Question list created by: stupied

1.) Introduce yourself! What kind of art do you make?

Growing up, cartoons and anime inspired my art. I was more drawn to the semi realistic art styles than the big eye'd cartoony styles, so that influenced me.
My medium is digital and I mostly draw people. I pick up my pen and however they come out is how they look. I used to draw and write stories about OCs growing up, but these days I am trying to get back into gushing over OCs like I used to. Find more of my art here.

2.) How long have you been making art?

My entire life. It wasn't until adulthood responsibilities (university/work) until I lost the spark that I am trying to get back.

3.) How many hours do you spend for each piece?

I don't keep track, but a few hours or less. When I use to do realism, it would take me 12+ hours or MORE. We are not going back to that.

4.) Do you prefer taking your time or do you like to quickly move on to the next thing?

Quickly. I get irritated when I start taking too long, There aren't enough free hours in the day to take my time..

I draw at work or at my desk at home. Sometimes when I want to sit on the floor, I use my lap desk and my neck and back regret it later.

9.) Do you monetize you work or is it purely a hobby?

HOBBY. I tried commissions once, but it was too stressful dealing with the unpredictable behavior of clients, otherwise no.
I already work full time, which is exhausting. I don't need a second job monetizing my work. It's funny because people have always told me to sell my art (back when I was better) and crafts...but I'm not on that grindset.

10.) Where do you share your work? On social media or a personal websites? Do you keep to yourself and close friends?
