Interview
1. What are some great tips you can share about drawing?
Never give up! It takes time to develop your own skills and if it's your life time goal then go hard. But realistically drawing is a bitch so Ill say practice, practice, PRATICE! Till your hands hurt, it'll only get better when you try hard ^^ also try different angles and take classes to better yourself.
2. When did you first start to draw manga?
Around 11...but I always drew when I was kid. But officially at the age 12 my sister taught me and I carried it on.
3. Name the greatest influence on your manga.
Sailor moon lol and dragon ball z!
4. Has DREAM been helpful to you in any way?
This will be a great start to help me push my manga further...so yes DREAM is a great help.
5. What was the first manga you ever bought for yourself?
NONE! I don't buy manga I borrow them :P...WAIT 3 korean manga in Korean! Lol I just brought it cause the drawings were awesome!
6. Name the pens you use for drawing manga and how you use them. If you ink digitally, name the sizes and types of brushes you use and how you use them.
I use normal HB pencils and draw very carefully...If I ink on PS it takes to long so I prefer inking traditionally and adding effects on PS is a win! Ink with the pen tool, it looks good at the end. But it takes to long that's the only down part.
7. How long does it take you to do one page from planning to toning and lettering?
10 mins to 20 mins to plan the whole 10 pages roughly, 30 mins on a page 15 mins to darken lines carefully and around 1hr or 2 with toning and wording with photoshop.
8. What is the average length of your mangas?
Long...
9. After this manga, what type of manga would you like to draw next?
Fantasy action type!
10. What inspired you to draw manga?
People who create there own manga inspire me to do my own and great mangakas who do it professionally :)
11. When did you first start to draw manga?
Ah 11? Lol
12. Who do you say gave you the most support while drawing manga?
My sister that is a year older than me she taught me how to draw manga and I kept going with it, she supports my ideas with negative and good critique lol
13. Do you want to draw manga as a living?
YES! But I need to get better and PRACTICE! I still cant draw backgrounds >_>...
14. Do you prefer traditional or computerized when it comes to coloring?
Either, both looks good.
15. Have you ever tried to promote your manga in any way? Name some please.
No to embarrassed to try yet lol one day...But so far maybe dream online?
16. Was there ever a period of time where you completely stopped drawing manga for any reason?
I think so...I wouldn't draw for a whole month or two cause I never thought I was good enough but I was kidding myself cause It was the only thing that made me happy :P, then again drawing itself makes me happy.
17. Do you usually know the ending of your manga before you begin? Do you enjoy knowing/not knowing the ending?
I have to know the end! that's how I know the middle and inbetweens lol
18. Out of all your series, which one do you feel closest to? Please describe it in a few sentences.
My fantasy type comic with action in it! I haven't exactly done the manga for it yet but it is the closet manga to me cause it took me 4 yrs to get it perfect! It's my baby so I feel connected to it in every way. The comic in a few words is very final fantasy like with a lot of humour and better lol
19. Have you ever done a doujinshi? Which series was it based on?
Yes but it never goes past three pages ^^! But I hope to do a long one soon. It was based on Cloud and Aeris from final fantasy 7.
20. Which of your characters do you like the most?
Seiya my character in "young heart" and Nepka in my fantasy comic.
