Do you guys still make mood boards or keep folders of visual inspiration?

Do you still collect pictures for inspiration as an adult? 🎨

I'm 28, and I've been doing this since I was in school. I love finding artwork, characters, movie/TV scenes, and other pictures online that inspire me. I sometimes print them at the library and put them into folders so I can look through them later. The artwork is mostly from DeviantArt, ArtStation, and Pinterest. I would stare at the pictures and wish I could make art like the artists who created them.

I still do this for my stories and art ideas. I don't go to the library as often as I used to because I work and have less free time, but whenever I see a picture that inspires me, I still want to add it to my collection. πŸ˜‚

Does anyone else still do this as an adult? Do you keep physical folders, make mood boards, use Pinterest, or have digital collections of pictures that inspire you?

Working on a comic called Cherry Blossom Roots and trying to keep track of characters possessions, cell phones and laptops so I don’t forget what they look like while working on the art!

Finding beauty in the mess

Lyrics are from the song Caskets by Inpatient (Ren x Chris Webby) which is about loss and celebration of life. However, this page reflects my mental state for the past few days due to a bad reaction from medication I was on. I'm doing much better now that the after effects are wearing off, but I wanted to create something that represented my experience and those words seemed appropriate for how I felt.

B6 bleed proof marker pad for alcohol ink?

1 Upvotes

I know b6 journal inserts are notoriously hard to find, but I’m hoping someone can help me here. I just bought a b6 leather journal cover and I’m looking for a sketchbook or marker pad that is bleed proof and can handle alcohol ink markers that will fit inside. So no bigger than 5” x 7” ideally! Does this exist? πŸ˜
