Colors Gallery, meet PoodleKingdom
@PoodleKingdom stands proud as they show off their love of anime! Their chibis are easy to recognize as well as their immense talent! Now let's learn more about them!
Tell us about the kingdom of @PoodleKingdom ! What should we know about you?
"I'm a simple artist who loves to draw and create stories with my own original characters! My username is a part of one of those stories! My username was originally inspired by two things that I loved. My mom's toy poodle Jack and my favorite game series Kingdom Hearts! My old signature is similar to the cards you see in chain of memories! I also have an older signature too!"

Such much cute pokemon art! I guess it goes without saying that you're a fan? What else motivates and inspires you? What made you start drawing?
"I LOVE Pokemon! Ever since when I was little I remember watching the show on TV, the movies, and playing the games! My first pokemon game was pokemon diamond for the ds and that was also the first time I got to use wifi! XD I like the cute small pokemon the most like pikachu and budew! I have many other favorites too! I got my inspiration to draw from watching cartoons and anime! I'm like "I want to make stuff like this!" I love story, character development, and character designing! My weaknesses are drawing landscapes and objects. T v T my two younger sisters inspired me to draw too! My Motivation to draw comes to me randomly so it's kinda like a lottery!"

How did you come across Colors? You've been here since 2014 so that's 10 years! What would you say kept you in our humble community all this time?
"I was first introduced to Colors!3D by my little sister Jessica! She insisted that I should get it and eventually I did! At first I had no account so I floated around colors like a ghost but I did end up at some point making an account! I think what kept me here at colors was my wonderful loyal friends and my undying passion for art!! I never want to leave! colors feels like it has become a part of who I am and a comfortable place I can call home!"

Is Colors your primary art tool? What else do you use and how does Colors fit that process if you do? Are there any future features you want to see in Colors Live?
"Colors is my primary way of making art but before I had gotten Colors I drew in my big sketch book! I attempted drawing on a tablet once using photoshop but the screen was too big and the art program I used was complicated. I tried at least! Any future features? Maybe a tool that can help artist draw straight lines with ease? Especially diagonally, it's pretty tricky to make nice clean lines! It would also be nice to have something that helps with creating small animated scenes like a gif? I've seen artist create animations using the playback feature on art pieces posted on colors! And I'd love a thin sketch brush for sketching if possible? Would it be silly to want music in the background when browsing colors live gallery on switch? Maybe something upbeat and cheerful like the music you used to hear on the Nintendo dsi shop? I'd also like a sonar pen that is easier to use, something that feels like a natural pencil!"
Colors art that you're most proud of?
"The art I'm most proud of? I'd say my art piece I entered into the weekly challenge #wc382 with the title "Let's go"! I was really happy with how it turned out, especially since the style was tricky to work with. As an artist I like to challenge myself so I tried to use as little tools as possible! I'm also proud of my most recent drawing "A title of some sort" because I struggle drawing the human figure but I was very happy with how he turned out. I'm sure everyone knows I'm a big Satoru Gojo fan by now! If you don't mind me mentioning one more art piece I'm proud of it is called "Domino's Baby Sitting Service". I was proud of this one because I tried getting out of my comfort zone and drew a background. I tried to fit in as many characters as possible too, I wanted to create a lively scene with bright colors and details!"

Favorite artist on and off Colors?
"Favorite artist on and off colors? I have alot of favorite artists on colors so it's hard to choose! I have a favorite artist on Twitter? Their name is @nonbiriiii0204 their art is so cute and bright!"
If you could start over your drawing career are there any ways you would change how you approach art? What made you advance the fastest in your opinion? What may have held you back?
"Start over my art career? I'd say I'd probably attempt a different art platform for drawing if I started over, I've always wanted to be a manga artist and create my own animated series! For my new approach to art I'd try writing my story as a novel first and use it as a map to draw out the manga! I'd also need a team of passionate people who could help me make it happen! I advanced my art skills through lots of practice and experimenting with different ideas! I think what has held me back was my lack of confidence and tiredness from daily life activities, especially my current job. It can get difficult to get motivated to draw sometimes after a long exhausting day from work."
What are your plans for the future?
"Future? Like for art? I'm gonna try getting my 3ds modded so I can post on colors 3d again! I also plan on practicing more on my switch and sketch book too! Very exciting! It's not art related but I really want to own a house!"
Art advice for up-and-comers?
"Advice for new comers? I'd say never give up on your dreams as an artist no matter what! If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! You learn best from trial and error, but also remember that no one is perfect! We can all learn together!"
What's your opinion on art style? How does one develop one? Or is it better to focus on the technical stuff?
"Opinion on art style? I'd say it's good to experiment with different styles till you find the one you're most comfortable with! You can start developing a style by making sketches and work from there!"
What kind of artist would you say you are? A planner or more intuitive?
"Type of artist I am? I'm a planner, I map out the images in my head and draw it out of my head with a stylus! I also write down notes of what I want to add in later so that if I stop midway in my progress I'll be less likely to forget what it was."
Anyone you want to shout-out?
"Shout out? Hmmm maybe a shout out to @prometheus, @razrdraws , @crimsontears , @mewsea , @fuu-min , @pineapplechan_ and @__cinnabunn__ ! Their all really nice people! There's alot of other nice artists on colors too!"
