Drawing or doodle ideas, just for fun?

In order to jump-start your creativity, here's my answer to a v recent Q [I'm providing the link so that I have space for the rest of my answer] : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Av_3a...

I'm listing categories & when you choose individual items from these categories, your list will become Huge ;-))) Moreover, you can choose from various categories to make your drawing tell a "story".

And you can change the same drawing by using different media or by changing perspective, distance, lighting, angle, genre, etc.

- the sky [ day & night sky] -- sun, moon, clouds, stars, ......

- the elements - rain, fire, water, land, ....

- beaches - sand, oceans, surfers, shells, driftwood, tides, ...

- aquatic life - algae, whales, sharks, octopus, coral reefs, deep-sea divers, ....

- islands, boats, ships, nets, trawlers, anglers, ....

- still-life -- any & all objects at home, using different light sources & perspectives, shadows & reflections

- yourself, friends & family - portraits, caricatures, ....

- nature from your window -- trees, neighborhood, lawns, birds, ....

- animals, including pets

- birds

- plants, trees, flowers, bees & butterflies.....

- humans performing various activities – series of dancers eg.

- transport systems - bus, car, train, plane, spaceship, UFO, ....

- architectural marvels, buildings, sheds, ....

- dreams & fantasies

- mythical & mythological forms/creatures

- mountains, rivers, landscapes, .....

- anatomy

- any congregation of people/animals like circus, zoo, fair grounds, etc.

the list can go on & on ;-)

you can change the same sketch by

- drawing close-ups, or 'long-shots'

- drawing realistically, in cartoon form or as fantasy forms

- changing the light source, direction & intensity, including night-time

- drawing only outlines or including shading & shadows [2-D v/s 3-D effect]

- using different types of pencils, charcoal, ..... &/or colors - water, oil, acrylic, crayons, pencils, glitter, glass paints, mosaic-work,....

- changing the perspective & angle

- using surrealism, cubism, abstract forms... ....

may be you can go wild ;-)) use diff techniques & media - including pastels, crayons, oils, cut-n-paste, mosaic, cartoon-drawing, symbolism, etc....

- check out old greeting cards, magazines, net images, comic books, etc. to get some ideas. use these ideas to create your own drawing.

- you could make a 'series' of any one thing. different ways of going about it :

eg. flowers - have 15 different types of flowers in the 15 drawings;

or, have the same flower [eg. rose] but depicted in different ways - eg. in close-up, in a garden, with a bee humming over it, as a bouquet, in a dried-petal arrangement [glued] along with dried leaves/herbs, & so on;

or, each life-stage of a flower;

or you could change the light source, light intensity, colors [from black n white to monochrome to multicolored]
