    Grin What inspires you?

    What inspires you to create art? I am inspired by many things. A great many songs put images in my head. My friends always ask for character pics, so that inspires me too.

    I just wanted to learn a little bit more about my fellow artists.

    Thank you, Nominus. :P

    This thread can be taken out back and shot, then.

    Yeah but inspiration isn't why I draw.

    Music is the only thing that can get me drawing. If there is no music, there is simply no art, I have no real reasoning. I think what inspires me and why I create art are two different things.

    If I was in art class, I create art because I'm told to, I could be inspiration free.
    But I only draw if I'm inspired, if I'm not, I just don't do anything. I draw to the music, so when the music changes so will the picture.

    Ironically enough, inspiration is not the reason I draw, it's just what gets me wanting to. In my mind those are two different questions.. For me atleast.

    That one is way old. Didn't realize that someone had bumped it. I say we go with this new thread.

    What inspires me to create art is other photographers. Everytime I see a great photographer, I want to go out and create something myself.

    And sunsets inspire me every single time I watch them.

    Whenever something pops up when thinking of a new chapter for my novel in the writer's corner or playing games.Usually things just pop up of nowhere and I draw them out.

    I can get inspired by anything. Music, nature, other works of art, movies etc. inspire me quite a bit, though.

    So many things inspire me in different ways.

    Sometimes I'll just see something, something ordinary, and I'll see it on a different idea. I'll take a picture of it -- any element can spark what I see to be signifiactly interesting from certain angles.

    When it comes to music, all that I need is a thought or feeling. And put myself in a nice peaceful and safe-to-my-mind place. If I'm comfortable enough, I won't even pay attention to the mechanics and it'll just flow.

    With drawing, I will just take an idea, one that stands out. That's all it needs.

    Of course, other artists/musicians can spark numerous amounts of ideas and feelings. So it's always important to listen to anything you can, or to check out as much art as you can.

    Anything but silence. I hate silence. I gotta have music or the TV on.

    Sometimes, something as simple as going outside and taking a deep breath can inspire me to create something.
