25. Do you like to draw in silence, or with music?
I prefer to draw with noise, all the way!
with writing there’s only a Certain Kind of music that i can listen to without getting distracted (vaporwave, 90s styled hip-hop instrumentals)
but for art, anything goes! usually i play random billboard hits, youtube mixes, or reviews!
27. For digital artists: how many layers does a typical piece require?
usually around 10-12 layers, but it depends!
usually, my process is two layers for rough sketches, (shape building, then rough outline), a layer for inking, a layer for flats, and a layer for shading!
but i have a set of these for each additional character i end up drawing, PLUS if i want to add highlights and other effects, that racks up the layers as well.
