How did you become an artist?

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. You could say it started at a young age when I was given my first piece of paper and pencil. As a child, I was always fascinated by the fact that I could put everything I imagined onto a canvas.

When I entered my teenage years, I got my first PC and ventured into the world of digital drawing. I watched a lot of tutorials and practiced with a drawing program I had at the time. A couple of years later, I dared to publish my work on the internet, and that's where it all began.

Where do you get inspiration?

Music. I would say that whenever I start a new drawing, I immediately open my music app and play a playlist. It really inspires me when I'm imagining.

I also look at other artists' drawings on Instagram daily, and sometimes I browse drawings on Pinterest. These things also inspire me a lot.

What’s your hardware setup?

I have an XPPen Deco M Pen Tablet and an HP G2 AMD A8 laptop.

What do you like best about Clip Studio Paint?

Clip Studio Paint is a very comprehensive program, and I love the variety of tools, brushes, and canvas options it offers. From a regular canvas to Manga/Manhwa formats, and it also has an animation option. It's very user-friendly and makes my workflow much easier.

How long does it take you to make a single illustration?

Depending on the difficulty of the drawing. If it's not very detailed and seems easy to do, it takes me about 2-3 hours. On the other hand, if I want to create a very elaborate drawing with lots of details, it can take me up to a day at most.

How has Clip Studio Paint improved your workflow?

As I mentioned earlier, my workflow has greatly improved thanks to the variety of tools and brushes that CSP offers. This program helps me expand my limits and develop my skills further as an artist.
