This month has been busier than usual, and I will likely be making the exclusive post around the end of it

BUT! In the meantime let’s do some Q&A! Ask away! Art related, character related, general questions about life that I’ll try to answer to the best of my abilities.

What started your love of Vampires?

Trying to think that far back I would say it was definitely The Vampire Chronicles. That love only growing the more of the media I consumed. I did play VTM bloodline yeeeears ago too

What tips would you give for young artists that want to draw similar to your art style? Wishing you all the best and Merry Christmas 💜

1) would you ever put out speedpaints or video tutorials? 2) do you have pets?

It’s unlikely. My process is slow, with a lot of pauses in between, and I’m uncomfortable with feeling watched while drawing. Written tutorials with step, and step-gifs are more my speed.

Thank you! Same to you 💜 Personally I don’t find my style all that unique, it’s building up while painting, kinda like oil painting. When I make a mistake instead of erasing I usually just paint over it to fix it. A study can be helpful so you could try doing studies of artists you like (myself included), because that closer look at something makes you understand it more with trial and error. Another thing is to avoid gray/black as a way of painting shadows, most of my shadows are just darker tones of the color so that way you don’t muddy it out. I also use light blues to do reflective cool lights in shadow areas.

That was so helpful as tip. Thank you so much and keep being an amazing artist 💜
