The following exercise is dictated by photographer Erik Almas, but I felt I could still use this method with my illustration work. The aim is to collect 100 images of things you would like to create. Then to brainstorm words that resonate with those said images, do this for each image then see which words pop up the most. These could be colour, genre, or elements that make up the image etc. You then narrow down the list and see what key words you are attracted to, these are then what you should focus on doing in all your future artwork.
The images you choose should be the ones that strike you, resonate with you and what you would love to create.
I have been collecting images for a while now and I have hit my 100 mark, so I'm ready to start writing down my words for each. Here below are a few of my favorites.
