boilin' in the juh
Stolen from @Villiedoom!
This looked fun and I wanted something to do without having to use too much of my brain :P
Inspiration to become an artist + Motivation to keep drawing:
I'm not sure I had a main inspiration to start, really, I've just been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. I've always been super arty and so is my mum! She does abstract art, though, which I'm not very good at :P
What influenced your artstyle?:
Pretty much everything I've ever been into has had some sort of lasting influence. Warrior cats artists on DeviantArt, animation YouTubers, anime, certain artists on Twitter, you name it! At the moment, though, I can't think of an influence to point to for my current main art style other than the colours used in Season 2 of Fargo. I also took a lot of inspiration from Into/Across the Spiderverse mainly in the use of neons.
Artstyle idol:
Cate Wurtz, without a doubt. I adore her work and it's had a huge influence on my furry art style, particularly in my vent art.
Preferred medium:
Digital, I'm definitely not as good at traditional as much as I've tried. I've never been great at physical crafts; my hands don't like to cooperate T__T
Favorite tools/programs:
Clip Studio Paint. Though I sometimes use Krita for animation (for now, until I can afford CSP EX).
Mediums you want to try:
I've dabbled in watercolour and gouache before, but I'd like to try them out again. It's been a loooong time.
Most favorite thing to draw:
Pretty men! But more specifically I like drawing little details like body hair, teeth, skin folds, that kind of thing.
Least favorite thing to draw:
Joints, especially in the lower half of the body (in humans). I suck so bad at legs because I can never get them to bend naturally!! Especially ankles!!! Hell on Earth istg.
Preferred background noise:
Either music relating to the thing I'm drawing (OC playlists are a fav) or YouTube video essays.
Self taught or art classes?:
Entirely self taught. I took art for GCSE but I didn't learn anything substantial that helped me improve.
Construction lines or just draw it?:
Depends on the day really, sometimes I don't really need them. If I'm struggling though I'm not afraid to go crazy lol.
References or pure imagination?:
Both, but I usually only use references if one catches my eye or if I'm having trouble with an angle. I like to use my own hands as references sometimes, that can be super helpful.
OC you draw the most:
Used to be Dmitri, but now it's probably Lonnie.
Media character you draw the most:
Rye Gerhardt from Fargo season 2! I draw that man so much I have an entire side persona dedicated to art from that fandom :P
Drawing you're most proud of:
"Eye See You" from Goretober 2023. I'm really proud of the background, lighting and pose! It's also a really meaningful piece to me. I love it a lot.
Now that I'm done the tiredness has hit me so I'm gonna go pass out now. Little life update before I go, though: I got the part in one of the plays I auditioned for, and I managed to submit my big film essay on time! Really looking forward to starting work on the production in May.
