Avoiding influencers and cookie cutter ideas

One of the ways you ruin your artistic brain is by relying on the internet for all your ideas, scrolling mindlessly through social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. By only surrounding yourself with people who share the same thoughts and accepting average conversations, your creativity suffers. It's important to challenge yourself and avoid blending in with the norm. Additionally, don't settle for the first thing that comes out of your pen, brush, or instrument and avoid being satisfied with mediocrity.
