o1. Hey whats your name again?

It's Leah! And all the vital stats can be found on the profile!

o2. Do you have a favourite colour?

Why yes I do! It's PURPLE! With orange being a close second. Then there's silver, black and red. Yeah I like colour.

o3. I don't remember you mentioning it, but what's your nationality?

Canadian of Trinidadian descent *eats her fried plaintain*.

o4. What's your ethnicity?

Black! With a sprinking of Chinese and a dash of Indian. One can say, I'm 3/4th gangsta and 1/4th assassin/ninja*snicker*.

o5. Do you have any other hobbies other than art?

Well let's see, I'm an avid gamer [street fighter and KOF are my life!! Also love a little Ragnarok Online from time to time], reader, blog layout and webpage designer, music lover and musician. But my other really important hobby is world domination...alright fine, I'm not trying to take over the world. I just put it there to sound cool. Can you blame me?

o6. Can I ask another question?

I don't know, are you able to formulate a sentence in the form of a question? Sure you can ask, just send a little email and your qestions shall be asked. But they better be good ones! I'm a busy lady!

o1. What are your tools of the trade?

Digital tools: Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS2, CS3[Digital colouring], Corel Painter 9.5, 10[Digital Inking], Acer Aspire T180 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ 1.90 GHz 1.00GB RAM, Windows Vista Home Premium sp1, Wacom Bamboo[Medium sized] tablet.

Traditional tools: 0.5/0.7 Mechanical pencils[Zebra M402, Staedtler Mars Tenico 780C], Pilot DR Drawing Pens, Prismacolor markers and pencils, whiteout, Marvy Uchida Deco Color Opaque White Marker.

o2. Are you self taught or do you have any training in art?

Fortuneately(or unfortuneately), I'm mostly self taught. I took one visual art course in junior highschool, but I would really LOVE to take some kind of course in graphic art/design, or even better do one of those figure drawing classes, anything to improve. But for the time being, I have my books, online tutorials and most importantly, helpful critiques.

o3. How long have you been drawing?

Since 4! Started out drawing little trees and the sun with Crayola markers. Then for the longest while, I would draw little cartoony animals. When I was 10, a new show started up on YTV...and that changed everything. As for my cg art, I've been doing it since September 2003, so a large portion of my life has been dedicated to this, I really couldn't see myself not drawing something.

o4. How do I get good at using Photoshop?

As with everything else, practise, practise, practise and more practise. There's no set way of doing things, you really just need to experiment and play around with things. Look at the artwork of artists you admire, and see what you can learn from them. It works for me.

o5. Do you take commissions?

Oh gosh no! I really need to get to a point where I'm more confidient in my art, and I need more free time to actually draw.

|| Specs ||

o1. What did you use to create this site?

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, FileZilla and of course HTML, CSS and a little PHP coding.

o2. How did you learn to make sites?

Took a small html/Dreamweaver class in highschool for fun, and then a required one in college, but most of what I've learned about html, css and dreamweaver came from reading on my own. You can find so much information in the forms of tutorials and the like online. To me, it's really easy to learn.

o3. Could you make a site for me?

As much as I would love to, I just don't have the time, so no. Besides, it's much more enjoyable to learn to do things like that on your own.
