And This Was Stolen From To Be Used As An Update While I Get Some Of Mah Stuff Together

◆Your name?
Ashly/Ash/Hashbrown, either way I respond

◆If possible, your age?
15.

◆When did you start drawing?
IN THE WOMB, but it didn't become serious until about 6/7th grade

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Left

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Females, though the anatomy on both is hard for me to get just right

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long's easier, because short hair requires thinking

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Towards the right, 3/4ths view.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front, still haven't gotten a hang of the side face.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Anatomy, particularly in the hands and feet; backgrounds, poses other than standing, animals (again anatomy issues), shading in realistic portraits, clothing folds (this is getting a lot better though), textures like water, glass.. Whoah.. Oh my! That's quite a lot o_o

◆What do you like to draw?
Original characters, (naked) women with purposely incorrect anatomy, surreal art, stick people on occasion, and other people's characters
◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Traditional

◆Where do you start drawing from?
Circle for the head, lines and shapes for the body and a vague idea for a pose

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Heavy pressure on the pencil

◆What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
Don't shade? Draw lightly?

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
little circles produce a smoother texture then the scribble/straight line technique. Go easy on the pencil

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Its varied from about 15-30 for a rough sketch to about 2/3 hours for a polished (as much as it's going to be) piece of b/w art. Coloring adds about 2 hours to that.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
Anything, from Tchaikovsky to death metal, depends on the mood and idea shaping in my head

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
From an instant's notice (randomly start drawing) to many weeks

Western comics, the style of FMA, realistic

Comic pencil artist, that or a surrealist
