Hello! Can I ask, what software do you use? And how did you learn to draw like this! Your artwork is amazing! c:

thank you! i use Paint Tool Sai most of the time with Photoshop CS5 for some additional clean up. and erm, it was a mix of years of doodling, looking at naked people studying anatomy, mashing my favorite artists’ styles together and taking classes?? ( ⊙ з⊙)b

Anonymous asked,

Do you keep a palette beside you as you paint or do you just pick colours as you need them? Your work is so vibrant, and I've been staring at your stuff for the longest time trying to figure out your beautiful painting technique.. C-can you spare some tips? ;-;

OH BOY no i don’t have a palette. i probably really should but i forget a lot so umm. really just try to stay as vibrant as you can. i have this problem where my colors end up going all pastel-y and pale, so i have to keep reminding myself to choose the most neon color and i kind of subconsciously dull it down anyway. then i just color-pick from my existing color vomit on the canvas. also, using the dodge and burn tools or playing around with the saturation levels do help a bit, but don’t go overboard.

a bit of color theory also works wonders. tbh i’m actually not that great at this whole coloring business but heeey hope that helps? 8D?

edit; there’s this other thing i’ve seen going around where you switch on color dynamics for your brush, then just pick a color & draw a streak. it can come up with a pretty interesting palette. i’ve yet to try it out but it looks pretty fun.

Will your commissions be open anytime soon? ; n ;

No, I’m sorry. I’m getting terribly busy so they won’t be open for a couple months. 8(

Anonymous asked,

How do you feel about people's responses to your art? Do you like it when people spazz, or is it a bit annoying?

I appreciate any compliment I get! I don’t mind if people spazz, since I keysmash quite a lot myself haha. (๑´ ᴗ`๑)b

kaytara-art asked,

Your art is beautiful (and I especially love your GO stuff. Don't stop.) Allow me to present you with this sacrifice to express my awe. *slaughters small plant*

I THANK YOU GREATLY, BUT WE SUGGEST YOU DO NOT SACRIFICE SMALL OR LARGE POTTED PLANTS. YOU MAY, HOWEVER, INSTEAD SHAKE YOUR FIST AT THEM MENACINGLY AND WILL THEM TO DO A JIG FOR ME.

edit; actually here’s a bigger picture lol

thank you very much! u w u here are my sai settings. i do play around with the blending & persistence, but it’s usually around here. same with water tool. otherwise umm, i use default on gimp, and i haven’t done much besides lining in photoshop so that’s default too.

Anonymous asked,

Do you do commissions of realistic perople? If so, do you play on any kind of pets sites?

If you mean off photos, then yes, but it’s one of those things I prefer not to do and may charge extra for. On the other hand, I’m more willing to attempt to draw a character off a ref sheet realistically.

Annnd, I play on subeta.net! c:

plippy asked,

that painting you did of joli is gorgeous! I love your sense of color and texture. I just wanted to ask, how long have you been drawing, digitally and/or traditionally?

aww, thank you! according to my imageshack, I think my digital doodles go back to 2006, so I was ten. otherwise, it’s a bit hard to say since I’ve always liked to doodle here and there. I would like to think it all started when I decided to draw on my face in sharpie when I was 3 lol;;
