5. I use references as often as I need to... Which is a lot. Like anytime I draw something new. Even if it's begrudgingly: "Pfft, I know what a horse looks like" no, you DON'T. Google it. and use your memory/imagination for the extra details 💀




6. My least fav thing to draw is buildings. It's so hard to make them convincing if you don't put in effort, and it's hard to put effort into drawing something you don't really enjoy. So I usually directly reference building exteriors




12. (I mislabeled #11, sorry) On average finished works take, 3-5 hours? but I try to keep a few `styles' available so I can get ideas down in as little as ten seconds. (~10 seconds vs ~4 hours)


13. I absolutely draw the most I EVER have now, LOL. These days I do ~15 hours of comic work a week, plus 1-2 other 3-5 hour illustrations, on top of 20h of freelance contract work. & that's just the 'arting' hours 💀 don't be like me, kids

14. I am currently trying to improve the ol' work/life balance, but I am still slipping into old habits. freelancing for nearly a decade has put The Fear in me, so I have a lot of trouble rejecting work - even when my plate is already super full!!
