Hmm depends on what you want to draw :D I draw well a mix of manga and american cartoon and you could go varied ways. I might get a bit avid on this topic since I really want to illustrate when I get older I would love showing you hahaha I think a big tip is light lines don't apply so much pressure just umm go with the flow that's something I find common when people ask me to teach them. Just loose lines basically :) My favorite artist well I have three Kazue Kato, Tite Kubo, and the lovely people at Studio Ghibli among with some online artists I've been drawing since I could pick up a pencil and a lot of it was influenced by anime since those where the only tv shows that they had where I used to live I find inspiration in well everything music, anime, manga, other artists, friends, and things going on around me If you could meet my teachers and look through my notebooks and backpack you will know how much I love drawing. I constantly carry a sketchbook and a set of some form of media lately it's been watercolors before it was markers xD, I carry more art supplies than makeup sadly because of this my bag is a pain to carry @-@ And no your questions where quite enjoyable hahaha I hope that was insightful ???? xD

I love drawing...on a good day. Other times I just like it alot. I like to draw alot of things, unless im practicing or warming up I usually draw manga/comic style stuff just because thats the style of drawing I prefer. Would you mind showing me? No but I dont have any recent work but you can check out some major oldies if you want here. http://zaio56.deviantart.com/ Do you have any tips? When inking with felt tip pens always double line. Who's your favorite artist? I have alot Takashi Obata, Akira Toriyama and a bunch more. How long have you been drawing? Pretty much my whole life but seriously since sophomore year of high school. Where do you find inspiration? Everywhere!, tv, movies, music, books etc. How often do you draw? Just depends right now I'm working on a webcomic so a bit. Are you tired of my questions yet? Keep em comin

1. I like to draw 2. I like to draw character from my stories or just random ocs from different series 3. For some drawings check out konekordz.deviantart.com 4. Showing you would probably be difficult because I still need to practice on my own drawing. 5. As for tips start out drawing circles repeatedly if you plan on drawing people. The average Anime guy/girl head and body is 5-6 circles worth to draw. 6. Hiromu Arakawa the artist of FullMetalAlchemist theres just something about that style that attracts me to it. 7. I've been drawing for about 5 years now but still not good enough to be professional. 8. Best way to become inspired in my opinion is to watch anime, develop an oc, take the oc away from the particular anime, and create your own story to develop that oc. well at least that I how I do it. 9. At least once a day 10. Not really I like answering question ^-^ But If you want to learn how to draw I suggest you look up tutorials on deviantart.com or youtube. Sometimes it helps. Also I find it better to start out small don't go buying professional brand artist material when you're just a beginner start out with your basic #2 pencil, sharpener, and big eraser. From there you can learn to shade using different forms of pressure and smudging. If you plan on learning to ink your art start out with basic pens as well. once you start getting the hang of it you can start getting better material but I suggest you learn how to use them first or at least get some good youtube videos how to show you.

I am a illustrator, and I am going to school to become a animator / game designer. I often draw up concept designs of my own original characters. The most important thing I can tell you would be to always challenge yourself. I have been drawing my entire life. I find inspiration in the games that I play, and the anime I watch. I draw everyday. I am not tired of your questions yet.
