Today, may I share with you How we can train our brain to think faster at getting ideas?
As a beginner, we often face the blank page. We just start a project that our mind suddenly seems so empty we could hear the crickets. :P It is sometimes a source of stress or impatience. But don’t worry it’s normal. Getting ideas can be trained. Let me share with you a technique I personally like as it gives us a lot of freedom.
If you are new at Photoshop, feel free to get introduced to Photoshop brushes here:

Explore ideas like how you could do with a Brainstorming. It’s somehow like a “Visual brainstorming” though. Most innovations come from idea association. That’s what we are going to work on.
This exercise uses the Random product technique we saw in a previous article. The trick here is to keep drawing having your pen always in movement as well as your ideas will flow in your mind. (As usual, do not use any eraser as it will stop your flow of ideas). Before starting, gather a few inspirational pictures you like. Keep them in front of you, and spot some interesting details before starting to sketch for a couple of minutes. Then start! From there you associate, dissociate, transform, extract the elements and import them in your sketches. Do not remain on only one sketch, do a few or as many as you can. Anytime, feel free to go back to a previous one or even combine the sketches you have done together. It’s really free!
For now, the products you will draw may not make sense for the real-world application – as you will more or less gather the elements randomly. But as soon as your brain will be more used to this “flow of ideas routine”, you will be even more prepared the day you have to follow guidelines. That’s how you will raise your chances to add in unexpected touch to the project. :)
As a Bonus,
I added a quick tutorial about Digital rendering with Photoshop. Let me know if it’s something that interests you. If you are, let me know in the comments, so I will do some more.
