QUESTIONS: 1. To start off, how long have you been creating art for? · Ever since I was alive basically, but I really got into it around 5th grade when I discovered the existence of Kleki. 2. Do you consider yourself a beginner artist? · I think so. I'm either a beginner or a borderline intermediate. I only discovered the existence of blending modes like 2 months ago. 3.

Least favorite color / color combination? · I honestly have zero idea. 10: What, in your opinion, is a feature that defines your artstyle? · Um. That is honestly a very intriguing question.
