Art survey spam
I evidently have nothing better to do, since the internet is being boring. D: I stole this from th3newblack's devart journal. :D Posted here instead because I don't like my devart journal, and I'm pretty sure nobody reads it anyway, so it's just there to have commissiony links. XD Maybe I'll put it there later. Or on y! possibly. I don't expect anybody to be all that interested in it here either, but whatever! :D;
今まで最も描いたと思われるキャラは？（版権創作どちらも）
Who is the character you've drawn the most? (Can be original or fanart)
Ahahaha. Rabi. ♥
何色をよく使いますか？
What colour do you often use?
I guess I lean towards darker colors, when I color things. Of course, since the dgm madness started, it's been a lot of black and white and red. XD;
使うのが苦手な色があれば。
Any colour you are bad at using?
I'm not sure how you can be bad at using a color? I guess lighter colors are harder to work with for some reason. I've never liked yellow.
人物を描く際に、何処から描き始めますか？
When drawing people, where do you start?
The head. Circle-crossthing-eyes-whee!
完成までに一番時間が掛かった作品は？
Which of your works took the longest time?
I really don't pay attention to how long I spend on anything. It really varies, sometimes I can get things out in a day, but sometimes they take forever...I guess offhand I can remember Lulu taking quite some time. Would've been twice as long if I hadn't handed off the inking. XD
絵が上手くなりたい時は、どんな手段を使う？
What techniques do you use when you want to improve in drawing?
I don't know, really. I kind of agree that if you're looking to improve, you should be looking for new ones. I guess I spin through Japanese sites looking for inspiration and sometimes that helps.
自分の得意な画材は？
What art tools/media are you good with?
Pencil and Photoshop...but I'm kind of getting the hang of this Painter thing...the airbrush tool, at least.
苦手な画材は？
Art tools/media you are bad at?
Pen. Marker. Cannot deal with being unable to fix things.
自分の絵に対してどう思う？
What do you think about your own art?
I whine about it a lot, and about how other people are so much better than me, many of them a few years younger, and I know it needs a lot of help, but I also realize there are a ton of people out there that just plain suck, and I'm happy to be far above that level. Haha, I'm such a bitch. XD
雑誌を参考にしたりしますか？
Do you consult magazines for your drawings?
Nah. Don't really own any. Never been a magazine person.
自分の絵で好きな処はありますか？
What do you like about your art?
I like how my boys look like boys. Men, even. I like how the characters I draw look their age and gender, and don't have those huge disturbing eyes that take up half their faces. I like that the proportions are generally believable, and usually don't look awkward.
絵を描く時についしてしまう癖は？
What habits do you have while drawing?
Umm...I'm not sure I have any notable ones.
右向きの顔を描くのは得意ですか？
Are you good at drawing faces facing right?
Umm...you know, they generally face left by default...but I can draw them facing right...wait, my right, or the face's right? D:
どの位の頻度で絵を描きますか？
How frequently do you draw?
It depends. Art ruts happen. Sometimes I draw stuff just about every day, but I can go weeks without turning out anything.
スランプの時の対処は？
What do you do when you have artist's block?
Bitch about it, mostly. Sometimes I just give up and find other things to do. If I can manage to find someone to RP with, that usually helps, but that's kind of hard sometimes.
絵を描く際に必要な物はありますか？
What must you have when you draw?
A pencil and paper. :D Or a tablet and computer. Dur-hur. Well, references are handy if I'm drawing characters I'm not familiar with.
主線は迷い線が多いですか？
Do you have a lot of stray lines (messy lineart)?
My sketches tend to be a little messy, but not too much, I think. I kind of like that about them too, though.
自分にとって絵を描く事は？
What is drawing to you?
It's a way to throw myself into my various fandoms. It's one of the only things I feel I can do reasonably well, enough so that I feel I can charge people to draw things for them.
あなたが影響を受けた絵師さんは？
Artists you've had influence from?
Umm, I'm not sure I notice when I'm influenced by others, but if I had to pick a few, I'd say Kazuya Minekura, Ayami Kojima, Leigh Bader, and judging by the recent subject matter, Hoshino Katsura.
人と動物どちらが書きやすいですか？
Which is easier to draw, humans or animals?
Humans. I should try animals more often, but omg. Not interested enough. :D;
自分の絵のチャームポイントは？
What is the charm-point of your art?
Um...I'm told that it's like a blend of Japanese and American comic art, which I guess is true. I wouldn't want it to go too far in either direction, but I think where it is is just about right.
キャラクターを考える時によく思いつくのは女？男？性別無し？
When thinking of characters is it mostly female? male? or androgynous/no sex?
Ahaha...yeah, male. Very much so.
昨日は何の絵を描きましたか。
What did you draw yesterday?
Porn. Okay, technically, I'd drawn it the day before and only colored it yesterday. But I did finish it.
一番描くのが楽しい部位はどこですか
What is the funnest part to draw?
Umm...Yeah, I like hair. It varies between characters though, I think.
他人の絵で一番最初に見てしまうところはどこですか？
What part of other people's drawings do you notice first?
The style, I think.
背景を描く際に、つけげ道にしてしまう書きやすいものってなんですか？
Regarding backgrounds, what is your method of making it easier to draw?
Don't do it. :D Ahahaha, um, I mean. References are definitely necessary for me, otherwise the foreground won't sit well in it, and it'll just make the whole thing look bad. My two most successful backgrounds involved a lot of cut and paste in Illustrator.
好きな配色は何ですか？
What colour coordinations do you like?
...You know, the black and white and red has kind of grown on me. But I also like blues and earthtones. There are any number of combinations that might appeal to me, really, it just depends on the picture.
一番最近描いたキャラは？
What character did you last draw?
...yeah, it was Rabi.
絵柄は変わりやすいですか？
Does your style change easily?
Not really. If it changes, it does so over a long period of time, I think. I'd use the word "evolve" as well.
描くときに気をつけている、気合を入れる部分はどこですか？
What part of drawing do you pay most attention to?
Anatomy, I think. Faces and expressions, as well.
How do you feel about drawing H pictures?
Remember when I said what I drew yesterday was porn? Yyyeah. :D;
人に絵を評論されるのは好きですか？
Do you like criticism from others?
As long as they're not too harsh about it. But I find mostly people are too lazy to comment at all, or if they do, it's something that says nothing at all other than they like it. Which I do appreciate as well.
How many people do you normally draw per artwork?
Usually one or two. Showing character interaction is nice though.
子供の時は絵師や漫画家になる夢がありますか？あるなら、今この夢をまだもっていますか？」
When you were a kid did you think of become illustrator/comic artist/etc? If you did, do you still hold that dream now?
I don't remember. I did draw a lot back then, though. Even when I was still living in California I was drawing fanart of like, Minnie Mouse, and I went through a Little Mermaid phase when that came out. So, yeah, I've always been doing this.
omg today has been so lame, seriously. I've spent all of it sitting around wishing I was talking to people while staring at this stupid AA stuff. I think I've got the forms taken care of, I put Tracie and Kyle down as sharing the table, but I'm pretty sure if I found more people to share with, they'd let me stick them in as long as there was enough notice. I'm kind of afraid they're starting to get stricter about a lot of things, which makes me sad because one of the things I loved about working a table last year was how relaxed it was, as compared to, oh, AN? But right. I think I should be looking into dinner or something instead of spamming my journal. Boy, you people must be sick of me by now. :D; I need to find other things to do, seriously.
