Yep, been talking about it here and there and figure it's easier to dedicate a separate thread to it rather than hijacking one in which everyone should be sharing their work!

However, this is where you lovely people come in: I would like suggestions on the themes/subjects I draw each day. So in part, please leave suggestions on what you would like to see me draw. Don't ask me to draw portraits of you (or others), this isn't that kind of thread, sorry. Mostly, you all seem like a creative lot and I like getting out of my head to see what other things can be illustrated.

It helps keep me focused and it's hard to eat and draw at the same time, so it serves a secondary purpose, lol.

Things I will accept as suggestions:
  • Animals/insects/plants/mythological creatures/supernatural stuff
  • Actions (fly, leap, jump, etc.)
  • Abstract concepts or themes (beauty, horror, nirvana, etc.)
  • Anime/cartoon characters
  • Songs
  • Probably some other things that escape me at the moment

Pictures as examples:

Theme: Shattered

    so that first one is a portrait of me right?

    Pets are acceptable as a workaround to the "no portraits" thing. I don't mind drawing people, but I don't want this to turn into a "draw me" thread. :)

    Ohh, I can't draw but occasionally I'll draw little doodles of oddball character type faces. It's pretty sad how silly they are, but it's kinda fun to do. :smiley:

    If you want to do a horse pick one:

    Maggie

    How about floating & weightlessness as a theme ?

    Excellent suggestions. :)

    No such thing as sad art (unless it's literally art depicting people/things being sad. It's good that you doodle. :)

    Excellent suggestions so far. I'll pick one to doodle for tomorrow and use that as my starting point. :)

    @CanesGalactica I love your work so much! You probably know this

    suggestions:

    - something "subliminal" or hidden...like a picture within a picture. (I used to always do abstract paintings with hidden things in them because I was so shy I'd want to distract from my drawings)
    - hands (I've heard they are hard)
    - eyeballs are fun
    - horror? How about auto-cannibalism?
    - please do a tarantula for me!

    Escaping chains of decent formality into drifting, flying abrupt motion.
