Hello, who are you?
I'm sick of working on AP classes, Scholorships, Recomendation forms, Essays, DRWNG-PAINTNG Class ... so, here's a survey that I stole from ~maoisgod, who I don't even talk to anymore. hurhurhur.

Your name?
Melantha

If possible, your age?
17 3/4

When did you start drawing?
I started drawing when I could learn to pick up a crayon. I started seriously drawing when I was in eighth grade.

Which hand do you use for drawing?
Predominant righty.

Which is easier to draw - male or female?
I actually don't prefer one over the other; however, my style seems to suit men.

Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Short hair -- less to draw.

Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Left.

Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
For a human face, I prefer them to be facing upfront, or at least slightly turned.

What do you have problems in drawing?
I'm a very very very very slow artist. I also tend to be a perfectionist. I either pass in work late or I don't pass anything in at all.

What do you like to draw?
I love photo-realistic, black and white, human portraits. Also, I am discovering my love for drawing fruits.

Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
I used to do digital, but traditional artwork is much more powerful for me.

Where do you start drawing from?
I start with general shapes, forms, and impressions; and then I shade a little.

What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I don't trust any art tools. I only prefer to use my mechanical pencil and my finger. That's it.

Any tips for coloring/shading?
If you're shading with a reference, pay attention to subtle details -- that would make all the difference. Also, come to realize that the color red is not just the color red. In red, there are also traces of orange, yellows, and maybe greens.

How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
A full-blown-work-of-art-from-my-heart-and-soul? 20-40 hours.

What music do you listen to while you draw?
Mostly hard or classic rock. Sometimes classical and blues.

How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Most of my thoughts come instantly.

Your favorite drawing utensils?
I like using pencils and charcoal.

Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Black. White. Grey. xD

Your favorite style(s)?
Photo-realism, Semi-realism, and Surrealism.

What kind of artist are you aiming for?
Not sure if I'm going to be an artist for my whole life -- and especially not now. Once I start publishing books, I might be my own illustrator.
