 FAQ  


1. Who are you? O.o
Saniika - written with two >i<.

2. Since when have you been drawing?
I was born with it, but maybe it was Maybelline?
But for real I do use Maybelline...


3. How did you get so good? And how can I get as good as you?
Draw and never stop - you can have some breaks though. That helps sometimes actually.

4. What do you use to make your drawings?
I use traditional and digital media. Traditional ranges in lot of materials from pencils, watercolors, gel pens, copic markers etc. Digital media is done in PS and SAI, currently working on Wacom Intuous Pro Small tablet.

5. Will you draw something for me?
I offer requests in my journals sometimes, subscribe so you won't miss that and also visit my livestreams (I stream rarely) - at the end I offer bonus sketches sometimes. I do arttrades, but only with friends. You can also commission me.

6. Can you take a look at my work and give me comments?
I check art of my friends only.

7. Can I be your friend?
It will be seen with time, these things develop naturally on its own :>

8. I saw your pictures posted somewhere else or by someone else.
Please do not message me about this, thank you. I'd rather focus on making art.

9. Can I use your art as reference, for making icons, banners, etc. ?
Please contact me about that, always - before you actually use it. If you do use it and discover this FAQ after, stop using it (remove it) and contact me after.
Absolutely do not post my artwork in full resolution online - clients please respect my TOS.

10. Do you like comments?
Sure. No matter what kind.

11. Why did you not answer my comment/thank me for the watch or favorite?
I am sparing my hand for drawing. I am only a human ;3; sadly it's true. I appreciate all nonetheless!



12. Do you draw porn? :|
No - I draw tasteful art. Very rarely now, I have a hate/love relationship with this topic and am getting to my comfortable place bit by bit.
In general, I think sex in artwork is stigmatized a lot and I am not happy particularly with glorified violence in the acts. I miss the sensuality, realness and positivity.

"porn is not evil per se
but having to do nothing but porn because nothing but porn is demanded, that IS a problem
sex is not the enemy"

13. I have a question which is not in the FAQ.
Let me know here in a comment and I answer you after my best conscience. If it is a question which is frequent and I didn't think about it, Ill add it here. :)

 About me  


Some mini info about me - you’re free to ask about anything you’d like to know.

Duracell bunny represents me the best and it's sort of an insider joke. I am a majored teacher of Fine Arts and German linguistic. For several years I was working as a freelancer, earning my living with commissions and other side projects. Here are some commission related info about and from me - guide1, guide2. I have a full time office job and therefore commission are activity for my free time. I draw rarely and during weekends, emails included. If I do offer commissions, please know: my delivery time and being able to respond to correspondence, is affected by that.

Sadly it means I don't have much time, so pictures just for myself are a true rarity. Though I hope I'll continue and make some project again. 
I am mostly active on twitter or tumblr now - rarely also on instagram.

I own a guinea pig named Chokino. Sometimes I think he owns me though.



Due to my art and job I suffer from back pain, shortened muscles and scoliosis. If I overdo it I can't even type on a mobile lol. I am taking antidepressants for my anxiety, troubled by insomnia boasts. I can share a lot of coping tips, but always welcome new ones! Here they are: hand exercise , back stretching , overcoming panic attacks … just to name a few. Recently I am also doing a therapy - both psychological and nutricional. I hope to finance both with my art, thank you for supporting my health in this regard. It helps a lot!

I am (un)healthily obsessed with pugs, watermelons, pinups and noise generators. Send these my way, I'll gush over them! I love to learn from other artists, doesn’t matter what skill they are at. I am running a project called Artist Showcase, cross-promoting my fellow art colleagues - you can contact me should you like to try it out, perhaps I'll pick you. I did create various stories and original characters of which most were published in anthologies. You can find them here and here.
