Q: Tell something about yourself.
A: My name is Lana and I'm a self-taught artist living in a small city near the Black Sea. I like asian spicy food, nature, animals, cute stuff, good music from classic to rock, games and of course I like art.

Q: What programs and tools do you use?
A: In past I was using Paint Tool SAI, but now I prefer Photoshop (currently have Photoshop CS6). And I use old Wacom Intuos 5 touch S.

Q: Have you ever learned in an artistic school?
A: I tried once, but I left it in 4-5 months because it was not interesting for me. It was boring and I do not regret my decision. Everything I need I learn myself.

Q: How long does it take you to draw a picture?
A: It depends on difficulty. From 1  to 7(8) days.

Q: Can I use your art?
A: All my art is free to download except commissions. You can post it on any social media. It’s always welcome. The only rule you must give credits. You can use it as your avatar, banner, background, just no commercial use. If you have any questions, pm me.

Q: Do you use references in your work?
A: Yes, of course! Using references helps me a lot to understand how things work. I even do some references myself. So, yes, I definitely do, but I try to use it in the right way.

Q: What is your inspiration?
A: My inspirations are: japanese manga and anime, asian people and culture, BJD and porcelain dolls, antiquarian stuff, korean and japanese fashion.
