☆When did you start drawing?
I’ve been drawing since I was a young child, mostly by copying pictures that I admired, but I began to take it seriously in the 8th grade.
☆How did you learn?
Mostly by books, tutorials, and through experimenting.
☆What classes have you taken?I’ve taken 1 informal year of art class when I was in middle school, three formal years of painting and drawing in high school, and in my fourth year of high school I took a formal classes of painting/drawing, and sculpture simultaneously.Currently I am attending university and studying to be an animator/illustrator. I also attend open session figure drawing whenever I can.
☆What materials do you use?
Natural Media – 70+ LB Sketchbook, mechanical pencil, 4/5H 5.0 lead, technical pens, plastic eraser, light table, Copic Ciao markers, watercolour, and colour pencils.
Digital – Intuos 3 Wacom tablet, Painter IX, Photoshop CS2, Paint Tool Sai, and Open Canvas 3.03 Plus.
☆Do you take requests/art trades/collaborations?
I’m sorry, but no. The closest I’ll get to a collaboration are the linearts I have posted on my DA.
☆Can I use your art for a graphic?
Most likely, yes, but I would prefer if you ask me before hand.
☆Any tips?
– Always try new materials, read books, and visit art museums and shows for ideas.
– Keep experimenting.
– Look up tutorials from other artists and test out their styles and techniques.
– Take figure drawing classes, draw from life.
– Practice! As cliche as this sounds, it really is the key to art.
