ These artists markers are from a Canadian art store (and that is what I've linked to), but I recommend Primsacolor artists markers as well, and those should be available at your local art store.

I binge watch your videos. Helps me so much in my journaling

Finally! I have been searching ages for what you offer... YOU HAVE THE ART, THE CRAFT, The Skill, YET you can also teach & instruct in ways even we VERY simpleton :-) begginers can comprehend! (Example: I'm a professional photographer, take award winning photos, but could never "teach" what I do). My handwriting is terrible, yet have so much to journal, gifts to make etc. Thanks so much for encouraging me to try...

Wonderful, simply wonderful!

Dear Shayda, I thoroughly enjoyed your videos on lettering and illustration. I am a creative who started my career as a typographer in the late 1970ies. It's refreshing to see the new generation developing new avenues of expression using the age old art of type. I'd like to throw some type lingo at you. Who knows, might even start a new trend! 2 guide lines that define the area the type will sit in is called the "cap height" or "x height for lower case". Arms or legs that fall above the x-height are called "ascenders", below the x-height "decenders. A general guide for the model of a font is based on the width of cap "H" except for the obvious of "M". Round characters, "C, G, O, Q, S fall just beyond the cap height lines (above, below and side to side) so it will visually compensate the reader's eye. The inside of a character, ex; O, is called a counter. The inside of a lowercase "e" is an eye. When 2 letters or characters are connected, it's called a ligature. ex; ff, fl, tr, etc. I hope this was helpful, if not, just an old lady rambling on. LOL Good luck, have fun and all the best to you. You inspired me. Thank you. Caryn Feel free to pick my brain if you'd like.

I love hand lettering. Thanks a lot!

I LOVE this video. My seven year old and I love watching your videos together and practicing letting. Thankyou for making these videos.

Could you PLEASE do a video about modern calligraphy fonts, and make an lowercase, and uppercase alphabet, scan it, and link it in the information bar? I really like the beauty, and playfulness of modern calligraphy, but cannot seem to get it down. Thanks

If this is a lesson PLEASE can I just watch all your videos instead of going to school???😃😃🙃❤️😂

this is really helpful! thank you so much :)

I like how you did the mushroom picture i cant draw mushrooms that good LoL

What a wonderful video. You make it look so easy. Would you please give more information about the artist pens? I already have the Sharpies but I'm not familiar with brushstroke pens. Thank you!

please tell me why U hold the pen like U do.... Love your Videos!

Hello and greetings from Greece. Can I ask you something more personal? Why do you hold the pen this way? Is it the way you learn to write as child or a way you learn for drawing? I see this style from other illustrators also and I always wanted to ask because it seems so strange and difficult to me. Thanks.

what marker is that , that you used to color the purple 5 'usual pedal flower'.. I'd love to find myself some. by the way, I loveeeee your hand writing videos!! thank you :-)

What kind of marker is the pink one you used for the flower buds?

YouMention your blog? Could you always write it out under your video? Thanks!

Beautiful :) may I know what kind of pens are those that look like highlighter when u are colouring? Thank u

when you made the egg shaped flowers what kind of marker did you use??

Shayda, Is there a trick for getting both sides of the laurel at least approximately the same? I can't seem to do this! Thanks. Great video.

Can you draw something that has the real effect like a window or a mirror glass type thing and fantasy background and my real name is Debbie could you do a fancy lettering with the name Debbie in it please? i am making an art journal with different pictures so i love all your stuff!I like 3d effect look with fancy borders

When you make & sell this type of art, do your markers bleed the sketch paper?

what kind of markers do you use?

What are hand accents??

Do you think yo could put a link to the artists coloring pens?

At the first part, i thought the video hang. XD

This is great! Love the detail. However ... I just can't. I'm sorry, it's my own pet peeve, but watching the way Shayda grips the pen makes my brain hurt. I cannot imagine how to hold a pen that way and write, especially cursive. That grip ..... ugh. Sorry. I know it's my thing to deal with.

I don’t know if Ewe realise that your video is Hazy and Out of Focus most of the time of the Video making it Hard To Watch

Love this! Thanks for the tutorial!!
