frostious1] What is your pen name? KelBardi or just Kel. Come to think of it I never sign my work.
2] How did you get the name? I used to be KelComet, but it never felt fully comfortable (I only added the Comet because Kel is taken everywhere) and after I met
bardiphouka his name sort of merged with mine for the long version. It's certainly unique.3] Do you use PC or Mac? PC.
4] What software you use most often? Corel Painter Classic. I tried the latest Painter (8 I think) but discovered I didn't like the interface at all, I like to keep things simple.
5] Do you use mouse, or tablet? Tablet usually, I'm not conmtrolled enough for mouse work.
6] The color you use most often is? Black. I think. If not then probably skin tones or green.
7] What area of the pictures do you put most effort into? Poses, faces. Need practise with hands and feet though.
8] How long does it take you do draw a picture? It varies a lot. Some of my best work I've virtually sneezed out. On the other hand I can get lost in one picture for hours, usually on one tiny detail.
9] Do you keep your rough drafts? Always when using paper, 9 times out of 10 when using Painter.

15] What kind of paper do you use for sketches and drafts? I use the sketchpads for those too.
