Ok, suggestions needed.
Edited on Mon Dec-10-07 02:16 PM by BarenakedLady
I have to hand in my sketch book tomorrow night. I need to have at least 50 pages done. I've got 42. I'm running out of ideas.

Come on people, tell me what to draw/sketch, the simpler the better. I'm also nursing a sick feverish child.

14. Oh that is so WRONG...
It should be "take nude photos, draw self nudes, scan BOTH and send them for comparison."






Never thought I'd be giving pev lessons to flvegan...

19. I was trying the old Jedi Mind Trick on her.
She's turned me down for pics quite often. Figured I could take this play in motion and run it in.

Alas...:cry:

9. Yes, sketch the sick child.
The child needs the company and you have a subject that you care about.

10. Kitties at play, or at rest
Kid's toys in unusual places
A kid in bed sick, but still looking impossibly cute
A mythical beast sitting next to the bed reading a story
A mundane scene from someplace inside your home with something deliberately and oddly out of place, like a lawn mower in the corner of the dining room or something equally odd.
:)

12. Road signs?
Particularly symbolic ones. In Britain we have a lot of graphical road signs:

(That's from the UK Highway Code online).

27. Hmmm...
Now I'm no visual artist...but awhile back my buddy and I used to sketch as a way to break up tour monotony. One night I decided to draw my own left hand. But I draw left-handed, so I laid my right hand on the table and tried mirroring it when I drew it...right-posing-as-left. It was a fun exercise at the time. :shrug:

Regardless, I know you'll find the inspiration---and the time---to complete your book. And remember: it's always a pleasure to see your work here, too!

:hug:

38. A snowy landscape.
Not much shading required. :)

41. You're giving me end-of-semester-cramming nightmares... I'm way too old for that now...
I once packed an entire semester of Plato into 16 hours of reading from noon to 4 a.m. Slept to hours and took off for exam. Got a D, which was passing!

42. Have you sketched your children?
Or perhaps you could sketch your garden... or the snow that (I'm assuming) is outside...

or something from World of Warcraft? ;)

Good luck!
