what..what is my inspiration? lets find out.

Honestly, it took me a while to figure out what really inspired me, even though it's really obvious to myself. Its just when i was asked the question, and told to write about it, my mind went blank and i wasnt sure. But after a helpful break on tumblr it all came flooding back to me in one swift motion.

1.pictures

Pictures are like blank canvases for writers. You can take the picture anywhere and you can transform that place into anything you can imagine, the scene is all yours. Pictures can also be just as much inspiration for writing as it can be for drawing. Sometimes i get a feeling where i really want to draw but i dont know what to draw, and other times i have an idea but i need some images to smooth out the lines and help the drawing turn out more completely. of course if you draw from a picture, meaning copy the persons work, you should credit the original idea to the main artist.

2.Music

 

Pale by Within Temptation

After The Storm by Mumford and Sons

and of course you cant forget the infamous Lord the Rings soundtrack

 

music is another one of those things that can lead your mind in any direction. Its a little cliche, and of course everyone is a little inspired by music, but when it comes to being creative, music is of up most importance. sometimes when you wanna write about sadness but aren't feeling particularly sad Boom! theres a song for that. When you want to write about something action-ie happening, and completely dangerous but arent feeling like that much of a daring wild cat Boom! Theres a song for that! or maybe your getting saucy and feeling like you want your characters to go out on in a night on the town, or to a club to dance the night away Boom! There are MANY songs for that out there. Anyhow, same goes with drawing, music can take you down many roads and fill your head with a multitude of ideas.

 

3.Daily life

 

well of course, id write about things i can relate to, and things that i know others can relate to. Now when i say relate to, i mean emotionally, cause most people cant relate to having their closest friend dying in a hideous attempt to keep them safe, or a lover being sacrificed to a wild beast in an attempt to keep the other out of harm, but people can empathize with those feelings and imagine what it would be like to go through that. Drawing is kinda harder to put into this category. Drawing in itself isnt really something someone has to relate too, however your daily life can play part in what ideas inspire you.

and lastly

4.Cats

 

 ok ok, so maybe cats dont REALLY inspire me to write or draw but i mean COME ON! these adorable and MAJESTIC creatures always put me in such a good mood! they make me happy and they make me giggle! in a way they inspire me by just...making me laugh and putting me in the mode to do things.
