1. To start off, what is your favorite medium and tools to use?
2. When you draw, do you plan everything out first, or do you just see where the drawing takes you?
Both. But I will try to plan everything out first before start a drawing for most of the time. Some times the outcome will be out of my expectations.
3. On average, how long do you spend on a drawing?
On average, about 4 days....1 week sometime......or 1 month.....eeee.
4. When did you first start drawing, and what made you start to draw in the manga/anime style?
Ranma (c) Rumiko Takahashi!!At the age of 10… I thinks (start my very first comic and drawing), I start drawing in the mange /anime style after reading the Candy Candy when in age of 14 (I very very like to draw the face of the candy’s best friend), then Sailormoon, Ranma© Rumiko Takahashi and Gundam Wing! Especially the Ranma© Rumiko Takahashi is biggest influence for my future manga art styles!

Many….it can be from a movie, anime, song lyrics, any painting, poems…
