I'm just a normal person who draws

Wed Jul 15, 2009, 8:20 AM
  • Listening to: A Tiny, Clever Commander (Nazrin)
  • Reading: Ga Rei
  • Playing: Touhou 6 on Lunatic WHYYY
Yes I'm playing too much Touhou and itss TEEEEERRRRIBLE DIALOGUE okay shut up
Next pchat dump is gonna be so full of touhou shite SOB
Okay uh Aaaaaartist meme stolen from dearest Julia :iconilovetodraw:

Your name?
Kaaaaayteee.

If possible, your age?
19. SOB I AM AN OLD WOMAN

When did you start drawing?
When I was about four or five.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right.

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Well, there's actually not too much difference in how I draw the two at this point, though apparently people can tell the difference due to clothing (Ami gets frequently mistaken for a boy if I just draw her head)
I guess boys? I have a SERIOUS problem with drawing pretty members of either gender, though. All my girls are plain.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
It’s not so much a matter of how long the hair is, but how it’s styled. This, man
though I find short hair a lot easier and funner, personally.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Oh God if I'm doodling the face is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS going right because I start it off with a right facing curve.
The rest of the time it alternates.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front view.

What do you have problems in drawing?
Poses that don’t look awkward. People sitting, or with their legs crossed… SECONDED YET AGAIN
Honestly, I have issue with any kind of
a) dynamic posing
b) perspective
or
c) work that involves correct proportion.
I also cannot draw scenery, animals or plantlife BOOOO
Also pretty girls or boys, a style that doesn't look like infantilised anime, realism....

What do you like to draw?
I love love love drawing expressions. Especially angry ones. The problem is that my style varies WILDLY while doing expressions because I am just so <s>shitty</s> AWESOME at art

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Don't get me wrong, drawing traditionally is incomparable and beautiful and personally I think it looks a LOT better, but I, personally, am a digital artist. :3c
It's easier to rectify mistakes, I absolutely LOVE good art programs, CG is a really theraputic form of colouring for me.

Where do you start drawing from?
Doodling: the curve of the face.
Real drawing: The head? Sometimes the spine if I'm being ADVENTUROUS WITH POSING (read: barely ever)

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
The curve thing.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
I can't do either :T

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
FAR TOO FUCKING LONG CONSIDERING THE END PRODUCT

What music do you listen to while you draw?
It's not like writing; I don't particularly care if music is playing and it doesn't impact what I'm drawing. So anything.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
USUALLY AS LONG AS IT TAKES FOR ME TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE

Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencils, copicskk haldk;islfsa; SO GOOOOOODDDD, Paint Tool SAI.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
This kind of strange sea-green. It's the colour I sign with on tegaki, and it's often a background to pictures I draw :s
I love green a lot fhgfhg

Your favorite style(s)?
OH MAN THERE ARE SO MANY. There's actually a few people on my devwatch list who I particularly like the style of.
Jhonen is still one of my favourite artists, also Bryan Lee O' Malley. I like Satoshi Kon because his style of animu is more realistic (also Hajime Segawa just because his DDD8 faces are BYOOTIFUL and exactly how I aim to draw them). Junji Ito for the weeeeeird. Genndy Tartakovsky. Ben Balistreri.
I actually intensely dislike most anime styles.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
ONE WHOSE ART DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANIME ANYMORE I'M SO SICK OF IT URRRRRRGHGHGHGH

'ullo Toby!
I did okay! : D I got a first in Japanese, which I was really happy about. 2.1s overall.
How did you do?
And yeah, I am! It's cary how close it is, isn't it?

This is my song for you, 眠ることのない思い...
Aw, awesome. well done! I can't say I'm surprised that you did well. I got 2:1s generally, but I was pleasantly surprised to get a first for BJL2.
And yeah, I'm feeling totally unready. I've got about 4 weeks left and I still haven't got my visa yet :S That's a job for this week.When do you head out?

Awh man, congratulations! The feeling's very much mutual : ) I knew you'd do really well.

Oh, same here D: Aren't they due to mail out the Certificate of Eligibility soon and then we can get our visa? I'm worrying a little about it.
26th August! You?

This is my song for you, 眠ることのない思い...
Ah yeah. They're mailing them out now I think. I think they come straight from your uni so it depends on the uni. I got mine last week so I rushed straight to London to get it sorted. I'm flying on the 5th of August and I'm hella scared. I'm staying with Eri's family for a month so I've been swotting up on my Kansai-ben. Just as I was starting to get the hang of standard Japanese :( I know I've asked you about a million times but just remind me where is it you're going again? Somewhere up North, I seem to remember?
