What inspires and motivates you?

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 1, 2009, 6:17 PM
See, being me, I'm interested in what others say about their art and what really inspires (or aspires) them. Most of my art life I've had trouble actually getting started with a piece and usually completing a piece. People have recommended I disconnect myself completely from the internet on my Art computer, which does in fact work (done recently). But really, I need something to be inspired by to get going, I usually come on dA and look through some art and opinions. Over the last 2-3 months I've been caught between doing Web Development and going to an Art School in Taita, New Zealand. I would love to do Art / Illustration for a living, instead of something boring like code.

So really, what inspires and motivates you to start and finish a piece?

Awww...:hug: I was on the same stoop not so long ago. :C i reckon that you should try all three of them. that way, you'll learn a plethora of skills (doesn't matter if they don't seem relevant) and you'll be at a high advantage when it comes to looking for a spot in the industry! that's what i'm planning to do xD

thanks for the watch, wonderful manga style, keep it!!!
:icondiedrupo:
nice, you should have saved up your government welfare money for a Cintiq 21UX. I just found out they have a new model of it that is as good as the 12WX, but of course with the more kickass bigger screen and resolution.
:iconqueueman:
I
a) am not on welfare, it's a student allowance.
b) worked over the summer for my 12WX.

But yeah, when I get to use my 12WX, I love it. I don't think I'll ever be able to touch a normal tablet again.
