Drawing Ideas

You should draw living creatures - be they animals, people, aliens, whatever - in bright colors with broad strokes and lots of action. Let go of detail and just let the action play itself out and be the point. Make it a quick drawing to get the creative juices flowing.

Think of a place - fictional or real - that you think is peaceful. Maybe it's a waterfall or a beach or a starry sky. Draw that in cool tones with a soft touch. Maybe there are people in it and maybe not. Just make it soft and peaceful.

You should draw a setting in nature. Not necessarily a landscape. You could have something going on in the drawing. Maybe a bear catching a fish or a butterfly landing on a flower or a pioneer building a cabin or even a panda eating bamboo. Whatever it is, it should have natural elements.

Draw something that is not even remotely of the everyday world. Draw something with a lot of magic and mystery to it. You could go with something supernatural and mysterious or something happily otherworldly like a mermaid riding a sea unicorn.

You should draw something that makes you feel like you are in a world of comfort. Or at least something that makes you feel with your heart. It could possibly be something to do with animals or history or people bonding on a deep level.

Draw a scene where people are or were enjoying something lavish. Put yourself in a world where people have money to spend on opulence and beauty. Maybe the parlor of a robber baron in the 1800s or a Wall Street bar in the present.
