Art
What do you use for your art?
Traditional - I use copic markers (Ciao/Sketch), 0.2 copic multiliner, copic brushpen, pentel brushpens, faber castell pens, sharpies, prismacolour pencils, and watercolour pencils. I often just use sketchbook paper for my art as I do most of it on my sketchbook, but I do my watercolour works on my watercolour pad, copic artwork sometimes go into my X-press it blending card. To sketch I just use a mechanical pencil with 0.7 HB led.
Digital - I use a Cintiq 22HD and paint tool sai for drawing and Clip Studio Paint EX for animations and backgrounds.
​
What do you use to post your traditional art?
Just my regular phone camera, it has good quality, but sometimes I will scan my work using my scanner.
Where do you get your supplies?
I get all my supplies from an art shop over here in Australia called Art to Art, but sometimes I will just go to officeworks for pens and stuff. Another shop I visit is Eckersley's art store.
​
Do you do requests?
Yes, when I have time. To make a request just post a reference of your OC or character you want me to draw and tag it to #seikitteadrawme, more information about it is available in my blog.
​
Do you do art trades?
Yes, when I have time. To make request an art trade, comment on my page on any of my social medias with a reference of your character and fill out the form (Don't forget to include the 'magic word' so I know you've read all the rules). More information is available in my blog.
​
Do you do commissions
Yes I do, keep an eye out on my social medias and the commissions page to see when they're open and what the prices are.
​
Why are your commission prices so expensive/cheap?
Prices for my commissions are based on my skill level and time spent on each piece. They are subject to change at any time without prior warning as I improve my skills.
​
How do I pay for commissions?
I accept PayPal (USD) and will email you an invoice to pay.
​
Can you enter my contest/do prizes for my contest?
Maybe, depending on how busy I am at the moment.
​
Can you teach me how to draw?
No, sorry, teaching isn't my strong point and it's going to be a bit difficult to do so online. I will; however, create and post tutorials from time to time detailing how I draw.
​
Do you use refs/guidelines for your art?
Sometimes for pose references I use my body chan figures so I can get specific poses I want. I also freehand all my art so I don't use guidelines or anything.
​
How long does it take for you to finish an art piece?
In all honesty.... maybe a week to a month, depending on the complexity of the piece, how much other work I have to do, and the motivation I have at the time.
Other
Can I draw fanart of your characters/OCs?
Of course you can! I'd love to see it. But please credit me for the characters and link back to my profile.
​
Can I include your OC in my fanfic/story?
Sure, but please remember to credit me, and link to me so I can read it, I'd love to check it out.
​
Can I ship/pair my OC with yours?
I'd rather not, as I have pairings for some of my OCs already, but if you're a close friend or someone I know, I'm happy to ship my OCs with yours.
​
How do you come up with ideas for your OCs?
I really don't know, I'll just be sitting here one day and an image of a character will pop up or a certain personality trait, and from there it slowly developed into a character.
​
Can you critique my work or give me advice on getting better?
I can try to be as helpful as I can.
​
Can we be friends?
No, sorry. Friendship happens over time, I'd rather take it slow and get to know the person first before becoming friends. (Plus I am very shy and awkward around new people, so I'm not exactly comfortable with being asked to be friends with someone I barely know >x<)
​
​
Can you make a tutorial on ___?
I will occasionally make tutorials on how I do things, and maybe make videos on them, suggestions are appreciated but it's not guaranteed that I will be able to do it (I am in no means a professional).
Can you draw me/my OC?
Please read my art status.
​
Do you accept critiques?
Yes I do, but only constructive criticism, anything that you think will help me improve my art (or if you see a mistake or something wrong, feel free to let me know).
