Soo...I was trying to get my Ai college schedule to be changed to fall instead of summer...but they're being all poopy about it. Reason that I wanted to change it is because first of all, I was hoping to work as a lifeguard for the City of Henderson, and during the interview, they stated that they will be most likely be hiring people with good availability in the summer. Seeing that everyone else *jealous* gets to start in September, I knew that I would be on the bottom of the list. Anyways, last week I went back to the city of henderson and I told them that I was starting school in the fall because at that time that was my assumption. So today I get a call that they hired me and that I would start in the summer, which makes me very happy ^_^ I guess now all I have to worry about is telling the people there that Ai decided to make me start in the summer and so I hope they don't get too mad at me...

Also, I need an effing break. I've been stressed out since the beginning of 09 and it will take me months before I can hear the word "school" again. When it comes to school, I'm pretty much a study brat. I don't know why, but that's pretty much how I am. So me working extra hard in school would probably dig my own grave, or build a better success. Maybe both.

But the good thing about starting school in the summer is that I get my ipod and tablet sooner. It's been a pain in the ass trying to store my music in my psp. heh.

Oh! I also edited my Da gallery, by sending a bunch of stuff to scraps, and deleting a bunch of artwork that shouldnt exist >_> basically, I noticed I still had my art from 05-06 and it was like...bleeghhh....

Anyways, enough blabbering, and commence survey taking!

------------------------------------------------


What is the character you've drawn the most? (Can be original or fanart)
I don't have OC's and I don't think I do that much fanart. I'd have to say myself, because IMO drawing yourself is the easiest person to draw. I also use myself to try out new drawing styles. It's nothing egoistical I swear haha.

What colour do you often use?
I don't use colors a whole lot, but I'd say blue.

Any colour you are bad at using?
Warm colors...I try to avoid them.

When drawing people, where do you start?
I draw a circle for the head.

What is a character only your eraser will love?
Mecha >>

Which of your works took the longest time?
To my knowledge, [link]

What techniques do you use when you want to improve in drawing?
I look at the galleries of those who inspire me.

What do you think of the art of the person who gave you this picturememe?
This is a picture meme? o.0 anyways I found this survey from a bunch of people actually, but I first saw it from =JillValentine89 and I think her art is totally awsm and comic book worthy. I remember when us sophomores would basically worship you >>

What art tools/media are you good with?
Pencils and prismas.

Art tools/media you are bad at?
Everything else. xD Basically, I can't paint, and I'm not too hot with computer stuff either. Oh and pastels...those sons of bitches..

What do you think about your own art?
I like my art, it's probably what I take pride in the most. But I'll never be fully satisfied with the skill level I have, for I pretty much strive to be way more than "good enough." Also, I wish my stuff was more eye capturing and unique.

Do you consult magazines for your drawings?
haha not really.

What do you like about your art?
The blending. I'm sch a blender.

What habits do you have while drawing?
I sometimes make random noises (badoopadoppadoopadoop...), sometimes in more serious pieces, I will draw something totally random to lighten up the mood. For example, in [link] I drew a happy face on her butt, and on the one I'm working on now, I'm drawing armpit hairs....xD But of course I erase them before I finish my drawing

Are you good at drawing faces facing right?
You mean profile views? xD....no >>

How frequently do you draw?
A few times a week. I try to make it every day but ehh....

What do you do when you have artist's block?
I usually get my best ideas when I'm in a half asleep mode, just laying there in my bad. You guys gotta try it, its pretty awesome.

What must you have when you draw?
All my tools with me.

Do you have a lot of stray lines (messy lineart)?
Inking, no, not really. With a tablet, yes of course.

What is drawing to you?
Pretty much my purpose of existence, to be an art slave ^^

Your goal from now on.
To get commissions, to get better with portraits, to actually know how draw on the computer without making it look poopy, and uh...to make my stuff more appealing.

Artists you've had influence from?
I get my influence from a lot of places, but I say =lone-momo and =Cataclysm-X

Artists you like?
Now that's just way too many

Which is easier to draw, humans or animals?
Animals. xD >>

Please tell us the title(s) of your own comic(s)
I don't have any >_>

What is the charm-point of your art?
People love my blending and realism so I guess that's it.

What is the first thing you would draw if we're talking about fantasy?
DRAGONS

When thinking of characters is it mostly female? male? or androgynous/no sex?
Female, I somehow find them more comfortable to draw even though they aren't easier o_O

What did you draw yesterday?
I was doodling my outfit suggestion for my friend's character.

What is the funnest part to draw?
HAHAHAH BUTTS xD....no really I'm serious >_>;

What part of other people's drawings do you notice first?
Proportions.

Regarding backgrounds, what is your method of making it easier to draw?
From what I've discovered, if you take a bunch of colors and moosh them together, it can actually make a pretty damn good background lol. But I'm not one to ask, I suck at them >>

What character did you last draw?
Well I drew her outfit....and I forgot her name tbh >_>

Does your style change easily?
yeah v_v; but I'm hoping it will stay more or less constant now.

What part of drawing do you pay most attention to?
PROPORTIONS.

How do you feel about drawing H pictures?
H pictures....?

Do you like criticism from others?
Depends. Some people are a total ass and don't know what they're talking about. For example, I was asking for criticism a few days ago, and I was told that I had anime fever and that I should take a chill pill. Well, first of all, I was asking for criticism on my realism pictures. Second, that was totally irrelevant and I haven't watched anime or anything in months...my otaku years were in 2006 pretty much. On the other hand, if they are really being helpful, then I appreciate it. A friend of mine commented on my art, and this was probably the best critique I've ever heard. He said "I like your anime/cartoon drawings better than your realism. Even though you're more skilled in realism, your anime drawings have more meaning to them. I suggest you do more of them." This shocked me at first because I pretty much mediocre or sucky when it comes to cartoons. But then this opened a whole new door for me, and made me realize that I should start combining my more realism skills with the creativity in my drawings that are not so good to make something totally epic.

So yeah, sorry for the wall of text >_>

How many people do you normally draw per artwork?
One. For me, when it comes to drawing, two's a crowd <_<;;
