general Art
What programs do you use?
- I use Paint Tool SAI, and Photoshop CC for final edits.
When did you start drawing?
- I think I was 4 when I started to draw all the time. I started drawing anime when i was 12, And started digital in October of 2015 ♥
Why do you only draw female's?
- I'm more comfortable drawing them. Also, no one every commissions me to draw males so I don't get much practice.
How long does it take to finish one illustration?
What canvas size do you use?
- This also depends on what I'm drawing, but my normal chibi's pixel height is a minimum of 1500 at 300dpi.
No one will commission me, what do I do?
- If your art is at a level that you believe people will pay for, and you're not getting any orders, there could be a few things happening here.
The one thing I have learned though, is that DeviantArt has a very large population of young people, who probably don't have the funds to purchase art and/or aren't
legally aloud to have paypal and such. The best thing you should do is to just open your commissions, and leave it at that. While you wait for someone to order, spend all
that free time to keep improving by doing personal art and fan arts! Also try to expand outside of Deviantart like using twitter, instagram, and so on!♥
How should I price my art? Is 80 points too much?
-I see this all the time, where young artists will price their art so extremely low because they think that's all it's worth or all they could get for it.
Please don't sell yourself so short like that! Instead of selling for so cheap, just spend your time improving until you can price your art at something that it is actually worth!♥
A lot of people don't understand the time, effort, and emotions that go into making art, and some do think that it is worth next to nothing when it's not.
Unfortunately, when people price their art so low it tends to affect the art community. Please just be patient with yourself and don't try to rush things!
Art is a never ending learning process.. just enjoy it, ok?♥♥♥
How do you shade like that/how do you draw that/how can i draw like you, etc?
- I always have a hard time answering these kinds of questions, and my answer is always something like "i just do it" LOL.
It would be better for me to show you through tutorials of how I do the things I do, so please keep an eye out for those!♥

How is your cat Cloud doing?
-I get asked this quite a lot, and it means so much to me that so many of you care about him. I can't thank you enough for that♥♥♥
Having said that though, it does bring me down sometimes to always have to talk about it.
If anything changes with him, I will be sure to add it to this journal about him, where you can read everything that has happened.

-Of course you can! I would love to see and would be so happy~
Please do refrain from drawing them in certain themes though like violent or pornographic
You can see my characters bio's on my ToyHouse which is also linked on my main DA page~
How come you don't reply to every comment/thank new watchers anymore?
-I'm sorry I don't do this anymore, but there's just too many q.q
One time i just kept replying and DA blocked me for spam haha!
Please don't take offense if I don't answer you, but I promise I read them all.
It is also hard to answer a bunch of simple comments like "cute!", because all I can answer is the same, and it starts to feel like a copy past reply.
