What inspires you to draw?

What inspires me to draw..... I'm in an art school currently, but I'm fairing average, coz I'm a jack-of-all-trades, king of none (sadly). You can see that in my gallery; the works are not consistent.

Which artists inspire you most?

I could say that mangas inspire me to draw because i would like to release my imagined stories out, and usually they come in form of characters, and they remind me of the stories I had for them.

Fanfiction also inspires me to draw because I like reading fluff and interaction between two characters that are cute with each other XD i also want to draw out tributes to these stories, but sadly they remained undone (U___U)

My favourite artsts.... of course first will be Nomura, that's who's style I tried to imitate for Leon & Cloud in Atlantica, and he has very stong and fine lines to definite the body structure and features. Plus he created Cloud and Leon!~

Second will be other great artists out there like Wen-M, and Kirihito. i really like their drawing styles and coloring techniques. Shall I add I have a twin sister who is much cooler than me, her DA is blackwing-dias. A loyal Akuroku fan...... and she inspires me to draw, as she can draw very very well than I do (T___T).

What advice do you have for those other artists out there?

My advice to those out there.... continue to practice! We have been drawing since 12, but it's not too late to start late! Drawing school helps a lot, and have drawing circle or clubs really can help you improve a lot! Ask advice, it's okay to ask!

And always draw with reference. I'll always draw with reference for accuracy purposes, and sketching out your ideas when it hits you helpd too!~ You can always keep the sketches as references when you wanna finalize your idea (O_~)*

How long have you been a Leon x Cloud fan?

I've been a Leon and Cloud fan after Kingdom Hearts 2, which is sadly also this year. But I had been a uber Cloud fan since AC (which is also so sad......) And a Leon/Squall fan after Kingdom Hearts!~ *gets bricked* Gomen-nasai minna-san!~ orz}
