hello! it's totally fine, it was a fun surprise@Dubious Disc hope it's okay that I tag you into this game!
Just curious, what/who are some of your biggest inspirations when it comes to art? And what kind of things did you draw when you were first starting out (if you still remember)? I'd be interested to know!
I've never actually thought much about my inspirations, but I'd say music is definitely a big one? Like sometimes I'll be listening to a song and it'll suddenly spark something like "hey, I could draw something now!" Often when I draw a character, it's because I've been listening to their theme music and it just got me in the right mindset. I sometimes like looking at other artists for inspiration, like glancing through the other art threads here, but I try not to rely on that too much since it often leads to me comparing myself to them, and I've been trying to cut down on that. (Of course, the real answer is that the inspiration worm in my head sometimes randomly emits a beam of art energy and I just roll with it lol)
I've been drawing pretty much ever since I was a tiny bean person with just enough manual dexterity to hold a crayon, so I guess I just drew a lot of scribbles lol. I still have a lot of sketchbooks from my childhood that are full of incomprehensible doodles. A lot of my earlier drawings as a kid were just random people, sometimes little stories and comics and stuff, and when I first got into digital art I drew a lot of cats...I was in a Warriors phase...fifth grade was a different time.... Honestly, I could probably write a whole essay about the progression of my art, I've got a lot to work with lol
@DawningWinds If you could attend Hexside, which track(s) would you want to study?
