Inspirations

          Finally, I think I'll talk about my top 2 art inspirations on the internet. I usually don't express these to people outside the internet, but I figured it would be a nice ending for this art blog. The following artists inspire me and make me want to keep drawing, to become like them one day.They push me out of my comfort zone and help me try new fields of artwork. Everyday, I work with different coloring styles, line art styles, and most of all anatomy practice. This is a essential part of being an artist in any field of art. One must always try their best and always have patience with what they want to do. Patience is the key to success.

•        My first inspiration that I have found online happens to be my boyfriend. He keeps me going and tells me to draw every day. I'm extremely happy that I found someone that loves to draw just as much as I do.I've already shown art of his so I don't think I should spam a lot on him.

•       My second inspiration happens to be an very talented artist that I found on Deviantart.com.I've touched slightly on her art in another post, but I wanted to show more of it. Her username is griffsnuff and her art is beyond amazing. Her style is crisp, perfect, smooth, colorful , and eye-catching. She also draws quickly which is a really good habit to have when drawing digital. I believe she already has an art job creating character designs for a game company. A full on game company. And the best part? She's only 22. Now she is lucky to have such a chance to be able to do this. Here is some of her art of hers. All of the following art is copyright http://griffsnuff.deviantart.com/. It is not mine:

        She uses photoshop to draw most of her art, and she only uses one layer. I probably end up using 6-10 layers on a standard art piece so using one is pretty amazing. I wish to draw like her one day and have enough confidence to try even more things with my own style and art.


        I do have a lot of inspirations, but It would take me forever to list all of them on this blog. The main things I look for when trying to see what styles to grow from as an artist are:

• Smooth Lineart
• Crisp colors that blend together nicely
• Colorful painted backgrounds
• They vary in what they draw with different animals, people, realistic, etc.
• They are consistent with their art style (I don't want someone that draws really well in one and then completely bombs the next one.)
• Their own ideas. (I want artists that just don't just draw what everyone else does, but varies in their own creations)

     When trying to improve on your artwork, it's a really good idea to have several inspirations that all vary in art styles. It helps you realize different types of art that you may incorporate into your own style!
