3  Practical Ways to get out of Creative Block!



1) Make some Nonsense stuff!

Yes, you’ve to! It actually means, ‘Allow yourself to fail’.

Sometimes, you need to spend some time for yourself and yeah, it’s necessary. So, make some art for yourself NOT FOR your followers on social media…

Here are some non-sense drawings I made which I DID NOT post on my socials:




2)  Entertain Yourself!

Sometimes you might go through a creative block just because Your Creative Bank Account has zero balance in it… So, go & watch some movies/TV shows to entertain yourself and fill up your creative bank Account. 

Or maybe, read some story books or Comic books! Those're great options too!

3)  Participate in DTIYS!

This is exactly what I did! Participating in DTIYS is a really great way of being free from your Creative Block! By participating in these, you can make an illustration without stressing yourself! And, you’ll be easily out of your Creative lull.

What is DTIYS?

For those who don't what a "DTIYS" is, it actually means, 'Draw This in Your Style'. It's a challenge where an artist draws something from imagination and calls out other artists to draw that same drawing in their own way, or what others like to say, "Style".

And, this is exactly what I did! Participating in DTIYS is a really great way of being free from your Creative Block! By participating in these, you can make an illustration without stressing yourself! And, you’ll be easily out of your Creative lull.

Here is the illustration of my participation in a DTIYS hosted by my artist-friend,  Abby KM Treviño !

 


That's it for today's short blog!
Have a great day ahead!




 

I'm a beginner who started drawing from January 2021... I'm here to share my experiences throughout this journey called "art"... My blogs are all about drawing, sharing the challenges I faced and the mistakes I made in this journey... Please, this is NOT an advice session... I'm just a beginner. Do you think I'm capable enough to give YOU advice!? I myself have a long way to go...

  Hello there! A warm welcome to the first ever Blog of 'Rule of 3rd's'! Since, this is the first time... So... there might be some errors... but I hope you'll enjoy it! So, without wasting any time, let's dive right into today's topic! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Creative Bank Account   Has this ever happened to you that you sit down to draw or write a story or maybe even you sit down to write that essay to complete your homework to turn it in to the teacher the next day, and you don’t have any ideas on that particular topic??? Or, you’re completely clueless about what to do…   Well… that’s because your creative bank account is empty ! Let’s think of an ordinary bank account. You need to make a deposit to actually withdraw from it. Whenever we need to buy something, we burst open our piggy bank to get some money to afford that particular thing. Same is the thing w...

Everyone want's to improve in drawing, right? Everyone wants to make masterpieces... But how to actually excel in that? What should we focus on? How can we improve ourselves effectively? To find out, keep on reading! QUALITY VS. QUANTITY This is a quite debated topic. We often hear people say, quality of a product is what matters and not on the quantity. Well… When it comes to drawing, it’s just the opposite!  What’s the biggest fear before starting to draw? Yes, we are afraid of the OUTCOME. And, that’s the reason why most people are AFRAID of art. We always have the mentality that, whatever we do, it should be PERFECT but NO, it’s not just about art, rather, about life in general. The thing is, the more you put in the work, the more you’re going to get good at it! Yeah! That’s the key right there! If you want to be a poet, go start writing poems. At the beginning, it’s obvious that you’ll write crappy poetry at the beginning, but the more you write, the more you’re going to learn...

Creativity thrives with constraints - WHAT!?

  Creativity is free- It cannot be held back- Imagination is beyond the clutches of the material world- It cannot be hindered! Okay okay it’s enough! I get your point. But just allow me to place a different side of the coin– Let’s get into this like this- What if I tell you that Creativity actually thrives with constraints. Sorry, but I would like to agree to this point that Jake Parker seems to make pretty much every time. No, I totally agree with that! Creativity THRIVES with CONSTRAINTS. Why am I making this point? Well, have you ever wondered the actual reason why artists resort to “art-prompts” before beginning an illustration? The reason is none other than creating a perimeter before beginning an illustration! Creating a perimeter for the thoughts to channel in a particular direction so that we can come with a unique idea! Isn’t it? Yeah that is it! Like, I’ve set myself a timer of half an hour to finish this blog as I’m writing it :) This is why we’re given literal ‘topics’ ...
