How to get inspired to create cool speedpaints?
Looking for a source of inspiration? Here are some of the best tips to inspire yourself when you’re out of ideas:
- Go for a walk, get distracted: being outdoors is always beneficial because it allows us to relax your mind and surround yourself with interesting stimulations that will promote new ideas and associations
- Look at the speedpaints of other creators (below we will include a list of some that can help inspire you): seeing their technique and what they’re drawing can move you to try your own version or even something completely new.
- Challenge yourself: every day new challenges come up online to try out new techniques or ideas, be part of them! If you don’t like that kind of challenges, try to do something you find very challenging, set yourself a goal and follow it day by day.
- Don’t force it: if inspiration doesn’t come, don’t stay at the table waiting for something to happen, it just doesn’t work that way. Go out, do something you enjoy, surround yourself with an interesting context, like a museum or a concert. On your return, inspiration will come easily and you’ll be able to start your speedpaint right away.
