Hey guys. Artistically I appear to have run almost completely dry.
All the sketches I've attempted to do have come out looking god awful, and I have little to write about these days. So my deviantart has been very neglected.

Hell, My latest sketch was only done by reading a tutorial on how to draw wings, because I drew them so poorly after years of not drawing >_<

I've been trying to get my sketches going agsin as I was asked to do some album art by the band Shellshock (www.shellshock.tv) for their debut album, and even that I'm struggling GREATLY with.

So it is with great regret that I will be leaving DeviantArt with little chance of return. The occation poem might pop up now again, but no one seems to bother reading them these days, so yeah...

If I come back, I'll put up another journal entry.

Chow!
Torqueo

◆Your name?
Torqueo

◆If possible, your age?
19

◆When did you start drawing?
I started drawing properly when I was 12, having gotten very into Dragonball Z. This was my first encounter with anime, and I've been hooked to anime since

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
I find male are easier to draw. But I preffer drawing female's, as they have more defining features and you can do far more with their forms and looks

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
I find short hair is easier. But I preffer drawing long

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Facing the left or right, easy. All of my drawings are of people at an angle, otherwise, they come out looking terrible >_<

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Side

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
People holding objects like swords or guitars. I can draw people ok, but I'm TERRIBLE with objects.

◆What do you like to draw?
Eyes and the emotions you can put across with them. The eyes are the gateway into the soul

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Both

◆Where do you start drawing from?
The head

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Making the head too big or too small

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Not really, I'm terrible at shading and colouring usually comes to me naturally, so I struggle to explain it

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Depends on my mood really. It could take half an hour, it could take days

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
Metal or drum and bassy stuff, like infected mushroom. Prefferably something I can just let play in the backround that I don't need to play attention to.
If I'm drawing a musician, I enjoy listening to their music whilst drawing them, gives me better focus

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Usually it's instant. Ideas just appear in my head. Unfortunately, few of them make it to paper these days, unless they're lyrics and poetry

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Pencil and photoshop

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Dark colours mostly, I tend to have a bit of a dark twist on my art

◆Your favorite style(s)?
Anime, surreal, grafitti, photomanipulation

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
John Langdon I'd say. You have to look at the pieces from a different angle to get it. Kinda like mine.
