So you want to draw something but you don't know where to begin. You have an idea in your mind but you don't know how to put it down. You are struggling with the idea of how to draw creatively. You are frustrating because you don't know what to do and ready to give up on drawing. Well, the entire creative process is like this: "you take something and do something to it, and do something else to it. Keep doing this, and pretty soon you've got something new". There are seven exercises that will boost your creativity. Doodling: that's right, doodles. How many times did you sit through boring classes and draw a bunch of doodles on your notebooks? Beside, you don't have to be an artist because everyone can doodle. It helps generating the ideas that pop up in your mind no matter how vague they are. To doodle is to get something on paper, no matter how rough, incomplete or simple. Drawing a new reality: Imagination is tightly link to observation. Through observation, we can draw objects. But through imagination, we can make those objects more interesting. For example, you draw a horse, but what would happen if you add butterfly's wings on his back? The horse becomes "fairy horse", more interesting, isn't it? That is how you draw a new reality. Stretching the truth: it is all about finding ways of intensifying and dramatizing your subjects to inspire a new emotion in your viewer. A normal drawing is boring, but an exaggerated or distorted drawing of the same objects tends to touch the viewer on an emotional level, inviting them to see it in a new way. It makes familiar strange. Visualizing ideas: ideas are something that happens in the mind. They are usually fragments-bits and pieces that need to be assembled to create a cohesive whole. Because a metal image often fades quickly, capturing it on paper is the key to visualizing. To sum it up, if you have something in your mind, just sketch it down before it goes away. Most of the time it will not end up as you planned. That's okay; you can't predict where it will take you. Let it flows and you can end up with something new. That is the nature of creativity. Storytelling: Storytelling is an exploration of the close connection between words and images.Let's say you just read a novel, you know the story and you are visualizing it. This is where you put down your pen and start drawing. In fact, all movies, video games and comic books were created this way. Exploring pattern: There are patterns all around us. They are on your clothes, on your floor, on your wall... the world is one big pattern. By exploring them, we are creating new possibilities. For example, you just draw a flower with an interesting pattern. Now swap it with patterns from insects and what do you get? Whole new species were created in matter of minutes. Mining culture: Most of the artists stick to the world as they know it, because it is safe, comfortable and familiar. But there are artists who think different. They jump into the uncertainty with no ideas about the outcome. They try things that they aren't good at. They look closely at and experiments with strange and unfamiliar source. That is why they are better artists. You have to think outside of the box. The world is vast. There are many cultures with endless possibilities, thus exploring them
