1) Do you want to tell us something about yourself and your art?

I am Noaihere. I don’t do art, Picasso did art. I just draw some boobs.

2) What techniques do you use to draw? Do you have a favorite artist that inspires you?

I don’t think I have much to say about techniques… I don’t overlay my sketches with lineart. Once I am happy with the poses, expressions, anatomy, layout etc. I add colors, sometimes basic shades and move to another drawing. To me, sketching is the most interesting part. About the artists… the first ones I think of are Wtfeather, IldCat, Taroutk, Muriyari Egao, Harrishero.

3) How much was the passion for drawing born in you? And the one for the tickle?

I started drawing in my high school. Our art classes included figural drawing from a live model. It sparked in me a desire to learn it properly and be good at it. It took me almost another 10 years before I thought I got the basics good enough to post something online.

About the tickle, I guess I was born with it… I remember liking tickling ever since I started liking girls.

4) What are the tickling scenarios that you prefer to draw?

Characters I like and find attractive. I enjoy it more when the girl actually doesn’t like it. The more she struggles, the hotter I find the scene to be.

5) What are the aspects of tickling that you intend to represent with your art? Example: the laughing, the wriggling, the relationship between tickler and ticklee?

The answer may be somewhat controversial though. Best thing about tickling art is that there is huge range of emotions you can express as you go through different stages, setups and personalities of your characters: challenge, discomfort, nervousness, trust, fear, contempt, anger, humiliation, resist, the edge, hysteria, despair, pleading, submission, exhaustion. All these emotions can be hot if you express them properly.

6) Online there are countless photos and videos of tickling sessions. In your opinion, what do illustrations offer more than images of real life?

Possibility totickle fictional characters from anime, games, your OCs etc. More freedom when it comes to the poses, facial expressions, the setups, stories. There are things you could hardly simulate outside the drawing canvas.

7) In your opinion, what makes tickling so interesting for fans of this phenomenon?

It will differ person to person, but generally i would say the power play, and physical reactions, control loss of the ticklee.

8) What are your works of which you are most proud?

Hard to say, probably Lucifer, Arlecchino 2 and Kirara 2.

9) Do you have any particular artistic goals for the future?

Most of my artistic goals are skill related. Better expressions, character vibe transfer, anatomy, perspective, clothing, shading, environments, gesture, composition, comics building, animations… I want to see how good I can be in another 10 years if I don’t fall asleep in my comfort zone, and will keep trying to improve and challenge myself. Maybe not much at all… we will see.

10) Do you think AIs will end up enriching or impoverishing the art of tickling representations?

Unfortunately, AI has improved dramatically over the past few years to the point it is possible to generate images looking better than most of the stuff made by amateur artists out there on DA or Pixiv. To me, it has stolen a big part of the magic and prestige coming from being able to draw. You spend years – thousands of hours acquiring a skill that suddenly seems a lot cheaper. On the other hand, it forces you to search for the meaning and motivation in the drawing process itself, and in fact it is your own work that you are left with in the end. It is exactly my disagreement with this whole AI shit situation that made me choose the name I have.
