Inspired you?

[nosfarartu]

what art books or artists, or even learn to draw.. books influenced or inspired you to draw and does it reflect in you own work?

[███]

Nothing inspires me to draw, simply because I am not inspired to draw.

[SSDynamite]

All my manga. Also, the Redwall books and 'The boyfriend list"

Usually though, I just draw when I'm angry.

[Mmmmmmmmmm]

Nothing INSPIRES me to draw. I just get books that HELP you draw. And I still suck.

[Datenshi]

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.

William Blake's The Ancient of Days.

[Amray The II]

I can not draw..only attempt.
I would have to say Manga and character design sketches from games and anime.

[rikumi]

I don't actually know.....but I get inspiration from random anime and manga O_O

[Music Fiend]

i can draw, but i have never utilized an artist instructional book. you could say i took a liking to the drawings and styles in MegaTokyo, but it is barely, if at all, reflected in my work.

one time, i did a drawing of Link, in the character style used in Twilight Princess, where i had a picture next to me and drew from it. but i drew him differently, as far as body positioning, his facial expression, his gauntlet designs, his hair length, i gave him two blades to wield...a few other factors.


but, i just...draw, for the most part. whenever i get that urge to put something in my head down on a canvas or a piece of paper..i do. or try to at least.

Looking at kawaii images inspires me to draw them or something similar to them. I love the Sanrios(especially Cinnamoroll and Keroppi) and Pucca. Also I like some of the cute Pokemon and Digimon I have seen.

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

I can draw different kinds. Weather, kinda like a charcoal-like, or anime. For the anime, I like all the types of it, but I like that Korean Manwha, Angel Diary<3 That's one of the art that inspired me ^^

I love manwha drawings too, but I am really not great at drawing.
I do not even hold a pencil correctly.
I have tried to draw characters from 1000 and 1 Nights, but the characters looked more look mr. potato heads then real people.

[.Lovebeat]

I think Dragon Ball inspired me to start drawing manga-like characters.

But when I was really small everyone was drawing princesses, and so did I. Can't really say anything inspired me. Sonic the Hedgehog was an inspiration too because I thought it was cool, especially because my big brother always played the games. xD

Ahem, I don't draw anymore though.

[Diocletian]

It was Pokemon.I drew my whole Pokemon team when I was younger.Sad to say, but I was a much better artist back when I was 10 than I am now.I pay too much attention to detail and ruin the initial intention of the picture.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

The unique thing about me is, is that I learn from everyone and use their ideas to make myself even better!! ^^ Anyways, pretty much anything can inspire me and spark my mind. I always love to be enlightened and no, the things I learn or inspire me do not always directly express my artwork or anything, but they're always good for a reference

[Envy]

Manga! Uh...yeah...a manga book
Konkon taught me! (Not litterally)
Konkon kon kon by Koge Donbo
I started drawing in no time!(Even though I'm bad at it...) I drew Kitsunes!

[yilin]

hmmm... the first thing I draw is a frog... coz, It's our project at school... I think I'm on grade 3 that time... I'm so inspired to draw that time coz I want to be neil... at the art attack show.... ^^ and that was the time I'm starting to draw some animes and joining contests....^^

[jnLL]

before, i watch the art attack show, haha ! my favorite one ! but they don't have it now...
i've learned many design tips there . .
and i usually get anime/manga drawings on the net to help me . .

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.

Datenshi-san, you draw?!?

I can't draw to save my life... >_< But when I see Kouga Yun, Okama, Ogasawara Tomofumi, or CLAMP's art, I wish I could.

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

I..get inspiration from my own feelings o.o When i don't have feelings to draw...i don't draw

[ichigoangel06]

actually when i first started to watch anime and i started to manga.....i thought to myself...."it would be really cool if i learned how to draw and make my own anime"^^.....one part of that came true......i draw now

[Happi Giraffe!]

i think the books that really got me into art and all that were those done by chris van allsburg. i just love how he draws. it sorta inspires me.

[Rem Nightfall]

The books and the writing style that has really inspired me is Edgar Allan Poe.
His books are so inspiring and so amazing.
They give me tons of ideas and what if scenarios.
My goal is to become the next Edgar Allan Poe.

[Mortal_Engines]

I'm not sure if you've heard of him but a great artist is H.R.Giger.
He designed the monster from the film Alien and his art is all surreal and twisted. Ever since I was shown him in art class I've used him every year since.

[Sailor Mystery]

all my manga/anime, also when I saw my cousin start drawing and how amazing she was, I wanted to be like her too, so I look at her drawings and she helps me too.

[Sanosuke23]

The only drawing instruction that ever stuck was starting with basic shapes and working your way up. Everything else is a hodgepodge of what I think looks good and/or proper.
