Day 3: Finding inspiration

Bought in Breman, Germany
at the Christmas Market

Yesterday, I managed to find my small sketchbook. I've been drawing little medieval-styled creatures over the last 2 weeks and that's what I usually gravitate towards immediately when I open my drawing book. I opened it up and promptly blanked. I didn't know what to draw so I looked around my desk and found the little incense burner I bought in Germany last year. The sketch turned out well and will definitely be posting that to Instagram tomorrow.

Over the last couple of months, I've become analytical about my means of inspiration. I look at a lot of art, and much of my consistent perusing is because I want quality wallpaper, and I only select art that speaks to me. I know exactly what I want - use of color, space and shapes. All together, there's a particular flow to the piece. When something inspires me, I often replicate the feel (most times use of space) and not the actual general look of the piece.

Today's Goals: a sketch, work on art project (Yellow Guard), art course review, researching terms and conditions concept, flesh out more art stuff on this blog.
