100 Questions for Artist

November 27, 2025

Created a questionnaire for the funsies, you can get the blank here. I tried my best to keep the questions art related and not drawing related, if you catch my drift.

1. Introduce yourself! What kind of art do you make?: Henlo I'm Stupied! I make quite a lot of art but I'm generally know for my cartoons with an artstyle that is vaguely reminiscent of 2018 animation memes. You can find the rest of my art here!
2. How long have you been making art?: Since forever. I honestly cannot recall a time I was never not been drawing. Art has always played an important role in my life and I genuinely don't know what I'd be doing without it.
3. How many hours do you spend for each piece?: As a chronic doodler, I am always sketching about something within 5-10 minuets. But polished illustrations take me about a 3-5 hours to finish. Depending on how annoyed I am with the drawing.
4. Do you prefer taking your time or do you like to quickly move on to the next thing?: I try not to dwell on a piece for too long so that things can get done and over with. Disliking a piece usually means there is something fundamentally wrong with it and it's better for my sanity to finish it and move on to the next thing.
5. When do you decide a piece is finished?: When I get tired of looking at it.
6. What part of the creation process do you enjoy the most?: Sketching! It's a fundamental aspect that is often overlooked. I've always been envious of people who can sketch with so much confidence. Wether it be freehand perspective or gestural studies. One day I'll be the sketcher of all time..!
7. What part of the creation process do you dislike the most?: This may come to a surprise to some, but coloring. It's an aspect that really makes or breaks and illustration and I dread it every time.
8. Do you have a designated workstation or do you just work wherever?: My laptop and drawing tablet is always docked on my desk but I usually end up coding when I'm home. Most of my art is made when I'm outside, looking for some time to kill.
9. Do you monetize you work or is it purely a hobby?: Getting money from what you love is sounds awesome! But the pressure to improve and market yourself is just to heavy of price to pay. I am contented with it staying as a hobby.
10. Where do you share your work? On social media or a personal websites? Do you keep to yourself and close friends?: This website is the first place my work gets uploaded on. On days I don't feel lazy, I would upload it to my Instagram, Reddit, and selected Discord Servers.
11. What's an aspect of your art you enjoy?: Being able look back at them and use them as a medium to ramble about my OCs.
12. What are things you would like to improve on?: Want my art be less stiff and more flowy, you know? Yeah, you know.
13. Are you self-taught or had formal education?: Do MAPEH classes count?
14. Do you research about old techniques or stick to newer ones?: Love learning about older techniques but never actually apply them. Dislike how most modern art tutorials are "do this one visual trick to get good quickly" than actually learning the fundaments.
15. What do you value more, experimentation or mastery?: Experimentation is only really interesting when there was prior mastery. Which is why I strongly believe people should learn to draw from life before caring about stylization.
16. Do you practice drawing from the wrist? What other art techniques to you practice?: Only recently has it been something I actively try to do. Used to sketch on tiny A6 notebooks (like half of a half short bondpaper) and bad habits die hard.
17. How frequently do you do studies?: Only when I'm outside and bored.
18. Do you understand color theory? How'd you learn or do you want to?: No. Recently been enthralled by Mary Blair's work though. Would love to achieve the boldest of work one day.
19. Favorite color(s)?: Red, yellow, and light blue. The absolute classics :]
20. Are there colors you avoid? Do you think ugly colors exists?: Generally avoid obnoxious shades of purple. Can only tolerate darker shades of it.
21. Can you do perspective?: Gaslit myself into believing that I can.
22. Do you like doing lineart? How do you go about it?: At the moment, I only enjoy doing lineart traditionally. Yet to find a digital brush that has the same charm of working with a cheap ass ball point pens.
23. Do you have multiple unfinished projects? Will you ever get to finishing them?: Haha.. ha... ha..
24. How do you start a new piece? Do you have a plan or just figure it along the way?: Usually do a few thumbnails to nail down some decent framing. Annoyingly, I sometimes end up liking the thumbnail more than the actual sketch.
25. How do you handle art block?: I suffer the opposite actually. Having too many ideas and not being able to execute them in one sitting.
26. Do you listen to music or watch something while working?: Only when I color. While sketching, I need my full focus and having something play in the background is far too distracting.
27. When are you most motivated to create? In the morning or evening? Rainy or sunny?: Apparently when I have lots of school work.
28. Are your sketchbooks messy or aesthetically pleasing?: Sketchbooks have always been really important to me. Not for their bragging potential but because how it gives me an excuse to let my mind drift. Allowing me to take everything around me and enjoy them as is. Looking back on an old pieces, I can remember what circumstances I was and who I was with. So being 'aesthetically' pleasing really isn't as big as a priority as putting down what I see.
29. Do you like showing sketchbooks to others?: There this old comic I made back then, that I cannot find anymore. It was basically one of my OCs ree-ing at someone asking to see her sketchbook. That feeling has never quite left me.
30. Do you have any art friends? IRL or online?: Despite my social ineptitude, yes. I am forever grateful for them.
31. Do you collaborate frequently with your friends? Is there something you'd like to work on together?: On the rare occasions we meet up, we'll doodle something in each other sketchbooks. You've probably encountered some of them.
32. Have you created art to gift to others? How do feel about parting away from your work?: The only things that come to mind are sketchbooks I bounded for my friends and that one crochet cat I made for my younger sister.
33. Have you drawn for someone else? Like commissions or requests? Did you enjoy it?: I've done a handful of commissions in the past. In retrospect they weren't that good but thank you to the people who did anyways.
34. How's your posture?: *bends back by 1 degree*
*the loudest crack*

