What do you do to relieve your creativity?

Truth be told,  I've been in a creative slump or quite some time now -_- I used to be able to draw, write,  play music,  anything; now, I strain myself coming up with a single idea.

 

I don't know what happened, but if any of you have leftover creativity like the OP mentioned, I'm accepting donations :D

If I really get an art block and can't think of anything, I'll listen to inspirational music (take Kingdom Hearts' soundtrack for example).

Though I usually do it for epic poses of characters it may help me think of something else, too.

But music is the answer.

I look at the world around me. Even though my home town may not be as interesting as say the Amazon rain forest or Giant's causeway in Ireland, i may see inspiration in something. My mum, dad and even my friends have always said that i've had a good attention to detail, even though some of my pieces may not further prove that statement, but i've always been called a daydreamer because i've been staring at something that could be something if a little bit of creativity was put into it.

@@tripfly,

What stuff do you use to sculpt? I've been wanting to try it out but I'm not too sure what to buy.

 

The question:

I mainly sketch and doodle. I have watercolour pencils so I don't know if I paint or not. Oh well. ^_^

If I'm feeling good, I draw. Not well, but it gets the idea out. If I can't muster the drive, I'll daydream about it for a while and try to carry on with my day. Even though I'm not very creative, my biggest problem isn't getting ideas, it's having the drive to put them to paper.

 

Back in high school I designed  knives and started compiling a zombie survival guide. The "guide" is just a pile of notes, but someday I'd like to take up smithing/metalwork and try to actually make some of them (that happens to be part of the 'daydream' portion...)

I always have the impulse to do something stupid or another, but it's almost always the case that it's beyond my technical ability. My imagination is overly ambitious, I guess. For now, I usually just have to try my best and accept the inevitable subpar results. But I'm never shot for ideas.

I get moments of hyperfocus, which believe it or not is a symptom of ADD. So I'll go into a crafting frenzy and forget to eat or sleep or feed my poor dog lol. But I don't ever try to force it; I just wait for it to happen organically, because otherwise I can't focus long enough to finish anything. :P

This may sound weird or dumb, but  I usually end up listening to music while looking at pictures from whatever show,movie,story, and I start creating fanfics in my head  like I am watching a movie in my head. 

 

Though the stupid thing is I have never  actually written any of them down because I get a little bit of anxiety about what people with think of them,  things like "oh this is a dumb fic" or "the  people are  out of character"  Also my punctuation is usually horrible.

 

Yeah  the right music and a picture of the characters I can usually come up with something, I just have to overcome fear.

This isn't weird at all. I do this sometimes too. Don't let the public make you scared, write your fic!

I have somewhat the same problem, in which I don't really draw or write like I used to.

I have however, been working a lot in photoshop lately.

 

Edit: really, mobile? You cant make quotes? Thanks for making me look stupid.

Moved to General Discussion, as this has nothing to do with ponies.

 

In the pasr I wrote fanfics, then I wrote and still sometimes weite big overanlytical topics, and now I tend to use it for growing DA groups and other small self-made communities of mine.

I attempt to draw, but fail miserably at it and feel worse than I did before.

I put my stupidly big skullcandies on put my music on random and I go for a 5 mile walk. In this time I create scenes of action, sadness or love then I go home and right the down for later use. 8)
