1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?


1 year and a half as a deviant but I've been browsing this site since I was in highschool (2010-2011) :XD:



2. What does your username mean?



It's my real surname (my real name is Gabriel Picolo but IRL everyone knows me as "Picolo") so it was a very easy choice. It used to be "365DaysofDoodles" but I had to change it since that project ended on 1st January.




3. Describe yourself in three words.


Too much overthinking


4. Are you left or right handed?


Right handed. I can't draw shit with my left hand :- D



5. What was your first deviation?



The very beginning of the 365 Days of Doodles project. Is it too much of a coincidence if everything started with a cat? 
  




6. What is your favourite type of art to create?






My favorite thing is when I create something that is true to me and it's relatable to other people as well. It may be a complex doodle about feelings or an eye candy fan art but what I love the most is the connection I create with who's seeing my work. That's why I keeping drawing. :heart:




7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?




Realism! 

It's actually something that's been bothering me a lot recently (it was also the subject of one of my recent polls). I'm currently feeling kinda lost and I don't know how rendered/realistic I want my art to be! ;A;

It's definitely not my favorite style but it's something like "at least I want to know how to do this, then I can move on to something else". Too bad it's not that easy...



8. What was your first favourite?



Mattias Adolfsson, you're such a master u.u


9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?


*Looks at favorites*



Artworks that have interesting compositions, nice use of colors or great storytelling (especially this last one).


10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?


Agh too tough to answer! I'd say it's a mix among:

(she's a complete artist, her work was what first got me into dA and her art just speaks volumes to me);

(the way he presents his work, the compositions and clever concepts...damn I want to be like this guy when I grow up!);

(her aesthetic choices, sense of colors, poses, lightings and shapes are impeccable);

(his sense of colors, storytelling and sea themes for his works which really appeals to me). 


11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?


I'm terribly shy so I would probably be a disappointment to anyone I met in reality :XD:



12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?




All the support I received through the last year from countless people have impacted my life tremendously. Every note, message and comment affects me in a way or another. :love:



13. What are your preferred tools to create art?







14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?




My room! I have a Japanese test tomorrow yo!


15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?


Top Three:

:bulletblue: When I finished the 365 Days of Doodles project. That was actually one of the best moments of my life so far
:bulletblue: 7 Days Drawing Challenge! (closed)
:bulletblue: 7 Days Color Challenge (closed) (both of these were so much fun and the amount of support I received from the community was overwhelming :heart: )



And last but not least, Happy Birthday DeviantART :dalove:

It's great to get to know an artist more by reading something like this! Brings artists closer to us mere mortals. Or at least we get the illusion of that hahah *cries*
Either way I was surprised, I learn Japanese too. But at the moment I'm -beginner level-, while you're probably -way better- by now. So that was awesome. Those Japanese tests, ah.. I remember how they killed me sometimes. Kanji too, hah. And then I saw Blue exorcist manga on your table and related a lot because I used to keep them stacked like that too. Gotta love your manga. Damn it's been long since I bought something..
Either way hope you keep fulfilling your dreams! Woop.
