The answer is no. I spend many hours, weeks, and months, creating my artwork. I am a digital artist, yes, but my work is created all by hand, completely from scratch. Furthermore, I adore every second of the process of creating my art, and while in today\u2019s day and age, it\u2019s a perfectly valid thing to ask, it is a curiosity that does tend to sting sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Do you use references?<\/strong><br><br><strong>A:<\/strong> I do. Most (if not all), artists use references, if I\u2019m being completely honest. It\u2019s difficult trying to remember how something looks off the top of your head, so they\u2019re needed sometimes. Whether that\u2019s an inanimate object, or a specific pose you\u2019re after, references are completely normal, and I do use them from time to time. Tracing someone else\u2019s artwork or photo is wrong, though. I don\u2019t do that, if that\u2019s what you have in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-white-background-color has-white-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How did you find your art style, and how can I find mine?<\/strong><br><br><strong>A:<\/strong> Honestly, as corny as it might sound, you don\u2019t find your art style. I definitely didn\u2019t. You shouldn\u2019t worry and push yourself to find something that honestly, given enough time and practice, will find you eventually. You\u2019ll find that the more time you spend doing art, the more you\u2019ll lean into a certain type naturally. Your personal art style will bloom from that. Genuinely, the best advice I can give you it to just keep doing art. It\u2019s not something you can rush or force yourself into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Are you LGBT friendly?<\/strong><br><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Absolutely! I would like to think I\u2019ve made it pretty clear with my art and website already. It would be pretty hard not to be, since I\u2019m a part of the community anyway. However, in case you need it explicitly said: I\u2019m gay\/lesbian, and I use she\/they pronouns. You are safe here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Do you use A.I. to create your art?
