Artist Asks! 1, 5, 6, 10!

Do you prefer traditional drawing, or digital?

i used to draw almost exclusively digital but lately ive been reallyy getting back into traditional art... i think overall i prefer traditional more currently! i think i have better control over the lines i made when im using a pencil or pen than when i do digital if that makes sense

another thing is that digital art strains my eyes really badly :( i can look at my computer for hours at a time no problem but as soon as i start Drawing on my computer its only maybe an hour or two before i have to stop and give my eyes a break which sucks

ive also been trying to explore more mediums in traditional art this year which ive been having a lot of fun with! i think my watercolor skills have really improved :) and im even giving gouache another try akjskg

5. What’s your favorite thing to draw?

yaoi LMAOOOO

no im kidding i think my favorite thing to draw. well the honest answer is The Characters eating my brain. but more generally i love drawing people i think its really fun. esp faces!! an overly specific bit is um i got into xianxia stuff this year and i reallyyy like drawing the collars on the robes jkasfj like all the overlapping clothing layers...

6. What’s your least favorite thing to draw?

LEGS. I HATE HGJKHAKGK I HATE!!!! i can NEVER get the proportions right on the first or even second try and i just really struggle w them for some reason?? feet too. maybe my new year's resolution can be actually doing anatomy studies and improving my leg drawing skills

10. Are you confident about your art?

honestly yeah!! i definitely think i have a ton of room to improve especially in anatomy and the skill of actually like, finishing pieces instead of just sketching bullshit all the time, but i like my art and comparing my current stuff to a few years ago ive really improved a lot :)
