I have a deep appreciation and love for art my whole life I grew up surrounded by it. I can’t even begin to express how much art means to me

Traditional art is my favorite, but I do a lot of digital art!
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration from literally everywhere. Comics, other artists, movies, life events, life experiences and different cultures and much more, whatever interests me I put it into my art. I love giving my characters characteristics and lore based on people I’m close with and had past relationships with.
What would you do with $25,000?I would most definitely upgrade my art setup and buy my dream markers, as for the rest I would save it for college. I want to become an art teacher and teach young people how important art is in their lives, art is everything and I want for everyone to know that and see the beauty in real art, I strongly believe art should be human made. With everyone heavily relying on AI today, I want to teach students how to tap in to their inner creativity and not rely on AI. EVER.
