Your art vs your inspirations

[Anonymous No.4200356]

I posted the guide on how to start drawing from imagination yesterday >>4197159 and I want to keep the positivity & encouragement going so here's an idea for a thread. Post your work from imagination and things that inspire you - not references or inspiring artists, just things/concepts that you find cool and inspire you to create. Kind of a moodboard. It can be about the specific drawing or just you as an artist in general. I'd love to see how you all see the world and maybe find some new inspirations for myself

I'll start

This is from imagination, sorry about sideways, mobile

My inspirations are: cute, small, exaggerated proportions/motions, subtle motions, feeling connections to the media you are consuming, build up and release, emotional art, and realism in the things that are happening

your perspective is fucked here. The top of the VW is both below and above the horizon line. Looks weird.

[Anonymous No.4200843]

>>4200842
also the character needs to be shifted forward/downward so they're actually on the edge of the horizon line because it looks like they're floating atm

[Anonymous No.4200864]

>>4200356
Before I fucked my back, I was obsessed with martial arts and used to do boxing. I mostly do character art now, and the people that inspired me and show in my art (in some way or another) are people like Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Buakaw, Anderson Silva, Manny Pacqiau Roberto Duran, George Foreman, Cassius Clay, Mirko Cro Cop, etc.

For example, if I draw a boxer, I'd draw them resembling or behaving like Jack Dempsey. In that case, even having them do the infamous "dempsey roll".

Not him but I sketch a lot because I'm addicted to pencil and I love the look of it. Not just my sketches, I think pencil animation looks better than the final cleanup. At best I can throw some watercolor on but I feel like I can say everything I have to say with pencil.

there could be a nice creative thread instead of troll or stupid meta ones, people. there are 36 replies here and 5 actual answers. how is this board supposed to work if you cant share your art because if you dare to share, someone will tell you you're fucking bland and your art is shit and it proves that you never went through any hardship? like how did you even come up with that answer? can you at least roast OP but answer the actual question so theres at least some illusion of productivity here? or are we just reduced to being dickheads to each other now?

I was going to make something for this but it made me realize my piece-by-piece influences are all too different to put into a comprehensive board. I don't like to repeat the same themes and subjects across all my work unless it's for the same story/characters, I want variety.

I'm just saying it cause I think the viewpoint of "inspiration" Op presented with his board and repeating the same visual motifs over and over again is kind of silly and leads to uninspired, samey work. I looked over his thing on drawing from imagination and it seemed like it would be useful for artists who struggle with that, but presenting inspiration like this just seems so trite and honestly uninspired. It is like just repeating a bunch of visual themes over and over again with no regard for trying to do something more original

dude this is completely self contradictory. how can you even judge someone's inspirations? artists have been inspired by shit like farmers and beggars and created art that is hanging in museums now, of course im not saying my inspirations lead to art that hangs in museum, but im trying to say that peoples minds work in completely different ways, someone can get inspired by a piece of bread and create a masterpiece and someone can have the most bizzare ideas and create boring art. am i supposed to sit down and think about the most unique and original inspirations to force into my head because mine are considered basic by someone? im just trying to be as honest as possible, i dont want to create an edgy artsy persona that has nothing to do with me. im a simple person i dont know how to put it other way. it would be great if people filled this thread with their extra diverse avantgarde inspirations so i could pick some up and get better instead of trying to discourage everyone.

i really regret posting the guide in the first place, i wanted to help someone and get others to help me but majority of responses im getting is nonstop discouragement. even when i try to answer honestly i just get "please stop" or "copy more".

[Anonymous No.4203539]

>>4203528
>>4203537
also i have no clue where you got the idea that im encouraging anyone to repeat their inspirations and get stuck in the same motifs over and over. i just asked to post whatever inspirations people have, not "post your absolute inspiration map that you apply to every artwork and never changes"

[Anonymous No.4203549]

>>4203528
Having clearly defined influences and personal style is anything BUT trite and uninspired (hurrr having inspirations is uninspired).

If you think creating varied work that is undefined and all over the map, and if your work doesn't have any repeating styles of motifs, I hate to say it but your work is probably very bland and trite itself.

[Anonymous No.4203600]

Finally posting, this was actually quite a nice exercise to keep myself focused and reevaluate my influences.

Apart from the things mentioned in the image, I'm also really inspired by Akira, Blade Runner, GotS, Berserk, MGS series, Souls series and Bloodborne, among other things that I can't think of off the top of my head.

So dope, I love it! your style sort of reminds me of moebius style but I guess that's coming more from the tin-tin inspiration. Anyway your influences clearly show through in your art, amazing work.
>>4204177
I like your artwork, like the other guy said, I'm not necessarily seeing some of your influences in there but I'm sure it will start to shine through as you improve. Would in interested to see more how you incorporate the y2k aesthetic into your work
>>4205131
I like it, you're obviously still playing around with your artstyle but you have some really interesting influences, I would say you could possibly try incorporating more colour into your work but there's no hard in focusing on drawing for now. I'm not actually a fan of drawing mechs, but I'll check out the artists you recommended thanks!
>>4200585
Interesting influences, generally not my type of thing but your artstyle is really cool, I'm always impressed by how people can pull off intensely saturated colours.
>>4200565
I strongly suggest you buy a sketchbook and a bunch of fine-line pens and just draw exclusively in your sketchbook for like a year (at least 6 months) this will help you to develop your artstyle and achieve a similar confidence with lines that your influences show
>>4200546

As for post-industrial stuff, i'm fascinated by the all compasing scope of the neoliberal consensus, like, after the keynesian world order post ww2 it took like one shitty year for the economy for people to renounce it, and instead embrace privatizations and other stuff that by the 90s became mainstream and common both among the ''center-left'' and ''center-right'' as exemplified by new labour under Blair and the democrats under Clinton. That's the explaination for the Thatcher puppet
