F.A.Q

Q: Hi?

A: well hello!
---

Q: will you draw something for me?

A: I am a bit busy with work and drawing, so if you want me to draw something a comission is the best way to go.
---

Q: Do you take commissions then?

A: I do right now! you can look at the prizelist here [link]
---

Q: so...art trades?

A: no, or well, sometimes I ask about it, but naah, I prefer not too.
---

Q: okeeeey...so what materials do you use?

A: mostly markers, I prefer to work traditonally!
---

Q: what markers then?

A: I mix with Promarkers, Copic markers, Copic ciao markers and Prisma markers! Sometimes I even use touch markers!
---
Q: What paper do you use your markers on?

A: the cheapest copy paper I can find ATM ;) seriously, I'm not picky about what paper I use, as long as you know how your markers work on the paper you're using everything should work nicely!
---

Q: your scanner then? it must be MAGICAL!

A:my scanner actually ruins my drawings quite a lot, so s with almost everyone working traditionally, I try to use PS to fix the colors that got lost during the scanning.
---

Q: ...okay, can you do a tutorial to show how you work with your markers?

A: uhhhm, I have a hard time doing that, since I can't scan the steps in between because the most important stuff with markers is that you work fast! But someday, if I can get my friend to take some pics while I work, I may do something like it...or more of a "hey look this is how I do it!" thingy as I suck at doing tutorials XD
---

Q: HOW THE HELL DO YOU DRAW THEN?!

A: (I get this question a lot acutally ._.) I don't think my style is complicated or anything, just look beyond the patterns and stuff and you should see how sipmle it is 8D
---

Q: can you visit my gallery?

A: if I have the time for the moment I can, I don't want to promise anything though.
---

Q: can you draw -insert certain famous character here-?

A: well questions like that should go to my fanart-account, ~Smotth though I don't really take such requests often, I don't like to draw fanart that much to begin with.
---

Q: Are you inspired by Tim Burton, your art reminds me of his movies?

A: I'll probably get killed for writing this, but now, I don't even like his movies. Yes, that includes NBC as it's one of the most boring movies I've ever seen in my whole life. So no,, he's gotten a pretty cool style, but it's never been an inspiration for me.
---

Q: Are you inspired by Scott Pilgrim then, your style reminds me of it?

A: ok, Scott Pilgrim have an awesome style, but no, I've never even read more then one chapter to begin with. So it may have influenced me in some way? I don't know really, I haven't noticed it myself at least O.o
---

Q: Are you inspired by PaSwG then?

A: watched it, loved it, so yeah, I guess it influensed me? mostly just with how they colored the eyes though.

my hands again that is, auuugh sorry for going on and on about it but I get so many questions and writing hurts my hand so I prefer to just write it all down so that everyone can read it, so there will be some questions I get a lot here:

-what happened with them?
(this one goes for newer watchers I guess) I got carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS) in both of my hands, it started in my right hand (my dominant one) and then it happened to my left hand as well.
I have written a longer journal about this ( [link] ), anyone who's an artist should know about it and the pain that comes with it and try to avoid it as well as they can if you ask me.

-how are your hands doing after the treatment?
I'm not gonna lie, they aren't perfect or anything like they used to be.
...or well, my left hand is pretty good but my right hand probably won't go back to it's old self again.
Pretty sad but I have cried enough tears over this and accepted it so it's just how life is now.
I am also pretty much done with the treatment after several months of it, so I have said myself to the one treating me that we aren't making any progress anymore.

why don't you operate them?
because of several reasons:
1. there is a chance that it won't help at all and I prefer not to go through with something that might be compleatly useless and leave me without work for over a month.
2. there is also the risk that it might turn out WORSE, I have my mother as a living example for that one.
3. Even IF they get better there is still a very big chance that it will go back as how it was before.

So as I said, I prefer to not go through with something like that, if I can avoid an operation I will.

why did you start using your left hand?
Only because of the fact that I got fricking depressed over the fact that I couldn't do the thing I love to do.
At first I kind of did it as a joke that I was so horrible at it, but after really sitting down, taking mt time with it I noticed that the result wasn't all that bad after all, so I continued with it.
And yes I haven't ever known about that before this happened, I have never felt the urge to draw something with my left hand while my right hand was working just fine.

and now you are ambidextrous?
That could be discussed, if you look closely the lines are shaky and not nearly as stable as they would be with my right hand, coloring is almost impossible and I can't handle digital art at ALL with it.
But sketching is not a problem at all and the majority of all the art I do upload here nowadays is sketched with my left hand.
...Not that I have uploaded all that much since this all happened but you get my point I guess.
So you can say that scetching (and writing) is pretty much mastered
lines is hard but I do my best
and coloring ain't anything near what my right hand can do.
So yeah see it as you will, I kinda see myself as ambidextrous but I still have a lot to learn before I can fully say that I am.

Sooo that's all I can think about atm, now my right hand hurts after all that writing...xD¨
So yeah, sorry about me not answering barely ANYTHING atm but you have the reasons here.

so Homestuck still won't leave my mind and I totally can't draw anything else ATM *fail* Do you mind some more HS-drawings or should I keep them on tumblr?

I'm a pretty lazy artist who just sometimes take the time to draw awkwardly detailed drawings :)

I work as a cleaning lady and as a daycare lady, so I only have a limited time to draw things, therefor I don't take requests neither do I do arttrades.

I've always been amazed at how smooth you make your colors,
it looks just like it's been done digitally.
Is it possible to ever look forward to a marker tutorial from you in the future?
