Yesterday I sat down to work on a particular idea.
Yesterday I created something completely different.
Colours and materials were visible as I worked, enabling ideas to flow easily.
I had no plan other than to create.
Does it matter how I work? Not for me.
Ideas coalesce and move around before being expressed and represented in a design.
That makes creativity so interesting – that individual approach.
Some swear by using sketchbooks to flesh out concepts and ideas, yet others like to work intuitively, letting ideas evolve as they will.
I like to use both methods and find both successful.
Sometimes there’s nothing like using a large, clean sketchbook page that allows freedom to draw, make notes and research different creative pathways.
But working intuitively can bring similar success through advancing and progressing ideas as you work – problem-solving ideas as they arise is what pushes this method forward.
Creativity needs to be fostered – how you do it is up to you and what works for you.
And sometimes it’s refreshing and inspiring to move between the two.
