With age, it becomes more difficult to find ideas ... We are distracted by everyday affairs, we stop hearing ourselves, our inner world. It is especially difficult at the beginning, when you are just getting on the path of knowing yourself as an artist.
To draw well, you need to draw daily. But where to get this inspiration?

What to draw? 11 ideas for daily drawing.

1. Go through the archives of your drawings and sketches.

The simplest thing is to open the folder with your old drawings and look at them.

What's not finished in them? Where did the hitch occur?

Take a fresh look at the drawing. Think how to modify or rewrite it.

In addition, immersion in past drawings will immerse you in the emotions that you experienced earlier. It can re-inspire your creative muse. Maybe on the basis of an old idea a new one will arise… And then another picture will be born.

2. Draw something from life.

Take a look around the house: walls, furniture, interior items, potted plants, souvenirs brought from trips, keeping your memories. What was the eye catching on?

Draw one object. You can add other objects to it, draw the background.
As a result, your drawing can turn out to be very atmospheric, keeping the warmth of the house, your thoughts and memories.

So depict your day, your mood, fix it in color.

How to decorate a cake with a patterned fondant?

To do this, you can use the image of any hero whom you just learned to draw or portray another character, for example, an owl.


To collect such a cake, take:
  • biscuit cakes;
  • butter, custard, or whipped cream;
  • white cake paste;
  • food colors in three colors;
  • black currant or raisins;
  • water;
  • silicone rolling pin;
If you want the cake to be the same tricolor, then dilute each color in water, in a separate container. Saturate a specific crust with syrup of your color.

You can make your own food coloring using blackcurrant, spinach, and beetroot juice.



The same dyes will be needed to give the desired shade to the mastic. But first, you need to assemble the cake. Layering the cakes with cream, lay one on top of the other. Place the cake in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out the white mastic, cover the cake with a sheet of this sweet flexible material.

The mastic will stick to it better if you grease the cake with butter cream first.

Cut off excess mastic, add more. It needs to be divided into 3 parts, in each add a little food coloring. Roll the mastic into a layer. Attach a template for an owl or any other character to it, cut out according to this pattern.

Dip a culinary brush in water, moisten some of the mastic on the cake, attach an owl blank here. Glue them all in the same way.


Roll up round eyes from the remains of the white mastic. Place a blackcurrant or one raisin in the center of each to make the pupils. But first soak the raisins in warm water for 20 minutes to soften.


It is not necessary to make eyes on all the blanks, perhaps some owls have their backs turned to the viewer.


Usually, the cake with mastic should be left in a cool place for a day to dry, after which it can be served.

Here are some simple drawings to help decorate the cake. If you want to be the designer of your home, don't forget about accessories. And you don't have to buy expensive paintings. You can make them yourself, a master class will help with this. Such canvases are very simple to create, but they look impressive.

Diy stone paintings for beginners


To create such a handmade masterpiece, use:
  • smooth pebbles;
  • shell "king";
  • artificial moss;
  • transparent titanium glue;
  • thin branches of a tree;
  • plywood;
  • colored paper;
  • paints.
The base should be dense, use plywood, hardboard or similar materials for it. Cover the surface with 2–3 coats of white acrylic paint. When they are all dry, proceed to create a picture of stones.

If this is your first time doing this, then it is better to first outline the locations of the elements with a simple pencil.

Mark where the lovers will be. Glue 3 almost identical flat pebbles to create a guy, and his head with light pebbles.

For the body, head and legs of the girl, use one pebble at a time, make a skirt out of a shell "king", having previously broken off the "antennae" with pliers.

Such a picture is perfect for those who are vacationing at the sea or have brought some seashells and smooth pebbles from there from vacation. Such a panel will be a great reminder of a vacation on the seaside.


And you can take twigs from a tree growing in the yard, but it is better to use dry ones. Treat them with pliers, removing excess.

Attach a relatively flat trunk to the picture of stones with Titanium glue. In the same way, glue the small twigs that will become the branches of the tree. Cut the leaves for him from green paper, and the birds from another colored one.

Draw the elements of the tree, plants with paints. Glue the moss as grass, then you can frame the work and start a new one.


This simple picture is also created quickly. It will require:
  • plywood or thick cardboard;
  • frame;
  • threads;
  • flat stones;
  • glue.
The girl's body is one larger, and the head is a smaller stone. Make her arms, legs, fingers, hairstyle from threads by gluing them.

The girl holds the balloons by the strings, and they themselves are made of round pebbles.

If you are relaxing on the sea, walking along the beach, look for a heart-shaped stone, you will need it for the next romantic painting.


The oblong pebbles will become the arms and legs of the characters, the round ones will become their heads, and the oval ones will become the torso. Glue a fancy dry branch down the panel - it will become the path on which the lovers stand.

Put a sprig of dried flowers in the guy's hands or make them out of colored paper. Such a picture of stones will be another pleasant reminder of a wonderful summer vacation on the south coast, like the other.


For each cat, you will need a pair of pebbles of the same color, but different in size, to make the body and tail. If you cannot find an identical color scheme, simply paint the stones in the desired color. When the coating dries up, glue the blanks on a dense base, having previously painted it or gluing a sheet of light cardboard.

Draw the ears and grass for the cats. Glue the twigs that will become a tree and a couple of small pebbles that have turned into birds.

Why create art schools? No, not in order to make artists-painters out of all the pupils. The bottom line is to develop in the child the ability to depict on paper objects that he sees correctly, and if necessary, he could draw from life a curious view of the area, or any other object. The ability to draw develops in a person the ability to correctly evaluate the fine arts, which bring great pleasure. It also follows from this that teaching this type of art should be different from the usual way of teaching, based on copying from ready-made drawings or originals alone. It is necessary to develop an eye, to master the properties of various lines and their mutual compatibility, to distinguish forms that are depicted by hand, without using a ruler and compasses.

What can you draw with a pencil?

  2. Drawing straight line images
  3. Curvilinear shapes, perspective rules
  4. About light and shadows
  5. About correct bodies
  6. Depiction of complex bodies from nature
