Frequently Asked Questions

If you got a specific question that is not answered by this FAQ, please don't hesitate to ask.Q: How long have you been doing art?A: From the moment I was able to hold a writing utensil, I have been doing art all my life.Q: How long does it take to complete a piece of art from start to finish?A: Depending on what the piece is like say a Full Piece or a Sketchy Piece; Digital or Traditional, it can take from a few hours to days if not weeks. I use to rush my pieces but now I want to take my time and enjoy the work I'm creating.Q: Were you self-taught?A: Define Self-Taught. Being self-taught means you have no outside sources of being taught other than from your own knowledge or knowledge you pursue or without some type of formal training. I like to say I'm self-taught but no one is FULLY self-taught. Most of my knowledge is self-taught but I did have art classes growing up from public schooling; and I did go to college to major in Graphic Arts and Gaming Design though I didn't get passed my basic's in College due to being forced right back into them when I was suppose to have different classes at that time. I can say I really didn't learn much more than what I learned in public schooling. Do I think you need to go to college to be successful? Absolutely not.Q: What's the best advice you got for your art & what advice would you give to those that are just starting or already into their art journey?A: Art is defined by its beholder. What may be truly beautiful to me may not be to you such as a simple or abstractly drawn piece. What we need to remember is that we are all work-in-progresses and some do better faster and younger than others. We are all our own worst critics. The most I can say is try not to compare yourself to others and I know it can be really difficult to not too--because I do it too--but focus on improving your skills and your process; and you will go far.Q: What work do you most enjoying doing?A: Usually drawing females due to them having more curves than males, however, the past several years I have been focusing on drawing the male anatomy too so that I am versed well in both anatomies. Portrait styled pieces were my normal throughout my life however getting into College they were trying to force me to drawing fuller bodies and backgrounds and the like which I was very uncomfortable drawing. Now I'm still trying to untrain my brain from that mindset that was being forced upon me. It's been several years and I am still struggling with it.Q: Why art?A: Art has always been an outlet for me. It helps me with my emotions and allow me to process the issues I'm going through in my life. I am glad to have my art to help me in those times because something beautiful can come out of my emotions.Q: What is an artistic outlook on life?A: Seeing the beauty in everything and being thankful for what you have in life. Some people don't get a lot of opportunities and others it seems like they are being handed everything. Taking a step back and looking from the outside in can give you perspective in life.Q: What do you dislike about the art world?A: With the art world my problem lies within people who do not think art is a job or that our time isn't worth that much or even the people who don't have an open mind to everyone's art just because of how it looks. DO. NOT. JUDGE. A. BOOK. BY. ITS. COVER. Open your third eye and take in the charm and beauty of everyone's work. You'll be surprised how much you like a piece for certain aspects you didn't realize it.Q: What do you use? Traditionally & Digitally.A: Traditionally, I prefer Graphite Pencils and Charcoal with Sketch or Office Printer Paper; however, I am working on Watercolors, Gouache and Inks with Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper as I enjoy other artists' pieces that come out with these mediums. I still have a long way to go in getting better with these mediums. Digitally, I use Clip Studio Paint and my UGEE 1910b Drawing Tablet. I use to use Photoshop Creative Studio 6 and Paint Tool Sai but paying for a program monthly was a bit too much money out of my pocket. Clip Studio Paint is a great one-time payment program that you get free updates too and its a great alternative to Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai. I am so happy other artist friends recommended me this program and the transition from Photoshop to Clip was fairly easy just had to retrain my fingers on hitting the right hotkeys.
