0. ask yourself for what purpose you want to be creative, make sure you’re satisfying that purpose. for the most part, other people won’t care if your work is derivative, or they’ll see your stuff and say “hey that looks like something (artist you never heard of) drew” anyway

1. expand your inspiration outside of works of art. if you are only putting art into the stew it’s probably gonna be similar to other art. looking at your surroundings and picking what things you haven’t seen drawn a lot is good.

2. understand that the idea-forming process is based on manipulating existing ideas, not on random inspiration. if all ideas were random, then no art would mean anything.

here is the process i went through forming an idea, right now: my writing on the page next to me looks like a pattern. i’ve been thinking a lot recently about quilts, fashion, patterns, and how they can be used in art. maybe a pattern based on handwriting would be cool. i saw a painting of a court yesterday with very nice lighting, i think i will also use high-contrast, bright white lighting. i want to draw a lady and i want to draw big swooping curves. i’m going to draw a lady bunching her huge, richly patterned dress while she steps over a mirror. there are vines in the background and it’s dark.

ofc the process varies. this is a drawing that would mostly be fun to do. if i wanted to express an idea of emotion, i’d start with that, and end up with a more meaningful artwork. good luck

Illustrating scenes you've read.
Art prompt generators.
Start a comic without writing a script and see where it takes you.
Add 1 strange element in a normal setting (e.g. knights checking their smartphone, INSTANTLY EPIC CREATIVITY).

Also start taking notes of interesting things.

Just search some niche you’re into, you will probably like at least something, sci di, cyberpunk, Roman history, rap, just search related images and see what you like

Although I think that some people are just more creative in general

Think of some movie/show/anime you like and combine some aspects of each together, everything that seems original is based off something the creator has seen before even if they don't realize it, psychedelics/lucid dreaming can facilitate this process or alternatively just get extremely bored by disconnecting from the internet/any kind of on demand stimulation (tv, music) and your mind will come up with things on its own to entertain yourself

give yourself limitations and challenges.
do pieces based on color palette generators, try to do a whole painting with just one tool. try to change the mood/ atmosphere of a scene. prioritize quick and loose itteration over highly polished work. if a painting comes out stiff or dull, do another pass right over the top and try to push for expressiveness.
also don't stress too much about being boring. ime most people go through a boring and stiff /int/ phase where you're just starting to draw things that look how you want them to look but you haven't developed the skills or the creative muscles to fully make use of that yet. most importantly, stop being afraid of doing a bad drawing. everything you draw is just a blueprint for something better.

>derivative
if you are trying to get social media numbers, normies want the same shit over and over with little deviation. if you are trying to impress other artists, draw gestures, study, draw from life and expand your visual library(doing studies, drawing gestures and drawing from life)

Try drawning a wide array of things, if needed copy different styles and take a detailed look at things you find interesting even copy them if oyuwant. These can be anything the natural world, folk art, clothing, fashion, heradlry, architecture, vehicles, machines anything. The world is full of interesting stuff you just need to keep your eyes open bear Anon.

The most creative person ive seen on this board has been Sculptor Anon and the only reason he has so many ideas apparently is because hes unironically a fucking schizophrenic.

Unironically, OP, try Inktober.
Like most anons on the thread, the thing is not to be absolutely free, but the opposite: Have boundaries, and do whatever you can within them.
1 piece a day, so don't overextend on long stuff.
One topic, some of them are pretty abstract, do whatever feels like it would represent that topic.
Some will be really specific, try to to anything related to the topic, but not the absolute obvious, and see what you can come up with.
That's it.
