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.
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...
+Kathleen Williams What a lovely compliment! Thanks for taking the time to share these kind words. I really appreciate them. Good luck with your lettering!
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.
Thanks so much Shayda for your videos. I love your elegant style both in your illustrations and in you yourself! You are a pleasure to watch and listen to.
I’m in love with your channel! This is perfect for a total beginner who has no natural abilities! I’ve always loved pens and colors, so, oddly enough, I already have most of the pens I see you work with! TFS your talent!
Your videos are exactly what I've been looking for! I've always wanted to get into hand lettering but I was always discouraged by my lack of artistic skill, but these videos are so helpful and really show that its simpler than I thought! Thank you :)
I really really love your videos! Thank you so much ! You've really helped me put my markers and color pencils to good use, as well as my creativity 💕 Your videos are the best on learning how to do lettering .
I subscribed the minute i watched this vid. I knew everything you will post is helpful. Ive been searching for this topic everywhere even in pinterest. More power shayda!! Love from the Philippines!!
ohmygosh i love your channeeell!!! I've been searching for this kind of channel where i get to enhance my writing/ drawing skills and I'm really glad you have so many wonderful vids. Im in love with this channel! Thanks
I love your videos with one suggestion. I wish you could be more up close when you are writing or drawing for my old eyes to better see what you are doing.
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
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!
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 :-)
+Janet Pohl Hi! I usually don't worry too much about making the laurel super symmetrical. I would say don't worry about it, it looks natural for the laurel to be whimsical and uneven. I made my wedding invites by hand and each one had a slightly different (and probably very uneven) laurel! lol
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
+Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ .-·-FreeSpirit.·´Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Hi Debbie! I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean? Can you be more specific about the mirror/ glass type? Maybe I can do a tutorial! Thanks for the question
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.

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.
It probably how she learned I was writting like that but not because I learned it that way it was because I had fake nails
please tell me why U hold the pen like U do.... Love your Videos!
this is really helpful! thank you so much :)
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?
Beautiful :) may I know what kind of pens are those that look like highlighter when u are colouring? Thank u
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.
+Janet Pohl Hi! I usually don't worry too much about making the laurel super symmetrical. I would say don't worry about it, it looks natural for the laurel to be whimsical and uneven. I made my wedding invites by hand and each one had a slightly different (and probably very uneven) laurel! lol
+Janet Pohl Also, any time you want to practice symmetry it helps to sketch on graph paper.
when you made the egg shaped flowers what kind of marker did you use??
When you make & sell this type of art, do your markers bleed the sketch paper?
If this is a lesson PLEASE can I just watch all your videos instead of going to school???😃😃🙃❤️😂
what kind of markers do you use?
YouMention your blog? Could you always write it out under your video? Thanks!
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

Ya sorry just if you can make my name fancy or something cool around it i need ideas for my art journal book whatever you can think of! thanks
Do you think yo could put a link to the artists coloring pens?
+averi.r Yes! Check out the new short video all about pens and markers. The links are in the description. :)
What are hand accents??
At the first part, i thought the video hang. XD
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
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.
