Your name? Christina or Chiz :3

If possible, your age? 22

When did you start drawing? Hmm... probably around 3rd grade when my best friend started drawing dogs. She taught me how to draw them and I never stopped doodling after that. XD

Which hand do you use for drawing? My right

Which is easier to draw - male or female? They both have their challenges! I would have to say female right now because I can't draw boobs... XD;

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair? Long hair is easier for me, and more fun. Shorter hair I generally draw more lines so it takes longer and I have to be careful with the way it falls.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left? Uhhh... I think I generally draw profiles facing to the right but I don't know if one way is easier than the other?

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view? Front view, definitely, though I always draw the eyes really crooked.

What do you have problems in drawing? I'm still working on getting my anatomy correct. Women are a challenge for me as well, so I'm practicing as much as I can. :3 Animals are another difficult hurdle of mine, but I find with references it can be a lot of fun to try drawing just about anything.

What do you like to draw? Men in suits! Ahaha... I really like drawing portraits and faces, especially noses and ears.

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist? Definitely a digital artist, though my best pictures always start out in a traditional media and get converted later.

Where do you start drawing from? I usually start with a circle, then draw on the line for where the eyes will go and go from there. If I'm trying to do a full body pose, I'll draw a smaller version of it in the corner of the page to practice before attempting the whole thing.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of? My... habit? I guess I tend to draw the same things over and over again without much variation, unless I have something preconceived in mind. I'm not really sure if that's a good answer to this question. ^^

Any tips for coloring/shading? I think there are a lot of people who want to know "how to color" but there isn't just one way! Experiment with what you like, practice your shading by looking at real life objects and examining their values.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art? If I'm completely focused, I can finish a piece in a day, but usually it takes me three or four days depending on how artistic I'm feeling. XD

What music do you listen to while you draw? A little bit of everything. :)

How long does it take you to come up with an idea? I'll let you know when I come up with one! XD Usually I don't have to fight to think of what to draw. If I don't have anything in mind, I just start doodling whatever, so.

Your favorite drawing utensils? Mechanical pencil with .5mm lead, and my Wacom tablet. :heart:

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot? Probably blues, greys, dark browns, and reds.

Your favorite style(s)? Oh man, if I can answer this question not about my art for a second... I love old, vintage art styles, especially from advertisements ranging from the 1930s to the 1950s.

What kind of artist are you aiming for? Hmm... I want to be someone with a unique style and a good way of conveying a story, but without being a cookie cutter anime artist. I draw for myself and on occasions my friends, so I'm not necessarily out to please the masses, but I wouldn't be upset if other people liked my art as well.


Thank you.

- Art de plaire, art de convaincre ou art d'exister... Il faut que l'art
ait un but sinon ce n'est pas de l'art !

- Art to like, art to persuade or art to exist... It is necessary that art has a purpose otherwise it is not art!
