◆ Your name? Kristina.



If possible, your age? 21.



When did you start drawing? Um... when I was first able to hold a pencil- or well crayons. xD I started drawing a lot though in 6th grade- pokemon totally pulled me into the anime scene. .___.;;;



Which hand do you use for drawing? Left, though I can draw decent gestures with my right hand too. owo;;


Which is easier to draw - male or female? For the longest time females were easier- but I'm pretty comfortable drawing either now.


Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair? Long~ I love drawing long flowy hair. owo


Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left? Left I suppose- though its really more of a comfort thing than whether its easier or not.


Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view? I like drawing them both? DD8 I don't know if one is really any easier that the other for me. |D'


What do you have problems in drawing? Hands, feet and interesting poses.


What do you like to draw? Original character and other people's original characters.


Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist? Both. I like to experiment a lot with both mediums.


Where do you start drawing from? Well the head- but I usually start off with a quick gesture layout for the post and such I want to do. Then move onto refining the head and body and such. .w.


What is your drawing habit that you are aware of? I don't know. DD8 i um.... I have really fun looking sketches in my sketchbooks- yet can't get any of my finished pieces to look as interesting? |D;;;


What do you keep in mind when you do lineart? "jfksdljflksd DONT MESS UP." When i do real lineart it means its done traditionally. my digital works rarely have any real lines as they're just my original sketch.


Any tips for coloring/shading? Use at least one layer per color. .w. its easier to adjust it then. And don't be afraid to do bold shading. DD8 I see a lot of people who will do really smalll amount of shading near the lines, rather than capturing all the different shades and such in folds etc. Mixing colors is always a good idea as well. I tend to use cooler colors in my shading than just a different shade of the base color.


How long does it take to finish a piece of art? Um it depends on how its finished and how detailed it is. I work faster with some mediums than others. Of course I don't think I'll even know since SOME PEOPLE like to distract me while I'm drawing.


What music do you listen to while you draw? Whatever is on my itunes- though recently I've been listening to music from the 50s; Tennessee Ernie Ford, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Perry Como....etc owo;;;


How long does it take you to come up with an idea? It varies, some things come out nice the first time- others I go through a couple dozen drafts. .w.;;;


Your favorite drawing utensils? Everything I use? lol Prismacolor colored pencils and markers, Copic multiliners, and my tablet. fjklfsjdl D8 oh and my spiffy toned sketchbook.


Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot? Um.... I suppose I could say more recently I've been using more black- but i like to use purples a lot in my shading. .w.


Your favorite style(s)? Um... I have a lot. D8 lol Basically if I watch you I like something in your style. =w=;;;; *just too lazy to list people*


Are you satisfied with your current art? I'm always trying to improve and looks at things. I am satisfied with some things- other things I know I still need to work on.


What kind of artist are you aiming for? I'm currently studying animation at the college i'm going to and hopefully can transfer to another college soon. I'm only going to a jc right now.

Harro, Kibou. c:
I just received the commissions today. Just to add, first off, don't feel bad about sending them late. They were very much worth the wait. Bawr- the chibis were a nice addition. And Xelendia, don't cry~! D8

Anyhow- your pictures are so wonderful. I wish there was a better expression for them. *u* You did a wonderful job. I can't stop staring at them. |D

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Scanners does not give your pretty artworks justice. :< Hopefully I can commission you again in the future~
