    Default What creative skills do you have

    exactly what it says on the tin, what creative skills have you got?

    Hmm, I think I shall start, I've a beginner on the wood carving scene, this piece being an old one I did.



    What can you do?

    I had an experience in the field of graphic and web design, which you can find scattered in the Graphics forum. Aside that, I'd say I'm as creative as a goose.

    Hmm. If it counts, then writing. Not in English of course, I'm not that good...

    I used to write all kinds of things. Hard to categorize it... I enjoy writing, and I've heard from others that I'm quite good at it, so... I guess you can call this a kind of creative activity.

    I can draw.. and paint, but that's as far as my creativity goes, really.


    I'm much too lazy to post anything, but I have posted drawings in the graphics section.


    PS- guess what I'm back OMG!

    I guess my creativity comes down to writing. It's not really something I enjoy, but I can come up with some good stuff if I just sit down and start writing. I'm limited when it comes to drawing, I can draw simple things really good, but as far as any complicated shit goes, I don't bother.

    As for any creativity with craft goes, let's just say that if you give me a piece of wood and expect me to make something with it, I'll probably end up throwing it at someone instead.

    There's many things I can do, but there's nothing I'm really good at. I can be very proficient with languages when I feel like it(I guess this would be writing), can play guitar but by no means come up with anything worthwhile as of yet.

    I can make very solid paper ninja stars.

    I used to be able to draw nicely but I haven't done it in a long time, I've lost interest and therefore suck.

    the only talents I have are writing and drawing, I'm utterly useless for anything else, creative or otherwise

    I'm perfectly aware that I make people sick.

    As far as creativity goes I think I'm pretty zapped. Am not a very creative person myself.. : ( . I am planning to start using the creative side of my rusty brain a bit more soon by learning Art and Music, when that is going to happen, no one can say..

    Your writing can do some very nice things to me And you're fantastic with music, not getting time is a different thing.

    I think I'm more a of a creative producer. You can simply be an ardent fan of poetry or a painting and still be creative in your production of what you feel for a particular thing, and that could account for creativity, but I won't get into the jargon of that.
    I think I'm creative with words and I see my dance as a creative vent for me. Also I love to paint this tribal form of art called Madhubani which is done in vegetable dyes and on hand made paper traditionally. I also have a passion for caligraphy, but never had the time to work on it. Maybe some day. Music, ah. Can't say I'm creative, but I think its a skill, even if its in its nascent stages.
