How do you become more creative?

Posted by EpikHellSword - March 15th, 2024


I haven't made anything creative in years. I mean the last "creative" thing I achieved was asking what alien hominid's eyeballs taste like. But honestly even that isn't creative. I ask this for multiple reasons. The main one is because there is a writing prompt in my art class that asks me what I would create for graffiti and I legitimately have no idea. I just can't imagine anything anymore and I noticed this before but never had to deal with it until now when I actually have to create something.

Subject yourself to new experiences. Do/Watch things you haven't been confident or comfortable with before. Learn about different cultures. (Ideally, you should travel the world, but that can become a bit pricey...) Watch documentaries (filmed by _actual_professionals_ - not just some YouTube videos with 2M views...). Browse Wikipedia. Try out several new podcasts. Visit a local museum. Take a pause and look up every now and again when you're out for a walk.

The more you know about the world the easier it will become to imagine new things.

And of course: Practice. Knowledge and experiences will get you far, but actually trying to channel them into 'something' again and again 'and again' is crucial.

Best of luck. :)

Thank you for the advice.

You're welcome.

^ I have really bad eyesight and several eye issues. I guess I can create something out of that. Thanks for helping me create the idea.

daydream more and embrace all kinds of existential horror approaching while doing so

Mmmm. I've been doing that but it got dull. I mean I've done that for 10 years straight so eventually I got bored with my sadomasochistic serial killer shtick and stopped. To be honest I wanna branch out away from that since I did it for so long.

Knives, blood, bdsm, hurting people, choking, and whatever tf else I was before. I wanna try something new. Something different.
