Inspiration for Ideas

Whenever I feel like learning something new, I like to go on the internet and look at other peoples work. This gives me ideas. I also like to walk outside and analyze my surroundings. It seems weird but it actually helps. For example, if I wanna draw something I'll go on the computer and look at someone else's drawings for inspiration. I also go out and look at the people and scenery outside to get new observations. This gives me a broad idea and allows me to learn more.
