how I find art inspiration ✿ my artist journey so far

In this video, I talk more about my personal journey as an artist and illustrator and how I find inspiration throughout ordinary life. I explain the ideas that speak most to me personally and the imagery I find compelling to sketch, draw, and paint. As I speak on these things, I've included footage of me studying strawberries for a future painting that I give a few sneak peeks into. This is how I find inspiration to create and come up with art and drawing ideas in my sketchbook and through painting.

Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel and shop as I begin my art career. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has downloaded my brush and bought a sticker, it means so much to me as I build my career and content.

I absolutely am in love with this video now. I’m such a sucker for when people talk about the deep, meaningful parts behind their art. I’m also a huge sucker for vulnerability. This is just so amazing <3

I am currently working on a bullet journal.. I recently started a job and I'm struggling with a lot inside. I've never decorated or worked on a journal so I thought maybe it would be fun and help with stress. Since I started my new job I stopped being creative and I feel so tired all the time even though my job isn't demanding. I'm really hoping this helps. I miss being creative and drawing. ❤
Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos. I find it therapeutic to listen to other artists talk about their projects, daily life, struggles. Hope that doesn't sound weird lol.

Art inspiration really can be found anywhere, appreciate you opening up to us ❤

Honestly I love to see these behind the scenes of these artworks, it’s nice to see the similarities and differences between how paintings are done and thought of 10/10 strawberries

I discovered your channel a while ago and in such a short time you have become my number 1 art inspiration... Inspiration can really be found anywhere like you said in this video, but what I've realized is there's a big difference between being inspired by something and liking something. I used to think I was inspired whenever I saw something I admired but listening to you talk about your art process and personal experiences actually makes me want to create things and improve myself. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video. This is what i needed to see right now..right when I was getting desperate...Please don't ever stop being you! ❤ Awesome video 🫶

So excited for the new video! I love sketching along to your videos, they're so inspiring. I don't know if this is the right way to word it, but your usage of color is so satisfying :). I think it's quite true how OC's/other characters can come to life by looking at random objects, it's so cool. Keep up the great work.

I was drawing some character I came up with from the 1920s. He's just holding a flower in a field.

Recently discovered your channel and I have been having such a lovely time going through your videos! I have come to reeeally adore and admire you! There are topics that you have covered that have resonated with me so well. I love your thought process and insights. As a younger and less experienced artist, I feel grateful to have found your content, it truly feels like talking to a friend ❤

[dilarameryemart]

I really love the background of these characters! thank you for sharing this :)

[jascherry]

I really really enjoyed this video and learning how you came up with them. It does spark the idea of how to think of inspiration.

Wow!!! Absolutely FLABBERGASTED with how gorgeous those prints are!! I absolutely ADORE the theme behind all of them, it’s a super interesting concept!

[cloverg]

i’ve been trying to be consistent with drawing because sometimes i’ll draw then it’ll take months to get back, i appreciate this motivation ❤
