Hello Everyone.
As an artist, there are quite a lot of places I get my inspirations from. Whether I'm about to begin my commissioned portraits or wildlife drawings, I always seek for a source of inspiration which I believe helps me to create artworks I'll end up falling in love with.
In this post, I'll be sharing my top 3 sources of inspiration as an artist.

1. ARTWORKS BY OTHER ARTISTS.

I'm pretty sure hundreds of thousands of artists can relate to this. When I see an amazing artwork created by another artist, I'm inspired to create mine and try my best to be better. I also get inspiration from artworks of the ol masters and my favorite is Caravaggio who's style of realism and detailed works still blow my mind every time I see his works.

1. MUSIC ;
   I also get inspiration from several singers and musicians. There's power in music and when I wanna create an artwork, It has become my habit to play songs that I believe would make me create a stunning piece. My favorite singers are Beyonce, Adele, Wizkid, Sam Smith and Usher. I'm a big fan of classical music too.

2. MY ENVIRONMENT;

Lastly I get inspiration from my immediate surroundings. This could include the scenes, people, animals, plants and buildings around me. I've grown to understand that there is always a piece of art around us and we just have to open our eyes to see them.
