When I create art I find myself usually drawing most of the time. I don’t create my work to anything specific, just what catches my eye and inspires me to draw. Anime is what originally inspired me to start drawing. I also find other creators to inspire me to draw, but don’t feel influenced by one particular artist. Anime is where the origin of inspiration comes from because I like the style, and value the characters I get to know from design, to the personality given to each unique character. My mother is the second reason I am inspired by. She doesn’t draw much anymore, but used to help me with projects that included some drawing and I always appreciated her realistic style much different from my own. She also encourages me to draw and is always willing to give ideas. Seven Deadly Sins & Naruto are the anime styles that got me to draw more often (and other animes). The two illustrators and their style that inspired me to draw was Masashi Kishimoto (illustrated Naruto), and Nakaba Suzuki (illustrated The Seven Deadly Sins). Their work influences me to continue to get better at drawing anime figures, and to create my own anime style. When I drew my head themed drawings I was motivated to learn more about drawing the human body and learning more about proportions so I can improve as an artist.
