often asked questions for me:
At first, yes all my drawings (and all what you can find and see in it) are self drawn and no smudged photographs!

1. Are you really 15?
Yes I am 14 and in april next year I´m turning 16.

2. Are your horses or linearts traced?
No, I don´t really like tracing, that´s why I draw all things myself, but of course it´s good to start with tracing, to get the anatomy right.

3.Do you take the color out of photos?
No, I don´t do this anymore, I have to admit that I did it in some older pictures a long time ago and think it´s a good alternative to learn realistic colors.

4. Are your horse drawings smudged?
No they aren´t, in the past I made some "bad experience" with smudging..lol
I draw with very smudge brushes! That I don´t smudge with the smudge tool you can see on my drawings, the light and shadow is more defined than the smudge tool can do
(smudging is very uncontrollable and left to the chance, but I don´t except that you can get very good effects with the smudging tool)

5. Use a hard brush! Than maybe your horses aren´t that blurry anymore!
I don´t know why you all don´t like blurry horses? Whatever(), no I won´t chance my technique, I worked with hard brushes some time ago ad I have to say I won´t do it again that soon...xD
Besides I´m trying to define my horses more and more, indeed with blurry brushes, and I have to say sometime it works better, sometimes not very good. That´s how the life works xD.

6. Did you ever took art lessons or something?
No, I teached myself to draw^^
