Drawing Inspiration from the Masters: A blog about different artists and how you can use their techniques to create your own masterpieces. Drawing is an art form that has been around for centuries. It wasn’t until the 1600’s that it became a popular form of entertainment. From Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, to Raphael, Bernini, and Rubens; drawing as an art form has been used by great masters to create masterpieces. People have always enjoyed looking at these works of art, but today people are taking it one step further. They are looking at these works and trying to recreate them on their own.
This blog will help you find your unique style of art. You will be able to figure out what kind of mediums work best for you and which ones don’t work out so well. It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or professional artist; we’ll provide you with all the tools necessary to help you master this art form.

Drawing inspiration from the masters is something that will help you in all types of art, from drawing to painting to sculpture and beyond.
Art has a long history through many different cultures and these artists were some of the best in their field, their techniques are what you should use when creating your own masterpieces.
Reaching toward perfection is something that comes with time and dedication but it doesn’t happen over night. The more time you spend on your work the better your art will become.
Drawing inspiration from the masters can give you a better understanding of why they have become so well known for their artwork, as well as a guide to follow in your own search for perfection as an artist.
We all know that art is a great way to express yourself, but what about those times when you feel uninspired? You’re sitting there with your blank canvas just staring at it, not knowing where to begin.
Instead of letting art block your creative juices, why not let it inspire them? Drawing Inspiration from the Masters will provide you with detailed instructions on how to copy a master artist’s style.
You’ll learn things like:
How to draw Manga style characters (like Death the Kid of the anime Soul Eater) in the style of famous manga artists such as Hiro Mashima or Rumiko Takahashi. How to draw in the colorful and dramatic style of comic book artist Jim Lee (Justice League, Batman: Hush, X-Men). How to draw with a Renaissance style, like Michelangelo or Rembrandt (this is a good way to get into perspective). How to draw in the impressionist style of Claude Monet or John Singer Sargent. How to draw like an abstract expressionist painter from the 20th century, such as Jackson Pollock. And MUCH more!
So what are you waiting for? Grab your pencils and lets get drawing!
There is no better way to learn art then to study the work of the masters. Most of these artists are dead but that doesn’t make their works any less valuable. Their techniques and ideas can still be applied today and should be studied as much as possible.
Art can be a very powerful tool for self-expression, communication, and growth. I hope this blog will inspire you to create something wonderful!
As a beginner, you should always try to draw with artists that you admire. An artist that is way ahead of you will create drawings that are out of your league. Beginners are best served by studying the works of artists that are just a little bit above their skill level. This will help them to not only learn how to use the tools they own, but they’ll also understand better how to create the likeness of different subjects.
To start off, I recommend artists like Bouguereau , Bridgman , and Correggio .
Art history is full of fascinating people and incredible stories, yet many books on art are merely academic catalogs that lack eloquence and passion. Through these blogs, I hope to share my love of art and encourage you to discover the rich world of art through your own eyes.
