A few questions for artists?
    #19234660 - 12/06/13 12:21 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

How do you come up with the ideas or inspiration for your art?  (I'm referring to drawings, paintings etc.)  Do you sell your art?  What's your style, and your preferred media (paint, pencils, pastels)??

Sometimes I like to start out a sketch by making random lines (curved, straight, zig-zags).  I keep combining the lines til I get strange shapes, and I shade certain things in.  Often I'll fill up the page.  Like these

I have no particular objective or idea of what I'm drawing in the beginning and in the end interesting figures appear unintentionally.  These are fun and easy to do.  Theyre also fun to manipulate in different ways via photoshop.


  I have a hard time drawing something from nothing however I can sketch out what I see with great precision.  If you told me to draw someone riding a bicycle with no visual reference, it would be difficult for me.  But if you told me to draw that guy right in front of me riding the bicycle, no problem.  The thing is, drawing exactly what you see is not quite art in my opinion, just reproduction. 

One thing I like to do is come up with a surreal scene in my mind and find images which I can combine together to form a unique work of art.  Back in school we had this project where we went through magazines, cut/pasted different images together in order to make a scene which we would sketch.
