QUESTIONS!
When you start drawing?
I start drawing when I was 1 years old, I start to draw anime when I was 10 years old.I spend all those years drawing (meaningless lol), I got serious when I was 14 (this year).
Do you learn how to draw from any art-centres?
Nope 'A' I learn everything by myself, my RL friends around me doesn't know how to draw too, so I find it difficult to improve lul, but luckily i got friends in DA that help me :3 ~
I used to find tutorials in DeviantArt ... and find some mangas to read (Observe is everything /rageplz D8)
Watch some videos about 'How to draw' etc. Observe how people draw.
This is how I improve @ A @...~~ llalalallalalalalaa~
How many project are you doing?
-Aka-zukin Project
-Shinigami Shiroi Shoujo Project
-Ark Miteia Project < [ I'm doing this right now ]
Why do you always say that your drawings are ''okayish''!?
Alright, I don't like to say my arts are good ... I treat them like normal, because I know my arts are pretty much crappy compare to those professionals. I will work hard to improve my drawing skills, and everyone my imaginations through my drawings ~
What tools you use?
Pilot Mechanical Pencil 0.5, Stadler Erasers, Faber Castel eraser, 80GSM Paper, Colour lead mechanical pencils, rulers (for angles) and etc.
Personality?
\OAo/
I AM SILLY~ YAAAAAAAAAAAY~ [and I am really lazy 8D ]
What's your aim?
To be good in drawing, probably I can success in doing my projects, and I hope everyone will like it. If this success, I will try to be a Mangaka in Japan Q u Q!! ...
Who is your favorite artist?
-Huke (the most)
and the other artist from Pixiv, like HS204 and Tearfish.
Do you use references?
No... I rather to draw my own self. Well, sometimes I use, but not much, probably like.
1 in a 50 times, probably. I use reference when I really can't imagine the thing.
Do you care about your school? [and you seems to have hiatus all the time =A=!! ]
I do care, in school or tuition class (private classes), I will pay 101% attention to what teacher's teaching (Unless I am really tired or moody), because I know ''Knowledge is an insurance to an Artist''. If I can't find a good job with my drawing skills, I can still rely on my knowledge. I am a person who looks far...Even I hate study/school, I still need to live anyway x _______ x Life is cruel dude.
Being an Artist is hard... Do you always face problems?
To be the truth, every artist has its own problems, everyone is facing problems. I have met a lot of people in my life, and I have experience many things (@ _ @ ... maybe). Take an example, like, a person telling an artist that loves art very much, that ''Art is useless'' infront of the artist.
What will the artist feel? Sadness of couse. Education in Asia is pretty much ''fixed'' as they only concentrate on Academics than activities, such as musics, art, cooking, sports and etc, and of course,
I want to stop this tragic thing ... but I will try my best :]
Lastly, words to people that view this.
I do my best, I work very hard and I practice a lot for my drawings. They might be a ''noobie-looking drawing'' but trust me, every artwork that I do, has a meaning (except for requests @ u @ ). I want to spread the message to the whole world that ''Art is not useless''.
To those who want to be an artist, any artist, abstract art artist, mangaka, character designer, clothing designer, interior designer and so on. Being an artist is hard, it needs patience, hardwork, motivation, determination and so so so much more. So, be strong and find your way to the light, never give up.
Bare in mind that, ''Nothing is Impossible''.
