l think that if you're an artist, someday you have been with no inspiration or do not know what to draw. Well right now I am in that phase, usually what do you do to get inspiration?

It depends on what you're trying to do - if u just want to get better, u do not need inspiration, just pick an object & draw it. Keep doing it until u show improvement.

In terms of actual inspiration, it just happens. Ca not do anything to make it happen sooner, but u can create an environment that makes it happen more often. It is different for everyone & something u just have to tune into about yourself.

Oh, & draw what u like.

Hope this helps.

Try mind mapping if you know what that is. Also, go to art shows, or theater. If that does not jump start inspiration draw a still life or scapes, or portraits to help start your creative side. l also used to read books and drew the characters on how they would look. Your mind might need some stimulus of some kind.

l see disney cartoons & get inspiration from that. From the start l had the idea to create 3D Animations like that. l am on the way.
you can see from my work.

Go for a walk, study your surroundings and whats going on around you.. Read a book, watch a movie, look up other artists work, close your eyes and just think for 10 minutes, listen to music.. Inspiration is everywhere, you just have to look beyond the boring walls that sometimes hide it from us.
