Can you draw something for me for free?
Just so you're informed, most artists don't like it when you ask this. Unless I open up a journal entry for free requests, I will not do one for you. Apologies. My schedule is too busy! Sometimes you can win free drawings through my kiriban or in my fan club too.

How long have you been drawing for?
I always drew when I was younger, only doodles, but I only started to seriously draw and try to improve starting late 2009-early 2010. So a couple of years now.

Can you live stream for me?
I LS whenever I want to - based on my own personal plans

:star:Digital Art

Do you have any tips for digital line art?
I'm not the greatest at digital line art, but I can try to guide you in the right direction!
If you're used to traditional line art, I would recommend starting off with doing works on paper, scanning them (using your own scanner, one at the library, etc.) then using a mouse and the pen tool (in whichever art program you choose) to go over your line art.

If you have a tablet, I would recommend starting off by scanning in your art, then opening the image in your drawing program, making a new layer, lowering it's opacity, then "tracing" the lines with your tablet pen.  Make quick strokes and follow in the direction of movement!
You can get thin line art with the pen tool such as danzzila's line art or thick line art such as ZaraAlfonso!


What type of system do you have? What programs do you use?
I have a windows operating system [Toshiba]- and as for programs - I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 for editing and Paint Tool Sai for drawing.

Other traditional art questions:

How do you scan and edit your traditional works?
I use my scanner to load the picture onto my laptop, then I use an editing program to edit the "levels" of the image (contrast, hue, etc) to make it look appealing. In Photoshop, this command is CTRL  + L   And hue/saturation is CTRL + U.
