do u mean visually? i have gripes w pinterest bcus even tho its so convenient (i use it for pose refs a lot) its soo homogenous and conventional (not that my charas arent conventional looking) and i see the same images end up on everyone's insp boards... i try to offset the influence of media values as much as possible by taking insp from life (like drawing the faces and features of ppl i know/have seen, which i dont find weird i find it kind of poetic) inspiration is an ongoing process and characters can always evolve which is nice. thanks for ur question :)
