11. What do you like least about your art?
That I don't seem to be capable of bold, sweeping strokes. I'd like to have mad draughtsman skills like Michelangelo, and the patience to fill in massive levels of detail...basically, I don't like that I'm not as talented as I thought I could be when I was a kid and everything was possible. LOL

14. what do I like drawing the most?
Faces and especially eyes. Which is ironic when you consider that I'm actually not that great at capturing likenesses of people! Using photo references in digital art has been my saviour in that respect.

I don't think we ever live up to our dreams as a child. But all art has its amazing merit. We can't all be those famous madmen who painted the classics but making our mark by sharing our talent with people who enjoy our style, makes us famous in our own right. <3

Some likenesses are hard to capture and different styles can make all of the difference. I always enjoy your works. <3

I keep telling myself it doesn't matter I'm not a genius artist or writer, I enjoy both activities regardless - but sometimes I still WANT to be a fricking genius, you know? LOL

But thank you for being so lovely and supportive. xx
