What should you draw in your sketchbook?

Answer 1

Let's see...chairs, shoes, kitchen tools, shells, trees, flowers, house plants... anything with texture and interesting shapes is always good for a sketch.

Another good idea is a racoon. they are easy to make and look very pretty.

Answer 2

There are no rules for what to put in a sketchbook. Some things to begin with are actual objects, figures or nature, things you can observe. This will train your eye and your hand. Sketchbooks are also great to sketch out an idea that comes to mind, and any variations or notes for future reference.

Answer 3

Haha, well, there's alot of things to do when you're bored. When ever I feel bored, I draw. And when I draw, I just draw whatever I feel like drawing. Just let your IMAGINATION run! Be random with your drawings; they're yours anyway. Here's what I sometimes draw:

Try drawing things upside-down!

3D shapes

all kinds of happy faces XD :-) \(^-^)/ :P 8-O

people that I don't like

people that I do like

stars (not celebrity stars, but, you know, the shapes)

animals and made-up creatures (head of a lion, body of a snake)

whatever is on my right

food that I hate eating

spirals and tornados and lightning bolts and rain clouds

eyes (manga eyes, especialy)

my most prized possession

Answer 4

The very best thing for beginners to draw, is everything. I know that sounds kind of difficult, but the truth is the more you put what you see onto paper, the more you are training your brain to do what is important:

See what is in front of you.

Annalise the shapes and composition.

Place the light source and therefore place the highlights and shadows.

Control your hand - to reproduce what you see.

And eventually to interpret what you see through your own developing style.

Much as it is tempting to draw from your imagination, until you understand how nature puts things together.

For example: living creatures need bones, muscles, skin, fur or fabric and then an environment to be in.

Landscapes need distance, middle ground, foreground, perspective, vanishing point, composition and hopefully a focus.

Answer 5

I get, that a lot, but I just want to try something different. I'm tired of my style. Is that normal?

Answer 6

Generally speaking, any subject that tests your skills and pushes your parameters makes for a good sketching subject. The ones that you smile will spur your interest.

Answer 7

Whatever interests you. Trees, mountains, people, a bowl of fruit, street, houses, a barn, birds, a favorite pet are some ideas.

Answer 8

i suggest anime characters.
