What inspires you? What art do you like?
8 years ago
Hey all! I've been a little absent from the interwebs art sites since I have gotten quite busy with school and it hasn't left me with much free time at all. I have barely found the time to draw anything that doesn't correspond to school, which has been really draining. This week has been rough and I still have not exactly managed to get back on the ball without feeling some sort of stress over what I have to churn out, so I might be a little withdrawn. If its interesting to you guys though, I can try to post some sketchbook drawings or even class based work that I am making.
I figured a fun journal would be nice and keep up the interaction with my watchers (along with bring together some place to check up on for inspiration or feedback or just chit chat and whatnot).
So. What inspires you? Whether its drawing, working, or having the energy to finish that one big gross work project by your deadline: what (or who) inspires you?
On the theme of art, what kind of art do you like and find most impressive or pleasing to look at? Why?
For me, my inspiration comes from an assortment of artists and just artwork that I run into daily online. Youtube also has some really cool "sketchbook tour" videos that are always really inspiring and get those creative juices flowing. Sometimes even just listening to a song and focusing and paying attention to what I 'see' or imagine when I hear the song is also really inspiring.
In terms of what artwork I really like or find impressive, my artistic tastes of what I find appealing varies very largely! I admire a lot of fine artists with incredible attention for detail, technical skill, and compositional skill in oil paintings, but I also really really admire super creative and technically skilled sci-fi fantasy drawings. I also love sketches, whether colored or uncolored, that are emotive and have lots of energy, beautiful and detailed watercolor pieces. I aLSO really like animation illustration approaches, with simple silhouettes and more exaggerated features. But when it comes to casually browsing online and the content I like to seek out, well drawn monsters and creatures with character are really fun. Lots of stuff!
How about you?
