Alphabet Soup Story - collage by douglas brent smith
You can probably remember a time in your life when you doodled a lot. Sometimes we draw less as we get older. It happens, but it doesn't HAVE to happen. We can keep drawing. We can keep sketching. And, when we do it fuels our creativity.
Try bringing that same spirit of improvisation to some random, spontaneous drawing. it doesn't have to be good (although it might be!) -- it just has to flow.
This is sa drawing I made in 1976. I'm fairly certain, although that was a long time ago, that I drew it in one sitting, without doing anything else.
Remember, it doesn't need to be great art to help your creativity.

Is your creative space suitably creative?
Or, to be fair, is every place your creative space?
Drawing: Street Scene Purple, by douglas brent smith
from Journal #7, The Eclectic Trance Dance, 1974
Imagine. Believe. Breathe. Start: it is OK to be exactly who you are.
Who are you?
Work with that.

You've been asked to design a city. Why does it look like and what is it like to live there?
