Who are you?
My name is Evie, and I am a 30 year old self-taught artist. I'm a freelancer, and I currently reside on planet Earth (for now).
What software or art supplies do you use to make your art?
I am primarily a digital artist. For my digital art, I currently use my iPad Pro 10.7 and the 1st generation Apple Pencil. The software I use is Procreate, which I bought for a once-off purchase of about $10 at the time. I use many of the default brushes on there, but I often adjust them to how I like them, sometimes I download free brushes from Gumroad, and once in a blue moon, I will purchase ones from creators I follow.
When I'm not using my iPad, I use a Huion Kamvas GT-191 who I nicknamed "Hugh". The software I use on that is Paint Tool SAI, which I have the paid, non-cracked version of. I edit my photographs and drawings using getpaint.net (or Paintdotnet) to slightly adjust the brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. If needs be, I sometimes sharpen the image too, and resize it.
The camera I use is just an old second-hand Canon EOS 1100D that I got off of eBay. If I don't have my camera on me when I'm out and about, I use my Nokia X30 5G mobile phone camera.
And for my traditional artworks, I just use some basic 0.5mm or 3.0mm (maybe sometimes 5.0mm) mechanical pencils and a few cheap erasers that I got off of Wish ages ago.
Who are your inspirations?
My inspirations are other artists that I look up to here on DA, and on Twitter and YouTube. These people include: Loish, Cyarin, Larienne, Lighane, Hyanna-Natsu, DestinyBlue, Neko-Rina, Sasucchi95, CHARIKO, MazaMuno, Qinni (RIP), wlop, Yuumei, Looji, Dreamalgia, Nadiaxel, DrawingWiffWaffles, LavenderTowne, Wolfychu, Emerichu, Nawnii, imawonder, Minori, Jazza, Rossdraws, PricklyAlpaca, SomeNormalArtist, static-wool and many, many more.
What inspires you to draw?
If I'm honest, what I draw really depends on how I feel at that time, I am a highly emotional person, but my art may not necessarily reflect how I feel, and often doesn't for the most part. For example, I could draw a happy girl, with a huge smile on her face, yet I could be feeling like complete trash. I could draw a really sad girl who is crying her eyes out, and I could be feeling somewhat alright. Do you see what I mean now? It just doesn't make any sense!
I'm also inspired by music lyrics, and I often observe people for drawing ideas. Like for example, one day I saw a guy and a girl standing at a pedestrian crossing. They were college students, and they were waiting to cross the road. As I looked out of the car window, I noticed that the girl was looking at the guy with the cutest, flirtiest begging face I had ever seen, and he wasn't really paying attention to her... but when he finally noticed her expression, his whole face lit up, and then the green light came on and they walked across the road and into the college campus together, with her holding onto his arm. It was the most adorable thing I'd seen, and I plan on drawing it at some point.
Inspiration can come from anywhere and everywhere, imho.
What do you like to draw?
I like to draw fantasy & monster girls, I draw anything from demons to mermaids, from cyclopses to elves and pixies, even cyborgs and gynoids. I do draw guys, but scarcely, and I draw fanart sometimes too. I also like to draw custom designs for people in order to make a bit of cash on the side! XD
Can I follow you on your other socials?
Yes, you may! If you want my @ for my other socials, just ask me!
Will you follow me back?
That depends on a few factors. As a rule of thumb, I usually only follow close friends and my inspiriations, no offense...
Can I repost/reblog/redraw your work and upload them to other socials?
Yes, but only on a few conditions. You must ask for my permission beforehand, and once you have been given the okay by me, you must credit me for any of the works you repost from my gallery. That's all I'm asking for.
What do I do if I see your work being stolen/reuploaded without proper credit?
If you see this happening, then please leave me a comment/note/DA Chat with a link to the infringing/stolen image and I will deal with it from there. Thank you!
Can I have a gift/some freebies?
No, especially not if you keep pestering me. I only give gifts to who I want, when I feel like it. Please do not beg me for free stuff, otherwise you will be blacklisted and blocked.
Can I draw your characters/make fanart for you?
Of course you can, I would love that! Please make sure you do mention that the characters are mine, and leave a link to my profile! Thank you!
