I finally embraced eating cereal with orange juice during my morning sketches.

I sketch every morning, and I switched from milk to orange juice in my cereal. It sounds odd, but the tangy taste wakes me up better than coffee. My roommate thinks it's disgusting and says I'm ruining cereal. Has anyone else tried a weird liquid with their cereal for creative energy?

Remember reading about artists using strange breakfast habits to fuel their work. Something about how a jolt to your senses can clear mental blocks. Your tangy cereal could be your own version of that.

Tried pickles and peanut butter once @clairee88, weirdly got ideas flowing.

@clairee88 brought up a jolt to the senses, but I've always heard it's more about shaking up your usual routine. When you swap milk for orange juice, it turns your morning sketch into something fresh that your brain has to engage with. I once used apple juice in my oatmeal for a week, and it made me focus better on my drawings. Your tangy cereal might be doing the same thing for your creative energy.
