'''Define your style of art'''<br>
I think I've always taken a comic-type approach to fantasy and sci-fi. I was heavily influenced by both Walt Simonson's and Jim Lee's pencilling styles for form, but I preferred the costuming, themes and general feel of Elmore and Parkinson's fantasy paintings. Still kind of working on the whole 'art style' thing...
<br><br>
At this point, I just use as much pencil lead on a page as I possibly can and hope the piece turns out!!! :)

'''Where do you do most of your work?'''<br>
Any flat surface will do.
<br><br>
'''What are your favorite things to create?'''<br>
Heroes and Villains. Monsters and mechanical designs are fun - but I dig drawing specific characters with specific stories related to them.
<br><br>
'''What tools do you use to create your artwork?'''<br>
Usually just a good handful of mechanical #2 pencils and a few compressed shading sticks. I'm a big fan of colored pencils as well, but it's been awhile since I've gone that route. Photoshop's killer for finishing touches and such, but I prefer a good old fashioned pencil as opposed to pure digital art.
