Yeah yeah, I don't wanna hear any crap about "omg you did a tag". I've done at least one other! Heh heh, I apologize to all the women I failed to feature in my tags. You're all cool. Not... to sound all conceited, or anything. I actually mean that. (In case you haven't heard already; most of my friends here on DA are female, for some reason.)

Anyways, before the whole tag, or whatever it may be called; some updates. Firstly, I apologize for not having a deviation in a long time, again. Once again, if I actually had a place to draw and whatnot, then I probably would more often. I'm just waiting to move in to our new house. I'll finally have my own room WHERE MY BED ISN'T RIGHT NEXT TO THE STOVE! XD

Video games; they're great, right? Heh heh. I recently rented Halo Wars. It's really quite amazing. And I hate most RTS games. A LOT of new games have been announced. They're all either going to be ready for Christmas, or early next year. There's just too much to cover here. Sorry to those who actually read this.

On with the tag! (Brought to me by . Check out her work. Leave some comments.)

Artist Baton

◆Your name?
Rudy Gutierrez

◆If possible, your age?
17

◆When did you start drawing?
Since before I can remember. The first dream I can remember having was about painting.

◆Which hand do you use for drawing?
The right, but I have cyst in it, so that hinders my progress.

◆Which is easier to draw - male or female?
Well, honestly, males, because females have a lot of curves. Er, not to sound perverted.

◆Which is easier to draw - long hair or short hair?
They're the same for me. I enjoy drawing hair, whether it's realistic or anime.

◆Is it easier to draw the head facing towards the right or the left?
Neither, it's the same for me, generally.

◆Is it easier to draw the side view of the face or the front view?
Once again, it's the same for me. I have a lot of practice.

◆What do you have problems in drawing?
Hmm... *20 seconds later* I suppose trees. I still draw them kind of childishly. There's too many branches and leaves in real trees.

◆What do you like to draw?
Sonic-based characters, anime, and whatever I feel like experimenting in.

◆Are you a traditional artist or a digital artist?
Both, but I appreciate traditional more.

◆Where do you start drawing from?
In most of my pictures; a stick figure.

◆What is your drawing habit that you are aware of?
Not entirely sure how to answer this. Hmm, I tend to start with a very general plan and make it up as I go. Also, I usually don't color my hand-drawn pictures. And I take forever to finish just one thing.

◆Any tips for coloring/shading?
Basic shading, digitally, can often be done by simply using a darker and lighter version of your main color. But traditionally, you can just press harder or lighter on your drawing utensil. But that's all common knowledge.

◆How long does it take to finish a piece of art?
Heh, let's just say you can't count the days on your fingers and toes.

◆What music do you listen to while you draw?
A LOT.

◆How long does it take you to come up with an idea?
Usually when I'm able to think freely (At night when everyone else is asleep.), I come up with several ideas, and get started. Otherwise, it just seems impossible.

◆Your favorite drawing utensils?
Plain ol' pencil.

◆Your favorite color/the color that you use a lot?
Eh, I don't seem to have an actual favorite, but I use green most often.

◆Your favorite style(s)?
That... is a tough one... I got nothin', I appreciate all kinds of art.

◆What kind of artist are you aiming for?
A graphic artist for video games, otherwise, just a career in programming.

◆Thank you. Now please fill in the next column by writing the names of the artists that match the criteria. Artists tagged must fill in this baton.
