| Maly's drawing-tastic art survey |

| Have you ever done a stippling project outside of art class? | Yes. |
| Ever imitate a popular style of art? (anime, disney, comic book...) | Of course. |
| How would you define your "style?" | A mishmash of hodgepodge. |

| What do you hope to accomplish with your art? Do you want to go anywhere with it in life? | To be able to take what's in my head and make it real, share it with others, and give it voice. If you mean like a job, not really. |
| Finally, why do you draw? | Obsession and compulsion. Never been able to sit and watch TV or play video games. Must always been engaged in some kind of learning/exploration. |
