Not gonna lie I don’t really take inspiration from anything specific, for my nsfw characters I just draw whatever I think might be cute/hot, but in general I like to come up with palettes I like and then mess around with different patterns using them

It definitely helps to use bases to sketch out general ideas before committing to something imo, it’s fun to do too

I wish I could be more helpful but a lot of my process is just messing around and seeing what sticks haha
