"For how long have you been drawing? / Can you teach me how to draw?"

I have been drawing since 2007 (Age 9) and I began to take it more seriously when I turned 12, being mainly self-taught. However, I cannot teach anyone how to draw simply because what works for me might not work for someone else, and I've found throughout the years that my "just draw things you like and don't think too much about it" approach doesn't exactly resonate with people xD

I do have some loose ideas I try to stick to, but as I mentioned, they are what work for me personally. Whether this is good advice or just nonsense, I'll leave it up to you, dear reader :) Even I have to remind myself of these things sometimes...

• Accept and embrace the fact that you'll dislike your art a lot of the time.
• Don't throw away your old drawings, they are a reminder of your progress.
• Your art style is something that evolves naturally with you, you don't have to force it or worry that you "don't have a style". Trust me, you do. The more you draw, the more fleshed out it becomes.
• Don't forget to still draw things you enjoy. If you spend all your time doing nothing but just practice pictures and turning art into a chore, it might get harder to find enjoyment in it :(
• Remember that what might work for some people might not work for you. Especially reading this haha.
• Everyone's progress is different, I mean, I've been drawing for 16 years and I still can't figure out how to make shading look good, maybe I'll learn it eventually, or maybe I won't. I decided my art style doesn't need shading so that's my life now.
• Your art doesn't have to be perfect. Learning to stop at a "Good enough" is a life (And time!) saver!

"What program do you use for your art?"

Paint Tool SAI 2 is my main program for everything. Occasionally I use Clip Studio Paint if I need to use effect brushes or create gradient maps, but most of my drawing process is done on SAI.
I do have a tendency to draw on very small canvases so I usually also use Waifu2x to scale my art if needed :)

For my Pixel Art I still primarily use SAI (Yeah I know, everyone tells me it's weird, don't @ me lol) but I also use Aseprite for animation!

"What drawing tablet to do you use?"

I use a Huion GT-220 V2, I've had it since 2018 and it's worked very nicely so far!

"Can I repost your art to my Instagram/Facebook Group/Fanpage?"

No. I used to allow this, but the reposts got so out of control that I no longer allow it. The amount of disrespect I got from the people who ran those pages just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I do not respect the concept of those repost pages and I don't wish to contribute to it.

I DO allow the use my art as personal profile pictures, banners, etc provided that credit is given to my account @ NE0Nbandit.

"Can I use your art in my video/Twitch stream?"

I'd very much prefer if I was asked first. It depends on the artwork, but if it's my Fan Art pieces then yes AS LONG AS YOU CREDIT ME IN THE DESCRIPTION, with my username @NE0Nbandit and a link to my social media (Preferably Twitter).

If it's my original pieces, whether featuring my Original characters or other kinds of original artwork, then I'd prefer to know the context in which they're getting used before deciding whether I approve of the use or not.

"Can I draw your characters?"

Y E S, if you do, I will love you forever! I've been collecting Gift Art for over a decade, I want to see it! :D
I really appreciate people taking the time to draw my characters, it means a lot!

"Are you a Furry? What's with the raccoon fursona?"

I get asked this a lot and I honestly never know the answer LOL
I think Furries are super cool people!! Though personally, I just like the designs of anthro animals and I love raccoons! :)
It's hard to call myself a Furry since I don't exactly associate with the culture and most of my characters are humanoid in some form but rarely full anthro animals with the exception of my sona.
I guess I feel like some sort of impostor by using the term on myself?? I have fantasized about getting a fursuit head ngl maybe a tail too?

So my answer would be "*Gestures vaguely* ????? I guess??? What are the requirements?"

Edit - Nah, I'm done overthinking it. Yeah I'm a furry, they're one of the nicest and most creative communities I've met and there's no reason for me to feel ashamed of it only because some people will make less than pleasant assumptions about them :)

"What are Drimare?"

The Drimare are my own original species, originally inspired by the Nightmaren from NiGHTS into Dreams. They are Dream Elves who live in a world that exists within the dreams of humans.

"Can I make a Drimare OC?"

100% YES, I want to see them and I will infodump on you if you want any guidelines, but will not gatekeep them either! I do want to eventually get some sort of franchise situation going, but in the context of Drimare Universe fan characters, I'm all up for it!
