Inspiration & Challenges

We often use “not being inspired” as an excuse to not drawing, there are moments where you may just not feel like it, and that’s ok, but if you don’t feel like practicing today watch a movie or series, read a book, scroll through social media and you may happen to stumble upon an image that triggers your creative brain.

Art challenges on Instagram are a great way to find inspiration, you may not feel like coming up with a whole concept for a drawing and challenges guide you towards a goal, they are often a lot of fun and having a subject makes you narrow down the possibilities and not dwell on details.

Use your free time to collect visual

information.

Don’t wait for inspiration to fall from the sky, that’s a mistake a lot of people make. Make fanarts from movies or books you like, that helps you connect with other people and find common interests.

I get a lot of my inspiration from fantasy books, series, and movies, from other artists I admire, music and emotions. The chaos in your head sometimes can become a really cool concept that you can look back on and think “I was really not having a good day that time, but it helped me create something”.
