What got me interested into art was Disney movies especially the Lion king and Disney Princesses, I was and still am obsessed with all things Disney, Pixar, Dreamwork’s, you name it. But what got me fully started was my uncle who was an artist, I’d watch him draw little pixie/fairy creatures in his sketchbook and I wanted to do that as well. I could go on but this pretty much sums it up, the rest is just details that made it extra special for me, but yeah! Plus, I did not have many friends when I was hella young, talking about 1-5th grade. It was my comfort and safe zone!

2 things mainly, my very unhealthy obsession with warrior cats ( I used to pretend to be a cat and would start clan wars with my classmates 
)
My best friend in my warrior cats phase was really obsessed with anime, so she would create stories and I would draw them

Pokémon. I tried to draw my favourites from memory, couldn't, and was shocked because I saw them every day and yet couldn't draw them. Decided to change that and now here I am.

Being unable to speak, started talking (poorly) on primary school. I would scribble or point at stuff when I needed something.
Like no joke, my parents thought I was mute or deaf. Luckily for me I was none, just an extremely slow learner.
Other influences I suppose cartoons and videogames, mainly watching my big sis playing with her pink Game Boy

i started drawing because of the cartoons i watched when i was a kid. i wanted to create oc and tell their stories through drawings
•
Anime and the primal desire to make my own- never made it, but that motive was enough for my parents to help me buy a laptop and a graphic tablet~ and from there it is indeed history
•
I started drawing more after going to an art exposition about Hugo Pratt and reading his comics with his Corto Maltese character
•
Art Attack and a bunch of anime at the time, from Digimon Adventures to Crushgear
Toddler me figured out that pencils can make those cool illustrations and animation so I never dropped it since then lol

I like drawing since i was a kid thanks to anime, but only whenI discovered Tonyvtoon and Domics on youtube back in 2018 that i got serious about art.
•
I got really interested in watching artists speed paints on youtube so I wanted to try it myself and the rest is history lol
•
It was either the art classes in kindergarden or anime. I can't really remember. Tho I'm pretty sure it was anime, since I do remember struggling with whatever they made us draw. I even refused to draw the flag of my country.
•
i used to love drawing my cat, so I got better so that i could better capture how beautiful she used to look, and now I draw all the other cats :)
•
•I need 2 b doing Smth w my hands At All Times so ive been doodling since the dawn of time basically and i used 2 check out how to draw books at the library always. Jthm rly made me want 2 develop my own style tho
•
for me it was percy jackson!! i loved looking at fanart and eventually it lead me to creating my own :)) now i take inspo from arcane, tloz, voltron, and even the renaissance
•
My friends from the 5th grade and the minimal anime I saw at the time that got me into art. Also a different friend picked up animation and I got inspired from her too
