Art Interview: Raimu-chan, Lime

Ladies And Gentle men, welcome again. This time we are going to interview Raimu-chan, known as Lime in M2A.
Hello Lime! May we have an interview with you?

 

Im sorry! I haven't been on M2A lately! But Im back now!

I would love an interview ^.^

 

I second that!

 

I just took a look at your drawing Lime. They're soo good!!! I wish I could draw well.

 

*I'm so sorry, Please forgive me fer not replying immediatly*


Hello Lime! Thank you for allowing us to have an interview with you
I agree with the Audience, you art is totally fab.
Lime, What inspired you or motivated you to become a great artist? Do you remember a time where you first held your favorite art utensil and drew?

 

Hehe...The first time I have ever held a drawing impliment..had to be in pre school, maybe back futhur, but I don't remember then. In pre school, I was drawing a blue dinosaur..that now to me, looks like a blue blob on a sheet of paper, with 2 green eyes. Anyway, my now best friend irl, came up to me, a total stranger, and asked me to play with her. I seemingly yelled at her..Telling her, "I MUST FINISH MY PICTURE FIRST!" She cried..and I went on with my picture..I was determained to draw..and still am!

I used to always draw different types of cats, or animals..Once taking a liking to anime, and the japanese culture, I couldn't help but try to draw their style. After years of trying, and the thousands of trees I probably wasted with doodles all over them, I'm finally getting the hang of it, and yet I could still do more!

 

hey i'd like to see those images too! they're not in the gallery, are they??

 

^.^ Interesting, you were determined to be an atrist even when you were young! Amazing! *Kawaiii*
What are your main sources of inspiration? Is there any artist whom you like to develop a similar drawing and/or coloring style to his/her?

 

I always try to draw with cuteness..It's just a thing I always look for..

I would love to draw like Saber Marionette J (Not just becuase it's my fav. anime >>;; ), I just think it's really really cute. The colors are beautifully done, as well as I usually have my characters with big eyes. Besides SMJ, I would love to draw like the people of Star Ocean EX (Anime wise). Their colors are similiar to SMJ, but they vary their ways of drawing for each character. I think it is more realistic. I don't really like drawing completly realistic, and yet cuteness is a special thing to me ^.^

 

^_^!
Lime, Do you have a special time to draw and create art? How long does it take you to create an anime master piece?

Do you have any original anime characters or do you draw mostly fan arts or both?

 

1) Well..I do have a special time..which is defiently NOT in school. Everyday, in school I get requests for me to draw someone something, and when im in school, I cant just pick up a pencil, get a peice of paper and do it! I guess I need the concentration that I can get at home..or maybe im just fusturated, or to tired at school. I prefer doing them when im alone, and not having people look over my shoulders.

2) It usually takes me..a couple min. to sketch it out, and decide if I want to use skeletons or not. I usually then take at least an hour or two to actually get out the main figure and person i want, putting extra minutes to make the face great. It then takes another hour, to ink it out the way I want it, add in things, or correct anything I didn't like. Erase the marks, and if I want to color it ..Which also takes a great deal of time.

3) I have tons of original characters that I draw every now and then, and even put them into my own stories, or small 3 coloum mangas. As for fan art goes, I'm not very fond of it, but it's something I like to try once in a while. It seems you need to draw exactly how the artist draws in their anime style to get it the character you want it to look like. I have my own style of drawing, and I prefer my own, then some others ^^

 

Thank you so much, Lime fot this interview...
would you like to give M2A members some advise when creating art?

 

*nod nod* Yeah yeah!

 

Oooo Alright, I got some

1) Always keep trying..and never say you want to start drawing..you will always come back to it
2) Devolp your own ways of drawing..and don't bother trying to draw just like this one person..
3) Never draw a face line, or the eyes, and then give up on that picture all together...always try to finish your picture

^^ More later!

 

Isn't any place on the net were I can see your own artwork?
