❤︎ Frequently Asked Questions
What tablet, software, and brushes do you use?
I use an iPad 6th gen, Apple Pencil, and Procreate. My brushes are Jingsketch's Basic 10
and Azu's Brushset (cannot find a download link for this anymore, sorry x.x)How long have you been drawing? Did you go to school for art or are you self taught?
I've been drawing since the summer of 2012 when I was 13 yo, so pretty late compared to a lot of artists who say they've been drawing since they could hold a pencil. I was originally a writer, but it turns out I like drawing a lot more! I'm self taught, but I have taken a ton of courses and read a lot of books on art anatomy, character design, animation, and rendering.What resources do you reccomend for learning art?
Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter by James Gurney, Morpho: Fat and Skin Folds by Michel Lauricella, The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams, Line of Action,
