Anyways, here's Icefoxchan's birthday WIP. (It's supposed to be Rumeidia...)

I actually finished the line art and have almost all the base colors colored in...
Real size is approx. 3000 pixels x 4000 pixels. Dx

You've got me runnin', You've got me searchin'...

Mood: Noooormal! :D
Currently working on: Royy~~

Just so you know, I don't put sketches in the "recently added" portion of my posts.
Anyways.
It was a normal day. -3-
Yay.
Huh... It's becoming a habit of mine to make the titles of my posts lines of songs I know... I have Sweet Talkin Woman by ELO in my head, so... >_>
If you don't know the song, listen to it.
Even if you hate 80s music. D:<
NOW.
Because I love ELO. xD
OH.
And The Cars. I like them too. :d
Boo-yah.
That's all folks! 8D

Art thing...

I got this from Yosei's deviantart account. x3
I copied and pasted it from deviantart. 8D woot.

★Your name?
Real: Akioh
Deviant: xmoonlitxdreamx

★When did you start drawing?
Technically, pre-school. When I first REALLY tried, 3rd grade.

★Which hand do you use for drawing?
Righty. :d

★Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Depends, sometimes... Something between curvy men and un-curvy women. (*cough*MARTH*cough)

★Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Depends again. :d It's easier to color short hair, but long hair is fun to draw. (If it's not curly.)

★Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Depends on my mood.... or how many people there are in the picture. If there's two, one usually faces left and one usually faces right. If there's 3, and two are facing left, then the third person is ALMOST DEFINATELY facing right. (I dunno, I like it to be even. x3)

★Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front. Ew, side views look like bleh.

★What do you have problems in drawing?
Anything that isn't human, for starters. Then there's weird poses, hair, wrinkles on clothing, clothing outfits, strange hand positions, feet, ears, proportions.....

★What do you like to draw?
Humans. They're all I can draw.

★Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I have more experience with traditional stuff, but I'm trying out digital. The thing I need to most work on for digital art is working with a big canvas. Dx Ew... 3000x3000 pixels = ANNOYING.

★Where do you start drawing from?
Thuh head.

★What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Make stupid faces while I draw. Oh, yeah, and I talk to the drawings. Usually it's just whatever part of the body I'm drawing, like the hand for example. I'll say something like: "*draws hand*...ew. Stupid.... mrfrmfmrmfm... ugly buttface...."

★What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
Uhm... the light source...
But I didn't really think about anything during the lineart before a few months ago. x3

★Any tips for coloring/shading?
Just because someone SEEMS like they know what they're doing for shading, they probably have NO idea what they're doing.
So.
Go crazy, the shading doesn't always need to make sense if you're a beginner.

★How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
I HAVE no idea. I never time mysel. Dx

★What music do you listen to while you draw?
...nothing... usually. Just the background.... In school, people talk a lot, so I listen to that, I suppose...

★How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
I dunno, I don't really come up with ideas. I usually think of what to draw when I'm trying to sleep, or if I'm half asleep. Or when I'm talking to my friends, and they say something random. And then POOF, it just comes to me. x3

★Your favorite drawing utensils?
Mechanical pencil, erasers, pens, colored pencils.

★Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
MAHOGANY. :d

★Your favorite style(s)?
Um. I have no idea. Anime-y? Manga-esque?

★Are you satisfied with your current art?
At the moment. :d

★What kind of artist are you aimimg for?
Manga-esque, I'd say.... though my style is kinda too Americanized or something. Dx

Um.
you all can do this if you want, I'm not tagging anyone and stuff.
