What do you use to draw?
I use a 13HD Wacom Cintiq and Photoshop CC 2018. In more depth, I really only have one brush that I use, as well as a couple of texture brushes I use occasionally for specific textures e.g. rocks or smoke. Everything else I texture by hand.
Are you self-taught?
Yes. I've gotten by on a lot of YouTube and Gumroad tutorials XD
How long does it take to do a piece?
A very, very long time. I've just gotten slower instead of faster. A single piece will take me anywhere from a few days (for a portrait) to a month or more (for a fullbody).
When did you start drawing?
I've been drawing on and off literally for as long as I can remember. I used to go through bouts of drawing heaps for a couple of months at a time, then nothing, then back to art again, when I was in my early teens. I stopped completely at around fourteen or fifteen, and when I picked it up again after discovering deviantART at about seventeen, I made the transition to digital art and have been drawing regularly ever since. So I've been doing digital art for as long as I've been on dA.

Can you draw something for me?
I love painting for other people but sadly I can't do free requests, as I'd be flooded if I did decide to accept them. I do take paid commissions, which are open every now and then.
Do you have video / step-by-step tutorials?
As of yet, I have no video tutorials as I've found it pretty much impossible to make one small enough to upload anywhere XD I also lack decent editing software. I do have a folder for step-by-step tutorials in my gallery though I plan to do more of those in the future.
I plan to do more of those in the future.Why does your art style differ from picture to picture?
I have two predominant styles - realism and anime. Realism has realistic rendering and proportions, while anime has realistic rendering but cartoonish proportions. I do this simply because I enjoy drawing both! Having the two styles lets me choose to communicate the character in the truest way I can.
Can you critique my work?
Every now and then I do offer critiques They're usually for watchers only and there's no set schedule, but stick around and keep your eyes peeled if you're interested Occasionally I will critique a work at random if you ask, but it'll depend on how busy I am.
Do you have OCs?
I sure do They're here if you're curious > toyhou.se/Arasteia/characters
I do draw them occasionally - I'm really going to try to draw them more XD I've been getting a fair few commissions of them lately though.
Do you ever do raffles / giveaways?
Usually upon reaching watcher milestones! I like to do them as often as I can - I know my commission prices are high and a lot of people don't get a chance to get some of my art.
