  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I`ve been wanting to draw for years, but i just suck at being creative, i can sit with my pencils, paper and rubber but not think of anything.
I like drawing well most times i do, it`s just i can`t draw creatively, i would like to draw pictures of Jesus and biblical drawings and other stuff, but i just can`t get my brain to be creative, i did one drawing from my head, but it ain`t that creative though?
I see loads of gorgeous drawings that have come from peoples mind and tbh it does feel me with a bit of envy and it gets me frustrated.(as soon as i said envy i feel a bit more upset/bit away from god,maybe i`ve sinned but it`s a good sin,because i`d be so content with drawing more than playing on my console.)
But that`s just it i`d like to draw both what comes from my mind and what`s in the physical but i find it so hard.
So how do you, (both you personally and generally) find/get creativity?

Thank and bless you.

Becoming positive helps. Studies indicate this helps in developing the right side of the brain.

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, positive moods can increase your ability to think creatively. According to Dr. Adam Anderson, senior author of the study, "If you are doing something that requires you be creative or be in a think tank, you want to be in a place with good mood." Focus on eliminating negative thoughts or self-criticisms that may impair your ability to develop strong creative skills.

Explore your courious side and do not be afraid to take a few risks. I find most creative people to be observers, they pay attention to details, are patient and like any other skill a bit of practice is invovled. The person with a good voice, must learn to breath as well as the music scales.

Good Luck-I do not have the eye nor the desire to learn to draw or sew, but I so admire the work of those who do. :)
