How long have you been drawing for? Hmmm. I was 12 when I said to myself I want to be a comic artist and I started to practice drawing comics and human anatomy back then..... so, 15 years. (Oh gosh I feel old)
Are there any particular artists that have inspired you over the years? I said few comic artist before and I would love to continue the list: Lettie_bug on instagram. I have followed her 5 years and I just love her Stasis comic. Her artworks are really pretty.
Did you go to school for art or are you self taught? Would you recommend a formal education? I went to one of the Finland's oldest art school named " The Liminka School of Art" I was two years there and those were really good years. We had really much fun there and I got manu friends there. Plus in small country like finland I got a chance meet amazing comic artists.
