  • what program do you use?

Photoshop CS5, once in a blue moon Paint Tool Sai

  • what brushes/brush settings do you use?

I rotate between custom-made Photoshop pencil brushes, the default “hard round” Photoshop brush with flow set to 20-30%, and a ballpoint pen/pencil.

I’ve seriously been looking everywhere for the source of my custom brushes but it’s probably been buried under piles of deviantart inbox messages!! I’m sorry. If you search for “pencil brush set” on any art site, etc, you’ll probably find something that works just as well.

For inking I just use the default Photoshop brush as well haha. Here’s a hint to keep it sharp and not blurry-gross: check the texture box!

It won’t be as smooth as Paint Tool SAI’s lines or anything, but when you draw as huge as I do anything is possible

  • how huge is that?

Well maybe it’s not THAT huge but usually about 2000-3000 px wide, 300dpi

It comforts me

  • how do I buy your buttons?

They’re not for sale at the moment. I don’t know when I’ll open again but when I do, I’ll announce it here.

  • is this blog connected to your main blog?

Yes, this is one of my sideblogs so you can’t text-reply to any of my posts and I can’t follow people using this blog

  • any advice on how to draw? (general/specific/tutorial)

Seriously, you might be better off asking someone who knows what they’re doing

I’ll just give you the standard ’DRAW FROM LIFE!! OBSERVE!! DRAW ALL THE TIME!!!!’ (which are standard for a reason but I am so.. not capable of teaching anyone anything)

  • are you in art school?

Yes, I just started attending Art Center College of Design.

  • do you do requests?

If you’re polite about it you can drop me a suggestion in my ask box and I might doodle it up if I like it! There is definitely no guarantee I’ll draw a request though. Also I just hoard them unless I draw something so I can look through them when I’m bored (or DID… UNTIL I ACCIDENTALLY CLEARED.. MY WHOLE INBOX….)

  • do you take commissions?

Not at the moment, sorry.

  • how long have you been drawing?

Since I could hold a pencil

  • how can I get a list of tags like yours?

Here is how I do it with my theme, all of them are just manually written out. On some themes you may have to put the links in the “description” box instead.

  • what is Good Omens?

I get asked this a lot for someone who only just read it for the first time over the summer

Good Omens is a novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett about the apocalypse. It’s really funny and I am weirdly obsessed

There’s also supposed to be a miniseries happening sometime in the near future, so… THAT’S EXCITING…..

  • where can I watch BBC Sherlock / Doctor Who / Supernatural?

Sherlock! Doctor Who! Supernatural! All three are on Netflix Instant now too, I believe

  • why didn’t you answer my question??

I wrote out some things about unanswered questions here

Also if you wrote me a really nice message anonymously, sometimes I get… shy? I don’t know, but a lot of the time I like to keep them to myself, especially if it makes me feel a lot of fuzzies because exposing really personal thoughts to several thousand followers makes me nervous. I can’t respond privately to anon asks!!

Otherwise I seriously just probably meant to answer and then forgot and it got buried in my ask box along with other questions

So uh, yeah here’s a tip about me: if I seem to be online and answering a lot of questions, and you sent me something but I suddenly stopped posting or didn’t answer you I HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY SHUT MYSELF DOWN MENTALLY

—-

i think that’s it for now

if i feel like i’m getting more repeat questions i’ll throw some more answers up here!
