WANTED: Art Ideas!
I only put this question under “General Support” so a wider audience will see it :)
So, I have three goals: Get back into my art, make Christmas cards for people, and give myself an alternate option instead of overeating.
Can you help me?
I need inspo…
So I draw EVERYTHING on my Christmas cards. I don’t need Christmas/winter-themed stuff… That stuff is a dime a dozen, so easy to find.
I want THINGS to draw. Random things. Especially things that would suit guys, because I have a lot of female-oriented cards made already.
Think: Windmills, dinosaurs, rats, pinecones, Toothless, Donkey Kong, cottagecore, whatever :) Like, random nouns. Things that will be easy enough to Google.
Nothing too complicated please… Hippos with long hair fighting ninjas wearing tutus? Impossible to find on Google lol
Some of my recent drawings, for inspo:
A parasaurolophus (duck billed dinosaur; think Ducky from The Land Before Time)
Science puns
A lightbulb
Watermelon
Terrarium jar art
A video game controller
Stitch from Lilo and Stitch
****ALSO*****
You can give me SUPER random words, and make me do word association with it! Like you could say “fly”, and I could draw a bat, “run”, and I could draw a baseball, or “coffee”, and I could draw the front facade of a coffee shop :)
Please give me whatever you think of! I can work with it in some way :)
Tysm! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 If its for guys we like: cars, sports, military, some like beer, and we like girls lol not sure how to use all that but its just some ideas
It doesn’t have to be specifically masculine. Just not feminine. Like, no hearts or flowers. Nothing that would make a guy think “flirty” lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Hmmm I'll have to rethink this
@genericbeing
So basically a girl in a car, holding a beer and a football while wearing a santy hat 😂
…..no. Lolllll
My last drawings were a velociraptor, Toothless, vines, and a betta. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Distinctly different 😂
Exactly. Lol! I do random but GORGEOUS <3
@Amanda84 My eyes just crossed, now, how do I uncross them??
@Amanda84 That means you got it spot on lol
@genericbeing

Loved your ideas, they are so creative! My favourites were the knife made from feathers, mini skydivers, and the tree of life.

@BastionKnight
I had a great chuckle trying to read these 😂
@Amanda84
*Smiles* Now if only there was an animal park where we could all go see them.
@BastionKnight
I've had my fill of being chased by 🐒 and 🐨
@Amanda84
Ah but could you be tempted if instead of the usual chasers you were instead being followed by a Coca-Koala?
@BastionKnight
Why on earth were you chased by koalas????
Animated food or objects.....
Like a happy pie with little arms and legs
Snowflakes with eyes looking up at the cloud they're falling from and the cloud looking down, waving to eachother
@jesusredeemedme2425
Keyword "steampunk" in Youtube. There are lots of ideas there.
@jesusredeemedme2425 my random word is bull, and my idea is to draw Link from Legends of Zelda, the 80's version
Something Christmas-y for boys... hmm.... not an art person here and incredibly impressed with your talent... but let me think ..... im thinking of Christmas sleigh?.... horse?... a musical instrument like a guitar?...... gingerbread man. Sorry if I couldnt be of much help 😕
@jesusredeemedme2425
Thank you! <3
It doesn’t have to be Christmas-y. My last one was a velociraptor. Hehe
