#I discovered CSP is a lot better than PS for animating

LOOK I JUST REALLY ENJOY THEIR FRIENDSHIP OK?? You can't tell me they wouldn't hang after their respective personal quests (spawn ending ofc)/emotional breakdowns over their own mortality

EDIT: I forgot to watermark these so now more than ever PLEASE don't repost

2, 9, 20, and 26 for the artist asks.

Thanks so much for the ask!

2. How long have you been drawing?

For as long as I've existed, probably. I remember drawing so much in school. Like in 4th grade I was drawing dragons all over everything and in middle school I drew anime characters and generally was not very good at it but kept doing it anyways. In high school I took art classes and definitely got a bit better but still not great. Still got a 6 on my IB Art exam though, so I am still rather proud of that! That was back in 2013. I don't think I really started developing as an artist until I was in college. Like I hadn't really drawn anything since high school art classes and then in early 2016 I discovered blorbo and so I got super into drawing again, and got a tablet that summer and was like, all in, and I took drawing classes again in college and it felt great and I learned a lot. Then I graduated college in 2017, had to move back in with my parents, slipped into a deep depression, and didn't pick up my tablet or any kind of drawing utensil until this year, when I saw the Kenobi trailer and I really got the itch again. It was like I awakened. I'm in a much better place in my life now, and have so much creative energy that I have to put out, and I feel like I'm advancing pretty quickly again.

9. How much time do you spend drawing on an average day?

Like 2-3ish hours on a weekday and then like 4-8 hours on a "weekend" day. My weekends are not standard Sat/Sun so a lot of times my husband will be at work all day and I'll draw or crochet during his work shift.

20. What is the easiest thing for you to draw?

Hmmmmm. I like the sketch layer, because it is so free-form and it is really easy to quickly bang out ideas. And your eye naturally connects the messy lines to find the best shape, so they usually look pretty good too. Like that sketch for my WIP yesterday was definitely less than 30 minutes, and most of that would have been refining the face. Subject wise? Probably torsos. But I enjoy facial expressions the most.

26. For digital artists: what program(s) do you use?

Clip Studio Paint mostly. I tried Painter Essentials and didn't love it. I used to use a mix of Photoshop and CSP, but 1) expense of PS obviously, 2) PS kept crashing on me 3) I like the brush tools in CSP. Now, I still think there are some things I prefer about PS. Particularly in regards to filters, textures, clipping masks, transformations, etc.. I think that's where PS really shines. But CSP is still overall a better value and a better program.
