Hello, Artenauta! Are you in one of those moments when creativity doesn’t seem to wake up? Want to practice and don’t know what to draw? Are you looking for new ideas for your works?

Don’t despair! Here we are going to give you a series of tips to activate your creativity, as well as some ideas for your drawings that, depending on the degree of difficulty you want to apply to them, can be done in a simple way or with the highest level of realism and detail.

Tips for those days when we feel uninspired

  • Go for a walk: a change of environment, observing other scenarios and realities, can help us attract new ideas.
  • Read a book: we can find inspiration in a scene, a character, in the author’s description of a situation?
  • Watching a movie: as in the previous examples, a change of situation can help get ideas flowing.
  • Leave perfectionism aside: the important thing is to find the idea that will be the subject of our work; we will have time to make changes and corrections later.
  • Write down all the ideas that come to mind, without discarding any of them, and then develop those that you feel like developing the most.
