I have felt very demotivated and I saw that many artist felt the same "why are we drawing if AI can come up with pretty stuff, and even copying us in 2 minutes?" Then I received a comment that changed this. Someone said "but Bianca, that's when we need human artist like you the most."

Now I look at my drawings and then I see mistakes, weird anatomy, light or shadow, but I can confidently say: AI could never!

Oh I understand, well, first of all it's kinda difficult to actually balance things out. I guess we can't trust someone when they say they have a balanced life. And it's totally normal to feel like one side is heavier than the other. It's human! (I just avoid feeling consumed by something).

I draw for 30 minutes or even 15 minutes. It's enough for me to create something I like. But during the weekends, I stay like 4 or 5 hours doing only something I like, forgetting anyone and everything else x)

that's actually so nice, thank you?!

I always come back.

Posting on X as well as Pillowfort.

You've been a real inspiration for me in my own journey in art. The way you bring out the emotions in the eyes and the mouth has always been fascinating to me, some of your work is heartbreaking 🥹

I did this recently for a Naruto event and I chose to do it in this style with you in mind.

Anyway, thats all I wanted to say 😊

Oh the struggle! (i still have it...)

Your art is lovely, and many are appreciative of the content you put out.

Thank you so much!

I have drawn them so many times that they just appear in my lineworks, It's not as simple as that, but it's as simple as that lol

I mainly use references for poses (on sites such as magnific, unsplash, pexels).

I can give you brief examples of actual people who I used as inspiration for important features (many years ago, when I was just starting to create comics for them):

Lily - Jane Birk

James - classic Aaron Taylor-Johnson but specifically here

Could you share some of your favourite things about jily or hinny. Like do you have a personal headcanon about them. I love how you bring out their personalities in your art.

I have one in particular that it's inspiring me lately. James being cautious during the beginning of his relationship with Lily, which amuses her greatly.

"I don't want to overreact." He explained one day.

"About what?" She asks, smiling.

"How much I love you and I can't imagine my life without you."

What is your inspiration as an artist ?

Thank you!!
