Honestly I wouldn’t know the names of many of them- I get inspired by random pieces on google and Pinterest, that I stumble across, humm maybe I look up to Belmarzi on twitter ig? A bunch of people from CT too cause that’s where I come from in the world of digital art.
any artist that can consistently make comics. that would kill me. but fr undertale was what pushed me to try art for the first time. lavandertowne was a big motivator for me, too.
Walt Disney, Glen Keane, Don Bluth, Andreas Deja, Tim Burton, Carlos Grangel, Hayao Miyuzaki, Claude Monet, Abigail Larson, Gris Grimly, and Iren Horrors.
Gerard Way, that fella can do whatever. I really like their character designs, comics, writing and voice, it's awesome. Im also very inspired by my couple since we both draw stuff
Not necessarily artists, just art media

Spiderverse was definitely a main influence on my art, the dynamic poses, pretty colors, etc.

A lot of comics, Loki (2020[?]), Falken and the winter soldier (2021[?]), young Justice (2019[?]). I just love a lot of comic styles :)

A lot of games I play also inspire me 👍👍
Love2drawmanga, sasucchi95, and shadow yt.
Love2drawmanga was my first inspiration. Her artstyle doesn't match how I want my art too look like but I just love her videos and her art inspires me sometimes.
Sasucchi95 I found pretty early in my art journey and I just loved how detailed her drawings were
Shadow yt I found recently and I love how is sketches look. He has the type of art style I want and he's inspired how I do my pencil sketches
Mark Ryden has been an inspiration for me since high school and just all around am awesome artist.

I also learned about a painter named Romaine Brooks in one of my college classes and fell head over heels for her work.

I follow a lot of artists on Instagram and it's hard to name them all, but if I'm following an artist than I definitely have a lot of respect for their work!!
LavenderTowne is definitely where I get my current style from and more recently I’ve been enamored by Pizza Tower because oh my god I can’t stop gushing how smooth and expressively unhinged that game is just aaa
Kamome Shirahama and Loputyn mostly! They’re wonderful artists with awesome styles
Kaoru Mori, i will never shut up about her works and attention to details<3, her art single handedly pushed me to draw and study backgrounds

sheya_tin (on ig), her colours are so harmonious i love it. everything from the vibe, the concept, the mood, the details ✨✨
ONE/Tomohiro
I know he might not be one of the godly artists out there like Yusuke Murata, but that's exactly why he is the one (hehe) I look up to. He is an amazing writer who published his works despite the "bad quality" of his art and they became well-known. I still remember when I finished both seasons of the Mob Psycho anime and I was so impatient to wait for season 3 that I decided to read the whole manga. The art style wasn't "Beautiful", but it had a unique charm to it for me and I still enjoyed the whole thing. He made me feel much more comfortable with my own art. I don't have to worry about improving my art just to make an enjoyable comic. A good story can still be a good story even if the art style or animation is bad.
I still remember when people were praising One Punch Man's Season 1 for the godly animation, but then Season 2 got bad grades for the drop of quality in the animation. Honestly, yes, the quality did drop, but I had no problem with it. The story was still fine in my opinion. It really bothers me that some people care more about the quality of art and animation over the quality of the writing.
I just want to be like One. Write and draw for fun with zero Fs given about my art's quality
I love Sybilline Meynet but I am still far from her harmonious composition, vibrant colours, flowy lines and clean shapes. She has Instagram, give a look to her page, you'll be bewitched.

I also like artists working with black ink in different comic styles: Hugo Pratt, Sergio Toppi, José Mun~oz, Attilio Micheluzzi. I plan to study them because I like black-and-white composition with strong contrasts and I want to be able to do it too.

I also like the style that combines coloured pencils (or imitation of it) with stylised figures: Sara Colaone, Andrea Serio (especially in "L'altra Odissea"), Lorenzo Mattotti, Giorgio Carpinteri.

I also like simplyfied styles of many different types, like Lewis Trondheim, Rita Petruccioli, Hubert, David De Thuin.

There are many more that I can't classify in one big category, and anyway I can't list them all, so I'll stop here.
Yusuke Murata ♡
if someone says tamaytka im gonna scream just warning you, youre not special tamaytka fans
mostly popular ones in the animation meme community,

Tite Kubo, Reyhan Yildirim, Yuto Sano, Gin Zarbo, @eerie, @/yrfreakyneighbr (twt), @/zzz_zhihe (twt)
I really wish I knew their name still but in middle school there was this senior artist that I was in an art class with (the middle and high school where in one school) and OMG their art was so amazing and colorful and they were even working on this gorgeous graphic novel they were doing on page at a time with paint and to this day I look up to them even though I have no clue where they are now, they are the reason I started drawing i think about their art all of the time, definitely still inspires me even tho I haven't been able to see any of it for years
