I am looking for somebody who can give me ideas on things to draw and paint?

  • Hi Georgina,

    I would love you to try to draw one of my portraits on your choice.
    Please have a look to my portrait page and tell me what do you think :)

  • Dogs are always a good challenge! Or find your favourite artist and paint like them and then apply their techniques to your own references!
  • Hi Georgina,

    I found this site generator such a fun way to play around with random ideas as well as play with different styles of illustration, it generates a description and then say in a sketch way, or watercolour style etc.

    Hope this helps! :)
  • I would suggest a series of quick drawings or painting (if that's something you're open to) based on a random word generator : https://randomwordgenerator.com/

    I personally think it is interesting and challenging to come up with an idea that is a suprise/ out of your comfort zone so you don't have too many thoughts about it and are less likely to debate with yourself.
  • Hi Georgina,

    Try drawing moments of 'blank'. I did a project about a year ago when in the frist lockdown I started drawing momets of joy and it really helped me focus my work and discover the subjects I'm really interested in.

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Georgina,

    I feel you when it comes to needing ideas for drawing (I'm not a painter). Every now and then when I feel like I'm in a creative block I just try to draw from a Pinterest board which I keep pinning interesting artworks as references, either for treatment or ideas. Sometimes I worry about my ideas or process getting influenced by looking at too much, but I feel a lot of people just start thinking better once they're in the process of drawing. I'm pasting the link below here, hope it helps! :)
