--Lets not kidding our self that we will find a kangooro reference, if someone is living in a place where there is no kangooro to begin with. Unless the person picks up his belongings go to the places where he can find kangooros, take pictures, come back home. (Fly to other places)

--just try it :) not saying you need to do it forever, just do 1 design without online ref

--of course, the internet is a great resource, but just try it out to limit yourself that way! it's crazy how much more original and true to yourself it'll be

--Always find new interesting things since I do not specifically search for something, rather I just put some time to just explore see what new other ideas pops up, and put that in my morgue folder/pins
17 Jun 03:11
--Hence on pinterest, I diversify the topic and just explore and google + as well.
17 Jun 03:11
--Why not combine both? If you're not looking for something fresh, you can just google whatever see what you will find.
17 Jun 02:27
--when you look up stuff online, it always is filtered by the intention to find something and that means you already know what it is before you find it so you can rarely find something fresh because you're limited by what you know already. but just draw stuff from outside your doorstep and you'll see a million things you'd have never looked up online

--Sounds like an interesting challenge! Just saw something on my desk that I could easily turn into a space ship!

--if people wanna have a challenge like this, send me a PM and I'll make sth. in the future, right now there's too many challenge work going on already
17 Jun 02:17
--maybe i'll make a challenge for that, i really want to see what happpens when people try it out
17 Jun 02:16
--i SO recommend that to anyone, just draw one thing from imagination and the only ref's you may use are what you find in your immediate real-life-environment

--I've watched a few Feng Zhou videos and he's got a massive library of reference photos that he's captured himself - amazing sunsets etc ...
17 Jun 02:12
--I often think about getting a good camera and carrying it about with me so that I could capture references at the drop of a hat.
17 Jun 02:12
--made me realize how literally anything you find online has gone through at least one other person's eye before you find it, so how can it really inspire personal work unique to you?
17 Jun 02:05
--man i just went outside and sketched a thing just based on what was there and it probably was the most inspired and fresh thing i did in months. i really should stop digging inspiration from the internet for personal stuff, forget that last request :D

--anyone got some interesting inspiration sites that post wierd new images every day? architecture, design, animals, fashion, anything pretty much
