For some motivation and inspiration here are some ideas to keep you drawing:
1. Find the quietest place you can and draw there. See if your drawing can capture a sense of quiet.
2. Find a noisy or populated place and draw there. Can you drawing capture the chaos?
3. Draw something growing from a crack in the pavement, patio stone, or sidewalk.
4. Draw an animal. Do you have a pet? A bird feeder? Know someone with a fish? Complete 6 quick gesture drawings while you observe a majestic creature.
5. Draw your feet in the grass, sand, or mud.
6. Find a good shadow from a tree, car, person etc. and draw it.
7. Draw something with your non-dominant hand - your sink full of dishes, your mailbox, your shoe etc.
8. Draw the view from across the street from your house or work.
9. Find a work of art somewhere in town and sketch it. You could choose something from the art gallery, library, or find a mural, graffiti, or hand painted sign.
10. Find a sad looking tree and try to capture its posture. What makes it sad?
