We started with a few questions regarding inspiration, and here’s what the artist had to say, “I’ve always admired French illustrators, with Jean-Jacques Sempé being a major influence on me. My encounter with his books during a trip around France was a revelation. It was incredible to see how he could convey powerful stories solely through illustrations, especially since I’ve never been great with words myself, despite studying English linguistics. His work truly opened my eyes to the potential of illustration.“RELATED:Art, in any form, requires a significant investment of time—not just in practice but also in production. We asked Lingvistov how long it typically takes to complete her comics.“It varies a lot. The actual drawing part is relatively straightforward, but the toughest challenge is coming up with the idea and mentally piecing it together. Sometimes inspiration strikes unexpectedly during the day (I always jot down notes on my phone), while other times, I spend a long time mentally crafting the concept.“Being an artist can be challenging, with issues like creative blocks and burnout frequently arising. We also inquired about the sources of inspiration for her comics. “Most of my ideas come from my own life and the lives of my friends. Daily experiences often spark inspiration, and sometimes I even ask my friends to share stories about their cats.“As mentioned earlier, creative work can often lead to burnout, so we asked the artist how she handles these challenges.“Burnout is a common issue in any profession, and I experience it too. Even though I’m very organized and diligent, there are days when I just can’t draw. When that happens, I try to be gentler with myself and avoid pushing too hard. I remember John Fowles’ advice about taking walks and seeking inspiration in nature—it’s a great way to recharge.“We also inquired about the public’s reaction to her work, and here’s what she told Bored Panda: “The best and most frequent response I get is the sense that I’ve captured their lives with a tiny camera in their homes! When people see themselves reflected in my work, it’s the highest compliment I could receive.“Continue reading with Bored Panda PremiumUnlimited contentAd-free browsingDark modeSubscribe nowAlready a subscriber?Sign InSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaModal closeAdd New ImageModal closeAdd Your Photo To This ListPlease use high-res photos without watermarksOoops!
