Looking for inspiration?

Just go outside and have a look around, take a look at your libary, turn on your television, listen to your favorite music, browse the galleries ....

And don't try to copy "big" artists, they may know a lot more then you (no offence meant), just get some experience before trying this.

Start with a simple scene, a plane, a character and place some spotlights (3 will be enough), use different colours and intensity settings, turn around the scene with your camera and every time you find an interesting point of vision do a render and do use shadows. And inspiration will come! ^_^
