how long have you been creating: since I could hold a crayon, there's no brakes on this train baybeeee
How did you learn: initially a lot of copying book illustrations, and then about 2009-10 onwards I copied internet people :P
how long does it usually take you to make something: if I'm on a roll I'm a very fast worker, a couple hours at most, but days if we take into account the time needed to get me to actually do anything u_u
what's the big project you haven't got around to yet: oughhhh don't even get me started
Seeing that it looks like the end is near for Sheezy, sadly, here's some other places to find me if you're interested:

BASICS:
name/nickname: caby! I just go by caby these days :>
gender: hehe
pronouns: she/they
age: 22 in december
location: wales, UK
fun fact: there are two kinds of crested guinea pigs, the american crested and the english crested, the american crested has a white crest that is distinct from the rest of its markings, and the english crested does not. is that not what you wanted?~
hobbies/interests: mostly just art, but I'm also a fulltime guinea pig carer and occasional bideogaem enthusiast. you can usually find me rambling about my pet piggos, drawing furries, or playing old pc games like spore or zoo tycoon 2.
dream job: anything where I get regular pay and don't have to talk to people too much,, I'd say art but that'd mean doing my own taxes -w-
ART:
favorite medium: I usually draw digitally these days (on clip studio), but I'm also very fond of soft pencils, colouring pencils, and ink brush
favorite subjects (what do you like to draw, take pictures of, making music about, etc.): my OCs, my partner and friens, nature, fluffy animals, and strong vibes. I love me some dramatic skies or lighting, warm colours, and hazy, nostalgic lineart,,
favorite artists/inspiration: lots and lots of artists online, anyone I follow! also classic illustrations, retro cartoons/anime, and anything I feel is suitably warm and nostalgic.
favorite period of art: classically, I'd say impressionism and the romantic era in general. in a more modern sense, 1970s animation is such a vibe
piece you're the most proud of: I try to make sure I'm happy with everything I upload, so I don't really have a favourite piece, but I'm always pleased when I manage to finish a bigger drawing with a background and such, and anything painted,,,
how long have you been creating: since my itty bitty baby hands could hold a crayon
how did you learn: a mixture of trial and error, watching lots of speedpaints religiously, and drawing from life/reference, and practice! lots and lots of practice.
how long does it usually take you to make something: how long I take to make something largely depends on how focused I am, if I'm focused I can finish a full piece in a day, but if not? takes a long while,,
