Questions from the audience:
9:30 - Tian, what were your major inspirations when you were younger?
14:03 - In your work I see some inspiration from classical art. And I love the colors you use, what is the process you use to create the color palette for your pieces?
17:29 - As a professional in the industry, would using lots of references be frowned upon?
23:44 - How would you break this painting down for a beginner who is just getting started?
27:13 - Tian for your "Prisoned Singer" piece how long did it take you? Are you afraid to tackle very detailed pieces knowing that you have to keep your social media active too?
37:40 - I find it hard to find an approach that works for me and I think I have it down and then I start to work on something else. I find it hard to find a technique that is my own. What is your experience with this?
42:57 - I've had hand problems for 9 months now and every time I get better the pain comes back, and I can't go to the doctor. Should I stop until I can go to a doctor?
45:06 - Do you ever get sick of doing so much art?
51:06 - Do you ever paint out of emotional need or a therapeutically way to release your emotions?
1:23:26 - In regards to character design, when you are painting a picture and you have a completely new character, how often do you sketch character poses before hand or do you just start from scratch on the painting?
