It hits every artist sometime. The Inertia Fairy lands on your drawing pad and drives you crazy. You can’t think of what to draw. What should you do?

I’ll tell you what not to do: Don’t wait for the Inertia Fairy to fly away. Artists often believe they must “feel it” to draw it. Here’s the trick: you don’t feel creative? Draw anyway. Draw anything. Making mistakes? Oh well. Keep drawing. Soon, and most likely very soon, something will click, and you’ll be on your way.

“Wait, you’re not saying you should just force creativity, are you?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” Give yourself a push in the right direction. See if it works for you, and let me know.

Until next time,

Christopher Hart
