1: Do you prefer traditional drawing, or digital?

I like both, but I tend to work in digital most of the time.  My comics are all digital, as are most of my commissions, but it’s also nice to unplug and use traditional media now and then.  My con sketch cards are markers, pen, and colored pencil, which are the supplies that I used most often as a teenager before I learned how to art with a computer, so there’s an element of nostalgia built in for me. :) I still have nearly every colored pencil I’ve owned since ager 14. ^_^;;

2: How long have you been drawing?

My mom would tell you I came out of the womb with a crayon in my hand. (ETA: If I recall correctly, the earliest drawing I did, as immortalized in my photo album at home, is from 1989 or 90. It was a picture of my mom.)  I always liked to draw and was usually the best artist in my class in elementary school and the like.

But really, I mostly drew cats up until around 1998, when I discovered Sailor Moon.  Then I started drawing PEOPLE, and I haven’t really stopped since.

I’ve been making comics since high school (2003ish), and I put up my first webcomic almost ten years ago.
