What I Draw
More about what I like to spend time scribbling down
"What do you draw?"
I'm always up to try anything once but I typically like to draw
OCs/character interactions
Natural scenery/animals
Fantasy settings
Modern/Slice of life settings
Emotionally driven/moody pieces
Shoes
Vehicles
Guns
Typically I stick to my own art style and don't deviate much from
it but sometimes I experiment to get out of my usual zones. I never
know how to explain my art style but the best I can manage is mostly
anime-inspired.
I spent a good few years trying to get consistent anatomy down and
now I'm trying to return to making my work more cartoonishly
expressive since I feel that fits my present style best.
I love animation and videogames and these are a common source of
inspiration for me, such as:
Final Fantasy (particularly 7 and 9)
Legend of Zelda
Spyro the Dragon
Sonic the Hedgehog
RPGs in general
Studio Ghibli
Studio Chizu
Laika
HunterxHunter
Delicious in Dungeon
A bunch of other misc anime
Smatterings of Disney and Dreamworks films
Those above are just examples but I delve into a wider variety than
I can cover here without making this list silly long. I spend a good
bit of time watching new shows on the side while I work or playing
videogames for fresh inspiration from mainstream to obscure. I
believe there are merits in both convention and out-of-the-box in
terms of gaining inspiration.
I'm terrible at following trends or keeping up with the
latest/hottest things on the scene, I prefer to do my own thing at
my own pace.
I refuse to draw any form of hate art targeting marginalized groups.
I will also not draw any art intended for use as an NFT or use
within the cryptocurrency scene in general. I don't consent to my
art being used to train AI.
"What do you use to draw?"
Like many artists I started with traditional pencil and paper work.
I started becoming a more digital artist when I was 13 and it's
what I mainly use now, but I like to return to traditional mediums
occasionally.
I use a Huion HS611 tablet, I'm a bit of an outlier who dislikes the
fancier LCD screen tablets though I do also own a Surface Pro 3 for
occasional art use (and primarily travel computer use).
"Can you teach me how to draw?"
I obviously can't dedicate full time to teaching anyone to draw but
I'm happy to help give pointers and advice to those who ask!
