I jacked this from [livejournal.com profile] ataritastic.



01.] What is your pen name?
Nuu or Tinuu. Sometimes Pilot.

02.] What made you choose this name?
I like the sound of it. I like the word "pilot".

03.] Do you use PC or Mac?
Mac at school, PC at home.

04.] What programs do you use most often?
Photoshop.

05.] Do you use mouse, or tablet?
Tablet. I use mouse for everything other than drawing, I just can't get used to surfing with a tablet.

06.] What colour or colour combinations do you find yourself using most often?
I usually like to try new combinations, but overall I find myself using blue-green a lot more than I should.

07.] What part of a picture do you put most effort into?
I'm not sure. Lineart?

08.] How long does it take you to draw a picture?
This varies.

09.] Do you keep your rough drafts?
Generally yes.

10.] What font typeface do you use most often?
Helvetica? I use that when I have no idea which typeface I should use. I'm also fond of Gill Sans, London Between, Dante and Bembo. I also like Scala, but I don't have it on my computer right now. I like Avante Garde too. And I also like Centuar. But I find myself defaulting to Helvetica and Dante most often, just because they're both so versatile.

11.] When you scan your image, what DPI do you use?
300-600.

12.] Do you do anything else when you're drawing?
Listen to music and chat on msn, probably. If I get really into it I usually ignore everything else.

13.] Approximately how many pictures do you draw in a month?
This varies.

14.] What kind of paper do you draw your pictures on?
Manga paper or sketchbook. Sometimes I like to use printer paper.

Same as above.

I don't watch cartoons a lot, cause I don't watch TV much. I liked Cybersix though, and I watch the Weekenders and Recess when it's on. *shot* I read a ton of comics... or I used to.
