I was wondering... since some artists is inspired by another or actually want to be like the artist they enjoy so much. For example, me. I usually get inspired by several artists just looking into each art wishing to draw just like one of them. First I thought of planning to be like Zeurel, then Unknown-Person, Then the creators of 2chan cats, then Taeshi, and finally (this could be the last person that I might stop and actually start getting more inspired by this guy than anyone else) Mike Inel. all of his art started when he was 14 years old (I even had a conversation with him through livestream), and judging by his Meme, I might have time. This may be a dodgy plan, but it might help. I am also getting a tablet soon too. So that is something weird.

For those who doesn't know who Mike is, should ring a bell. Such a sad story that has no end. After the video Mike had made several easter eggs like how the blue one then got his ear chopped off after attempting to climb over the wall with the ladder. Well... in a Cancelled game. Me made a video about the cancelled game and had shown the easter egg on the glass wall about the story. Otherwise Mike Inel is otherwise known for Visual novels like deIZ or the new remake of Katawa-Shoujo (with the same creators of the original one). Nobody knows what a fan could do.

So there is part of the story I am following. What is yours?

(As usual, if I had any spelling mistakes or bad grammar, that is because I am part Korean).

No. I was born with the artistic skill to draw approximations of the human body a priori.

I was inspired by Satan, but this is common knowledge.

Satan was inspired by Picasso, so we can see the connection.

It's not a remake. He contributed to the full version of Katawa Shoujo by creating the post- Act 1 animations.
But I find it interesting that there's still people on the internet who haven't seen Draw With Me. (I like the original version better bawwww)

And honestly, every other artist has been inspired by something. In a world where everything has been done that something is most likely a bunch of artists in addition to more inanimate things.

It could be argued that there is no such thing as true originality after ~4000 years of creativity in the human race. In fact, I think there was a whole thread about it.

Every person who's ever drawn is inspired by someone. It's just the way things are. One generation influences the next.

As for me, I can't pinpoint inspiration to one specific person, because I'm inspired by countless artists. I see something to appreciate in different styles, and it's why I like to try different things a lot.

Amen. In fact, I would sometimes be reminded of some childhood memory that would explain some part of my personality. For example, whilst answering one of the questions in recess here, I remembered a game (Scaler) that had sparked a sudden interest in graphic design and digital art and such in general, however I never really explored anything significant in that field. Ever since I adapted a different perceptive on art and what it encompasses.

The game had sketches (showing inking and colouring steps) of characters, enemies, and surroundings as unlockables/ rewards for completing stages perfectly.

i was greatly inspired by Bill Watterson the illustrator for Calvin and Hobbes. i would read the whole collection of those strips most of my elementary life, and even some time after. along with him is Luke McKay who had been doing RT comics. I loved the guy's style, and all. he inspired me to actually make a comic, and draw more. i enjoyed it all. these are the two artists that inspired me...artists that i love? now that's another story

Salvador Dali niggas.

I've had a lot of influences on my style; Claude Monet and Ray Troll being two of them. Ray Troll was less inspirational in style and technique; he simply got me to start drawing outside my comfort zone and to be open to new techniques. Most of you probably never heard of Ray Troll. He's obsessed with fish and fishing, and has a love for incredibly weird extinct sharks.

Here's a colored pencil work by him depicting the whorl-toothed shark, Helicoprion:
