If you are like me and don’t really like to draw, then it can be challenging to come up with ideas for drawing subjects.
A few classic subjects:
- self portraits
- fruit and veggies
- flowers
I think the important thing is that you are interested in the subject matter. That will make it easier to stay committed to the drawing. Most recently I have been distilling my marks down to basic shapes.
I think it helps to give your self permission to draw the same thing over and over again.
A couple of more topics:
- Studio tools
- Jars, cups and vessels
- Buildings
- Birds
So if drawing feels like work to you, don’t give up. Just keep trying new approaches:
- new subject matter
- use small pages or notebooks
- try meditative marks
