NOAH-KH - noah |
| illustrator 24 years old - china |
| We were following the work of noah-kh for a moment without asking any question. We took all our courage and we’re definitively not disappointed... (corrections made by eowen) |
| “ imagination is the inspiration ” |
iBAS : 01 / hi dear noah, how are you ?
||| Noah-kh : Haha well i can say fine. Just been really busy... 02 / a simple question to begin, WHO are you (what you're doing, where do you live, whatever you want, etc) ? ||| Currently an art director in a game company, staying in Beijing. “i like how illustrations can express themselves” 03 / can you give me in some words reasons why you're making digital art ? ||| Well.. i like how illustrations can express themselves, of what the artist felt in a fleeting moment. Plus the common use of computer and internet nowadays, i decided to pick up digital art.. 04 / does your mood works on the direction of your work ? generally happy or sad ? ||| Can't say happy or sad actually, but when i'm drawing, i forget everything and set myself really into the work and do it. And of course the moment a piece is completed, it's always one of the happiest moments. XD 05 / which three of your works are your favourites ? ||| Butterfly, sad summer vaccation. These two are currently the two pieces which quite represent me... third one? maybe one of my coming works lol ... “just think and imagine” 06 / another top three but for other artists ? ||| Hmm... i'm looking at lots of artists and pictures, paintings, and i like many, and it's always changing... 
©noah-kh 07 / did you have influences and if so who or what can give you inspiration ? ? ||| I catch my inspirations sometimes just among the seconds of the day, just think and imagine... imagination is the inspiration ^^ |
©noah-kh 08 / i saw that there are two characters on your website, you and zemotion, can you talk a little bit about this other person sharing the website ? ||| She's my muse. ^^ ;) “i do plan to walk into other paths in the future” 09 / did you ever made an exposition of your work ? if so, what did you feel about that and do you have some pictures of this event to share ? ||| Maybe in the near future... 10 / i saw photographies on your website, is this another part of your artwork ? do you see some other roads for your work in the future (career, other arts, etc) ? ||| Photographs are mainly of zemotion's hobbies. But certainly i do plan to walk into other paths in the future, definitely photography and oil painting, and maybe comics... 11 / can you let us know about the process of your work and how many times does it take for you generally to make your wonderful works ? do you work on some sketches before or do you work directly on your software ? ||| Usually starts with pencil sketches and then scan into the computer. Though there're times where i just do a piece completely from scratch in the computer, like "butterfly". 12 / for your digital art, i saw that you use Painter, but do you use any other softwares for some effects (photoshop, illustrator ...) ? ||| I didn't quite like depending on a software to get a certain effect. Using painter is, in my opinion, to present the touch of hand painting, even in it i usually only use one type of brush and one layer for canvas. Though there are times i use photoshop to tweak the colors due to the color gamma difference in painter. |

13 / you have many talent but do you think that it's a gift or the result of many hours of work ?
||| Haha.... yeah certainly i can start scribbling on the wall. But i believe any gifts or talents in the world has to work closely with the job and hardwork. “a good faith and positivity” 14 / i saw you always on DA, but do you have any other favourite websites where you love to stay some hours in a day ? ||| Few. i don't even go online much these days because of the busy schedules... 15 / your favourite kind of music to listen working on your art ? ||| Usually the kind that touches my feelings but once i'm into the piece it'll feel like i can't hear the music anymore, though it can help me get into the mood for the work. 
©noah-kh 16 / time for you to have a question for yourself ... ||| Hmm... not much a question i guess. More of a personal feeling, i feel that no matter it's drawing or other things, having a good faith and positivity. “there are many whom i'd love to work with” 17 / can you let us know about a typical day for you ? ||| Wake up at 10.. no breakfast. Work till 6, hang out with friends or do some misc things. Draw from 10 to 12.. Sleep. 18 / have you ever made a collaboration with another artist on digital art ? if no, will you plan it and with who would you like to do that ? ||| No one at the moment. there are many whom i'd love to work with.. gotta look at luck and chances i guess. haha.
