Animation Source Forums

As for what inspired me to take drawing more seriously and to work harder at it would be this site. I saw all the amazing art and I wanted to show my own. =] (When I joined was before there were passwords)

As for the artist, Cat (Catwhohas14tails) was the first gallery at Baltosource that I ever saw. Her skills in the arts inspired me to have fun with what I draw and I draw as I feel. She helped make me see that art doesn't have rules.

^That's what I said earlier^
Her it is expalined.

First, I wanted to draw just like Amber_sea. I would go to her gallery all the time, and it is the only one I'd visit. Later I was inspired by Cat_wings and Catwhohas14tails. I think that is the one I tried for the longest. But then it began to flicker between Cat and Pample. Then it was Cat_luvs_Zuko, and I finally developed my own style that I still use today!! That's it.

No offence there but, Cat_luvs_Zuko and Cat_Wings are the same people =P She just changed her username dude...

Also, while I'm posting, Abby(CLZ) also inspired me to draw and was(and still is) one of my best friends online. =D

Gah! If I can remember... oh yeah-

Kelev definitely. First gallery I went to. My old style, very bad I'll add, was NOT working for me though. Then Wolfcat entered one of my contests, and I sort of copied styles. Then I changed muzzle form and ear form, and now you could say my style is more like Kolton's. But I have my own paw form. It's kindof easy to tell my art. I don't really use a copywright any more... I forgot about it XD.

Yeah I know. But when she changed her name, she also changed her style. Calling her Cat_wings means I'm referring to her old style. I had a feeling someone would tell me this. lol

There really was no "person" who helped me start to do art as I started drawing in about...1992 or 1993...LONG before BS was created.

Once I "discovered" BS I took 'examples' from practically all drawing styles, looking at all the different styles of drawing different parts of anatomy including from Balto itself and created my own way of drawing wolves that way.

Though I was drawing lions LONG before wolves. I started drawing lions all the time after seeing The Lion King in cinema's, I never saw Balto when it was released and only started drawing wolves when I joined BS.

I've been drawing scince I was 3 years old. That would of been, 96 or 1997. But, more recently, Deni. She is the one. Her art inspiers me. I must say, are style is simular. I've allways had that drawing style, so don't worry.

No one inspired me. I started drawing canines in my style (I found out years later it was similar to Balto one) when I was 4 or 5. Later I was inspired by All Dogs Go to Heaven, so my style is what it is nowadays.

The person who helped me the most was my great, late friend - and practical brother - Eric. He would make me sketches on napkins, stickey notes, and so-forth on the road and then e-mail me copies or give me some (it's a shame I've lost them already). He was my biggest inspiration, and I draw my wolves for him. :]

Other than that - Livy!, Night (Nnight), Draco, DragonDrawer, and some live-action wolf movies/shows.

I created my own style and it worked for me. I just kept on drawing, some people did inspore me with there amazing talents like:Silver Deni, GreyKitty, Cat, Wolf250, Nnight(love her).
I loved drawing wolves when i was little and i just kept up the hard work, dont ever give up.

Another BJ fan! BJ is a hero!

Well, before I joined Balto Source I was drawing mostly dogs, since that was really the onle thing I COULD draw. There was my cousin Chris, who is - in my opinion - a fantastic artist. And therefore inspired me to draw more and just be creative.

As for artists here - CatWhoHas14Tails, Kirada, Draco, and Livy!.

Artists on DA - GoldenWolf, Kay Fedewa, and ESDA.
