＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚　**FAQs**　˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊ Please feel welcome to ask me anything at any time, I'm an open book! ♥ But if you would rather lurk or need a reference while I'm offline, here are the most common questions that I get ~ hope it helps! ♥ ★ **What materials are you using?** >Copic liners, Kuretake watercolor, arches hot press watercolor paper ★ **What does your name mean?** >Oaktea is a type of medicinal tea made from the bark of white oak trees. I love herbology, and you can often find this symbolism in my art! ♥ ★ **When is [insert thing here that Oak needs to do] going to happen?** >I am really slow at everything, sorry!! I do all of this myself and it's a lot of work; if you are waiting on something from me (for example, a giveaway prize) don't worry, I do keep track of everything and I make sure it goes out, but it can take a while sometimes ~ thank you for your patience! 💖 ★ **Are you playing copyrighted music?** >Yes ~ however, I pay a music service for the rights to play the music on my stream. If you like what you hear and would like to sign up to use music for your projects, I highly recommend [Epidemic Sound](https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/q95n0t/) <--and if you use that link and sign up for the service, you'll be supporting my stream as well! ♥ ★ **What are your influences as an artist?** >I love everything retro (60s-90s)--fashion, anime and manga, art etc. Artists that inspire me include CLAMP, Leiji Matsumoto, Haiyao Miyazaki, Junji Ito, Ai Yazawa, Naoko Takeuchi, Aubrey Beardsley, Egon Schiele, and numerous, numerous others! ★ **What setup do you recommend for traditional art streamers?** > This is a bit complicated and I want to make a youtube video to actually answer this question in depth 😂 but to answer as best I can, it takes a while to put together a good setup unless you have a lot of money right away. So do the best you can, there is nothing wrong with assembling as you go! ♥
