#it was nice reflecting on the topic regardless of how inarticulate I am teehee

General question: What got you into art in the first place? I know my account clearly has a gimmick, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate your other works, so I'd like to know the "why"

wip 4 u while i work on it!!!

As for the question, Honestly, it's hard to say. If I were to summarize, I suppose I'd say I'm just an interest*-driven artist, and I've always looked up to other artists' skills and the work that they can create.

*interest, both interest in the topic of art, and my own personal interests such as the media I enjoy.

I've been drawing digitally for about 6 years (I'm 18 now), and as far as I can remember, my drawings have always had something to do with my interests. Fanart, in general, was one of the things that really made me want to take art more seriously (sounds silly!), because I tend to get REALLY invested in my interests, and fanart or OC content has been a good way for me to have been able to express this over the years, as well as something I've always enjoyed seeing others create.

Even though the whole "being able to express my ideas and love for something through art" has been one of the main factors to keep doing art, getting better at it has always driven me. It's not really like the whole "I need to be better than everyone" thing, and more that I really enjoy learning about the different aspects of art, and getting a lot of knowledge on the subject itself. (Don't get me wrong, doing studies and stuff drives me insane, but ultimately it's something I enjoy. Seeing my art progress over time, and being able to express my ideas more accurately the more I learn is always nice.)

Generally, I've always been lucky enough to have the people I know being encouraging when It came to my artwork (regardless of how suboptimal my art has been from time to time haha) so it's been rare for me to genuinely consider quitting art, and I've also developed a few habits over the years, like how I usually tend to draw at least once a day without any reason for it, have it be a minor doodle or a complete piece. (Some years back, I filled out a "one sketch a year" sketchbook I was gifted, so that might be where the habit mainly stemmed from lol) Drawing is just something I do, at this point. It's hard to imagine me not drawing. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm doing art Obsessively, but I enjoy it regardless.

Overall, I just really like drawing stuff that haunts my mind, and always have👍👍👍
