Artist Baton

Your name?
Noora K.

If possible, your age?
17 (18 this year, yay...)

When did you start drawing?
I've always loved to draw but I got really into it when I was about 10 years old or something like that.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right.

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Female! I'm so bad at drawing male characters.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long hair, I guess. I always end up drawing long hair even though I probably could draw short hair too

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Towards the left.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
I guess the side view is a bit easier but I usually draw the front view.

What do you have problems in drawing?
Hands, feet, backgrounds, male characters, some animals... etc.

What do you like to draw?
Fantasy-like female characters, fanart (if I'm really into something at that moment), hair and eyes, etc. Pretty much anything that I want to draw.

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I'm a digital artist but I like to draw traditionally sometimes too. (I love my Wacom and colouring pencils! )

Where do you start drawing from?
I draw the face or just make a fast sketch of the whole drawing first.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I'm inside my own cube when I draw and listen to music. No one can interfere me then.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
I'm bad at giving any kinds of tips but just try different kinds of things and be open for critique! Critique is something that makes you better. At least I always listen to any feedback and I'll take those as a gift for improving myself.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
It depends. Some sketches or faster drawings might take from couple of minutes to couple of hours but some bigger drawings can take 10-15h or even days. I usually can't finish a piece if it takes many days. I always try to finish everything in one go. (That means staying up all night...)

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Anything that just wants to be played or some playlist that I've been listening lately. I won't hear all of it anyway.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Usually I just get an image to my head like a flash but sometimes I can't seem to find any inspiration for a looooooong loooooong time.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
Photoshop cs3, Wacom Intuos3 a5, pencils, Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft colouring pencils, etc.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I love blood/wine red and some shades of turquoise/purple/blue.

Your favorite style(s)?
Realistic/semi-realistic (Heise, Nico Di Mattia), some manga styles such as Eyeshield 21 (Yuusuke Murata), Trigun/Trigun Maximum (Yasuhiro Nightow), Gintama (Hideaki Sorachi), Mark Crilley, Kim Jae-hwan and MANY many others.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
I want to be able to draw like many of my favourite artists one day. (Pretty much everyone was already mentioned in the previous question.)

Thank you.
