| Maly's drawing-tastic art survey |
| What is your favorite subject to draw? | people |
| What is your most common choice in 2-d media? | for rendering? Probably Copic Markers |
| Anything you refuse to draw? | not yet |
| Real anatomy or cartoon physics? | realistic. I can do the caricature sort of stuff, but it doesn't come naturally so to speak. |
| Which is more important - solid inking skills or solid color theory? | for me it would probably be colour |
| Photoshop or PSP? Illustrator or Painter? | Photoshop and Illustrator |
| Markers - Prismacolor or Tria? | Copic! Although I do have a few Tria for those nice extra fine nibs. But they are a cow to get the lid off! |
| Paints - oils, acrylics, or watercolors? | Painting with oils is orgasmic, but time consuming. Acrylics is relatively practical. Watercolour is nice, but limited. It all depends on the look you're going for. I love mixed media myself! |
| Have you ever done a stippling project outside of art class? | stippling? The only stipples I ever used was while working in the Print trade... |
| Ever imitate a popular style of art? (anime, disney, comic book...) | Drew Struzan |
| How would you define your "style?" | Realistic |
| What is one area of drawing that you need to improve in? | All of it. Hopefully I'll always be improving. |
| When did you start drawing as a hobby? (we all drew when we were little) | As soon as I could hold a pencil. I was drawing comics for myself at 12. |
| What kind of sketchbook do you have? Brand? Size? How old is it? | Canson Visual Diary. A4 and I have an A5 that goes EVERYWHERE with me. Just in case. ;~) |
| How many sketchbooks have you had previous to this? | Um. Lots. |
| How many sketchbooks do you go through in a year? | 100pgs A4, maybe 2? Plus 1-2 A5s |
| #2 yellow pencil or a clicky pencil? | mechanical pencil |
| What kind of eraser do you use? | the good white sort. |
| Who are your artistic influences? | Oh god. ALl of them to some degree. I love Leonardo Da Vinci. Drew Struzan would be one I'm definately fannish about. Norman Rockwell. I love Alex Ross's stuff too. |
| What books would you reccomend to aspiring artists? | Um... Find what you like and run with it. |
| Do you have any favorite online tutorial sites? | No. I have learned some invaluable stuff from fellow fanartists. |
| What is the most money you've ever made on one drawing / illustration / painting? | $250 for a portrait oil painting |
| What do you hope to accomplish with your art? Do you want to go anywhere with it in life? | Illustrator! |
