stormrunnerI'd upload the image but just easier to type everything and link this entry to Twitter.
When did you start drawing? I was around 4 or 5? It's really hard to know, my mom had a drawing I did when I was 3, but 4 or 5 is when I remember.
Why do you like to Draw? It's just easier to put my ideas down into art. I write too, just not as much as I draw.
What are you favorite drawing style(s)? Not sure what this means? I like all styles and think each has their place if you mean from other artist. If you mean digital vs painting vs other? Same. Every style has it's place. I do art in may formats.
Favorite artist or idol? Don't really have one. I just appreciate what is in front of me. Now I do have a list of artist I don't support because of reasons. But that wasn't the question.
Your proudest artwork? Don't really have one currently. I'm just starting to draw again after a lot of mental issues and pain. So may have to come back to this.
Which Piece took the longest? On my current stuff? Actually in general? My Mizutsune piece. Took over a month. I had a lot of stuff going on, and I shouldn't have made this my third piece after starting to draw again. My bad on that. So many things wrong toward the end.
Mizutsune
What is your first VS your latest piece? Well, good luck finding the first piece I ever did. My latest is the turn around for Storm themself! Though the one on Twitter is not correct, the one on Toyhou.se is.
Turnaround
Where is your art portfolio? Don't have one at current. Something else to come back to in the future.
Best Compliment You've Got? That my art looks like a professional from a company that does animation, games or movies.
Traditional or Digital? I do both. Currently fully digital until we get a bigger place.
Line art or Coloring? I do both, but prefer coloring over line art. Though I can do line art, it's not my favorite thing to do. I do it better traditionally then digitally, just takes me longer then I like.
Any insults you've gotten? Not really? Most insults I receive aren't about my art.
Your views on copying? Tracing can help someone learn how to do ling weights and get a feel for drawing. In their own time. Selling it is a no. Copying is fine for same reason. However, you need to learn to get references and draw on your own, otherwise you will start copying bad habits from the artist(s) you are copying from.
Ever Want to Quit? Never have, however I had to see above.
How do you handle burnout Take a break. They say to draw daily, but if you can't mentally cope, walk away. There is no harm in saying "this is enough for now".
What/Who is your inspiration Not sure what to do with this question? Wanting to animate and going to University in order to learn it?
Favorite place to draw? Wherever I can sit down and do it and be comfortable.
Recommended Art Supplies? Pencil and paper if you are starting out. I have a list too long to count on specific supplies. I mean I've been drawing almost 40 years.
Favorite subjects or landscapes? My favorite subjects are animals AND my favorite landscapes are water and sunsets.
Pencils or watercolor? Not choosing sorry. I like both for different reasons.
What do you like to draw? I mean, if I can draw it I tend to like it. Mentally, some subjects are off the table unfortunately.
Have you taken art classes? Yes, took a 4 year BFA and one extra year of University.
Favorite color palette? I use too many to have a favorite. I like ones that just flow well. Contrasting or Complimentary I like them all.
Is there a piece you can't finish? Not really? I at least have a sketch down for everything I've done. If I can at least get to that point it's in a finished state.
Can you draw ____? That depends?
Ok. This is probably not very useful but it had been a while since I did something like this.
