This week we are joined by our friend Sharnee Taylor, a Melbourne based Illustrator. Some of Sharnee’s best ideas hit just before falling asleep. It’s fascinating - often when we switch off from a particular project, the best ideas start to flow. While scrolling through the internet can be a good starting point for awakening the imagination, too much of it can leave us frazzled. Lil nugs: Get away from the computer if you feel you have hit a creative block. Sometimes just moving to another part of your workspace can help. It can be really helpful to organise sources of inspiration into folders so that they are easy to sift through next time you have a similar project. Make your own references of things where possible. For example, take your own photo or do your own sketch rather than saving a google image. Having a wide range of sources of inspiration will lead to more unique and interesting work.
