Think of it like an interactive interview.  Ask an art related question and I’d answer it!

Example:

Q: Where/When did you learn to draw?

A: I pretty much taught myself.  It started when I was eight after my parents got divorced as a way of self-therapy.  See there's always some good that comes out of bad. :)

Hmm.. well one thing I've been curious to ask is what do you ink with? I use Sharpies but I'm open to suggestion.  :D

[da'G-ELLO]

I use Micron Pens to ink with.  Ranging between 08 and 03.  Every now and then I'll break out the 01 and the 005, but since I do the comic on plain old printer paper, they're pretty much wasted. ^_^

I noticed alot of your poses are very "gestural" Have you taken any figure drawing classes or does it come naturally through observasion?

[da'G-ELLO]

I have done some figure drawing, but never taken a class for it.  Most of the figure drawing I've done has been me telling a friend of mine to sit down and let me draw them, for study.

I'm a big fan of making dynamic pictures.  I hate static poses.  Each pose has to have a meaning, and has to express that meaning in a way which is interesting and/or exciting to look at (like how spiderman moves). Which is why I think about a picture a lot before I draw it.

The only actual "classes" for art I took were in jr high and highschool (which was an AP Art class).

They are very well exicuted I especially like Innoruk's slouchy  manner and of corse the eliquent hands.

I'm still very wobbly, but unless a picture is specifically a "head shot portrait" I very much want a picture to be telling a story.  Because that's why I draw these days, because I've lost the ability to tell stories with words (I used to write a LOT, can't seem to anymore).

[CipNinee]

But then again Im not the best writer, but if I did write, Id look at it in an art point of view.
 
It has to stand out in the crowd Be different I guess if that makes any sense
