Influence Map Meme

Yup... I finally did this! x'D
I always wanted to do one... (I like memes Don't judge me!)

Anyway...

1. sambees is one of my favourite artists. I really love the details and expressions she puts on all of her works, be it a sketch or a finished drawing. One of my goals is to be able to draw not like her but with the capacity to move people even with a "simple" sketch.
2. Movies and shows: Dreamworks, Disney, Studio Ghibli are the principal source of my favourite movies. I love the colors, the characters and the environment on almost every movie released, and sometimes I get a lot of inspiration, not only from them, but also from other movies, anime and shows.
3. Video games: I have to say that all started with "The Legend of Zelda" and basically I used to draw a lot of FanArt of that game. Now I play many type of games and as it happens with movies, the characters designs and stories and the environments inspire me to draw. ^^
4. fdasuarez and Newsha-Ghasemi are two amazing persons and artists. I knew Fernanda when I joined dA and Newsha on one of Fernanda's livestreams and I must say that their arts inspire me and their friendly advices help me a lot. <3
5. Loonaki was probably the first artist here on dA that I admired. I can't even start to say how much she helped me. xD I know I say this a lot, but for example, I still use her tutorials as a guide for my drawings. Also... she is an amazing friend and I love her with all my heart, and she always help me with constructive critic and advices
6. Fantasy: I LIVE ON A FANTASY WORLD!!! Reality sucks!
7. JenniferHealy; I always found her works fascinating. The use of colors and the surreal feeling on each of her works... I just love them!
8. Ailda is my Dark Combo! (and I bet she will laugh at this for like... two months! <___< HIIISSSS). The truth is that I joined DeviantArt because of her. She also kept encouraging me whenever I got depressed with my drawings or didn't feel like drawing a lot. All the critic she gave on my works only made me grow to the "artist" I am right now and I have a lot of influences of her style on my drawings! xD She was and still is my favourite teacher on the matter of "How should I draw hands"...
9. Steampunk and Victorian period: Okay... this is quite self-explanatory I think! xD I love everything related to both of this themes, that end up being related to eachother, of course. And if you go around my gallery you will probably find some steampunkish-o-victorianish influences! x'D
10. Rivan145th's art has a very dark mood on it, mixed with a bit of humor (a dark humor) that I love. The way she draws facial expressions is just... AMAZING! 8D and the creepy victorian dark carnival works of her... *dies* sooooooo kewl!
11. tir-ri. I don't even know what to say about her! x'D I have quite an obsession for her works. I love the details, the colors, the environments, the anatomy... EVERYTHING!!! Like seriously... she is also one of my favourite artists
12. agnes-cecile. I don't know why. I just love her works. They are so full of emotion, colors and movement that everytime I look at her art I just get this weird feeling and urge to draw.
13. Mudora was quite a discovery for me. I found her because of her "The Legend of Zelda"'s fanart sketchs and drawings. I loved them the instant I saw them. As a matter of fact... she was quite an inspiration for me, because when I found her I totally modified my own drawing style. It was then that I basically started working on it and trying out new stuff.
14. Books: I don't read so much as I used to read, but when I do grab a book and start reading it... I feel like I'm in the story, I imagine all the things on my head, and of course that feeds my creativity.

YEY! It's done!
It was quite fun and it was also a way to prove I'm not dead! x'D
Sorry guys, I've been busy lately and not with a lot of time to draw, nor patience... :/
