When you are drawing, how do you decide what to draw? Do you write out a list of everything you want the picture to include? Do you start to form it in your mind? Or do you just sit own and start drawing whatever pops into your head first?
All of these can be fun, but when drawing, it's good to find inspiration from places others might not expect, and find ways to incorporate them into your drawing. As an artist, you may not even realize it, but everything you look at will somehow find its way onto your drawing pad one way or another.
When looking for inspiration on purpose however, it can get a little tricky, especially if you sat down to draw with no plan in mind. Next time you find yourself stuck, try taking a look around. If you are outside, try drawing a mountain scene with deer and squirrels, or perhaps take a look at your pet [if you have one] and draw what you suppose they might look like as a human, or a different animal. Or perhaps try to draw an anthro version of the first animal you find. For example, if it's a bee you find, draw a humanoid with bee wings, and antennae!
If you are indoors, look around at the people with you. What would the person to your left look like as a dog? a cat? a dragon? Or you can look around at the furniture. Maybe your lamp has flowers curling up the stand, or maybe your desk has legs shaped like a dragon's talon! Use what you see as inspiration for your designs, and before long, you'll have a beautiful image.
What sort of things do you use for inspiration when drawing? Do you have a picture handy you could show?
