Knowledge is power and Einstein has said that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. But where does imagination come from? Imagination is the ability to take limited and random information and make a leap into magic.
A simple process of training your mind. We all have the creative spark when we are children. It’s as we grow older that we become ridged and stifle our imaginations.
A way to restart our imaginations is to see the imaginations in others. Seek inspiration where ever you can. to that end I have a couple of fun web sites and magazines that I can recommend to inspire. Spend time in the book store just checking out the magazines to find something on your own. But while your there look for Step by Step magazine, How magazine or Cinefex just to name a few.
The web is an infinite source to inspire. some really fun web sites that I recommend are....

http://animationbackgrounds.blogspot.com/
Darkroastblend.com is full of random images to inspire and jog the brain into new directions. Character design.blogspot has interviews with amazing artists and examples of their work. It takes a while to load if you have a slow connection but has beautiful work to inspire.
Animation backgrounds.blogspot allows you to explore the beautiful work and varied styles of animation backgrounds. So many times we can’t focus on the amazing work because of the action in front.
Use all the sources available to you.
