Artist Looking For Inspiration/Work

(1/2) > >>

Settheraytoemily:
Hello there!  :-D  I'm an amateur "artist" and I'm looking for some inspiration, or possibly some work for those interested.  I'm a (highschool) student, so of course I'm not looking for full time drawing work, though if you have a character, a description of a character, or even a drawing idea that you would like to run by me, feel free! I will do what I can to get around to the ideas that interest me most, and of course, it will be free of cost.

P.s.-If you can post your ideas here, that would be a big help.  I'll stick my work up here as well when it's finished, or when I have a decent looking rough version of it.  I look forward to any requests you all might have!

Peace!

Edit:  I suppose I should add that I looking for work pertaining to the web-comic realm, as to make this appropriate for the comic thread.  While I do work in oils/acrylics/ink quite a bit, I find this sort of art is more fun for me to do when it comes to requests.

I am not sure you'll like it, but the first idea that i came up with was:

A giant marshmallow and a ball sack with one nut fight for the love of a local barista that happens to be a cucumber.

Flip through the artist interview pages, and let yourself be overcome with creativity of the finest brand. Well, sort of anyway. Or just read a good book, visualize what you read, and draw it.

Anyway, before you go ahead making threads and posting wildly, I suggest you take a look at the "Hi, I'm New!" forum section, right at the bottom of the index. It's there for a reason, and the oldtimers (not just the mods) take a few minutes off to welcome new people, I've yet to see a thread without replies. Make yourself an introduction thread, LURK MOAR (explained in the forum newbie advice thread), and you'll get a long just fine!

I've actually lurked here for quite some time, so I'm not exactly posting 'wildly' so to say.  But thank you for the advice as to Barnes&Noble (which we have here, woot) anyway.  By the way, hello, I am Emily and I am an art addict  :-D

Emaline:
What Anyways was politely saying is that it's advised you post a thread in Hi, I'm New! before posting any other threads. It isn't exactly advisable to post a new thread(except for one in Hi, I'm new!) when you are a new poster. So I suggest you get on that.



Anyway, go to the library, or even wikipedia, and look things up. I am subscribed to Antiques magazine. It has a lot of good furniture pictures in it. When I was in high school, my printmaking teacher had a number of books filled with stock photos of animals, plants, and the like. Those were always nice for inspiration. Go to the art museum. And GIS, seriously. You can find everything there.
