◆ Your name?
Jessica M. Muirhead

◆ If possible, your age?
21

◆ When did you start drawing?
I honestly don't remember. Probably when my mother bought me my first box of markers or crayons.

◆ Which hand do you use for drawing?
Right. I have tried my left to amuse myself although I am not very coordinated. Lol.

◆ Which is easier to draw - male or female?
I usually draw females although I am comfortable with both. I have more female characters to draw. <3

◆ Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
Either doesn't bother me although I prefer long hair because I like playing with it in a picture. >:3

◆ Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Left. Not that it is per-say 'easier' but more so because I draw faces this way when I am not thinking about it.

◆ Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Front view. It always takes a lot of tries to get the jaw right on a side view!

◆ What do you have problems in drawing?
Backgrounds. I don't practice them enough and usually get discouraged and lazy. Lol. I also could use some practice on angle views.

◆ What do you like to draw?
Goofy pictures. Especially pictures I know will bring a smile to someones face.

◆ Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Traditional mainly although I play with digital art now and again. I like the feel of working with traditional medias.

◆ Where do you start drawing from?
Head down. After my outline sketch I always draw the eyes first. The eyes of a picture are what make a picture for me.

◆ What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Smiles! Everyone is usually smiling. I don't like frowns or serious expression because I wonder what the character is 'thinking' about.

◆ Any tips for coloring/shading?
The basics work! Just practice and build off of them.

◆ How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Depends on the type of piece (complexity) and what media(s) I am using. I can take only a few hours to days!

◆ What music do you listen to while you draw?
Usually country, classic, oldies, or instrumental. That is what my CD collection consists of.

◆ How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Depends on my level of inspiration at the tiem. I can come with an idea pronto or I may need to stew on it for a while.

◆ Your favorite drawing utensils?
Mechanical PaperMate Pencil. <3

◆ Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
I love warm colors. Especially bold reds!

◆Your favorite style(s)?
Cartoony styles with a hint of realism to them.

◆ What kind of artist are you aiming for?
A unique, inspirational artists with characters that seem as if they could simply jump right off the paper with personality and/or emotions.
