F.A.Q

OK I get a lot of repeat questions so I'll try and answer some of the more common ones here!

What programs/materials do you use?

A variety, but mainly normal HB/2B pencils, Photoshop CS3 and Paint Tool SAI. I always write what I've used for a particular drawing at the bottom of the artists' comments, so check there!

Have you ever taken art classes/are you planning to go into it as a career?

I've taken the basic art classes in school, through GCSE and now AS but I'm dropping it as a full time subject at the end of this year. I've taken figure drawing and oil painting lessons outside of school too and they really help - I'd 100% recommend doing them if you get the opportunity! The stuff I learn in school is pretty much all fine art so it's not much to do with what I post on here, but it's taught me valuable skills I'm very grateful for and am able to apply to what I do for fun.

I've kinda come to the conclusion that if I ever went int othe industry it'd definitely be for VisDev or storyboarding of some sort. However most of the art schools around England seem to be much more geared towards fine and studio arts since the particular sub industry I'm interested in is based in America, which is annoying. I'm currently not aiming for art school but it's definitely something I'd like to keep up and maybe go into later, I guess.

I'd really love to one day create my own animated TV show though like Asaph Fipke, Craig McCracken, Christy Hui and Lauren Faust... but that's a bit of a stretch haha.

Have you got any tips/can you do a tutorial?

I'm nowhere near enough to make a tutorial, but if you visit my Tumblr and go onto my resources tag you may be able to find some useful stuff there. Alternatively, there are really great sources all over dA and the internet, so they're probably your best bet.

Do you take requests?

No, sorry. Please don't ask about these!

...Art Trades?

Occasionally, but more often than not I don't because I'm awful at drawing under pressure. If I ever do take them it'll usually be with artists who I mutually follow, or I will open a journal asking for them.

Do you do commissions?

Yup! Check my journal.

Can you join my contest/club?

The answer will most likely be no, sorry, since I haven't got much time for contests but there's no harm asking!

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT BE STARTING WORK ON THESE FOR AT THE VERY LEAST 3, MAYBE 4 WEEKS! I've just decided to get all the slots filled now, so I can start working on them as soon as my exams are done (gotta raise funds for the holidays ) and into the summer, and I won't ask for payment until then. Hope you're all doing well :)

Please read everything under before messaging me!

I know my prices aren't exactly dirt cheap, but there's no way I'm willing to undercharge myself for my time and effort. Sadly, this is something I see artists do all the time.

BASIC STUFF:
- I use Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop CS3
- I will not do anything gory, offensive or overly sexual. Basically, nothing tasteless. Also preferably nothing super dramatic like Russian dancing or OTT kisses etc :L
- You can do whatever you want with the final image as long as it's for non-commercial purposes.
- Please be aware that I will stylize characters, the way I normally do. I'm capable of adapting a little, but keep in mind you're going to end up with my take on whatever you request, whether they're anime or cartoony or whatever.
- If you'd like a drawing of yourself or a friend/family member etc, I'm willing to do that too.
- Please be able to provide reasonable quality visual references!
- PayPal only.

I'll give you a quote on receiving your request. Max 2 characters. Please be aware that a more detailed request will take longer!

DIGITAL SKETCHES
Limited palette and looser brushwork. Colour hints can be added for small details like eyes, but there will be one dominant tone.
For examples, check the 'commission' tag on my Tumblr.

Bust: $12-15
Half body: $16-18
Additional character = add $8-10.

FULL COLOUR
Fully inked and shaded. Simple background.
Eg: [link] [link]

Bust: $16-18
Half body: $20-25
Additional character = add $10-12

If you want something larger, with more than 2 characters etc, send me a message and I'll get back to you! I really can't guarantee, but there's no harm asking. Also: prices may fluctuate according to character complexity, but I'll give you a proper quote before you decide to finalize anything!
If you've already reserved a spot for a commission and I've already given you a price quote, then these prices won't apply to you, so don't worry.

PROCESS:
- EMAIL ME with what you're after at manmanfan@hotmail.co.uk. Do not message me through Tumblr or dA if you want to order! I lose track of those inboxes very easily. Make the subject "commission", and include your Tumblr/dA name. Requests not sent by email will be ignored.
- If you get a slot I'll let you know. You don't have to know exactly what you want now, but if you do, feel free to send me your request and refs.
- I'll ask for payment (please be able to pay!) once my exams are over in about 3 weeks and I start working on your piece. - If for whatever reason I can't complete the drawing after you've paid, you'll get a full refund.
- I don't take traditional commissions at the minute, but some of my existing traditional work is available on Etsy. Prints of my other digital stuff can be found on Society6!

Thanks for reading! <3 I hope that covers everything… please let me know if I've forgotten any details or you have any more questions.
