1. I actually like my combo of traditional and digital. I thumbnail with a ballpoint pen because want to sit somewhere without distractions. Pencil in CSP because easier to resize and move things. Ink with a brush and ink because I don't want an undo button. So both evenly!
3. I took as maybe art classes in grade school as I could. My aunt was one of the high school art teachers. And my college major was in Sequential Art.
5. I used to use reference a bit more before the pandemic (I would take pictures of friends in poses based off my roughs), but haven't been able to get far enough ahead to start doing that again. So currently reference is just for particularly hard poses or animals.

My favorite thing to ink is leaves.
