JudasIsAHolyFoo 3,278 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So probably like most of you Lady Gaga is my biggest inspiration , but I have a major problem... In November it'll be time for me to apply for University and I'm applying to some illustration courses because I want to illustrate Young Adult novels and do Concept Art for things like TV shows and Moives. These courses require A LOT of original work, and I can't seem to be able to think of anything creative to draw, so I end up using photos as references and draw things from Gaga to The Wizard of Oz to Doctor. What do you guys do to get inspiration? I really need advice please! Also show me your work below I wanna see! Get some inspiration from those!

Mythos 3,196 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I never used Gaga as my insipiration, i love her music, but for everything else i got my books, mangas/animes from when i was younger and so on. Just try to read as much as possible, visit some blogs. here is one of my favoriteshttp://zeroing.tumblr.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Aaaaahhh I know your pain all too well. sometimes, I go for months on end without inspirstion and then one day I'll wake up super early to start writing (this is actually a true story lol) because I'm so inspired. A suggestion would be to take some coloring pencils or paint and just let your hand go free. Don't think about it. Just draw how you feel. Draw with your heart. Not your brain (I realize how cliché that counds). Maybe play music too. You'll eventually be inspired. Just be you. Seek inspiration in yourself. ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McQ 106 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I meditate until I'm fully refreshed and literally empty my mind.Then I do something ''organic'' - take a late night walk in the park by myself, wake up really early and feast the sunrise/ go observe the sunset. I've noticed that when I'm being a good and generous person I am really inspired.I try to be in a good place, being fresh and happy and problems-free really lets my imagination, creativity and inspiration blossom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwerk 6,606 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Clear your mind. I get inspiration from walking around, watching people, nature. Museums are also a great source of inspiration. But it usually just comes to me. I find I'm most inspired when my mind is clear. When I really need to be creative, I usually cant think of anything cause I'm forcing my brain.whenever I think of something at a random moment, I write it down on my phone. And when I see an interesting thing/coloursheme/shape I take a pic.usually the most random things inspire me. According to Gaga I'm a ****ing rad bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,364 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 When I draw people, I enjoy creating my own characters. I feel like it's more creative than simply replicating a photo or person, and not having a real face to copy helps me develop my artistic style. I think being able to develop characters and poses and backstories from scratch would be especially important if you aspire to do comics or graphic novels Try creating maybe a nature Goddess, a chic villainess, or a scifi hero. I believe in ü Would love to see examples of ur work <3 I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
