I had no friends, started playing Kingdom Hearts where friendship plays a big role. Started making an OC/self-insert and wanted to draw their adventures and here we are now :)

Who or what would you say is your biggest inspiration for pursuing art? 
My mother and brother were big into art when I was a kid. Me and my brother would watch Dragon 
Ball Z together. Then I eventually moved on to Sailor Moon and Kenshin lol

•I think my inspiration for becoming an artist originated from when I was younger and would watch tv shows like art attack and blues clues.. it inspired and interested me more than anything else

•I like this question. My inspiration for becoming an artist is my imagination. I have so many cool ideas for example, when I listen to a song and a particular phrase reminds me of an emotion that I would like to recreate through visual form. My current skill level is not at that level of satisfaction for myself, and so my goal of recreating emotions through art in a way that would make me say, “Yes! This is what I see when I feel this emotion!” really motivates me. I would also love to be able to show others the things that I see in my head.

•A girl who gave a manga scetching session for us little elementary school students. I don’t even remember how she looked like ^-^" Just that I was really amazed how easily she scribbled those faces.
Other than that all the pictures in my head that I want to be able to create ^u^

•I guess at the start nobody 
but let me elaborare, I always loved to draw and always wanted to draw as a professional and I did not look up at anyone, beside cartoons or comics, BUT I with the years I did have many artists that I loved and inspired one of the big inspirations (since I draw mostly anime) was Takeshi Obata

•My father. i had a vague memory of him being supportive of it. Thats why i drew my first ever oc Ro that i since changed so much
•
•Definitely anime! The artist of Seraph of the End Yamato Yamamoto and the artists of Inazuma Eleven and Pokémon (couldn’t find the artists)
•
•Honestly a huge inspiration for me was all the gorgeous cover art Michael Whelan did for the Dragonriders of Pern series... I wanted to be a book cover illustrator so bad at one point
