I tried to work with other software but it was impossible for me, until I found Clip Studio Paint. What do you like best about Clip Studio Paint?Ĭlip Studio Paint is very complete and very intuitive to use. But I have no preference, I like to work with both. Maybe in the future I’ll get a newest tablet but at the moment I’m very happy with this one.

I work with a PC (that I think I’ll have to retire it soon, it has many years) and with a XP-PEN tablet (Artist 15,6”). Other artists who inspire me so much are Laia López, Peter Brockhammer, Pernille Orum, Brittney Lee, Carlotta Dicataldo… and many more! I guess the art style that inspires me the most is the semi-realistic style. When I was 14 years old, I was totally obsessed with his style (I still am) and with the comic “The W.I.T.C.H.” (by Barbucci and Barbara Canepa). Her art had all that inspired me: the flow, the underwater vibes, the magic (girls!). Also there’re 2 artists who were very important for me at the beginning: one of these artists is Lois van Baarle.

But what influenced me the most when I was younger, was the anime of Sailor Moon and the underwater stuff (I really dreamed of being a mermaid!). I think I get inspiration from all that my eyes see! TV shows, video games, animation movies, art books…. I didn’t go to an art school so this way was (and still is) a little hard. I left my profession as a teacher and began to draw seriously, learning everything by myself. So I thought “hey! Why not? I can be self-taught artist and maybe a professional one in the future!”. One year later, I was celebrating the 1000 followers. So then I began to share my work on Instagram (in 2016).

It was so relaxing and it was very helpful with my anxiety problems. After finishing the career, I started to draw more frequently. When I got my first computer (I was 13 or 14 years old), I started with digital art, just with a ball mouse and the classic Paint. In fact, I graduated in Early Childhood Education. I always loved to draw since I was a child, but I never thought about to become a professional artist.
