Creating Your Own Creativity Hub
Creating your own creativity hub might sound a little strange. What is it and what do I need it for? We’ve all fallen down the bottomless pit of the creative block. That miserable time where creativity eludes you and you create nothing new for days, weeks, or months.
What it is, is a simple source of inspiration.
In a previous post, 7 Tips to Avoid Creative Block, I discussed seven practical tips to help jump start your lagging creativity, or avoid it altogether. I neglected to list this one back then, so I’m giving it its own space here.
How to Create Your Own Creativity Hub
The idea is so simple, you can start now. In a nutshell, a creativity hub is a folder you’ll create on your computer specifically for images that you love. When you’re running low on ideas for a drawing project, you can browse through your file to get those creative juices flowing.
How you create this hub is entirely up to you. If you just want to dump a mountain of images in there, that’s up to you. Personally, mine is organized by creating subject folders within my hub. For example, I have folders for animals, landscapes, cityscapes, other artists’ work, sci-fi, just to name a few.
