What sparks your creativity?

And I like journaling in public because as you see things while you're writing, you can incorporate them into whatever it is you're working on. Whether that be a poem or a story or maybe you like to draw. I think the same thing applies to visual artists as well. I think inspiration can come from anywhere. Furthermore, I really like prompts. I don't know how helpful prompts can be to visual artists, but to writers, I think they can be really useful

Where do you find inspiration when you want to create but don't have a place to start? #creating #arts #music #creativity #writing #visualart

Emotions 💛✨

I find it hard to get inspired from physical places because I'm more of a songwriter, so I usually write my songs about feelings and those feelings have places associated with them without me having to go anywhere if that makes sense. But I really love this question and I look forward to hearing what other people have to say because it's also inspiring to me to hear what inspires other people. Bye

I bank visual prompts for later; also, a place based inspiration near me...

Back in the day when I used to Journal, I would Journal all the time, writing a bus or writing a training, and people watching would be an inspiration. But I would often write down a quote from a magazine, paste in an article or a quote from a book I was reading and use that as a prompt, and sometimes I wouldn't even put it on the page. I was doing it

For me, it's focus that leads to momentum and motivation

Sometimes I get into it and the painting is just I did it. I still didn't feel it the whole way through. And so I just toss the canvas to the side and I start something else just for fun, so to speak, and something really cool comes out of it. So I think for me it's playing with this idea of focus. A lot of times when I lack momentum, lack motivation. It's because I'm not focused

Find other people to inspire me

I enjoy watching videos on YouTube, from my favorite artists to people who really motivate me. And when I can do that, or if I don't feel like doing that, sometimes sometimes I'll just dance. And then when I dance, it really gets, like, my creative blood flowing. And I just want to create something new. Yeah. That's what I like to do
