1. 7 years ago I started taking it seriously. Before that I didn't exactly draw much, but I was pretty good at pencil drawings that were copies of photos - I wouldn't call that being artistic though!
15. SHOES. Feet are okay, but there is something about shoes that I struggle with. They can fuck right off.
18. I guess I just like creating things? Though if I were to be completely truthful, the main reason I started drawing was to be able to feel I was participating in fandom, as I couldn't write fanfic.
19. Photoshop CS5!
24. I think the worst thing I've done was trace over hands and faces (reference photos, not actual artwork) for an initial sketch, for the first year or two of working in digital (that is the problem with Photoshop, it makes doing things like that so easy). But it never felt good doing that, and I realised I was never going to improve by doing that. Reference grids helped if I was having difficulties after that, and eventually I weaned myself off those too.
Also I once drew Emperor Palpatine/Yoda slash. That was pretty shameful.
