For digital artists: what program(s) do you use?
Sketchbook pro and/or Paint Tool Sai, depending on what I'm doing. If I'm taking sketch requests, they're probably done in sketchbook. Storyboards? Usually sketchbook, but sometimes Sai. The majority of my actually coloured artwork? Paint Tool Sai. It blends so nicely and that's why I stick with it.
What inspires you to not just make art, but to be a better artist?
Tough question. It's really something I've enjoyed doing since I was at least three years of age. I can remember back when my drawings were barely coherent that I wanted to animate, or do concept art. Even though sometimes I can barely believe in myself to draw a scribble, I try to remember how I got where I am in the first place. I try not to go into the bowels of my deviantart account (it's almost 9 years old now and I've never deleted anything), but it's not necessarily a bad thing to look where you've come from.
Come so far and still got so far to go.
