Tag You're It

Oh my, I never get tagged to do anything like this! As I really should be getting down working on something and my mind is desperately reaching out for something to distract myself with I shall go ahead and fill it in. Also it might be nice for me to add a bit more life to this journal.

◆Your name?
Rebecca Pugh. Unfortunately. Online, H0ly, which is much better.

◆If possible, your age?
Nineteen. Twentyone next year that means… Oh god I feel old.

◆When did you start drawing?
When I was a child and I scribbled with crayons I imagine. But seriously? I always doodled as a kid but at the age of twleve or so decided I’d never be any good at it, gave up on it and decided to dedicate myself to WRITING. Then at about sixteen I decided to get into comics, and hey ho, back came the drawing again. What a huge amount of time I missed…

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Guys probably. I just have more guy characters so I guess I have more practice. For the longest time I couldn’t draw women at all but now I feel pretty okay at it.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Eh… short I guess. It’s more fun, I don’t know about easier. Then again I don’t draw really long hair often so I wouldn’t know.

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Oh gods, left. I CANNOT draw people facing right, unless it’s supposed to look like a picasso imitation.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
I don’t really like either but head on view is damned near impossible… Which is why when doing head on I like to only show half the face when I can. Remember kids, if you struggle with something, cheat your way around it!

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Oh hell. Anything. People in particular. I suck at poses and faces… Sometimes I’ll feel fine at it but when I’m in a downer and I can’t draw people, I really CAN’T draw people.

◆What do you like to draw?
People. Which is strange as I also hate drawing them. I also love lots of finnicky little details on… anything. I should do more.

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Both I guess… I can do traditional colours but I prefer to do it digital because its less mess, and whilst I definitely prefer to ink traditionally I like to do digital sketching because that way I can make a lot more mistakes without worry.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
Real loose sketch of where everythings gunna be… Head, spine, hands, legs. Or alternatively if it’s an unusual picture, whatever’s the most important part of it.  

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I won’t count the making the expressions of the people I’m drawing because EVERYONE does that it seems. But I have been told and found that when I’m concentrating on something, inking particularly, I do pull a very strange face. I purse my lips together tightly and narrow my eyes. Apparently it’s my Concentration Face. And if anyone disrupts me even in the slightest while I’m doing this I will jump and scream.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Other than what everyone already knows, I will say PAY ATTENTION TO REFLECTED LIGHT! The light from the background that shows up in the shadowy parts of rounded objects! Trust me, it’ll really make your pictures pop.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
A long long time. I’m too perfectionist.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
Anything I can sing to is good. But I mostly like to listen to comedy…

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
They come in a random flash. But I sit on ideas and let them stew and develop for a very long time.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Crappy crappy mechanical pencils. Thirty or so for one pound. They often break on touch but that’s okay as I buy them in bulk. I’m not into expensive equipment.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Purple I guess… I tend to use purple when shading.  

◆Your favorite style(s)?
Ugghhh I like manga (to be predictable...) , and I like cartoony styles (kinda disneyish. Again unoriginal) and I like reaslistic. I should do more realistic.


◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
I don’t wanna be no one trick pony. I want to be someone who can use a variety of styles and not only be restricted to just one. I’d like to someday be… just awesome, I guess, lol. Don’t we all.

*feels lonely on this site* KRAZEH YOU’RE ALL OF THE ABOVE BUT YOU’VE ALREADY FILLED IT IN HECK YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TAGGED ME!

Oh, and, uh… Scott, I guess you might be one or two of them. Maybe. At a pinch. Why don’t you fill it.

Yep, that was a good amount of time spent that I should have used on working…. As chances are high no one will read this anyway… so! *claps hands together* Back to inking!
