Creativity is all about coming up with new ideas, interpretations and methods and involves thinking and exploring what goes through your mind. It’s a quality that should be encouraged in all walks of life. Regardless of whether you are naturally imaginative or not, you need to feed your creative side with inspirational material, give it the time and attention it needs and let it run free.
But we all have to start somewhere - when you're a toddler, you learn to walk. Nobody thinks less of you because you can't walk. When you start going to school, you have to learn how to write, and nobody thinks any less of you because you can't write.
The same goes for drawing - it's an art that can be learnt, like wood carving or pottery, and certainly nobody thinks any less of you because you can't do pottery!
Don't be afraid to copy. That's what art is!
It's all copied, even from nature, we just use our own interpretation on how we see things. The trick is to draw what you see, not what you know. And we all see things differently. You can give the same subject to two different students to draw, and the outcome for each will be totally different.
Keep a record of your work and date it so you can see how much improvement you have made over a period of time. The self-satisfaction you get from that is your encouragement to continue. The more you practice, the more progress you'll make and the key is repetition and learning from your mistakes.
The secret is to begin - anywhere.   | | |
