Art programs you have but don't use?

nope, i use all the ones i have.

Is it easier to draw someone facing left, right, or forward?

it's equally easy to draw facing left, right, or forward, but i default to facing left. i think this might have something to do with being right handed, but i don't know.

What ideas come from when you were little?

i've always liked animals. i like to draw them, regardless of being in the furry fandom, though i guess that was an inevitability.

Favorite character or subject that's a bitch to draw?

birds lol! but i get a lot of practice.

Estimate of how much of your art you post online VS. the art you keep for yourself?

i post almost everything. there is very little i keep to myself, but the stuff that i do keep to myself are usually WIPs.

Anything that might inspire you subconsciously? (e.g. This horse wasn't meant to look like The Last Unicorn but I see it.)

probably literally everything i look at that i enjoy. the manga i read probably has the strongest impact.

A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate?

architecture. i love the art of building practical spaces like houses and whatnot, and i spend a lot of time watching minecraft youtubers for this reason (though obviously i am referring to real life architecture as well). but i have zero interest in it, myself.

What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in?

pretty much all of them except the one i'm doing right now.

Favorite piece of clothing to draw?

i actually really dislike drawing clothing in general. and i prefer drawing "ferals," so it works out.

Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what?

yeah, my music.

Easiest part of body to draw?

well, the whole body is easy to draw, pretty much, but the hardest part to draw is the arms, for me. the muscles there are so specific, and it's really, REALLY easy to make them look just slightly off without being able to figure out what's wrong. it's also really hard to draw feet right.

A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing?

uhhhhhhhh the only thing i can think of is a few artists i've found who are incredibly skilled but only draw niche porn that i'm not into lol.

Any favorite motifs?

black and white color palettes.

Where do you draw? (Don't drop your IP address, this just means do you doodle at a park or something?)

at the living room table, and at the park. i loooooove drawing at the park.

Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing?

i'm pretty good with colored pencils, but it's hard to have fun with them. takes a long time and requires a lot of patience. there's a stage where it really looks like shit and you just have to trust it'll keep working the way you know it will if you spend enough time, but you have to get over that hump.... ugh. but it can be fun sometimes if i make the process easier or don't do the really intensive version of it.

Do you eat/drink when drawing? If so, what?

when i'm at the park, my lunch. when i'm at home, i just like to have coffee or iced tea.

Favorite inanimate objects to draw? (e.g. Food, nature.)

trees, flowers, and bushes.

Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy?

yeah i'm a hands guy. they're not only easy for me to draw, but really enjoyable. hands are one of those things i love to spend time looking at, so it didn't take very long for me to get used to drawing them.

Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways?

all of them! i love every art style.

What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any?

i've been trying to do wrist stretches more often. my wrist is going to hell and i really hate it.

Do you use different layer modes?

sure, sometimes. normal, multiply, uh i think it's called color burn? for the more intense shading. overlay, and shine. etc. i don't know what the layer modes are called in PS and CSP cuz i mostly use SAI 2.

Do your references include stock images?

yeah. stock images, google images, stuff i've downloaded, etc. i've got a massive fuckhuge collection of references.

Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by?

i know this has happened to me once or twice, but that's it. i don't remember because i was quite literally only once or twice.

What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended?

sometimes i post personal comics without context and because i never know if the way i think will translate, it happens that sometimes people will get a completely different reading from it than what i meant. it's really difficult for me to know when this is going to happen.

Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with?

nope. i jump right in. i've never needed to warm up.

Any art events you have participated in the past? (e.g. Zines.)

you mean like real life stuff? not really. i do art fight every year though.

Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically?

books, i suppose.

What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

i'm grateful for any attention i receive. sometimes i work hard on something and it doesn't get much attention, but that is okay.
