I’ve developed the habit of drawing, but my mind still goes blank whenever I look at a blank sheet of paper. How do I improve my creativity? Do I really need to read books or watch shows?

That's good, now you can force the pencil against the surface and make random squiggles. Let the forms emerge out of them.

Fuck creativity. You don't need it. You just need someone to KICK YOU IN THE FUCKING HEAD AND FORCE YOU TO DRAW YOU FUCKING MAGGOT!

Creativity is just manifested, observed taste. If you have narrow taste and don't like looking at a lot of art or engaging with ideas, there probably isn't much you can do to enhance it. That said, everyone has *some* taste. I personally look at Pinterest for ideas. See what it's recommending you after a couple days of using it to get a sense of what interests you.

You and I are different. If I were to explain to you, you wouldn't comprehend, because apparently you have Aphantasia.

I can see images in my mind but they look blurry.

then don't do that
if you're drawing digitally, copy paste some cool drawings you made in the past. copy paste your favorite stuff. copy paste whatever matches the style or theme of whatever you want to start drawing next. copy paste random anatomy studies. then draw next to it
if you're not drawing digitally, I'm sure you can just pull up an old sketch book next to whatever blank page you're drawing on currently

Just ask AI what to draw if you cant figure it out

I always just say to pick a random theme and draw around that for the day.
So just find a random word generator, generate a word, make drawings based on said word.

You are correct but you could have been a bit nicer about it..
True Creativity stems from the void you can only tap when you become one with nothing

for me its all about being curious
i look for things im interested in then i learn about them then i think about how i can apply that knowledge. this has a compounding effect. the more things you learn, the more material you have to manipulate and the more opportunity to apply it all in different contexts
creativity is a really strange magical thing that i don't think neuroscience has figured out yet. it's especially strange that you're at your most creative state when you're bored in which ideas seem to propagate from nowhere and suddenly

stopped reading at this point
keep it up, you're gonna make it
