Inspiration

Throughout the day, I have been visiting several sketchblogs, many which have caught my eye. The creativity of every sketchblog represents each artist's personality. Simplicity and chaotic are two words that described many of the blogs I viewed today. Blogs were set up as simple as just a few words and their illustrations, while other blogs seemed crowded with illustrations. As I viewed many blogs, one caught my eye. The simplicity of the artist's page jumped right out at me. Black and white were the only colors displaying the illustrations. As i continued to view the page, I noticed the different language of the artist. Always interested in traveling to a different country, the blog of "yakubiuk" was such an inspiration. Although the words were in a different language, the art work was demonstrated so beautifully that I hardly focused on the words. The page was set up so beautifully that as I viewed each illustration I felt at ease. There was no busyness that drew away from the artwork. As a thick black ink pen boarded the page, i saw a contrast that was not demonstrated on any of the other blogs. The contrast between the pen and the illustrations allowed the viewer to focus mainly on the artwork. This blog not only represented the artist's personality, but also represented my own personality. Inspired by the blog of "yakubiuk", I hope to demonstrate my artwork with the same simplicity. By achieving simplicity, the viewers of my blog can focus mainly on my illustration and skills.
The blog that inspired me was, www.yakubiuk.com/wordpress
