What inspires you as an artist?

Question

Hey everyone, thought I would make a post about what inspires you as an artist? I'm curious to see what inspires you all :)

For me, my main inspiration when doing graphics work comes from the feeling I get from listening to songs and wanting to create that feeling in an image. I also find a lot of inspiration in other people's work and the feeling it gives me, I find myself spending a lot of time browsing artstation. 

Another big driver for me is always wanting to improve so I find myself revisiting topics and pieces I made early in my journey and trying to improve them.

    Well I don't really know how to answer that, I'm like a dog chasing cars, I wouldn't know what to do if I ever caught one. In my case I just do it, it's fun, engaging, there's a lot of good people in it, it's a good source of income, a hobby, etc. I think the feeling you get when doing something cool is just a feeling, like you can get that when you're cooking, when you're playing the guitar and you can play some cool tunes and you feel you're getting better, when you're learning martial arts, etc. It just so happens I found that feeling when I do computer graphics, it's cool when you're learning and can produce cool imagery, but I try to keep an open mind that it's not exclusive to computer graphics, that can come with the pursue of anything you set your ind to.
