Is it really just coming up with an idea and acting on it? I find it incredible how people on /i/-oekaki can simply come up with a cool looking OC and background. I can barely imagine something and draw it.I quit drawabox too. I felt like that course was draining what little motivation I had
creativity is rooted in desire. If you have no desires you will not have the desire to create the things you wish to see in this world. the thing is, many people simply learn to curb their desires and wishes because of reality and thus creativity dies.
>>7945427Why put in the agonizing, vulnerable work of creating the thing you wish to see when a corporation can stream a simulated, 80% accurate version of it directly into your eyes? Passive consumption acts like a local anesthetic on the desire to create. Creativity requires friction.
>>7945424it just comes with mileage
>>7945424How did you beat the captcha, clanker?
>>7945424I think creativity is something of a muscle - if you're not thinking about the characters from a show or property you just engaged with, and imagining them in different situations and how they'd react, to me it kind of feels like you didn't REALLY engage with the property.Likewise, do you not daydream?Do you not visualise how your day might go, or how certain scenarios may play out?I'm not saying your should force yourself to do these things, but I think creativity and this kind visual idleness are linked.That said, as the person above posted, I think simply putting in the mileage and drawing will also actively help train your mind's eye, so no need to force yourself to have a daydreaming habit.There's also a lot of methods out there to 'brainstorm', and practicing those methods will likely help your mind perform these acts naturally.
>>7945424So how long have you waited for this "idea" to show up so you could give yourself permission to draw? Did you consider just fucking drawing?
>>7945472but like... what, though
>>7945473Finding out is the fun part!
>>7945473my process always begins with shapes and go from there. let a piece form naturally
>>7945427This. For one to be creative is to take an existing concept and then come out with alternative methods of using them to solve problems that it wasn't meant to solve. If you don't want to learn, you will not be creative
i hope that you will one day find a character that you love so much that your only desire becomes the ability to depict them in as glorious a manner as they deserve>>7945427desire, interest and curiosity!
>>7945424Creativity is good but it can also hold you captive specially if you work only if you feel creative.If it comes note it down then process it later and keep working. When they come with things they do so because they have seen lot of things which expanded their mental library and thus they are able to use it and if you add creativity to it you are coming on top every time.
>>7945424Don't you have any (day)dreams?
>>7945424>I find it incredible how people on /i/-oekaki can simply come up with a cool looking OC and background95% of people on oekaki draws a random posed character on a white void what the flying fuck are you saying you turbo retard
>>7945427LOL STFU faggot
>>7945554welp, I mixed up a couple of those copy pasted ratings, like the anime girl with the dark purple alien that's random pose and actual bgEVEN THEN you can see most of it it's random poses and void bgs
>>7945473You just pet the dog.
>>7945555Ur on the wrong board. your only desire is tranny cock and bnwo on /gif/
>>7945424I think what you're describing just comes from imagination. Like when I'm bored or can't sleep, I close my eyes and just sorta let my imagination come up with little scenes, almost like movies or whatever. And it's not that I imagine every detail, just the broad strokes and when I draw it I further imagine what the gaps might look like.
https://youtu.be/nvKeu46jgwo?is=5Iq1DrDcn-odPbgsJohn Cleese on creativity. A worthwhile watch, imho.
>>7945424>drawaboxholy meme, do people really continue this shit past the 250 boxes? if you do you must really be boring.
>>7945424This retard fell for the box meme, lmaaaaao
>>7945554oh if the OP doesnt have a background then i guess nothing in the threads will either makes sense
creativity is your ability to imagine. visual imagination, semantic imagination, conceptual imagination, whatever form of imagination. Imagination is just our ability to create a model of the world inside our head.
>>7945424Creativity is rooted in The Lord.
>>7945748>Starts a thread with his own work>Starts with a subpar pic, and post the good shit like, later in the thread!Nobody ever works like that
>>7945424Read lots of books and comics. Watch lots of movies. Look at animals. Listen to all sorts of music. Pick up magazines to flip through. Write down your dreams. Listen and take note of the lives of the people around you.Combine all of that shit.
>>7945916>consume human idea>compile dozens of inspiration through your human brain >reproduce that idea into reality with your human body, using skill that you trained from yourself or other human for hours, days, weeks, months, or even years>somehow bald old man in the sky get all the credit for your works and effort
>>7945938you're retarded. try actually opening some of these threads, that is literally how many of them work
>>7946004What difference would it make if op actually posted his work?
>>7945424It's the difference between ensouled and soulless people, basically.
