10 Questions: FAQ
How long have you been drawing?
Uhhh... practically my entire life.
Who inspired you to do art?
That's a really tough question. I've been drawing fanart of my favorite characters ever since I was little. Characters like Yoshi, Bowser, Dratini, Diglett, Dragonair... I think I tried to draw Spyro a few times, but I never had anything other than Nintendo consoles, so I didn't really get the full extent of the hype. Animated Disney films were also huge inspirations: Maleficent's dragon form in Sleeping Beauty really struck me amazed as a kid, along with Ariel in The Little Mermaid, and practically all the lions in The Lion King. So shout-out to all of the amazing artists that poured their time and effort into these 2D animated films! A few of my current artist inspirations are: o_8 (Skullgirls artist), Sifyro (kemono furry artist), nendo_23 (pony artist), ArtHaruhi (pony artist)
What is your favorite color?
Contrary to what people might think with my fursona's coloring, my favorite color is actually green!
Do you own a pet?
Several, haha. I'm a crazy cat person!
How many fandoms are you in?
Entirely too many for my own good, haha. I may not actively participate in all of them, but I definitely have interest!
So where did you find out about Sheezy?
I actually had an account on the old SheezyArt way back in the day when people were jumping ship from deviantART due to... rule/policy changes, I guess? So when I saw an art buddy post about making a Sheezy on my Twitter feed recently, I had the sudden rush of intense nostalgia and have been keen on getting in ever since!
How did you get your username?
I got tired of the number in my first internet username after a few years, so I decided to just do the classic '[Name] The [Species]' furry username, lol. It's not the most original username I've ever thought of, but I like it enough to keep using it.
What is your favorite type of chocolate?
Semi-sweet or dark! Yum!
Is there any advice for new artists you have?
While I think learning the basics like gesture, anatomy, perspective, color theory, and more is pretty important, never forget to just have fun with it! You are always learning on your art journey!
And finally, the final question. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl for sure, haha. Hoot!

Answer each question with a number. Only do this meme if you think you'll enjoy it!
Remember, it doesn't matter how much you draw or how these numbers compare to others.
What year did you start traditional art?
Been drawing traditional since before I can remember, so I must have been very little. That'd put the year in the 1990s sometime, lol.
What year did you start digital art?
Well, I distinctly remember drawing in the old MSPaint with a computer mouse on Windows 98 at the very least, lol.
How many brushes do you have downloaded? (Include default brushes for ease.)
Looks like 169. Most of them are default brushes in Clip Studio Paint.
How many brushes do you use?
Like... 3 of them on a regular basis, lol.
Usual canvas size?
2000 x 2000 px.
How many files are in your art folder?
4,016. Not including art files from previous PCs.
How many files are in your references folder?
15, derp.
How many self-inserts/fursonas/personas have you had?
Approximately 3. One TLK self-insert. One ponysona. One fursona.
How many pictures of your current self-insert/fursona/persona?
233 at least. I have so many all over the place. I'm not sure if I can find them all, lol.
How many OCs do you have?
13 so far!
How many pictures of your oldest OC?
233 at the very least! My oldest OC is my fursona!
How many pictures of your favorite character?
I have so many favorite characters, haha. I guess I'll just go with my fursona again with at least 233, lol.
How many graphics tablets have you owned? (If none, how many phones/iPads/tablets?)
2! My first was a Wacom Intuos³ (8 x 6 in.) for many years, but I found the drawing area too small for my liking. I'm using a Huion Inspiroy Q11Kv2 now!
How many notebooks/sketchpads do you own?
At least 6, lol. 3 of them are those hardcover bound ones that are always a pain to scan from, so I'm usually drawing on loose leaves of printer paper instead.
How many pencil/paintbrush sets do you own?
1, I guess? I don't do painting, so I don't have any paintbrush sets, but I have a 120 pack of Prismacolor colored pencils, haha. I also have a whole bunch of colored inking pens that I need to draw with more.
Free space! Any other fun numbers?
16! When I first joined the internet way back when Nintendo's NSider Forums were a thing, my username was DragonArtist16!
