5 Ways to Boost Creativity
How you, as an artist, can get your creative juices flowing
February 5, 2018
- Listen to music. Listening to music always helps inspire me when I want to make art. Make a playlist based around the mood you’re trying to portray in your artwork and play it in the background as you create.
- Take some alone time to think. Go for a drive or take a long shower and clear your mind— my best ideas always come to me when I do this. It gives you time to really think about the direction you’re trying to take your artwork in.
- Follow artists on social media. I follow tons of artists to gain inspiration. It will help you discover concepts and techniques you can later interpret in your own way. Have a folder where you can save some of your favorite artworks.
- Never stop creating. Even when you’re feeling drained, still make art. This totally helps you discover new ideas and can help you determine what you do and don’t like.
- Make room for improvement. Reflect on your best and worst works and ask yourself what you can do to improve. In art, you can always get better no matter what.