It's alright. Could be worst.
35. Have you ever been injured making art?: Once made a really deep cut on my finger. It is probably the worst place to get a cut because you need your hand for literally everything. My dad offer me his paper cutter once but I felt really uncomfortable about owning what is essentially a mini guillotine.
36. What's a medium of art you've wanted to try / currently attempting?: I absolutely adore animation but just don't have the patience for it. I want things to look good now!
37. Do you prefer stylized or realistic art?: I have a strong preference for stylized art. Especially ones that flow nicely in arcs. Probably why I'm so fascinated with animated dance numbers.
38. Do you like hyper-realistic art?: No. Although there is skill required to achieve it, it's just something I can't bring myself to care enough for.
39. Do you like abstract art?: They're good background noise.
40. How do you feel about fine art?: The backstories artist will make up for the sake of selling their work is really funny to me. Like no fucking way you were thinking all that when you made this.
41. How do you feel about outsider art? Do you think you fall in that category?: They're art made purely for the sake of making art and I find them incredibly endearing. My art definitely does not fall under it - I've seen too much.
42. Do you follow art trends?: No.
43. Do you think you art is influenced by what's currently popular?: Not consciously.
44. Do you compare yourself with others? Does it affect you negatively?: Seeing others art always motivates me to make more of my own!!
45. Your controversial art take?: Anime is weird looking and it isn't normies fault for thinking they're for kids.
46. Art related pet peeves?: Adding too much artificial static and noise. There is something wrong going on if you art needs a hundred filters to look interesting.
47. Who or what are your inspirations?: Lavendertowne and Scott Pilgrim definitely effect me artstyle wise. Also no I will not shut up about LiteralHat because I really admire the versatility of their work.
48. What's an art piece / artist you wished got more attention?: I know it was a difficult time for them but late 1940s-1950s Disney animation is so pretty.
49. Have you touch grass recently? Do you go out frequently or do you spend most of your time indoors?: Due to the amount of natural disasters and bad timing, been spending a lot of time indoors lately.
50. Do you create art daily?: I try my absolute darndest to.
51. Do you take breaks from creating? How frequently?: Too many.
52. Do you set deadline for your work?: No, because they're never achieved and just make me sad.

55. Do you seek out for criticism? How do you handle feedback?: Used to, but realize majority of the people that critic art in the internet aren't that knowledgable.
56. Are you harsh on your own work? Or do you love your work despite all it's flaws?: Stopped putting down my own work because it literally benefits no one.
57. Do you get compliments frequently? How do feel about them?: Responding to compliments makes me really anxious for [ Insert lengthy psychological reasons ] but know that I appreciate them!
58. How do feel about the rise of generative AI? Do you use it for getting ideas or references?: Despise how intrusive it is. It's why I've minimize my social media usage.
59. How do feel about tracing? What about tracing 3d models to streamline art process?: Personally, I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's just the end results are always really stif really unimpressive. Having geometrical accurate art does not equate to appealing art.
60. Drop you art resources!: Literally have none I can think of right now </3
61. Do you prefer making fanart or original content?: Prefer making OC art but I'm not above making fanart here and there!
62. Do you think original content are more creative than fanart?: No. Fanart still requires some kind of deconstruction and creativity to get right.
63. Do you strive for originality?: It's a waste of time to. There isn't a single art concept that hasn't been conceived and executed by someone else.
64. Do you draw from imagination or heavily rely on references?: Since I mostly draw cartoons, I can get away with really questionable abstraction. But I try to look up references when I have the time.

