Recently, I was painting with my friends and I searched up simple things to paint. In short, nothing was simple. So I decided to see if I could find a few websites to get inspiration of what to paint. To help others I decided to make a list of a few blogs/sites with the pros and cons of each one.

  1. Shihori Obata: This is one of my new favorite blogs because everything that the artist draws is really simple. There’s also step-by-step picture tutorials of drawings that are a bit more complicated. One of the only cons is that the site lags a little because of the advertisements. Overall I would rate is a 9/10.
  2. Hobbies Fun: Although I thought the title was a little silly there are tons of cute drawing ideas. My favorite things about this site are that it’s only drawings, there’s tutorials, and it’s really easy to navigate the site. Overall I would rate this site a 9.5/10.
  3. Pinterest: While this may seem obvious Pinterest is really a great app/site to find art inspiration. There’s video tutorials and also simple images to copy. Overall I would rate this site a 9/10

Pinterest Overview

Pinterest is a social media app that is for searching for ideas. It was launched more than a decade ago in January 2010 and it has been nominated for Teen Choice Award for Choice Social Network in 2013. The founders of Pinterest are Ben Silverman, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp.

Pinterest is the app you go to for inspiration. Once you first open the app, it lets you pick out topics that you want to show on your feed. These topics can range from art to the sky and even tattoos. Once you pick your desired topics, they show up in your feed and you can save them, or add them to a board. You can make various boards to add your “pins” to.

Pinterest has such a great algorithm. If you save a pin to your board, view a picture, or download it, it will show that in your feed. For example, if you save a picture of an outfit on Pinterest, it will show more pictures of outfits on your feed the next time it refreshes. This can be really useful but if you don’t like that, you can turn off the home feed tuner in your settings.

Personally, I use Pinterest a lot. I use it on lots of various occasions. I sometimes use it when I want to find inspiration for an outfit for school the next day or when I want to get a haircut but don’t know what. I have many boards such as some boards for my home screen theme ideas and some boards for food recipe ideas. I really love Pinterest and I have started many of my hobbies because of it. I started to crochet because I found this one cute crochet miffy pouch on Pinterest and I have adored crocheting ever since. I really recommend Pinterest.
