When is your prime time to work on your art?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For work, I go from 9am-5pm with a lunch at 12pm, Monday to Friday. I find that I work best on client projects during the day and I give myself that very clear cut-off point so I’m not overworking myself.<\/p>\n

Buuuut, after making dinner, going on a walk, and settling on the couch for the night that’s when I work on personal art. So around 7pm-10pm.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that one thing that inspired you to make drawing your consistent hobby?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I’ve been drawing steadily since I was 10 and once I started I just never stopped. I’ve got like three pivotal moments;<\/p>\n

When I was 9 a teacher read The Hobbit to my class and I got really into it and started drawing scenes from the book, that teacher encouraged me to keep going and I felt like being an artist was something I could actually do.<\/p>\n

Then I got really into Dragon Ball Z, so my drawings turned more towards anime and I began doing a ton of fanart. It was mostly just copying Toriyama’s illustrations though. My mom started encouraging me further and saying I should go to Sheridan College when I’m older (and I did!)<\/p>\n

Comics took over once I got my first volume of Shonen Jump when I was 11 in 2001. That’s when I realised that “comic artist” was a job! It was such a monumental moment for me, after that all I wanted to do was draw comics.<\/p>\n

Now I’m a professional, drawing both as a hobby and for my day job! I made it!<\/p>\n

\n

Anything you haven\u2019t drawn yet but want to?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ohhhhhboy, I have maybe 15 projects swirling around my head at any given time but I’ll stick to one for now; I’d like to do a NSFW webcomic with a really old OC of mine, Ulf.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m in the plotting stages right now so I haven’t actually done any pages for it yet (that counts for this question right?!) I’ve had this character for well over 10 years now and I’ve had this idea for a while, I just gotta do it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
