where do you get the inspiration for the more fantasy type drawings? smoking perhaps?

i can't draw like this from my head, wish i could. i can draw ok from life but you seem to just be able to imagine stuff like crazy

most of these are just random doodles that eventually become something bigger. I'm really into character/figure drawing and I usually begin with the head - if I create a look, expression, anything that excites me, I take the time to develop it further. Sometimes ideas just never seem to stop flowing... others it's difficult to know where to begin - my sketchbook is filled with halfway finished characters and images that I may or may not complete... it's all about having fun and occassionally learning a few things. Rarely do I begin a drawing, that's not from observation, knowing exactly what it's gonna be. Inspiration can come from anywhere - my mood, the days events, a conversation, someone else's mood or expression, a song, anything... Marijuana can help sometimes, its not necessary, but seems to make drawing an entirely different experience - making it easier to develop an image based on clashing values instead of lines defining everything (collages are fun as **** to build - smoke a bowl, put on some deftones and just let the pencil flow for a few hours) but, learning new techniques and doing more technical drawing is best left for teh soberness.
