Unrelated: Boosting Creativity Through Limitations and Constraints

Do you need help in your creative process? Do you want to take your art to the next level? It's time to embrace limitations and constraints to boost your creativity. Working with limited resources can be challenging, but it can also be an opportunity to innovate and think outside the box. Don't let a lack of resources hinder your creativity; instead, use it as a catalyst for your imagination.

When sharing your work with the world, the internet is your best friend. Establish a website and social media presence to connect with others and showcase your art. Consider posting reviews of books that inspired you, highlighting what made each memorable. Share your completed work and the creative process behind it, allowing others to learn from you and vice versa. Consider how you should make it once you've decided what to create. Avoid using a computer at the beginning of your creative process, and incorporate an analog component. This will help you refrain from censoring your ideas before exploring them fully. Only use a computer when you get to the editing stage of your project.
