mmmmmm hullo..... wanted to waste time... so here:
meme thing gangked from bri-chan
01] What is your pen name?
Burnbadart
02] How did you get the name?
I needed a new aim name to replace mccartneyobass. My parents have a poster hanging up on the stairwell that had the words burn your bad art...and so it was born.
03] Do you use PC or Mac?
both i guess. because i use bootcamp on my mac in order to do 3D modeling stuff on alias and solidworks for school... but i prefer Mac over PC anyday!!!
04] What software do you use most often?
PHOTOSHOP CS2!!! and CS3...but only at work because i can't afford to upgrade on my laptop. :/
05] Do you use mouse, or tablet?
My tablet.... oh dear gawd...i couldn't do anything with a mouse.
06] The color you use most often is?
browns, black, indigo and grays...so..all the boring colors.... they're my go tos for sketching, etc. but i'll use a mix of everything depending on what the art ends up being.
07] What area of the pictures do you put most effort into?
I like to go into crazy details with the clothing and pushing the poses and expressions. Probably most effort goes into the outfits (at the moment).
08] How long does it take you do draw a picture?
Depends... sketches can take me like a minute.. but full blown awesome beautiful finished pieces can be anywhere from a day to days/months/forever. mostly because of freetime and also if i'm in the groove... i can bang that thing out in like 4 hours tops...thank you work for pushing my speed and skill level :)
09] Do you keep your rough drafts?
ALWAYS...in layers...or in my sketchbooks. i love my rough sketches. my finished pieces are always very stiff..which is something i'm trying to work on and that i'm getting better with... but i just like to be able to see my process and look back on them.
10] What kind of font do you use most often?
M something...myriad i think... which might make a graphic designer keel over dead...whatev...
11] What's the dpi when you scan?
300 dpi... even if it eats my memory...
12] Do you do anything else when you're drawing pictures?
I'm a multitasker. I'll listen to music, watch tv, take random internet breaks, eat and drink, etc.
13] How many pictures do you draw in a month?
um...a lot....like...for serious... probably in the hundreds... this is if you're taking every freaking doodle i leave everywhere every second of the day... seriously.. i doodle at restaurants, i doodle at work when i'm supposed to be doodling other stuff, i doodle when i'm shopping markers at michael's, i doodle at home, on my friend's paper/notebooks/homework, i doodle on my own homework...on my arms... if you haven't gotten this yet.. I DRAW ALL THE TIME...and on ANY THING.
14] What kind of paper do you draw your pictures on?
is this meme about scanning drawings in mainly? because i love to draw with the wacom as well... i'll just do the undersketch and lineart straight into photoshop. but i draw on just about whatever i get my hands on.... printer paper mostly..which is bad because my sketchbook is so full of loose leaf it's falling apart....i can't draw in sketchbooks.. it's like i freeze up when my paper is in bound form....and i have a soft spot for lined paper and newsprint... so everything bad for sketches.... napkins and post its too.... sheesh....things that would never look good no matter how you present it in your portfolio :/
15] What kind of paper do you use for sketches and drafts?
#14
16] How long does it take to ink something?
I don't really "ink" something.... like lineart?on pencil sketches? not really my thing... i draw with ballpoint a lot though.. and linearting in photoshop takes me a bit....if i want it to look spanking awesome...
17] Do you do doujinshi or original manga?
