i recently stumbled upon my old influence meme and thought it would be interesting to do another one and reflect a bit over current and past influences!
Like with the previous ones, i kept out more general things like "nature", "friends" etc and tried to stay specific.
Back then i still defined influence as something that does visibly show up in my work, recently its more for me about things that ignite this motivation and joy about drawing/creating for me, even if the art differs from my own.
While i was less active online in recent years, I went through this common circle of reuniting with my old influences again and this helped me to bring back that spark I thought was lost over the years.
