I love your art so much! <3 Would love to find out more about your process so 21/22 please!

21. for digital art, what programs do you use?

i switched from windows to ubuntu about 3 years ago and i've been using krita ever since, primarily because it's the only photoshop-like art program that works out of the box. (pretty much every other art program i used in the past requires a lot of jumping through hoops to make it work and i'm not about that life.) it's similar enough to everything else i've used for digital art before that it was easy to make the switch and i'm happy enough with the default brushes that i don't need or want to go looking for custom ones.

(i really want to try out clip studio though, i've heard and seen a lot of good things about it, but unfortunately... jumping through hoops. not about that life.)

22. for traditional art, what mediums do you like most?

i want to say mixed media because it's what i do the most, but watercolor is my actual favorite even though it bullies me mercilessly all the time. pencils and inks are also fun and i've also messed around a bit with oil paints when i was little (with adult supervision, of course!) but what i'm looking for in traditional media is anything that lets me put in details. ....... or, well, really anything that lets me draw small because i have no idea what to do with any drawing surface bigger than an a3 size.

more recently i've been obsessed with markers but that shit's expensive as hell and i can't afford to fuck around and find out, which is the way i usually learn new things.

artist asks!

#askbox meme

Hey, your work is really excellent. It kills me that you're only asking $5 for commissions. Even just a sketch is easily worth 10x that, maybe more. Plus, not only are you selling yourself short, you're undercutting other artists who are trying to make their only living with their art. Charge what your work is worth. If you want to make art for people who can't afford it, work in trade. Your sketch for their fic or poem or whatever. Please. This is worth so much more.

i am well aware that i could charge more and be justified in doing so, but what my art is really worth money-wise has nothing to do with how experienced i am with doing commissions. that's what the low price is for: i'm learning how to do commissions properly. some artists dive straight into it and they're doing fine; i tried that and i was miserable. i've done a couple of $100+ commissions last year and i was stressed out of my mind the whole time. what if it's not good enough, what if they think it takes too long? because i was too stressed out to draw some days but *not drawing* made me stress out even more.

so yeah. the $5 price tag is my training wheels. it's money coming my way so it's making me actually sit down and draw because i have an obligation to do it, but it's a low enough price that i'm not losing sleep over whether my art is good enough or whether i'm taking too long to draw the thing.
