yknow i think target evaded me solely so i cant meme on it.
GOOD. as it should be.
i think i started drawing around 2005 or 2006 (because of MapleStory and a bunch of other things) -- it was always sort of just a "this is a fun thing to pass time", but i started drawing a lot more in 2007 (i was on a pokemon oekaki board and got my first tablet! which i still use today because it's sturdy and works well so why not). also a lot of doodles in class.
the closest thing to a book would be... a friend of mine wrote a novella for fun which i'm still getting through (and enjoying thoroughly)? i don't actually read that many books: i just can't ever find the time or attention span to read. if i do end up reading something i end up binge-reading and i lose days of my life (which i can't do anymore, since i have a job and all).
im doing good! i'm avoiding doing work since it's a weekend (which i'll regret come tomorrow, but that's a problem for futrue me)
You just unlocked a memory I totally forgot about!! Oekaki boards!! Omg I would spend so long scrolling through them and watching the replays back, that was such a huge inspiration for me too because I so desperately wanted to make art like them!! I think mine was a wolf oekaki board though lmao.
now I need to find out if you ever read warrior catsi will share... the very first picture i ever drew with my tablet (2007)
i am in the 25-30 range! i can answer in private but prefer not to give my specific age in publicalso, how old are you? I feel like we might be a similar age as seem to have had the same experiences growing up!! this is the start of a beautiful friendship
it is very cool! its not published or anything (because they would rather not) and my friend doesn't call it a novella -- but it absolutely is one. and i will call it as i see it.
my work is not related to art or memes in the slightest! my job is related to post-secondary computer science education. that's about as far as i'll go with describing it in public (though i'm fine talking in private about this sort of stuff) \o/ i like computer science and programming just as much as i like art (and i'd like to think i'm much better at the former than the latter)
I hope you’re doing well. I have a couple questions for you; I’ve been asking a few others some of these so I hope you don’t mind that 
.tough question! i typically like anything colourful or atmospheric,Hi!
1. Do you have a favorite type of artwork to look at?
i think it would be this one!
i started drawing in 2006-ish so that would make it 15 years or so? but i didn't spend all of that time drawing -- it was sort of in the background rather than something i actively worked on or focused on improving! i think people could actually get to where i am in like 1/10th of the time if they focused on improving and had a clear goal.
i think any advice i have would vary based on the person and what their goals are! i had a hard time coming up with a concrete answer for this since i have a lot to say here. in general for learning anything: if you want to learn something but you're scared (because you've never done it, you don't think you'll do well, etc.), then just start! it's okay to not be good at something, that's what why we learn. it's very easy to be disheartened, but it helps to remember why you're doing it and focus on that.
hitoshi-san (also this one)
you tell me
it gives me more time to think up jokes i could make, so no
an excellent question! to which i have... no good answer
i feel like im going to get some slack for this, but it's python! my first language was java, though.
C++
i usually go there to quickly grab food before working, so it's usually tea + some sort of breakfast sandwich or donut! i like trying limited edition flavours of stuff
i did not -- somehow i never even heard of it until i was an adult!
many poutines from many locations. there's no way to keep track
awww hes such a cutie, love his original hoodie! pants optional....an excellent question! to which i have... no good answer
i know he came into being around 2014 (and was based off my mabinogi character who looked fairly different)
"pants optional" because i really did not like wearing pants at the time.
shorts are optimal.
this was the first ref i had for him, but i drew him before this. i dont know where the little... hair pieces came from, but i think i just drew it once and liked it so i kept it! theres a bunch of old doodles where he has different hairstyles (usually based on my irl hairstyle at the time... i think? im not sure)
i think the bob cut is just because i like bob cuts both in games and irl.
but anyways! he just came into existence one day based off my mabinogi character and has been here ever since. i really have no idea!
i have a lot of ocs that i CAN remember where they came from with a lot of clarity. but this one.......... my main boy...... is a mystery.
pants optional.
yknow i never actually thought too much about canadian stores -- i don't really think i have much of a favourite, but if i had to pick... shoppers drug mart? just because its like everywhere and convenient
i didn't mind it, to be honest! my oc mainly wears blue because i like it aesthetically, and because blue is my favourite colour! but i dress him up in lots of different colours anyways, so it wasn't a big deal. though i would have preferred blue, im sorry purple.
for most of my OCs, yes! i would say my main one has the last backstory since he's just... there. existing. but otherwise, i usually have some sort of story for them, or i make one up when i feel like it!
my thoughts are scattered all the time, so i tend to use it for "extra" things that don't really contribute to the main point, but which i don't want to remove. when i write i tend to have a lot of parentheses (like this, etc.) and dashes -- sort of like this -- for the same reason. the way i write reflects the way i think, which is very unstructured and messy unless i put in the effort to be more coherent
fellow canadians unite \o/
i love nyan neko sugar girls and im glad you have been re-blessed
Ooh that’s cool, both of those instruments sound great.
