When a creative has forgotten to do their practice, some get stuck. As we all know, practice makes perfect so it’s important to have ideas for that. Right?
Creative Ideas for Practice #3
At some point of our respective creative journeys, we face humps that would hinder us from achieving our greatest skills and talents. Of course, I do not want anyone to get stuck at some point within their creative journey. Honestly, I present you with ideas to help you with your practice.
#1 Pet Peeves
Now, don’t be fooled by the prompt but this means, something that a person finds annoying. By all means, it’s not the pet that you dream of having. Now, what could possibly annoy you?
Some of the things that can annoy people generally are:
- People who use “stuffs” as a noun
- Loud chewing
- Drivers who just cut their way in the driveway all the time
About your pet peeves, illustrating it or scribbling it is suggested. However, it depends on how is your process.
#2 Favorite Dog Breed
It’s obvious that I’m a dog lover but have I shared my favorite dog breed? Well, I have always leaned on taking care of large breed dogs. And, I have five (5) dogs left at home, in the province.
Here are the five (5) dog breeds:
- Labrador Retriever
- Labrador Mix (2)
- Chiweenie (Dachshund x Chihuahua)
- Mongrel (mix breed)
But, how can you do it?
- Write it, possibly their names.
- Illustrate them, through ink, pencil or even with paint.
- Take photos of your dog and you could paint it digitally.

For sure, watching a few episodes will ignite those creative hands and eyes and will lead you back to your first love. That is, the creative path.
