How did you become an artist?

My older sister was my first inspiration to explore art—she started drawing, and I’ve continued ever since! As a kid, I loved cartoons and anime, which captivated me with their unique style. Later, video games introduced me to digital art, and I realized how powerful art could be in inspiring emotions. That’s when I decided to turn my passion into a career, focusing on creating art that speaks through its colors and details, bringing joy to others.

Where do you get inspiration?

I get inspired by nature—plants, the sky, clouds, and water—and how their colors and shapes spark ideas. Music, especially from artists like Chevy, helps guide my drawings too. Trends and other artists keep me motivated, knowing there are so many of us sharing the same passion!

What’s your hardware setup?

I work with a gaming laptop, an ACER NVIDIA with a 12th Gen Intel i7-12700H and 16GB RAM. For my artwork, I mostly use an XPPEN Artist 10 2nd, but when I need to do 3D models or textures, I switch it up with an XPPEN Deco Pro Medium.

What do you like best about Clip Studio Paint?

I absolutely love the 3D functionality! It makes it so much easier to create perspectives and poses, and I can even animate directly within the software. The best part, though, is the asset store—there’s such an amazing variety of materials, brushes, and 3D models from other artists, making it super easy to customize and elevate my work. Clip Studio Paint truly feels like a tool
built by artists, for artists!

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

It usually takes me more than 4 hours, especially since I spend a lot of time searching for good references and making sure I have clear ideas before starting.

How has Clip Studio Paint improved your workflow?

Clip Studio Paint has really made things easier for me! I can set up my workspace and shortcuts however I like, which saves a lot of time. The brushes are super fun to use, letting me color and blend just by adjusting pen pressure. Plus, the 3D tools and asset store make everything so much quicker and help me stay organized!
