Artist Baton

Your name?
Decline.

If possible, your age?
27--soon to turn 28 and unhappy about it. A little under 3 years before carousel.

When did you start drawing?
When I was able to hold a drawing implement. Probably at about 2 years old if you can call the wild scribbles I engaged in drawing. I suppose to me they were. My earliest memory of drawing was when I was just a little snot many moons ago in our second house in the basement before my dad finished it off. I had a variety of crayons and a huge piece of primitive printer paper or something that my dad brought from work. I quickly wrought some colorful designs upon it which looked like scribbles to everyone else, but to me it was a bananna boat sailing on an ocean of multicolored waves.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
The Right, which is also my political orientation.

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Used to be males but I don't know anymore. I think it's about the same, but I'm more painstaking when drawing the female gender because I don't want them to turn out ugly.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Short for dudes long for chics, although I suppose it really makes little difference.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
No difference.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
That's a good question, I don't know.

What do you have problems in drawing?
I have difficulties with perspective because I have depth perception problems in real life.

What do you like to draw?
Sci-fi, sci-fi, and um, illustration, usually sci-fi

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Traditional.

Where do you start drawing from?
The left so that I don't foul myself up.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Digging the pencil in too hard and being unable to erase all the mistakes.

What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
Whatever idea I am trying to convey.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
Graphite and waxed based media do not mix. Erase your pencil lines before trying to color your art.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
If it's just a character or costume sketch, a few hours. If it's a complete piece done with colored pencil, probably the equivalent of 20 to 30 hours, which might completed over the course of a week or 2 days depending upon how much free time I have.

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Trance, Jpop, sometimes classical or Indian.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
I have more ideas than I can possibly do anything with. Not very long really, but the more time I have to think about it the more refined it gets.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
Regular old yellow pencils with flat sides, and prismacolor colored pencils.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Green and blue.

Your favorite style(s)?
I can appreciate anything so long as it is well done.

Are you satisfied with your current art?
Usually, if not I redo it or abort the project.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
A better one, which improves constantly. I probably need to work on my speed.

Well, most of these people will probably not respond but I suppose it's worth a try. I can tell a girl made up this list because no guy would list qualities like "Cute" "Stylish" or "Tasty".

Cool： Allright, it's going to be ~TheM-Man, a good healthy combination of creativity + cynicism.

Cute： My first choice for this one has abandoned DA, so I'm going to go with ~ShadowX5479, who fits the bill in a macabre sort of way.

Stylish： I choose ~TheTowerSentry for this one, because of her custom created superheros.

Unique： ~timbo19 is pretty unique, so he gets this one.

Moe： I don't even know what this means... But ~Egek has some cool stuff.

Tasty： *kainthevampirelord comes to mind for this one.

Smart： My old friend ~mindflenzing is one of the smartest people I know, so he gets this one.

Sexy： Suppose I think no one is sexy? I suppose this one has to be a female, so let's see who I could pick from my list of watchers that might qualify... I'm going to have to go with ~tatetate, even though it looks like she is no longer active.


Admirable： ~BROKENHILL has some cool stuff, and he works with metal which is something I can't do.
