Hey duder,

Im kinda a beginner , but not at the same time. Ive never had any one teach me .. just a couple of books here and there. I was hoping you could steer me in a direction that would help getting better. You have some awsome video tutorials which i only just found so theyre goin to help alot.

But i think im also interested in how you find 'inspiration' and get ideas. I love to draw but wen it comes to it , i get easily distracted and as soon as pencil hits the paper , ideas disappear. Was wondering wat you did in the early days to combat things like this. Did you just forcefully develop habits like practicing form in the mornings and getting familiar with it. Or did you go and research to inspire yourself?

lol.. after watching some of your videos theres so many questions i have. Im goin to stop now coz ill rattle on forever.

Thanks,

Thanks man!  I often look for old master (sergent, zorn) for inspiration in painting, comp, lighting and skills.  I also read books by Richard Smidth numerous times.  I also look for inspiration from Old manga, anime and comics...1970s, 1980s, and 1990s....all the new ones sometimes (most new anime also derives from these older architypes.)  Also I look around on line for awesome artists like Graig, Sparth, Vyle, etc...too many to mention.
I love Ferzetta, Mucha...Terada
The longer you get involve in art...the more you will know where to look for inspiration.  I can only show you a glimpse of what I have in my head.

Thanks again,
peace!

If you need subjects to draw, try drawing stuff you like, or are interested in. If you go
for objects you have. You can also better check if reached the result you want. If you
go for a realistic style I guess.

My self, I'm really interested in the German Democratic Republic. Often use the Soviet
Union as inspiration. Also researching helps a lot to get ideas. I found loads of propaganda
posters I use to get the right idea.
