Hello everyone,

They are like repeatedly inquiries so it's better to make it clear here ! ^_^
I hope they are helpful and there are the answers for you if you have any question about them.

"What program that you use mostly?"
answer I love to try all programs, but I often use Photoshop and CorelPainter. Paint tool Sai, Illust Studio, Sketchbook pro, Open Canvas and Artrage are also helpful and I used them sometimes depending on the work.If you are interested in some programs that are free and cool. Gimp, Krita and MyPaint are really good. My Korean friend who is a professional concept artist use MyPaint for most of his work.
"What tablet are you using?"
answer I use Intuos 5 recently. But Bamboos are also good as well. Cintiq? it's good for accelerating process of the work because it feels natural like we paint in traditional, however if you get used to normal tablets, you don't need it at all. I know many professional artists use Intuos and they can create work as good as the artists who use Cintiq. : )
"What major that you've studied?" "How did you learn to draw or paint?"
answer I've graduated from Fine and Applied Arts faculty, basically it's visual art not concept art or illustration. I've got gold medal and first honor prize in traditional painting major like drawing, water and oil colours, but there was no digital media or techniques related at all. However, I love to explore all styles of art and I personally admire illustration, fantasy comics and manga animation so I started drawing since I was very young. Although I've not drawn them when I was attending to the University for 4 years. After I graduated I decided to draw them again and tried to advance the styles. So in conclusion I was self-studied for everything I was interested in.
I remember that I actually started realistic drawing when I was in public school and using Photoshop for adjusting and Open Canvas for painting since I was in first year in high school. : )"I've seen you work on many styles. Do you actually like realistic or manga/cartoon style more?"
answer I love them all! For me realistic style is comfortable and stable because the work is needed to be studied and observation. Studying from real life or photo observation are very fun. For manga style I think it's also need basics like anatomy or value and colour theory, but I feel challenge to have such a freedom to create something that is exist in real world. It maybe seems easier than realistic style but from my experience, it's very difficult as well to capture the characters like how to make them pretty or tough. ^^
"How long you spend for painting each day?"
answer I actually never count how many hours I'm painting. All day I think that I try to work on the painting, and also for studying that mostly trash them later lol.
"Is it difficult to be an artist?"
answer It's like a painful path and I think every career has its own difficulties and obstacles. But I love to do it so I keep fighting. ^ ^
