Hi there! My username's Pyuun, but most people call me Pom / Pomama. I'm very short and I get sick incredibly often, but I love to draw sparkly things @ v @! In very short and blunt terms, I'm 'allergic' to sunlight and heat, so I'm a pretty big recluse orz//
What does being creative mean to you?
Being creative means I'm able to draw whatever makes me happier. I'm not very good at expressing myself through typing or speaking out loud, so it's really important for me to be able to have that outlet. I end up getting sick and consequently end up depressed, being able to put my feelings down in colours and lines to vent and cheer myself up is amazing.
How do you think you represent yourself in your artwork?I've always been incredibly pale and blonde, my eyebrows were so fine that they didn't really show up until I was about 15-16. So.. I'm very very fond of my eyebrows. I've always kept that in my art, with thick blobby ones.
What sort of things in your life have an influence in your works?When I was little I'd watch Sailor Moon on TV and I always thought it was so beautiful that I'd try to copy the styles from it, but honestly the thing that really heavily influenced my art was a magical girl anime called 'Mermaid Melody'. It had such bright colours and sparkly art, I remember staying up late at night to try to draw eyes as big and vibrant.
How and when did you first realize you wanted to become an artist?
I never really wanted to be one, actually! I wanted to work with animals more than anything else in the world, but my illness restricts me too much to be able to. Art just sort of became my fall back option a few years back. I realised it was the only thing I really had a talent for and I knew I'd be able to do commissions to try to make a living from it @ v @.
What is a style or medium of art that you haven't used but would like to try?Maybe acrylics ? I'd love to get into watercolouring, but I get very worried that my traditional art wouldn't be as liked as my digital. I own acrylics, but.. I think I'm just scared of how the outcome would look, or how many mistakes I'd make.
What advice would you give a beginning artist?
When you're drawing, sculpting, writing -- Never look at someone popular and better than yourself. It sounds horrible, but I've always found that I'll put my art down and will feel more reluctant to finish. It doesn't matter at all how advanced you are, as long as you're still proud and enjoy your finished piece, it's going to be much more valuable to yourself than any works those more popular / 'better' artists will have made.
