Taken from ~killahsese

◆Your name?
Jan(Don't ask) Danielle S. Cruz. nicknames are Dane and Anya, sometimes with other extensions and whatnots.

◆If possible, your age?
14, turning 15 this October!

◆When did you start drawing?
I have no idea. Kindergarten perhaps? But I took it more seriously when I was in third grade, 9 years old.

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
I'm a righty. Me and my dad are the only right-handed peeps in the fam.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Currently, I'm having a better time drawing male characters.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
I draw long hair most of the time, so I guess it's easier for me in a way.

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Hmmm... either way I guess.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Well, most of the time, it depends on certain circumstances. But I don't know why.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
BACKGROUNDS. I can never seem to get it the way I want. And since i don't draw it a lot, I guess shoes? Meh, I still need improvement overall, I guess.

◆What do you like to draw?
People, especially in Portrait form so I can get all the details of the face. I enjoy drawing details very much. Yes indeed.

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Traditional! Though are some benefits with digital work, it's still more satisfying to do traditional works. I mean, in Photoshop or Paintshop, you can undo and stuff, but in traditional, it's harder to undo mistakes. But if it all ends well, we'll be more satisfied. Countering that, I want to be good at Digital work too. I know I'm confusing.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
I usually start drawing the head first, then i go on from there.

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Even though I tell myself to draw more lightly, I still put a lot of pressure on my pencil when drawing.

◆What do you keep in mind when you do lineart?
I keep in mind to keep it as CLEAN as possible.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Like ~killahsese said, use a knetgummi eraser. It's easier to use than a regular plastic eraser, and it's less of a mess. It seriously helps A LOT with pencil drawings. But basically, coloring and shading takes PRACTICE. Believe me, it's true. Also, studying about the light source and where the shadows should fall in a drawing are an added help.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
It depends on my mood. When I'm super inspired, i finish it in a few hours, but within a day. If I'm busy or being lazy, it takes days or a few weeks. If I draw when I'm uninspired, then it goes unfinished.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
I don't really listen to music when I draw. But when I do, it's all up to what my playlist.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
On my own, a time that seems like forever. With inspiration, real quick.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
My Faber Castell Drawing Pencil (lead B), and a Faber Castell Knetgummi eraser. Though I rarely ink my drawings, I also love my Stabilo fine tip marker and my unipin pens.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I really like white and gray. And it so happens, most of my drawing are in those two colors, since I mostly do pencil drawings.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
ANIME/MANGA. I really like the Chibi style too, but I'm no good at it.

◆Are you satisfied with your current art?
Not really. I love my work, but I'm not satisfied because I know there's still lots of room for improvement.

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
Hmm, I have no aims, but being a traditional artist right now is satisfying anough.

◆Thank you.
