What/Who made you want to do what you do now and how has that changed?
/mine/
In I think 5th grade when I first got my computer/room I started to try to draw manga and anime after the guy on youtube named Mark Crilley
http://www.markcrilley.com/ I tried to draw the exact same thing that was on the screen before I started to draw shit on my own.
I also learned a little from
http://bleedman.deviantart.com/gallery/ I first found him through you tube as well looking at a video of his comics,
http://ppg.snafu-comics.com/ I used to draw a shit load of gore after I found his stuff even though his comics didn't even have much blood in them
I hate both of their styles now, they're too stereotype anime for me.
/now/
Now I'm trying to draw more cartoony stuff because of how lazy my lines look when I draw anime and how the expressions I draw don't go with the faces at all. Im currently inspired by
http://aquasurfer.deviantart.com/ and
http://xiao-tong.deviantart.com/ because firstly with Aqua, her fucking noses are lovely along with her heads and I just cant describe how much I love her drawing's expressions.
As for Xiao, I like her drawings because of how she colors them. For example, in this speedpaint she did
she colors to sketchy and fast, I like to finish drawings in a hurry so that I don't spend hours and hours just trying to color inside the lines. So thanks to her I found a way to do that :>, but holy fuck the tons of homestuck art and the terezi language shit she does is disappointing.
