faq

How long have you been drawing for?
Wow, well basically my whole life, since I was little I have been facinated. I mostly just drew animals and dragons and that is still what I mainly draw. xD However I have only been drawing digitally for the past 3 years! :)

What program do you use?
I use Photoshop CS3, and that is pretty much all I use. xD I envy those who can use MS paint.

Do you draw by mouse or tablet?
I started off drawing with a mouse in MS Paint when I first began. I rarely use a mouse anymore because I don't have a computer anymore but a laptop, and it is almost impossible to draw with a touch pad. xD So I use a tablet instead.

What Art Tablet do you use?
If you are thinking about buying a tablet, please understand that it will not help you draw better, it will simply help you draw better on the computer. To make sure I was making a good investment, I started off with a very cheap tablet (called Trust) for £20. (I'm not sure how much that is in dollars.) It was very cheap and small and nasty but iot was great because got me used to the concept of using an art tablet. There is nothing worse then paying a huge amount of money for something you don't understand how to use! After a few months I decided to upgrade and bought a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet for nearly £300 nearly 2 years ago. I have had it ever since and has been the best investment I have ever made! :D

How do I learn to draw?
This is a very difficult and complex question to answer. You will find that almost ever single artist will say practice, and that is most definately true. Practice, practice, practice. It's the only way to allow your skills to grow. Draw/sketch everyday and you will find improvement, you'll find eventually things start to get easier. Don't give up! The best thing to do is to pick one particular animal/object and to keep drawing it over and over until you are confident with drawing it without problems. And use references! References are key to learn from so use them! :) They will help. And never trace. Tracing will not help you! Hmm that is all the advice I can give, I'm sorry! xD

Do you have any more questions/comments you'd like to add?
Then please, do not hesitate to mail me, I won't bite! c: In fact any mails with any questions or anything really, I'd highly appreciate!
