“You can’t use up creativity.

The more you use, the more you have.” ~ Maya Angelou 

Being creative is a state of mind and daily creative practice helps keep you in the game. But what happens when a creative block strikes and you feel stuck? Don’t wait for creative inspiration to show up, get out your sketchbook, pens, pencils, or paints, and start playing. 

One of the best ways to work through a creative block is with a sketchbook challenge. We’ve curated a list of 5 challenges that are excellent resources and sure to help you be more creative!
