100 Questions for a DeviantARTIST

01.] What is your pen name?
Kainaa

02.] What made you choose this name?
It's the name of a character of mine, but I had to add an extra a, because Kaina was already taken. I really wish I had that name, cuz I don't like it when someone calls the character "Kainaa"

03.] Do you use PC or Mac?
pc

04.] What programs do you use most often?
Ms paint

05.] Do you use mouse, or tablet?
mouse

purple and brown, blues and brown

07.] What part of a picture do you put most effort into?
uhh... the lines I guess

08.] How long does it take you do draw a picture?
The simple ones, like my 150 point deals take about an hour and a half. Anything with detailed shading is 2 or more. Anything with more than one character can easily be 4.
