I don't know why but I feel more creatively inspired the fewer tools and fewer options I have available. Let me elaborate.

If you look back at an older journal you know that I've gotten very wrapped up in a game called Draw Something. The concept is simple, pick a word, draw what it means or what it stands for *or something abscure but still correct* and someone else guesses. The problem with the game for some though is that you start with a small selection of colors and have to purchase the rest through in game currency. I've found that this kind of barriers actually helps push me to be more inventive in what I draw. Besides the color issue there is also no layers, no different tools besides a pencil and eraser, essentially no undo beyond one stroke, and a very limited canvas area. However this seems to make things less intimidating. Yeah its frustrating not having a certain color you want/need for a drawing, just means you have to find another way to get your idea across, and as such exercise your ability to think up solutions without being given so many solutions that you don't know what to do.

Now recently I upgraded to the sequel of the game, draw something 2. More tools more words and more options, but it still has the same stepping stone method to playing. You start with simple tools and have to buy or unlock more advanced ones as you play. And it still pushes you to think in different ways.

That out of the way now, my question is this. Anyone wanna join it and add me to the list? I promise anyone that want to learn how to draw can get a good start with this game. Just look for Evil Pinki. ^^
