3 and 21, if you still wanna :3
oh boy do I! ask game here!
3. What ideas come from when you were little
gods I need to remember what I drew when I was a kid... turns out I've always been interested in messing around with crayons n stuff! according to my mom bc I don't remember any of that at all. the only thing I remember abt drawing as a kid is 4yo me in my kindergarten class drawing a person portrait with only black brown and red for colors because all the other crayons were snatched up by the rest of the class. the teachers were debating putting my drawing on the wall at all bc of how shitty it was lmao. in the end they still put it up but in a far corner where u have to really look for it to find it. garbage but extremely funny thing to do to a 4yo I feel
but yeah I was basically a battery-powered animal of malice as a child lol. I actually didn't commit to drawing as the Thing I do until I was, like, 15yo? so most of what I started with were like, cardcaptor sakura and detective conan fanart. not a lot of connective tissue in there visual-wise. to my own recollection I don't have a "childhood dream" of being an artist or an art vision I deperately want to realise every since I was a babe whatever, I was just extremely bad at making shapes by conventional standard until I started liking very specific things and couldn't find enough of those things out in the wild, and then I started experimenting in my backyard. it's all very mundane and trivial like that, but I'm only some guy afterall
21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
uncle mod's TPOH I feel like is about as diametrically opposite of my personal styles as possible, but I think it slaps and I love looking at it. I also used to really love yuumei's art and still enjoy it now, even though craft-wise I detest doing that kind of glass-like "anime graphic" so to say rendering. anything hyperrealistic is also definitely outside of my wheelhouse, but when used to do more whimsical stuff I am a big fan of it, like with sun yuan & peng yu's "Fallen Angel" and "Teenager, teenager". I'm a fan of miku! and like 80% of her official visuals are things I would never want to draw myself in a thousand years! I like a lot of art and do very specific, if random, things.
#ask#combustibabe#bakuspeech#artist ask#thank you for the ask!#honestly I do think if I run after every kind of art I find fun to look at I would die before I could take a single breath#I've learned this lesson. art I like and art I do are two entirely different things#I do what feels nice to do. I look at what's nice to look at. these two things are not synonyms#reason 1 of 3874372847 why I would not survive in an art school or a legitimate company#but hey! it's true. it's why not everyone does art all of the time. cause some things suck shit to do!#it all makes sense see (I stand in front of you in disheveled button up and slacks with a stick pointing at the board like I just threw up)#the first question which is the third one in the ask game is also rly interesting to answer bc it makes me realize how like#there isn't really a ''core'' or ''true self'' to my person at all. this is all artifice and made up babey!!#I feel like now that I have more controls over my own environment I will settle a bit. and be recognizeable as a person#but my childhood was and will always be a loose collection of like four different kids#I'm not a character I don't have super clear and in-your-face impactful backstory. I just made myself up one day#the moral of the story is you can do anything forever. just make up a person you wanna be and be that! it's fine#it's all fine! (I have gotten even more disheveled and I crack the pointing stick over my knee)
