Steps

  1. 1
    Take a bike ride or a walk around your neighborhood. Look for any unusual things, or just interesting happenings outdoors. You might focus on nature, the built environment, vehicles or people. There are many different choices when you're riding about or walking.
  2. 2
    Sketch an animal. Sometimes an animal can be hard to capture realistically, but then you can use your imagination to add the rest. Try black and white and shading or go for real or wild colors.
  3. 3
    Think about your favorite movie, book, TV show, etc. Draw your favorite character. For example, draw Harry Potter and the Shire.
  4. 4
    Draw something from a video game. Choose your favorite video games, such as Legend of Zelda, Mario, etc. and other characters, landscapes, castles, dragons, and the like from the game.
  5. 5
    Get inspiration from famous artists. Go online and do an image search for famous paintings. For example, look at some classical painting and try to recreate them or update them with your own flair.
  6. 6
    Try pixel art. Get a sheet of graph paper. Draw your favorite, classic game character on it.
  7. 7
    Draw a scene or landscape from a poem or story. Find a poem or story that describes a landscape that comes alive in your imagination and would look great sketched or painted.
  8. 8
    Go abstract. Find a piece of paper, scribble a random design, and see what you can make from it.

Tips

  • Gather supplies for art projects. Garage sales and thrift stores should probably have some stuff at good prices.
  • Sometimes it helps to just start drawing, even if you don't fully feel like it. Once you start it's easier to keep going.
