Those of us who love to craft probably think that being creative is something that we can only do in the real world.
We like to feel the yarn between our fingers and the smell the paint as we mix up that new shade of blue that will be just perfect for capturing the sky, and that’s fine.
However, it is not the only way to be creative.
Computers, tablets, and the internet have afforded us ample opportunities to be creative in the digital world too, and doing so is a great way to push the bounds of our creativity.
So, yes you might be annoyed by the sound of your noisy MacBook or you may find drawing with a digital stylus less intuitive, but don’t let that stop you from trying out various aspects of digital creativity for size because they might just surprise you.
With that in mind, here are some of the best ways you can be more creative online:
1. Make videos
You might think that making videos is as simple as filming whatever is around you and... well, basically that, but you’d be wrong.
Yes, anyone can point and shoot a video, but if you want that video to look amazing, then you need to not only find the best shots, but you need to learn how to edit them together in such a way that the cuts are seamless and the best footage is used to make art or tell a compelling story.
If you do it right, it will really test your creative limits.
2. Paint
If you’ve always wanted to try painting, but you don’t like the idea of making a mess, or you aren't good with mixing paints, then digital painting could be the creative pursuit you have been looking for.
All you need is a drawing tablet or an iPad with a stylus, and painting apps or software and you can get started creating unique painting that are every bit as impressive as physical works of art without the mess.
Painting digitally will also help you to use your creative mind in new ways, so even if you do love painting in the physical world, you should give digital art a try too.
3. Design your Own Crochet Patterns
If you love crocheting and you want to push your creativity further, why not use one of the many online crochet pattern tools to state designing your own unique crochet patterns that will enable you to use a different part of your brain and ensure that the next thing you crochet is even more special to you.
4. Write
On the web, the written word rules, so there are so many opportunities to get your creative juices flowing.
From blogging about your family life to self-publishing fiction for the Kindle, if you have a way with words, there are so many creative ways of exploring your talents in cyberspace.
As you can see, there’s more to creativity than the crochet hook in front of you!
