How do I become more creative?

I'm currently studying for my college degree in design. I think I'm really good at drawing and painting, but when I'm asked to create something from scratch, I just can't think of anything, or I can't do it the way I want, and it looks terrible. How can I get better at it?

I know you probably don’t want to hear that right now, but I’m sorry.

Start small – for example in the Boku No Hero Academia universe you liked:

  1. Search for different character designs and locations Backgrounds, print the pictures and look at them for a while. Watch details.
  2. Turn the printed images on the back.
  3. Let your imagination run free and create your own scenario, which would otherwise never have happened, and start your drawing process.
  4. If you don’t know, turn some printed images back and look again to get a little more inspiration and attention to detail.
  5. Repeat these steps regularly with different character styles as well as scenarios to strengthen your imagination.
  6. If you have done exercises like these often enough, you can try your own character and world design.

Good luck and fun! 🙂

Below is an example scenario that I have just thought out. If you use it, I would be happy to see the final result of it;-)

Katsuki Bakugō stands at the refrigerator in the UA residential building and wants to eat something, but Ochako Uraraka today has a naughty day, which is why it leaves the refrigerator to float, more and more foods are flying out of the partly opened refrigerator, while Bakugō snaps out and Tsuyu Asui enjoys a few of the fruits flying around her frog tongue. Eijirō Kirishima is laughing.

Interestingly, I could have asked 😀 I did last year at a gymnasium focusing on art my school and my third subject was design . I would also say that I paint very well, but I can’t think of something free. I also thought and worries about this when I was preparing for the school. I believe it has helped me to learn the rules of design and to look at many examples. I think if you have the basics on it, you can do a lot of it. In the exam we had to design and analyze an advertising campaign for WWF and it worked very well with me:) (Although I am not creative)

At some point, you can also see that hardly anyone can get the ideas right away, but that it is always a way.

I would think you can only be creative if you are totally convinced that you should really do something – or would like to represent.

If you get a job at school, that’s what you want to get a good censorship for it.
So you’re struggling and it’s even fun because you want to achieve the goal.

But if there is no such aim, there is no need to do anything.

In it, the whole secret can lie around the flick of the work.

Creativity sounds easier than it is! As someone had written, I would also give you the tip to start small, for example, try to make something from a plastic bottle. Sounds silly but stimulates imagination. Children have a lot more imagination than adults, as they make a lot more, role-playing or playing than adults. When crafting you can become very creative as it is neither wrong nor correct. As far as this is concerned, I don’t know that well. Maybe help you with simple motives? Can you do it badly because you don’t have your goal in front of you (how the picture should be) …?
I hope I could somehow help you…

Good luck!

Oh, I’m afraid that’s related to talent. If you can learn it, I want to doubt it.

Maybe just practice, over and over. Or ask the course manager.

I think this is innate, you can also learn and creativity has everyone in certain masses. You can also learn/improve
