@eine-kleine: Of course I remember you! I follow you! hehe And yes, I also love JD. I was just thinking about her today and ummm I actually have an enormous crush on this woman and I would greatly desire to see these videos, if it’s not too much trouble to link me to them.

@wellthisisprettyodd: I use a wacom intuos 4 (medium size) I used to own an intuos 3. As to which I prefer, the fact i4 has a detachable wire is my favorite new feature.  But the i3 strip works better/more seamlessly than the i4 circle pad. Though the i4 circle pad has more versatility, I generally just use the hotkeys for these purposes.

@wellthisisprettyodd: Anytime!  I’m so sorry my asks usually take a while to get responded to!  I apologize to everyone, but I read each of them and will try to respond as I get time, to keep the spamming to the minimum.

@fancyfishface: I use Photoshop CS4.  I think I might’ve responded to this, but no worries, I should really make a faq page…

@anon1: Oh thanks!  And yep, you can see the full sized image, here.

@himynameiskatharine: Thank you. I always feel like it’s difficult to show just how awesome Jean Paul Gaultier’s clothes are in illustrations.

@anon2: I love Andrej Pejic. He’s truly beautiful and I am a huge fan of androgyny, plus in interviews he’s said some pretty impressive and progressive things.  This model is all over my inspiration blog.

@itsflowever: AWWWW oh man, that’s very nice of you to say. Is it warm in here??  *tugs collar*

@dbananza: heheh Thanks! I’m pretty awful at sketching.  I take forever and pen sketches are very difficult for me. As for the sketches I did with other folks (hamlet, papermouse, muse33, karrambadead, and icarus) we did them on a site called tegaki, where you can only post pictures drawn on the tegaki program, and people can only leave drawn comments.  It’s a lot of fun and great for collaborating.

@anon3: Oh gosh, well, I’m not so good at it, but what little skill I do have, I’d say drawing myself awkwardly posed in a mirror or on photobooth helps, as did taking live-model drawing classes.  Those have been invaluable.

@anon4:  hehe : *   /blows kissus.  All for you babe.

@anon5: That’s a good question, I hadn’t thought of this before. I usually start with shapes though, like the typical “circle head” drawings, with a line that bisects the eyes and all that.   The answer can get sort of complicated, I think it might be easier to communicate my methods if I did a quick tutorial. I’m sorry for such a lame answer, let me get back to you on that.

(just a note! There are several asks in waiting that I think would be best if I drew some responses!  I am so sorry for the delay!  But the are coming! >  < please wait just a bit longer, dears)
