Spring has sprung, it's the perfect time to spruce up your creative habits!


Just like you might declutter your home or workspace to make room for new things, you need to declutter your mind and habits to make room for new ideas and creative growth.

Here are 5 great ways to freshen up your creative habits:

  1. Dust off your drawing skills: Just like you might dust off your shelves during a good spring cleaning, it's time to dust off your drawing skills. Try a new technique, experiment with a new medium, or revisit an old project. Make a habit of drawing every day, even if it's just for 15 minutes. 

  2. Tidy up your workspace: A clean workspace can do wonders for your creativity. Take time to declutter, organize your supplies, and add a little personality to your space. 

  3. Shake things up: Spring is all about change, so shake things up in your creative routine. Try drawing in a new location, at a different time of day, or in a new medium. 

  4. Plant some new creative seeds: I love planing wildflowers during the spring, but this is also a great time to cultivate some creative seeds in your mind. Set a new goal, start a new project, or commit to finishing a new piece for your portfolio.

  5. Clean out your creative closet: Dust off your old artwork, and see if there's anything that you can repurpose or revitalize. Maybe there's a sketch that you never finished or a project that you can update. Revisit your old work with fresh eyes, and see if there's anything you can breathe new life into. (TIP: a great idea for when you're stuck in a creative rut!)


Spring cleaning your creative habits doesn't have to be a chore.

In fact it is a great way to make room for new ideas and cultivate some wonderful creative habits for yourself.
