Q) What artistic roles do you like to perform (i.e. inker, penciler, computer colored, painter). What styles/ genres do you create in?
A: I really like doing line art, it’s the stage that makes me happier. I consider my style a mix of comics and manga, because those were the styles, I surrounded myself growing up, so it’s kind of stuck with me.
Q) How did you get your start in art, what was the first project you did that made you feel like a professional?
A: I draw since I was a kid, I just kept going and learning through the years and never stopped. I think the first time I got a commission, that was when I knew things changed from hobby to something more.
Q) Where would you like to see yourself in five years with your art?
A: I don’t dream very big, but I would love to be able to host my first art exhibition, that would be amazing!
Q) What do you feel is the most important things a person should take from a piece of art?
A: Beauty, and I don’t mean it in the literal, an art piece can be about an ugly scenario, but if you can find the beauty that speaks to you in there, it’s all good.
Q) Do you have a specific creative process when you are working on a piece of art?
A: Not really.
Q) What are your primary inspirations when creating art?
A: I guess the books I read, shows I watch, essentially things I enjoy in life.
Q) Do you have any favorite artists that you like to study for technique?
A: Yes I do, they are mostly veterans of traditional arts, but I got a few digital favorites too.
Q) What would your dream project be? Are there any mainstream projects you would like a chance to work on?
A: I got one noir comic project I would love to see come to life. I don’t have any mainstream favorites at the moment, but it would be amazing to work on a Marvel or DC comic in the future.
Q) If people want more information about you or to request a commission, where should they go?
A: They can find me on most social media platforms under @lilkrART and send me a DM or get in touch with me directly by my email: lilian.rodalves@gmail.com.
