Where do sudden brilliant ideas come from?
Having ideas is usually no problem, but deciding which ones are good can be tricky. A good way to be inspired is to go to the library, or a good bookshop, and look how other people have illustrated. Look hard at work that really excites you. This is almost guaranteed to start the ideas flowing. Develop several ideas and just see where your imagination takes you. Don’t rush – come back to it days later and with fresh eyes. Inspiration is prompted by research. The more you know, the greater the possible range and cleverness of your ideas.