69. Favorite aesthetic?: Whatever the hell you call this thing
70. Do you have a muse or a theme you fall back to?: When all else fails, I just doodle Psyche.
71. If you could eat you art, what would it taste like?: Sweet and sour pork.
72. If your work suddenly became sentient, would it adore or hate you?: All of them are angry and spiteful. So yeah, they'd most likely hate my guts.
73. Based on previous question, can you win in a fist fight against it?: No.
74. Is your art style consistent? Do you prefer making a wide variety of art?: Just use whatever artstyle my whims takes me but my resistance to change often brings me back to the same shit I've been drawing a decade ago.
75. Do you revisit old concepts or sketches? Do you touch em up or leave them as is?: Sometimes I consider redoing certain pieces, but my laziness get the best of me.

80. Do you participate in art conventions? Do you sell your work or support everyone else?: No, because most of the art conventions here are anime related. The only anime related things I care about is pokemon and puyo. They never have the latter nor do they make art of my favorite mons :(

82. Do you organize you supplies and tools systematically?: The paint and pin maker is behind my rooms door, the pin shells and miscellaneous objects is inside the broken cabinet, and all my papers and yarn underneath the bed. So, no.
83. Do you clean up after a project? Or do you just leave everything lying around till you need the space?: My desk is too small for anything so I have to clean up almost immediately. Also having a messy room fucks over my already awful attention span.
84. Do you have a ritual before you start creating? Do you have a drink or some snacks?: Sigh.
85. How do feel about censorship in art? Where do you draw the line for inappropriate art?: I don't think there's truly inappropriate art. Just really inappropriate places to put it. The problem is the internet has made it really difficult to define those boundaries.
86. Do you censor your own art? Do you feel like you leave out details for it be socially accepted?: Listen buddy, you're in MY website looking at MY art!

I do not feel obligated to bend my artistic visions to please some strangers who probably didn't know about my existence until a few minuets ago.
87. Do you feel intimated with starting a new projects?: Yeah. Usually do it bit by bit instead.
88. Are you scared of your art regressing? Do you think it's even possible to get worst at art?: Although a pessimistic view, I believe art regression is real. It is literally why I didn't pursue it professionally. At least if my art gets worst, I don't have to financially pay the price for it.

90. How well do you manage your mistakes? Do you stress about them?: Just quietly tuck it away and move to the next project. Life is too short to worry about things people won't bother to look at for any more than a minuet.
91. Do you make lists of things you'd like to make? Do you actual commit to them?: Sometimes my siblings come up with a silly concept or something weird happens in my life. I have multiple lists taking note of these, but rarely do they become anything.
92. What is your ultimate goal of your work? Like, is to tell a story, connect with others, or just to enjoy the process?: To bring the lil guys in my head into something tangible.
93. What's something you've recently worked on that you're really proud of?: Probably this painting. I really ought to do traditional painting more often.
94. Do you have any dream projects? Have you started on them?: Literally everything featured in the OCs Website. Comics are technically the "cheaper" medium to create but the perfectionist in me makes it really difficult to just get started.
95. Would you prefer unlimited money or unlimited time to make your projects?: Unlimited money. This way I don't have to worry finding work and fully focus on my projects.
96. Why do you create art?: Because what else is there going on with my life, lol?
97. Are you happy with what you create?: Suppose as about happy as I can be.
98. Do you think everyone should make art?: Yes. I think just about anyone and everyone should make something at least once in their life. Make more than you consume!!!!
99. What's advice you'd give to newer artist?: Art doesn't have to be technically impressive to be worthwhile making. Have fun with it!
100. When did you finish this? How'd you feel?: November 28, 2025 » Probably should of done something more productive haha. Writing a 100 questions then answering them was a lot more difficult than anticipated. Hoping there isn't too many grammatical mistakes..!
