- - - frequently asked questions - - -
1. What materials do you mainly use for your drawings?
In general, I use Copic Ciao markers and Touch Twin Markers, Quill Multiboard A4 white paper, 2B and HB Pentel and Faber-Castell 0.5 mechanical pencil and Faber-Castell PVC-Free Space Eraser (Cool name) and I use Uni-ball Signo white fineliner
2. Did you go to any art school or academy?
No. I took Studio Arts in senior high school. It's not from that class that I learned evreything I know. I did learn new things from the class, but not to do with fashion illustration or manga drawings. I went to a regular high school, so it doesn't specialize in art.
3. How do you draw the models? Do you use any templates?
I started out by tracing models from magazines which is harder than it sounds, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Then of course, I searched all types of videos on CZcams and some sites as well on Google, which unfortunately, I don't remember. How I learned to draw my models is using the 9-Head technique.
4. How old are you?
I am now 18 years old during the filming of this video
5. How long have you been drawing?
I'm pretty sure I started drawing at 6. That's probably my oldest memory of me drawing. I got into manga drawings when I was 11 years old, I started teaching myself how to draw manga when I was 13 years old. I started developing an interest in fashion design also when I was 11, but I pursued that interest or taken it further at the age of 14. So, I would say I started drawing fashion illustration at the age of 14.
6. Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from music, photos on Instagram, Tumblr fashion trends, things that I love. There are times where I am just in an Artist's Block and I feel really brain dead where I can't draw. Or I force myself to draw and it never turns out to be something that I like.
7. Do you have any links or books you can recommend?
Definitely! Fashion Illustration by Anna Kiper and Fashion Poses for Fashion Illustrators by Sha Tahmasebi are two books that I own at the moment. I'm hoping to get more. These two books are very helpful if you're a beginner or even if you want to be a bit more advanced.

when i look back at my old drawings.. im like.. "oh god.. did i really draw this?"
but anyways it was fun to see your art and improvements throughout the years. some were really stunning
That was my reaction when I first looked back into these sketchbooks actually! haha :D Thanks btw :)
Some of my drawings I was quite impressed because of how I was sorta creative. Now my mind is not THAT creative and most of my drawings are boring as fudge.
Nakaji Derp I get what you mean, sometimes we forget the little gems we created when we were younger XD
What you did at 15 years old is just epic ! i wasn't that good at 15 !!!! o_O
ik this is so late, BUT I SAW PANIC! AT THE DISCO DRAWING "I WRITE SINS NOT TRADGIES" OMGOMG
+Msp Dowd SAME I FREAKED OUT
SAME OMFG
YAAASSSS SAME
I HAD A HEART ATTACK WHEN I SAW BRENDON
same
I'm so jealous you make drawing look so simple, wish I could draw like this and make my own characters!
My favourite drawing throughout all of your sketch books is at 9:17. I love her sword. It's fantastic.
I think that your drawings are really getting better each year. I am the same way with my art.
This is actually really inspiring!
+Helle Larsen thank you so much! :D and yes! keep on drawing :D
I'm so proud of you. You remind me of my little self 10-15 years ago. I'm so happy you end up keeping every single draw you did or still doing, because after a while it will be your little success. You made me smile girl. Xoxo
BRENDON?!?!?!?!!! BRENDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPEAK TO ME!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!! SPEAK TOOO MEEEE!!!!!!!
+Elizabeth Antoinette BRENDONNNNN
BRENDONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN PRECIOUS
I SAW THAT TOO OMG
This was very inspiring! I just wanna sit down and draw all night...might do it haha
I loved your video, my favorite sketch out of all of them was on sketch #7 where the girl is holding the balloons♡
Oh my word, you probably already know this, but your drawings are AMAZING. The colours, the poses, the shadings and everything makes my jaw drop in awe!!
+deckchairgonewild thank you so much! ^_^
i was reading "first kiss" and i loved it. i wish i could draw like you.
I love your drawings. Seriously, patience is so important
I would like to say my opinion about sketch books. Sketchbooks to me is where you can express your emotions, thought, feeling and ideas on paper in a form of a picture.
I love how all your characters in first kiss call each other senpais
+Melissa Yim AHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm so embarrassed for my 14-year-old self xD
Damn. It's better than mine starting off.......2 weeks ago
Nice art and very organized. My old drawings are usually in their own messy dimension that I never find.
I like the way you draw. You draw in your own way. you make up the characters rather than draw other peoples characters.
7:28 I spy Brendon Urie!
You're really talented, great work!
cool collection
i really like this..i read the "frist kiss" one while you were flipping pages lol
It's amazing to see how much u developed thorughout the years! just wow

This video was amazing! I recently got a sketchbook, and I'm hoping to fill it as much as I did when I was a kid. I wish I didn't stop drawing
You've really inspired me to start practicing professional drawings. The drawings you did at age 13 are amazing!!! ^_^
Your drawing getting better and better😁
This is really neat! I can definitely see the style development you've gone through. :)
Amazing! I like the way you develope yourself in drawing trough the years and you get better and better.

It is really fun to look at old art and see your improvements! I do that all the time :DDD You have improved a lot and I hope you'll keep on moving forward :3
I look back into my old artworks too! and thank you :D :D
I personally love anime and manga and those kinda things because you can have a lot of fun with it and it's easier then doing a fully detailed regular realistic face
Can you please do a sketchbook tour??? I'm a HUGE fan of your work and you inspire me so much!
PANIC! AT THE DISCO IM DYING RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Good from beginning to end its AMAZING
Wow, you're an amazing drawer! :) I really like the Copic Marker and water color coloring.
Love this :D I always feel the same with sketchbooks. I always try and make them perfect but when I learned to let go a bit I enjoyed it so much more! The progression through your art is fantastic!
You are same good when you're drawing manga, and when you draw realistic. very good improvements you got year by year, I think it happened so fast :o I love your art
This is amazing to look at and how your style developed over the years! So so so talented!:)
Thanks. You really helped me realize I wasn't trying enough for the dream I've always had -becoming a mangaka-
Dude, I'd kill to be as good at drawing as you are!
I Like your skech book. that's so adorable. and I love it
Could you make a "drawing tips" video ? Just things you've learned along the way? In love with your art as always (:

Your sketchbook is so neat compared to most others! (Including me)
the drawing at 7:54 was amazing
It's amazing! This has made me want to carry on with art x
6:14 was really good! Wow!
4:56, 6:25, 6:58, 7:00, 7:51 and 8:08 are my favorites. I love those. All of them are nice and I see how you improved. they're so lovelyyyyy
amazing to see how much u have progressed over the time you have shown. I feel like i am still at the sketchbook 6 phase compared to you, but thats just because of being out of practice and living in the real world working too much haha. BUT i am going to be a student this year, at the age of 25/26 lol...so I have a lot of time to focus soon.
I hope i can get better as much as you have with my manga and figure drawing.
Thank you so much! And best of luck with your manga and school!.. it's totally understandable.. even I'm not drawing as much as I was before when I was still in primary-high school >_<
