Interview
1. What are some great tips you can share about drawing?
Um dont be as lazy as me and actually practice everyday , use stock images if your stuck on a pose or drawing , if your bored look at something and try to imagine in your head how you would draw it ...if you don't have a pen and pencil on you.
2. When did you first start to draw manga?
Middle school , I feel in love with anime and manga when I started watching Inuyasha , I had never heard of it before then.
3. Name the greatest influence on your manga.
I think clamp probably. Not sure. maybe bleach .
4. Has DREAM been helpful to you in any way?
Yep
5. What was the first manga you ever bought for yourself?
Aquarium , It was also the second I ever read . Aquarium was by the same person who made the first manga Ive ever read and it was called "call me princess"
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.
Oh um digital I have a genius pen and U often draw with the paint brush in gimp , using a round brush with opacity , and pressure sensitivity at the scale of around 0.34 give or take .However Im probably going to start using the ink tool since it looks cleaner and use it at size 5.0 and sensitivity size 1.0...Gimp is kind of different from Photoshop. That or Ill take the paint brush off opasity and make it a bit softer ..I dont know I miss photoshop and manga studio.
7. How long does it take you to do one page from planning to toning and lettering?
Hours...I have no idea how long , half the time I dont even know what day it is.
8. What is the average length of your mangas?
.......I'll get back to you on that one day
9. After this manga, what type of manga would you like to draw next?
After otherworld? Hum maybe a slice of life shoujo. I always shove my storys in fantasy or sci-fi worlds so maybe I should try the real one for a change....Maybe
10. What inspired you to draw manga?
Inuyasha
11. When did you first start to draw manga?
middle school
12. Who do you say gave you the most support while drawing manga?
my best friend taylor.
13. Do you want to draw manga as a living?
Oh I would love it ...
14. Do you prefer traditional or computerized when it comes to coloring?
computerized ....I get angry at paper when I try to watercolor it ...>.<
15. Have you ever tried to promote your manga in any way? Name some please.
Not really
16. Was there ever a period of time where you completely stopped drawing manga for any reason?
a few times , my family has always moved a lot and my computer has crashed on and off since we've had it ...ect. Sometimes I just was lazy though I didn't have anything to motivate me or I felt my skill wasnt good enough T.T but if you give up you'll never improve .
17. Do you usually know the ending of your manga before you begin? Do you enjoy knowing/not knowing the ending?
No actually I don't ever know because even when I think of several outcomes , the very thought of ending it is just so sad for me ... I always figure When I get there Ill have several options ...and then I'll just choose randomly like neo did in the matrix when he was given the choice between the red and blue pills.
18. Out of all your series, which one do you feel closest to? Please describe it in a few sentences.
Blaze... the story has been stuck in my head since 2007 and even though Ive made pages , I also deleted them and remade pages like 2 times ...so now I only have 8 or 9 pages because of that. I love the story so much its difficult for me to actually draw the pages ... which is why im on hitus from it . Im not even going to describe it because theres to much to describe and only 8 pages so basically anything I wrote would be a spoiler T.T ( Im crazy I know)
19. Have you ever done a doujinshi? Which series was it based on?
No I havent but I really want to do a final fantasy X or a legand of zelda one , some day....GO LINK!
