what inspires your artwork

[scruffy and blue]

hi this is my first topic/reply on this form i hope this is it the right section

i recently got into art again and i just wondered what inspires your artwork aka why do you draw what you draw and the way you draw it

I like landscapes so going outside inspires me. The way light hits a certain tree or an interesting tangle of roots will oft times light the spark.
On the opposite side after nearly 30 years I still play Dungeons and Dragons and the stories and characters created there inspire me as well.

What inspires me? Just coming here and seeing how good other artists are and that as long as I keep practicing, I'll hopefully eventually achieve a similiar level of skill.

competition. it doesn't matter if they're professionals, students, or novices. they drive me to push the boundaries of my skills to achieve the highest level of realism and technique, and then work towards the development of my individual style. hopefully one day, my hard work will pay off.

Paint, the stuff just reeks of possibilities... I can never have enough.

Best,

fear, loathing and love.

Forcing to remind myself that everything is a matter of perspective/ perception. To look at things differently. Reminding myself that there are no rules in Life.

When I train myself to look at things differently, things once perceived as nothing or boring get REALLY interesting suddenly!

I usually draw to tell stories, role playing makes me draw, conversations make me draw, parties make me draw, jokes make me draw.

The idea that I want to be accepted at the art academy and to see you guys drawing such amazing stuff. I really feel this site is going to help me tons.
