General
When did you start drawing?
Basically as soon as I could control drawing instruments, so, when I was really little
Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right
Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Female because I'm female and see that stuff every day XD
Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Both are fine, I just have problems with CURLY hair
Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
The right. I've been working on changing that but it's hard for me :[
What do you have problems in drawing?
People
What do you like to draw?
Anthros, obviously... and animals, especially cats. I also like doing random designs, and flowers
Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I prefer traditional, but recently I've been trying DESPERATELY to learn Photoshop with my new tablet... because when I moved away from my parents' house I had to leave my art supplies behind :[
Where do you start drawing from?
Uh. I just draw shit. XD I start with the head and work out a good face shape, then work on facial features. You're not gonna get a good drawing out of something if the face/head isn't good
What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Being too strict and ready to give up on a drawing; I need to learn to be more loose and sketch faster
Any tips for coloring/shading?
Start with colors that aren't super saturated, and use many, many different layers of colors, not just one or two. Layer more bold, saturated colors on as you go
How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Oh christ, it varies so much nowadays, I hardly do as much art as I used to. Sketches only take a few minutes, and that's mostly all I do nowadays anyway. When I attempt Photoshop it's a disasterious amount of time, like, almost two hours to color a small cartoony drawing with no background. :[ It makes me sad to see what has happened to my artistic process
What music do you listen to while you draw?
I listen to music that fits the mood of what I'm drawing, so it varies
How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
I only draw when I already have an idea in mind
Your favorite drawing utensils?
Ballpoint pen!
Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
My character is mostly brown (because she's a cougar), but my favorite colors are blue and green
Your favorite style(s)?
I love way too many styles to list them all. I like some more realistic styles, and some super stylized, heavily inked styles too. Just look in my Favorites
Are you satisfied with your current art?
Not at all. Moving to another state, away from an abusive family, into a lot of extra responsibility, and with some pretty tough mental problems... really sucked a lot of my artsy-ness out of me
What kind of artist are you aiming for?
I just want to be able to draw again without having to put such teeth-gritting amounts of effort into it; I want it to be natural again
