Aww! That's so sweet! It made me smile hehe
Need something like that on my front door too

11. This one I sketched last month but was not able to finish it on time for Valentines Day (wanted to depict different types of love, in this case familial love and pets)

So here is a wip of kid Julei and her foster father Sarvil. He gifted her a pet Scuttler 💚

10. I did more art trades than art collabs, honestly! But if the question refers to collaborating in projects with other people, then yes I did! And very much so, I really enjoy it!

9. Generally, I really enjoy drawing & gifting people art, but I realized after a period of time of doing that that I wasn't fulfilling my own needs but kept ignoring them instead. So right now, I try to focus more on personal art.

8. Honestly, ever since I stopped caring about being perfect or have my art be "the best", but just listening to what I want, or rather, what my inner voice tells me (which does want to become better but to make myself happy in the things I wish for), I feel more confident in my art.

7. Well... Few years ago, it was more professionally, currently it's mostly for fun. It kept changing because of life circumstances. I'd like to strike a balance for both but will see, still trying to figure some things out irl for that.

6. My least favorite thing to draw is the things I don't know well enough & end up struggling with them (part of me is obsessed with speed). Last time I disliked drawing hands holding chopsticks, eventho I had fun drawing hands making 🫶. But it's a necessary step to go through and we'll all be fine.

5. I use references whenever I lack something in my visual library or if I want to represent something more accurately. Which is often, and that's okay. It can help us realize our idea better, if the idea asks for it.

4. My favorite thing to draw. aside from lizard people 🦎✨, I do enjoy drawing backgrounds, any kind although nature is what I like the most. And, in general, finding interesting compositions IRL through urban sketching (not shown on my art blogs/social medias. I keep it to myself for now).

3. I didn't take classes until end of high school bc I wanted to "get better at my hobby". It was 2-3 years, & then I went to art academy for 5-6 years.

Technically, I still take workshops & classes even now. So it's something that is ongoing. In short, many classes, always something new to learn!

2. I have been drawing since I was a kid. It was more so a hobby and to express my inner world and ideas. There were times were I stopped drawing, like in high school, but it made me feel depressed instead. So it's definitely something I can't go without.

So my whole life so far with a few pauses.

1. I like both digital and traditional! I find more freedom in traditional art tbh (especially 2 meters tall canvases), but digital is what I use the most bc I have the most practice and comfort in. In a way, it's also a habit. Would love to return to making traditional art though...

Oh right, I forgot that gimmicks are down and under maintenance...
