Creativity in the AI Era

THE question in 2025: are creative skills - designing, drawing, brainstorming, writing - losing relevance with each passing day?

Today, I want us to dive into the neurological side of these skills, backed by professional, non-negotiable examples.
But proof for which side… relevant or irrelevant?

What if I told you that drawing is like lifting weights… for your brain?
That it can turn stress into flow?
That it has something AI can NEVER steal - your perspective, your life story, your attention to detail, and your ability to connect with clients through human experience?

I mean… can you imagine sitting with a robot to design your apartment, sharing all your not-really-logical wishes, certain aesthetics you love, even your personal story?
Yeah… we’re not talking about ChatGPT as our therapist here, okay? :D

Here’s the mood I want you to tattoo on your brain before our upcoming workshop:

Drawing isn’t just pictures.

It’s mental training, time travel, therapy, and autobiography all in one.
It’s a tool to share your story with the world, down to those tiny details that make you… YOU.

And yes - drawing ACTUALLY improves your health.

When you draw, your eyes and hands have to dance together perfectly.

It’s one of the most direct, turbo-charged ways to grow creativity and develop ideas because it forces your brain to think in pictures and concepts at the same time.

The more you create, the more ideas you have… and the more unusual and exciting they get.

Strong fine motor skills make everything easier: typing faster, playing an instrument, doing surgery, even buttering toast without shredding it (art is a daily language, remember? :D).

Neuroscientists have found that practicing complex hand movements like drawing keeps brain pathways sharp for decades, reducing the risk of cognitive decline.

Stop using those skills, and they fade, like a language you forget to speak.

Keep drawing, and you’re basically telling your brain:
“Stay sharp. Stay nimble. We’ve got more masterpieces to make.”

So… would you want AI to find a way to install its tools inside your body to do all this for you?
I bet you don’t. So… DRAW! :D

If we combine creativity, motor skills, memory, stress relief, and observation training into one message, drawing suddenly stops being “a nice hobby” and starts looking like a core survival skill in the AI age.
 

Have I convinced you yet?

Because in the next newsletter, I’ll show you the professional uses of drawing, and why, even in 2025, high-end clients still prefer that unique hand-drawn touch.

(And yes, I’ve also found a way to merge drawing with AI, and it works SO well! Curious? You’ll see soon.)

And of course… we’re seeing each other in the webinar!

With big drawing energy,
