Art Dump + 30 Random Questions: Artist Edition! I love answering these sort of questions as it gives me a chance to go on about myself xD I also love reading other people's answers too though lol bc they’re just so INTERESTING thank you @otter_puggy for writing the original questions! :D desc of this dump in notes and credits, scroll a bit :) ✁----------------- 1. how are you? just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful, smart, amazing, and you deserve the world. THANK YOU *sobs* eh, I’m okay. Very tired after having a sleepover (dw I tested for Covid first & everything) 2. what kind of art do you enjoy doing? Digital and traditional (pencil / pen), occasionally painting 3. what is your favorite medium? ooofffff, hard to say... digital? 4. who is your favorite artist? AHHHH there are so many amazing ones but I love alicexz (deviantart, ig, etc). Her use of colour and sketchy style combined with realism is gorgeous! also, @/kohffi on ig’s art is stunning. She’s only about a year older than me too so maybe I can get there one day :0 5. where do you get your inspiration? Pinterest is amazing for studies and Instagrann is great for new ideas etc :D 6. what do you like to create? fanart of fictional girls :D they're usually about five times prettier than I could ever aspire to be & they have a cool talent which you can symbolise! doing cool lighting and warm colours are nice. plus adding sparkles. 7. when have you started doing art? have always drawn, only really started taking it seriously last year when I started digital art (got a lot of catching up to do) 8. are you planning/doing art for a career? nope :( I’m probably going to be a doctor or something? Idk… 9. do you post art here? yes! It’s what I’m “famous” for lol 10. are you interested in art history? hmm. Like, maybe a bit? My cousin’s doing it at uni so I’ll ask him whether it’s interesting. I think learning stuff about Renaissance artists is cool and looking through any beautiful old art is fun. I like going to galleries but only if there aren’t so many people you can’t hear yourself think (looking at you Louvre) 11. do you go to any classes for art? used to but Covid said farewell to that :( I’ve done it myself since pre-Christmas and surprisingly I’ve seen a massive improvement in spite of that? 12. list 5 of your inspirations. it can be anyone! other than alicexz and kohffi: behnsi on ig polarts_ on ig kolarpem on ig 13. do you ever get burnt out? if so, how do you deal with it? YES YES YES AND IT SUCKS. >:( I tend to either just go around in a bad mood or do something else like playing the piano 14. what supplies do you use to draw? a) Procreate on IPad with Apple Pencil b) biros :D c) pencils—any pencils, but sketching ones in tins labelled 2H or 6B are my favourites d) acrylic / watercolour paint (which brand? clueless) e) sketchbook my friend bought me / watercolour paper my mum got when I was literally three 15. do you like painting? yep, but it’s messyyyyy 16. do you sell your artwork? theoretically I would if I got customers :eyes: 17. what do you like to listen to while you draw? Music xD there’s this really good “if enemies to lovers was a playlist” playlist on YouTube and it has 3 Conan Gray songs plus Line Without a Hook and I love it— 18. what's the hardest thing in art for you? Spending time on stuff and not getting bored of a piece xD either I’m o b s e s s e d with it and have to be dragged away or I get bored within a few minutes and the piece goes in the dump 19. what skill are you learning/want to learn? DRAWING BACKGROUNDS!!!! I soooo want to be able to do that—but I never practice and keep complaining of getting bored so… xD 20. do you put filters over your artwork? occasionally,,, like chromatic aberration or sm for backgrounds especially? 21. does you family support you and your art? yep and I show them everything I draw and make them be enthusiastic over it xD 22. do you consider yourself as a beginner? yes definitely, there’s so much I need to learn 23. what is a rule you always go by when creating art? if digital: FLIP. THE. CANVAS. WHILE. DRAWING. it saves EVERYTHING. traditional: sketch out the piece first or you’ll be sorryyy (huge admiration to those who can just,,, draw with pen straight away?) 24. do you like drawing backgrounds? Traditionally—I love doing landscape studies. Digitally—I really wanna try but idk where to start lol 25. can someone commission you? if so, put details! yep, my ig is @/doodles.of.anna 26. what is the most important part of art? (color, form, etc.) Idkkk… colours and values make everything pop, I think. Plus shading which is basically the same lol. Oh, also texture can really spice up a boring piece
