Nick/Artist name: Xenia/Complicated

When did you start and what made you start?
To be honest, I don't really remember when exactly I
started. I think it was around when I started secondary school and was inspired
by the impressive art I saw being posted on social media. The thing that
finally pushed me to start was seeing my friend start posting her drawings
online and being motivated to do the same.
Where does your inspiration come from?
It comes from many sources - mostly artists I follow on
Instagram (ranging from stylised digital artists to realistic watercolour
painters) and art I see elsewhere. I'm also inspired by things I'm a fan of,
like shows and music, as well as daily life.
What is your best achievement?
I'd say my best achievement is the progress I've made along
my artistic journey. Although it has not been quick--I unfortunately do not
draw as often as I should because of art block and school commitments--looking
back on my older art, the difference is evident and I'm quite proud of it.
Which is your personal favourite?
I can't choose a single favourite; all of them have parts
that I'm not fully happy with and I'm trying to practice and improve more on
these areas. I think that eventually I'll make something I can be proud of and
call my favourite!
Who inspires you?
Other artists, and the people around me. I don't have a
definite answer when it comes to this since I take inspiration from so many
sources :')
Advice for aspiring artist?
Don't get too weighed down comparing yourself to others.
Comparing yourself to others is normal, and can actually be a great source of
inspiration. However, comparing too much will negatively affect you and
discourage you. Instead, compare your present skill to your past so you can see
how far you've come.
Don't give up--even if you have to take breaks due to art
block or other reasons, come back afterwards with renewed motivation and
inspiration to keep going.
