Have you taken any art classes: a component of school (grade four through nine) and 2 when I was eight-ish.
If yes, what kind: the two from when I was a kid were ones my parents got me in to, designed for allowing kids to hang out, draw, and learn a few techniques from a professional artist and just get a general appreciation for drawing (held at the YMCA).

How long have you been drawing: about a year and a half now...
Have you taken any art classes: yes, well... sort of
If yes, what kind: the kind the school requires (grade four through junior high- grade nine) as well as about two sets of an eight session course when I was a kid (I guess when I was in grade three-four) I have also been considering taking Art10 at school, because apparently I can learn shading there...
What is your favorite thing to draw: people, generally females though (of the grown-up variety) both human and anthro
What is your LEAST favorite thing to draw: animals pretty much... I'm not used to their body shapes yet... also, males. evil, evil males.

Do you take requests often: whenever I feel up to it. However I haven't had a chance to draw since the fall (does that mean I shouldn't count those months into my drawing time? )
Anything else you want to say about your art: Umm... no, not really... I suppose I could say the obvious thing about not being very confident with it... and I never seem to be able to draw the same thing twice (character-wise) which makes it hard to start a comic... but I'm working on that!

[Tony]

I think I'll go ahead and give this thingy a whirl, here... prepare for information!

Your Name:
Tony Caline (No real name for now!)

Your Artist Name:
Tony, but Tony Caline is still relevant here.

How long have you been drawing:
Since I was but a little kid that enjoyed copying ideas and art styles from old Garfield books. But, if you mean seriously, I'd say roughly around October 2004.

Have you taken any art classes:
Nope! Well, okay, I tried -one- that didn't go over so well.

If yes, what kind:
It was a class that I expected to be helpful in learning perspective and colour, and it ended up starting out trying to make be be an abstract artist in mediums I had never even conceived, so I had to drop it.

What is your favorite thing to draw:
Well, uh... feet, probably. They're fun to draw. But if there was a second best, I'd say crazy poses.

What is your LEAST favorite thing to draw:
HA HAAA, hands. But, I also don't particularly enjoy the idea of drawing anything above the PG-13 level, so I guess that actually counts.

Do you draw traditional (pencil, paint, etc) or Digital:
I utilize both! I normally sketch traditionally first, and then scan the sucker in at 600dpi for maximum inkage and colour. But sometimes I traditional-ink, too, though traditional colour is lost on me. (And even, some days I feel, digital colour is, too.)

Do you color your drawings:
Whenever I am able to, or feel up to it, yes,

Is Art going to be in your future as a career:
I could potentially hope so, but my parents (father, specifically) don't really seem to think it would work out.

What's your favorite medium:
Uh... I'll take a shot in the dark at answering this, and say 'Paint Tool SAI'!

Where do you get your inspiration:
My friends, the furry fandom at large, and zany adventures that I undergo over here in this quaint little Texas town.

Have you ever been paid to draw:
I have, I still am, and I am still accepting future applications for commissions!

Is there anything you see yourself never drawing:
Smut, mostly. But, aside from that, anything bearing abstract style, or realism. I can't handle that stuff.

Have you ever drawn from life:
See above. But, for the sake of an answer, no.

Do you take requests often:
I take maybe one or two - most of the time I'm too caught up in other projects to really accept anything, and/or remember to get to it.

Anything else you want to say about your art:
I have locations around DeviantART and FurAffinity, but if you are interested in seeing the galleries, I'll probably have links in my signature or something later.
