QUESTIONS.. AND OF COURSE....... ANSWERS.. (Patreon)

• What's a couple of ways that you get motivated and

i apologize in advance if this is corny as FUCK but... i truly am an excited queen.. i think the number 1 thing that gets me motivated is pure excitement to make something hahaha i think it helped me when i started incorporating the things i love to my art. For example, I love watching movies, so I'd be like oooooh lemme turn this into a painting then it would actually make me "get my ass up and work" as kim kardashian said

another main motivation for me is that i really really really really really really want to make this my main source of income, i wanna make art for a living!!! There is no back up plan!!! This or nothing!! So i need to do it hehe

• where do you draw inspiration from?

Movies - oooooh when i watch a movie with great color scheme its so joever for me

Songs - some songs bring up cute memories that makes me wanna paint hehe

Pee-pole.. random memories - you think some objects are random but this big brain bestie has some little easter eggs here and there about my irl besties <3

Other artists - my super duper all time favorites including.. (but not limited to.. wow big words) Kehinde Wiley, Lauren Tsai, eunpyonart, fleshpng, nogobed

• do you ever get to a point where you just abandon a project instead of salvage?

it happens but maybe like once a year!! here's my current "im soooo foken sure ill never foken touch this again"

sometimes a painting just got bad vibes hahahahhaha but i try not to abandon anything because my painting times are always limited so every painting is ✨precious✨ :((

• do you know what u want a painting to look like before u start or do u mostly wing it?

I 100% just wing it! I usually just start painting a portrait and then I base the objects and the vibe on like a current favorite song lyric or if I wanna dedicate a painting to a person or a memory hehe

• Where did you grow up and what did you love drawing when you were young? (this one was asked on Threads and i already answered it there but i would feel like a jerk if i'd be like oh here's the link to the answer HAHAHHA)

I was born and raised in the Philippines (but i live in the US now) yes yes yes a filipina queen.. or should i say,, swagapino

I only started painting dec 2016 and before that i have literally no interest in art but i remember i loved doodling cubes and eyes on my school notebooks lmao

• how do you choose colors

I just wing it bestie hehe but I also tend to go for warmer colors, so i usually start with like.. yellows or oranges..

These days, I've been using a lot of song lyrics in my paintings, and i think I get the color vibes from the song vibe hehe

Sometimes I paint a portrait too and base all the other colors from it like with Rob Patt's red shirt, I just started looking up and painting all red stuff lol

I think it's also important to kind of be familiar with color theory which i have a post somewhere here under the tutorials collections hehe let me know if u guys want an updated one!

• do you have 3d tutorial recommendations

ahhhh im sorry bestie I've always been bad at watching tutorials because i have the foken shortest attention span! I'm learning 3d with nomadsculpt and it's just very beginner friendly!

I am trying to watch blender guru for the donut tutorials tho lmaooo right now im only on video 6!!!

Link:  blenderguru

and for nomadsculpt, I stumbled upon RaZum_inc's videos and he's got like a patreon type thingy too it's called boosty, and he's got tutorials but the coolest stuff I got from him are his nomadsculpt clay brushes!! super duper cool!

• differences of nomadsculpt and blender

Bestie honestly..... i haven't gone past the blender donut tutorial yet lmaoooo but hmmm as a 3d beginner.. the biggest difference is the interface and how 10000000x beginner friendly and intuitive nomadsculpt is! I feel like anyone can just download it and start making cute stuff in one sitting whereas with blender, you will need to watch a whole ass video before you can make a decent one!

but...  nomadsculpt is super duper limited, with blender you can do animations, use so much more textures and effects, i don't even think there are effects on nomadsculpt other than the aesthetic ones like making the models shiny or glowy and stuff like that

That's all bestiesss! I'll update this if I get more questions, you can still ask below too!!!! 

hehe that's all good night mwa mwa
