【Artist Baton】

◆Your name?
Maru _{actually Maja, but it's quite dumb.}

◆If possible, your age?
...secret. ₁₆

◆When did you start drawing?
guess that kids always draw their silly scribbles or try to actually do something on paper? ummm but for a bit more seriously around 2006? idk.
really need to improve more.

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right. oh so unoriginal~

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Male.
But round hips are way much more easy to draw than boy-ish ones. *cough*
I like muscles... *dies*

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Short~
also - spiky :S

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Left

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
...umm... both are ok. Though a half-profile is very easy for pencil and ballpoint, while the front is easier while painting in photoshop. LOL

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Uhhh... Perspective, breasts, very action-y poses... Backgrounds... STRAIGHT LINES-- and possibly much more, can't list them right now.
you know it when you have to do so, and then the rage comes in.

◆What do you like to draw?
faces in general + random swirls/patterns.
also stickmen
pointy ears
.and.
Gay stuff

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Switching.
In free time I really like to paint in photoshop : > but you can't use digital media everywhere lol;;; anddd it's sometimes tiring/gets boring/eyes hurt *lazy* umm but as for the drawings/lines I really prefer traditional media.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
A pile of boxes? ttly srs. that works for still lives as well

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
dunno... getting easily distracted by other things while drawing... ummm abonding pictures/never finishing them to just start a new one. BEGIN LAZY at some points.
I have a lot of ideas, but am too lazy to put them all on the paper/digital media.
ffff.... my sketches are really messy D:
often put myself down after looking at some epic work and then at my own.

Drawing in class lol??? although it doesn't count I guess.
idk. a lot.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
... D: I'm too retarded for that/nothing special to share + poor English
BUT WELL UH--
don't cut your wrists or eat your own (or any other) fingers.
look up a for a reference when you need to,_{(but don't copy, dammit D: *kick*)} rape your pictures with textures and photoshop effects.
don't overdo shiny-ness like I do do DETAILS.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Not sure, it depends.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
It depends on my mood? Different stuff. D:
I love to listen to classic music and OST's, because it's nice and doesn't really distract from the piece... something catchy might be fine too lol;;;;
Hypnogaja is awesome as well... D:


◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
what It's random.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
uhh @__@"
pencils + ballpoint/ink pen

Guess that digital doesn't count here?


◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
BROWN D: it's epic, reddish/pinkish too... Purple is great - not using it a lot tho.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
UMMM UMMMM I LOVE JJ _{(임종희:Lim. jong-hee)} His artwork is just so awesome!!ahh _{(he's painting the Lineage II artwork for example and did some work for Silkroad...)}

I want to be this epic someday... D: but I phail OTL
