First off, I wasn't able to go to SummerFest; I'll just wait until I can afford to pay for my own tickets and when I can go without my parents wanting to assign me a chaperone. _{Honestly, sometimes I feel like such a little princess; I'm expected to meet up to certain standards, some I don't feel I'm comfortable at, but I can't even go out by myself FOR myself without my parents wanting to know exactly what's going on, why, for how long...}

Secondly,
I GOT TAGGED by Kelsey D|
[Artist Baton]

→ Your name?
Amanda

→ If possible, your age?
Eighteen.

→ When did you start drawing?
My thing was drawing on the hardwood floors with permanent marker. I didn't know what to do with paper until...Pre-K?

→ Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right. My parents say I have crappy handwriting anyway, but I'm trying to do more with my left just in case my right gives out.

→ Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Male! They've got no curves to deal with...until you take off their clothes.

→ Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Long...it just FLOWS~

→ Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Their left, our right...I can draw them either way, though, just not head-on. :/

→ Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Side. |D Only one eye and it's easier to form the nose and lips.

→ What do you have problems in drawing?
Realism, but...poses from nowhere [[I use a lot of magazines.]] hands, muscles, BOOBS! They're so crazy and weird!!! D<

→ What do you like to draw?
Hearts. |D;; That's my favourite shape, so I draw a lot of hearts. I also draw a lot of eyes.

→ Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Both...I'm starting to do more digital, but I like to sketch in pencil.

→ Where do you start drawing from?
Sometimes I'll just draw eyes...but I'll normally start with a head shape, then work from there.

→ What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
I draw wherever there's a clean place on the paper...I don't plan things out, they just happen. I've started to bite on my pencil/pen, too, which isn't the "habit:" of drawing, really, but it's a habit I have while drawing, so it counts.

→ What do you keep in mind when you do line-art?
That's I'm doing lines and not colouring. I try and vary line=thickness, but that doesn't always work with my shaky hands. :/

→ Any tips for coloring/shading?
Keep your light-source in mind, or at least keep shadows and highlights consistent.

→ How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Lately, I've not finished anything to tell you how long it took. D|

→ What music do you listen to while you draw?
Everything. I've got country, classical, goth rock, metal...I put my player on shuffle and just let it play, otherwise I'll put a specific artist/song on repeat.

→ How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
A few seconds.
Doesn't mean it's good.

→ Your favorite drawing utensils?
I use a regular pencil or mechanical pencil, maybe my tablet.

→ Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I sketch in pink, green, and purple a lot on the computer, otherwise I use...blue a lot, I think, with colouring.

→ Your favorite style(s)?
I like American comic art styles, some manga artists...nothing like BIG EYES-DESU or huge shoulders and tiny waists or anything...

→ Are you satisfied with your current art?
Hm...sort of. I'm improving, which is good.

→ What kind of artist are you aiming for?
To get my own style; at least able to draw consistently.

→ Thank you. Now please fill in the next columns by writing the names of the artists that match the criteria. Artists tagged must fill in this baton.
_{Kels tagged me, so I won't subject her to the same thing...I'll use doubles, since I don't really care to talk to many people on dA |D This is just a favouritism thing, anyway}
