When our creative efforts begin to look like things we've seen before or starts to lack in being fresh & unique, not standing out among the rest, then it's time to stretch our creativity and boost our imaginative skills to produce results that will improve our drawing, writing, and more! Enjoy my 10 ways to improve imagination!
1. RECOGNIZE CLICHES
2. AVOID THE OBVIOUS
3. TRANSMOGRIFY
4. 1 + 1 = 3
5. EXAGGERATION
6. OBFUSCATE
7. INVERTING IDIOMS
8. ABSTRACTION
9. CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
10. SEEK THE EXTRA-ORDINARY
