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.
