I was tagged by (which, by the way, is an awesome artist!)

◆Your name?
Sheryl.

◆If possible, your age?
Well....turning 15 this year.

◆When did you start drawing?
Um...kindergarten..? (Even if it was really suck-ish)

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right hand, but I hold the pencil differently from most of the others.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Female. I'm planning to practise drawing males though.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Um...both are easy in my opinion, but I have more fun drawing long hair.

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Left. I don't know why, but it’s become a habit already.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front view, because lately, I'm having trouble drawing side view.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Male hairstyles, eyes, anatomy...perspective, buildings, trees, animals...basically a lot of things.

◆What do you like to draw?
Well, I like drawing my original characters and animals, especially rabbits. XD

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Traditional. Digital art, to me, is really challenging and slow.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
Well, I always start drawing a circle first for the face. Everything else comes after that.

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Um…I tend to tilt and hold the pencil differently from others. Most would use 3 fingers to…support the pencil in their hand grip and 2 to hold the pencil. I would use 2 fingers to support the pencil and 3 to hold, but that’s just how I hold the pencil.

◆What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
Traditional: Be extremely careful. One slip up would cause a catastrophe. Another slip up from fixing it would spoil the whole picture.
Digital: Also, be careful, but there’s an undo button, luckily.
◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Um…observe. A lot. That’s the only way to be good.
◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
For traditional shading, without a background takes about a day or so. With a background, it takes a week. Ballpoint pens, about an hour or so (depending on your free time in class XD) and with two pens, a day. Colour pencils, for one small picture, it takes about 45 mins plus inking time.
Digital art takes me about a week, a month or more, depending on how long my eyes can take it.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
It used to be English songs, until I started listening to Vocaloid. Enough said.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Maybe about a week or so. Depends on how much time I have to observe my surroundings and think in peace, without any noise.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencils and papers. They are the materials that start out masterpieces.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Blue.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
Manga and semi-realism.

◆Are you satisfied with your current art?
No, and I plan to improve because of that.

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
An artist who knows enough to publish a comic, or makes masterpieces which really speak a thousand words.

◆Thank you.
