First off, sub?! What the fudge ! Oh my goodness you are absolutely crazy for buying me one. Ilu, you silly girl! 8 8

But what the eff dA. Recently, I haven't been recieving updates from a number of people on my watchlist; editing my Friends List doesn't work, nor does rewatching them. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it? D:

School is starting now and I feel awful for not managing my summer better and not uploading anything major before this semi-hiatus, but I'm quite proud of cleaning up the 2000+ devs that had amassed over last semester. I have sooo many saved to comment on . Now, I'll be attempting to survive the Semester From Hell well enough to keep on track to a good graduate school. Eeep. To my future self and anyone else facing near-lethal amounts of stress: HANG IN THERE.

◆Your name?

Shh, it's Raquel.

◆If possible, your age?

19, but I usually forget and say either 18 or 20. D8

◆When did you start drawing?

I think everyone doodles when they're little, and I was no different. My grandparents and parents would teach me to draw simple things, like a hammer with arms and legs, a tulip, or a chicken. I drew lots of realistic and cartoon animals after that, and cartoon people, mostly Powerpuff girls, haha.

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?

I'm a righty.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?

Ladies! Loved drawing them as a kid and I still do now. My males are unbearably awful.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?

I have a harder time with short hair because I'm not quite sure what it is supposed to look like. My men's hair is always so fail. D8

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?

I definitely have an easier time drawing things looking to [their] right.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?

Profile. Symmetry is the bane of my existence. D:

◆What do you have problems in drawing?

Pretty much everything. xD

◆What do you like to draw?

Pretty/cute things.

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?

Definitely more digital experience since it's hella cheaper. For traditional materials, I like pencil and conte crayon.

◆Where do you start drawing from?

I always start with the head and work my way down from there.

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?

I usually mimic the facial expression that I'm drawing... it can make for some weird situations. :x

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?

Reference! (Haha, I should take this advice myself; I'm always making shit up as I go.)

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?

Finished pictures usually take me days, probably why I like scribbling more.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?

I have playlists for characters of mine, so I usually listen to those if I want to draw one of them. For everything else, I listen to whatever. Sometimes lyrics will inspire a sketch, otherwise what I'm drawing overwhelms what I'm listening to.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?

My head is full of random things I will never be able to execute. 3:

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?

My mechanical pencil with eraser top, now and forever.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?

Cerulean is my favorite color, but I never use it. I use bright colors a lot, though; my gallery looks like a rainbow threw up on it.

◆Your favorite style(s)?

I like stylized cartoons... Bruce Timm and Junko Mizuno come to mind.

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?

I'm not really sure. Just being pleased with something I've done is enough for me.

◆Thank you.
