Drawing Idea Generator

A drawing so realistic that it looks like a photograph. . . that's photorealism. To accomplish it, you must study a portrait or image intensely to capture all of its minutest details in your drawing. You are up to the challenge!

For this exercise, choose any paper with markings. Put dots on any set of marks, words, or letters. Then, connect the dots! The lines don't have to be straight. . . Zigzag or spiral to make a cool pattern.

Feeling like you always have to draw something specific can stifle your creativity. Start a doodle or a pattern or try to capture the essence of an object without a linear shape. You may be surprised with what you come up with!

You have an eye for seeing both the intricate details and the whole view of things. We suggest that you draw a map. You could draw your local town, invent an imaginary city in the future, or even map the viens of the human body. You are only limited by your imagination.

Drawing something meaningful, such as a symbol of your culture, will connect you to your work and help you show appreciation for your background. It doesn't have to be a physical object, it may also be a person, an idea, a song, or even something from a fairy tale.

Have you ever thought about recreating a famous painting with colored pencil or charcoal? You can use your creative licence to mix things up too. . . like drawing the Mona Lisa in vibrant colors or doing a cartoon style American Gothic!
