The artist questions, all of them.

Hello there! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

1. Favouritemedium or technique?I like both digital and traditional. Honestly, I am not very good attraditional art since it does not allow you to make all those mistakes andadjustments digital does but I really enjoy it, especially little randomdoodles or watercolours. Occasionally I just draw something in digital, printit and then trace it onto paper so I could watercolour it later. I will workhard on my skills in both fields but for now, I prefer digital sketching andlineart (I utterly despise colouring in digital, haha).

2. Doyou have a specific place you like to create at?I usually just draw at home because it’s the most comfortable way for meto do it.

3. Doyou value quality or quantity more?Quality, 100 %. I am always envious of other artists who can produce alot of art pieces very quickly but that comes with practice I think. I mightget to that point sometime in the future as well but for now I like to take mytime (please read as WAY TOO MUCH TIME) with my creations and work on themuntil I am at least somewhat satisfied with them. That’s basically why I createlike… a single picture a year, ugh.

4. Whatwould you consider the best approach towards improvement?Definitely inspiration, be it from others, music or whatever you findinspiring. Never ever treat other artists as threats or anything in that tonebut rather as an inspiration and try your best to learn from them and theirtechniques. For example livestreams or speedpaintings are a great way ofstudying someone else’s working process. Something that really helps me as well is constantly trying out new things, beit new brushes, colours or techniques. Always try to push yourself a bitfurther with each piece – try something you haven’t done before. A lot ofpeople tell you to draw every day which is wonderful, yes, but very tiring aswell, so don’t be afraid to take breaks. Honestly, I don’t draw every singleday, usually I make a veeeeeeeery long pauses between my drawing sessions andthat is alright, too, I still notice a certain degree of progress. Art is notsupposed to be forced, it’s predominantly supposed to be fun. Pauses can behelpful, too, of course. They can help you notice those little mistakes youmake in your pieces and allow you to fix them. Don’t worry about not having a particulardistinctive style or anything, that all will come eventually, just don’t loseyourself to the machine of constantly produced content – take your time and trynew things every change you get.

5. Doyou ever feel pressured to create?Oh heck yes and it really flippin’ sucks. However, it’s not like… fromthe outside but more of an inside process I guess? But honestly, if you feelpressured to create, just take a break from it because that is definitely notgood for any sides – you, your work, your health or your followers/fans.

6. Doyou have a specific time your creative side is the most prominent?Not personally I think? It really depends but occasionally I can stay upuntil ungodly hours drawing which feels really good, to be honest.

7. Asmall sketchbook or a big canvas?I actually prefer small sketchbooks when drawing traditional. Big canvasesmake me quite overwhelmed in real life but when drawing digital, my canvasesare usually A4 or A3 format (so it would look pretty if printed, hehe).

8. Doyou ever feel like giving up? What do you do to fight this feeling?Way too often, actually. I get very envious when it comes to otherartists but not in a vile way, I am very happy for them and thankful forsharing their gorgeous creations and I like to let them know but I envy theirenergy and creativeness and it really beats me to the ground sometimes. I don’tfind myself or my work unique in any way and therefore I don’t even share mydrawings online anymore, I just create for myself or my own enjoyment, althoughoccasionally I would really love to show them off and probably embarrass myselfimmensely, hah. However, the other day I was going through my art folder withall the WIPs and I went through some serious emo hours so… I guess that’s what keeps me going – the sheerlove for the craft and creating new things. Hey, maybe one day I’ll be braveenough to show my work off again, who really knows.

9. Doyou enjoy sharing your ideas with others?Yes, I really do and I do that WAY TOO MUCH to the point I start hatingthe idea and never progress with it… basically. Sigh.

10. Howdoes the treatment of artists make you feel?Upset, usually. I mean it depends on the point of view. Some people arereally nice and kind and some are just a fucking pain the in the ass, to be honest.Recently I’ve noticed how entitled some consumers of artwork feel and literallybully artists when they do not provide the desired content and that’s… prettyhorrifying. I’ve witnessed way too many artist close their accounts due toexcessive bullying and that makes me incredibly sad. I honestly feel like weshould be grateful that they even feel like sharing their work with us for free.Also, if you don’t like something or don’t agree with it, there is always ablock or mute button somewhere. That’s the magic of the internet, for some areally hard concept to grasp as I’ve noticed.Oh and also commissions. A lot of people tend to say they are overpricedbut never really care to consider all the time and effort an artist has to putinto the piece. Just… stop, please. And on the other hand, if you feel like theartist is undercharging, feel free to tip them.

11. Doyou think art has the potential to change the world?You see, I am a big fan of the Korean group BTS and they just finishedtheir series called Love Yourself which carried an incredibly sweet andimportant message, making millions of people around the world truly see thepositives and love within themselves, so yeah, I really think so. We consumeart every single day in any shape or form you can think of so if the medium is usedin the right way, it has the potential to do great things. Sadly, art is used tohurt, too, but as long as your intentions are kind, don’t be afraid toparticipate as well and make the world a better place for everyone.

Thank you so much for asking!! ♥Have a lovely day!
