Let's see what get's us all inspired!

Post links here of artist's that never fail to get you itching to draw when you see their stuff - whether its just because of how amazing their art is or because it's something you want to personally work towards.

You can make it simple or you can go into further details about why you find them inspiring or what it is you hope to learn from studying their style more.

Most Pixiv artist's make me want to draw more, haha.
This artist in particular.
Their artwork is so strange and creative. I think it's very beautiful ;w; (but i'm kind of weird when it comes to art lol)

I also really like this artist <3

However, most of the time, I get inspired by random drawings and speed paints drawn by so many different people, haha. ;w;

Katie De Sousa, Sakimichan, Janaschi, and Miles Johnston always make me want to paint when I watch their livestreams or tutorials.

Alrighty, here's my list of inspirational artists:

Sakimichan - Always love their portraits... they never come across as 'boring' to me and I love how she paints skin and hair etc. I would love to be able to make such dynamic portraits one day.
JDarnell - Recently came across her on DA and man, love her clothing designs and how her characters always look so pretty. I also like the feel of her drawings because she tends to do it in pencil and then add colour digitally and it really works well and gives some of her work a more vintage feel - which is cool because a lot of her designs are more of the lolita/vintage style. Always makes me wanna draw something frilly and pretty when I look at her stuff.
Artgerm - Love his shading of skin and clothes. Also how he has such a good clear grasp of musculature. It's something I know I need to work on so looking at his stuff is always inspiring and reminds me to think about the body beneath the clothes a lot more.
Barachan - Seeing her stuff makes me wanna use copics and markers XD If anyone is gonna inspire me to do more traditional, it's her. Also love that she has such a unique style of drawing and shading. Her line art is never boring.
Shilin - Her character designs and how she draws such great poses and gets an awesome atmosphere in her paintings *-*
Nipuni - Her style is just so crisp and clean, I love it. She does character interactions superbly, from what ever action they are doing to the expressions on their faces. Love it.

Too many to list them all, but here are a few:
ShoelessCosmonaut
LuigiL
BechnoKid
zazB
All of these artists have such lively and expressive styles. Also they're not anime which I really like to see.

The biggest and most influential though is by far Glen Keane. Because heart Disney.

David - Okay, if I was to say me earliest influence once I got back into drawing it was this guy. He's not necessarily one who draws art, it's more like he just draws a webcomic and originally I just wanted to pass time so I just tried drawing in his simple style. I still do, but it only seems like in small traditional drawings that I do that. Other than that, he's a chill dude and you should check out his webcomic about his life.

Senatama - This guy just doesn't upload much but I like nearly all the pieces he makes. Everything is just so clean and simple; plus its all traditional.

Scary-Panda - What I mainly like about this guy's art is the concepts, plus some of these are traditionally draw with digital color. But what I really like about this person is their water colors. Just makes me wanna strive towards something like that. But again, I really like the ideas and concepts they make.

RockouShioya - Another traditional artist (see a pattern?) who I like. They mostly do just ink stuff and have intresting poses, or the drawing is suppose to capture a moment in life. Really love his backgrounds when she does them and I also enjoy the photos of the sky he takes. They make for excellent lockscreen on my ipod.

Damai Mikaz - Okay, I love her colors and ideas. Plus when she does a journal she usually tackles something that should help others such as an artist, advising that you don't practice for +60 hours a week or things about society. Plus if you look back on her gallery she started out just like everyone else and eventually became the artist like how she is right now! She not only inspires people with her art, but she tries helping others when she writes.

KingHashBrown - This dude likes everything. Or at least nearly everyone's art. They are a bit timid when seeing their own art but I strive to be like them digitally. Their poses and ideas are always interesting, along with their colors. I really like this dude's stuff.

Honestly what inspires me the most to draw is not professional drawings and art, but seeing what my peers and friends can draw. It always makes me desire to draw the way they can. I think it's just motivating to see how well a lot of average people can draw nowadays. 3nodding

Growing up I was inspired by the Bionicle fan artists on BZPower! there was Lady Kagua (known back then as Lady Kopaka), Nikira, Toa Tiome, and Toa of Art among others. Carlos D'Anda did the first few Bionicle comics and in my opinion they were the best!

Today I have a lot of inspirations but they are generally in the comics and animation industry. For comic artists most of them are web comics like Paranatural. Of the animators a lot of them have jobs at studios you may have heard of, like Disney, Dreamworks, and Cartoon Network. I'd love to link them all but there are just so many that this post would go on forever!

A few other people:

Alice X. Zhang was one of the first artists I followed on Deviant Art. I love her use of colors!

Finally there's my friends from school, from Curly Pie to Pat and Elisia (CP worked on a professional comic while Elisia was a colorist on Rick and Morty! Pat is really helpful and cool)

I really like the first artist you shared. The art really is amazing to look at and very creative!

She not only inspires people with her art, but she tries helping others when she writes.

I checked out the other people you linked, but what really caught my attention was your fondness of Damai Mikaz! She is a REALLY inspiration person and not only does her art inspire,but her journals and words as well! I have years to get as far as she is TuT high five

heart The artist that that inspires me is Shawn Coss.
You can see his art here: http://shawncossart.carbonmade.com/
Here: http://shawncoss.deviantart.com/
And here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/subconart
He even has his own online store.
Someday I hope to draw as amazing as him.
Other than that, I get inspiration from the avatars of Gaia users, or even a certain face can make me want to get artistic.
