become a better artist

If you’re an aspiring artist, you would have met your worst enemy of all time: the art block. The worst thing about an art block is that many times, it is self-inflicted.

Here are some habits you must build to say goodbye to art blocks for good.

Bye-bye takers: Next time someone asks you for free artwork, say no. They do nothing but drag you down. Anything is more appreciable when it comes with a reward or a price.

Stop scrolling: The internet is the best thing when it comes to both amplifying or sabotaging your creativity. Try to choose your sources of inspiration from outside the screen.

Don’t try to be original: Instead of trying to draw something that is a hundred percent original (which is almost close to impossible), observe existing ideas from a unique perspective and express them authentically in your drawing.

Be grateful: In other words, stop being narcissistic, which is a complex that develops over time. The world doesn’t owe you anything just because you’re an artist. Be grateful for whatever gifts you have in life instead of expecting more of it.

Start enjoying your art life more with these habits.

Improving Creativity: Here are some tips

Creativity is multifaceted. The process usually involves inspiration followed by action. Creativity looks different for each individual.  

Did you know that meditation actually provides opportunities to boost and fuel your creativity without the downside of stress and unhappiness? There are some tips that you can follow to get the job done.

  • Be playful with your meditation as overthinking kills creativity and keeps your mind outward rather than inward.
  • Try silent individual meditation or try a group meditation. The energy of group meditation is very different than individual meditation. Sometimes change is exactly what’s needed to the creative engine. 
  • Creativity comes in many forms. For example, that your personal style, how you deliver reports at works all require creativity, or how you plate your food. Put your attention on creativity and watch it blossom. Heighten your awareness of where you are creative to train your brain to think creatively.

Creativity isn’t reserved for certain people who are inspired or more unique, it’s in us all waiting for a chance to come out.
