Well I want to do memes, is the thing, so here's one I ripped from i-like-eyes on Tumblr.
Weirdly Specific Artist Questions
-
Art programs you have but don't use
Rebelle 5. There was a post going around about it at the time I was really into digital painting but I never got into it in full force. -
Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
Left u_u they all face left -
What ideas come from when you were little
I loved drawing unicorns in lightning storms. Sometimes I still do but they never turn out good enough to post. -
Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
Turkey vultures! they're maybe my favorite animal but they're so so hard, even with a reference they almost never look natural to me. -
Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
I feel like I mostly do sketches that don't get posted. But if I think something is "finished" one way or another I almost always post it eventually -
Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (e.g. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
I grew up in the Lion King era of furries, so just by osmosis I feel like I'm always drawing The Lion King haha -
A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
Ceramics! Every single ceramic thing blows my mind -
What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
In high school a friend and I had a comic about like... punk cats or something that we got 3-5 pages into :P -
What are your file name conventions
Usually either a description of what's in the drawing OR the phrase that inspired it, but with misspellings and typos allowed in case I accidentally use the same name twice I don't have to technically change it -
Favorite piece of clothing to draw
I'll put sunglasses on anything -
Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
I don't I'm so bad at remembering to put on music... not that I don't enjoy it I just don't -
Easiest part of body to draw
Eyes because they can be so many shapes! -
A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
Skip this one because I can't remember a single creator at all -
Any favorite motifs
Lightning. Arrows. Decapitation -
Where do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)
At work when I'm bored or at home when I'm crawling out of my skin, anywhere with sunlight -
Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing
Wait something I'm bad at and don't like? Uhhmmm roller skating ;; Wait for art? Uh,, colored pencils. They can look cool but they're so tedious I need to go fast -
Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what
I always have a mug of tea in my orbit. -
An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken
Q_Q I'm really hard on my paintbrushes dude. I don't paint a lot but in part because I go through them so fast. I've gotten better but I'm still traumatized. -
Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)
I drew a can of Sterno once and it wedged itself in my heart -
Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
Horses! I love drawing horses idk why people think they're hard. You know what's hard? Freakin deer -
Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
I really love the soft nostalgia wave that's happening. I have tried to emulate it to very little success -
What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any
I should! But I don't draw enough for it to be a huge deal -
Do you use different layer modes
Oh hell yeah. I love a blend layer. I love they way CSP does half tones. Can't get enough of that. -
Do your references include stock images
Sometimes! Especially for animals. -
Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
I also can't remember any examples but I feel like this HAS happened -
What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
I drew a buffalo and someone commented something that made me think they thought it was a baby picture? -
Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
Not usually but before a big piece I'll sketch out a detail I expect to struggle with or an expression I want to convey. -
Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
I did one of those 1-drawing-every-day blogs for a year! -
Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
The movie D.E.B.S. I could not expand on or do anything with because it's already perfect -
What piece of yours do you think is underrated
I haven't posted it here yet but I am about to!!
Anyway feel free to steal this, and i'm looking forward to interacting with the community more :D
