Hi everyone! Today I’m going to bring you along in making an illustration of mine, talking about the search for inspiration, the search for references and how I collect them and use them in my art process. I’ve already discussed inspiration and my relationship with it in my “How to find inspiration” video. So if you haven’t watched it yet, you can find it here:

We're going to cover topics such as How can we use inspiration?
What is the difference between using something as inspiration and using something as a reference?
How do we find inspiration?

What if you have Aphantasia?

To collect and organise our inspiration and references we’re going to use MILANOTE

On inspiration: You can't wait for the muse to strike, but also, save everything that you think is cool or pretty or catches your eye and pull it out later when you need it.

GIRL YOU DID NOT JUST TURN THAT DOT INTO A FABULOUS PIECE OF ART I LOVE YOU 😭♥️♥️♥️♥️ this just made my day i swear! what a i’ll always support you, you absolutely deserve all the unconditional love and support in the entire universe, thank you for everything you do babes ♥️♥️

[inktologist]

Fantastic video. Inspiration comes from everywhere and no one should feel guilty researching or taking form it. As NO piece of art is fully original.

[AthanInsideOut]

Your content is so awesome and helpful! I'm done being shy and hiding my art from the world and I'm starting to put myself out there. Thank you for inspiring me!

[joanneadeniyi]

I’ve heard of the term “Aphantasia”, it gets me every time whenever I want to draw something besides having a theme or aesthetic and getting stuck on just a blank sheet of paper.

[BarakaIII]

Thank you for the tips about aphantasia, i have that and i struggle with finding references that match what im thinking of, i figured that i should use pinterest filters and they kind of help but not really, but as always great vid!

[MariannesStudio]

Great video! I don’t have aphantasia but I do struggle to picture things I can’t see. I’ll need to rewatch this vid step by step for sure :)

[XYTH]

I remember having an argument with my friend about inspiration apparently being copying 😭😭😭

[anthonyw]

there are so many words but one keeps popping up: Che bellezza!

[jung.o.]

This is what I need right now. I have a habbit of doodling and rarely doing dedicated drawings. Art isn't my job. It's just my hobby. But I like thinking of it seriously. So this video is giving me the right ideas and guidelines I can take. Thank you so much

[martinarusso]

Tu sei d ispirazione ✨, comunque farò sto compitino che hai detto, perché ho salvato uno screenshot della nuova merce di statuette di fnaf. Volevo disegnarla già da ieri, ma vedrò se con sto caldo mi decido😂

[ekisde]

heey, I love your channel and your art, it's so inspiring to me! I just wanna know how do you do it to make illustrations in your sketchbook instead of just random doodles like it's my case and I want to change that habit and know how to train myself to be able to make illustrations in my sketchbook.

Thank you again for this inspirational, useful video, Bayonetta ♥️
