1. Steal like an artist

Don't be afraid to borrow ideas from other artists. In fact, it's one of the best ways to learn and grow. Just be sure to give credit where credit is due.

2. Don't wait for inspiration

Inspiration is overrated. The best way to get started is to just start. Don't wait for the perfect idea to come to you. Just start working and see what happens.

3. Make time for yourself

It's important to make time for yourself to create, even when you're busy. Schedule some time each day to work on your creative projects, and stick to it.

4. Don't be afraid to fail

Failure is a natural part of the creative process. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Just learn from them and move on.

5. Be patient

Creativity takes time. Don't expect to become a master overnight. Just keep working at it, and you'll eventually see results.

6. Find a creative community

Surround yourself with other creative people. They can provide you with support and inspiration.

7. Take breaks

It's important to take breaks from your creative work. Go for a walk, read a book, or just relax. This will help you to clear your mind and come back to your work refreshed.

8. Experiment

Don't be afraid to experiment with different creative techniques. Try new things and see what works for you.

9. Keep a journal

A journal can be a great way to track your creative ideas and progress. Write down your thoughts, sketches, and experiments.

10. Find your own voice

Don't try to be someone you're not. Be true to yourself and your own unique creative voice.

Creativity is a lifelong journey. There will be times when you're feeling inspired and times when you're feeling stuck. But if you keep at it, you'll eventually develop your own unique creative style and voice.
