A sketchbook is a great place to practice drawing and find inspiration. Here are some ideas for what to draw in a sketchbook:
-
Draw everyday objects: Simple objects like staplers, eggs, hammers, and purses can be great subjects for drawing.
-
Draw from life: Go somewhere new and draw what you see, or draw someone you sit by in an odd pose.
-
Draw collections: Draw a collection of purses, wallets, or bags, or draw five objects with interesting textures.
-
Draw things that interest you: Draw your favorite well-loved object or childhood toy, or draw something that sounds or smells incredible.
-
Draw from prompts: Use song lyrics, quotes, or poetry to inspire a drawing, or draw your greatest fear.
-
Draw cool things: Draw mountains, dragons, or realistic eyes.
-
Draw for a theme: Draw Halloween decorations, or draw something related to a specific theme.
-
Draw with a game: Make a game out of your sketching practice by thinking of drawing suggestions in terms of a scavenger hunt. Try to tackle all the ideas in a list of 101 drawing ideas.
-
Draw with quotes: Write down a quote that inspires you and create a drawing to go along with it.
These are just a few ideas to get started. The possibilities are endless, and the most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing.
