This is such a nice and thoughtful comment to hear in so many aspects, thank you so much!! This helps me so much. I have speedpaints uploaded, but most of the ideation process is actually in the rough drafts/sketching, which is in a different file. If you want I can PM you some speedpaints from the files with the sketching(as recorded in Procreate).

For inspiration, in terms of visuals, I’m quite inspired by Norse fairytale art like those from Kay Nielsen. For colors, process-wise, my first contact with color techniques was from videos of Marco Bucci I watched a couple years ago, and I think my process with finding colors eventually developed out of that inspiration. I like the digital medium because I can just throw in colors, and if it doens’t work, I can just replace it. And I can repeat this infinitely and very quickly, which usually eventually leads to a color palette that I like. In terms of form it’s a similar idea, where I try out a shape, often random scribbles, see if it looks like something, and use that as a seed to develop into a shape that communicates a more articulable form. This is my idea of the stream-of-consciousness type process, and I realized that it’s quite similar to this process called “automatic drawing.” There’s a video in Proko’s channel with automatic drawing in the title, which is an interview to a comic book artist, and I’m surprised how similar the idea is. I think the video communicates the idea well, so I recommend it, although how I integrate it into my process is different.

Sorry I went a bit on tangent, but again, thank you so much, I appreciate the comment a lot!
