10 Questions with Andrew Huerta

1.... what medium and tools do you use to create art?

I keep it old school with paper, pencils and markers.

2.... can you describe your creative process when making art?

It always starts off with an idea. Once I decide on what to draw, I'll draw up some little thumbnails to figure out the right perspective and composition. After that step, I just start drawing the final image using my thumbnail as reference and that is pretty much it! I try to keep it short and simple.

3.... what helps boost your creativity?

A lot of things but more specifically films, graffiti, art books, music and life experiences.

4.... what helps you maintain focus and motivation when creating?

I'm addicted to drawing and painting so I have no other choice. Money is also good motivator but it isn't the main drive.
