◆Your name?
Don Keedic

◆If possible, your age?
20

◆When did you start drawing?
When I was 2 or 3, or maybe even earlier?

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Same as Fidel Castro, Kurt Cobain, Michaelangelo, and Kermit the Frog

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Females...I avoided drawing males unless I had to when I was younger because I thought they were boring...

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Short, although I find drawing long hair to be relaxing

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

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front view, even if it's more work. I can never get the anatomy right from the side...ends up looking awkward.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Ugh, too many things. Feet, chests, noses, perspective, cars, backgrounds in general (sigh)

◆What do you like to draw?
Fashion-style portraits, ornate costumes, females, cats, flowers, food (like cake designs and pastries)

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Mainly traditional although most of what I've done recently is digital. I'm trying to get better at painting, ink and coloured pencil.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
Almost always the face, but sometimes the eyes (only when it's a front view).

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
My colouring style is very cautious. I've been working to broaden my styles and take more risks. I also tend to get bored of drawings if I spend too long on them.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
I guess one thing would be to use a limited palette and to do some research on which colours look good together. With coloured pencil and paint, experiment with mixing on a scrap paper...you might get nice results.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Amywhere from 10 minutes to forever

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
I just put iTunes on random. It depends on what I'm drawing, really....Lately I've been drawing music related things and musician portraits so I listen to rockier stuff to stay motivated.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Seconds, minutes, days, even years. Many times I think of ideas as I am drifting off to sleep, other times i struggle for aeons (I'm currently stuck on an idea I came up with about two years ago).

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencils and DR Pilot Drawing pens

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I like them all. I know that sounds lazy but it's true. I like to use brighter colours.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
Art Nouveau, Cartoony, Fashion, edgy stuff...

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
I wanna make cool shiet like Jamie Hewlett and ...or maybe get a job at Charm City Cakes [link]
