Sometimes it’s tough to figure out what to draw, so this list of ideas to help spark your creativity! You can use these ideas whenever you’re stuck on what to draw or go through them one by one to practice drawing things, that you don’t usually focus on.

Drawing Ideas for Beginners.

Animal Drawings.

I draw a lot of dogs, and cats, and pandas, as they are easy and cute. Pandas in particular are really easy to draw, as they are simple, and mostly, black and white. I love them!

Choose an animal from these drawing ideas, and place it in a cool surrounding or playing with a toy or a butterfly, for example.

Try to draw these animals:

• Panda
• Cat
• Koala
• Horse
• Dog
• Fox
• Goldfish
• Hamster
• Butterfly
• Snail

Cute Animal Drawings.

What should I draw? Well, if you are already done drawing the animals above, then here are some more cute animal drawings. Personally, I really enjoy drawing animal faces, because I can give them a personality and expression.

For example, I like varying the expressions, they don’t all have to be cute animal drawings. Try drawing a very angry rabbit or a very friendly lion.

Plant Drawings.

I draw a lot of plants, trees and flowers because they’re easy to draw, they look great, and they are really fun to experiment with.

Try to draw these plants:

• Pine Trees
• Ferns
• Sunflowers
• Roses
• Palm trees
• Cactus
• Different types of leaves, like Oak leaves, Maple leaves, and Chestnut leaves.

People.

I think drawing people is pretty hard, because you need to get the dimensions right, arms, legs, heads and eyes. And it is not as easy as you think. But I realized that if I focus on people drawings that have another dominant item in it, then it is easier. I like drawing people with umbrellas, for example.

Try to draw these:

• A person wearing a giant hat
• A person with a pet, like a cat or a dog
• A person eating a cake.
• A person with an umbrella in the rain.
• A person with a big bird sitting on his or hers head.
• A woman with a small head and really big glasses.
• A man kicking a football.

Food.

I love food and I love drawing it! You can combine these food drawings with a man or woman eating them. But I always start with the food drawing itself.

Try to draw these:

• A Cup of Tea
• a Birthday Cake
• Ice Cream
• Bananas
• Spaghetti
• a Hamburger

Landscapes.

I love drawing landscapes, particularly woods and oceans. Sometimes, I will add an animal, like a whale in the sea or a bear in the woods. Choose a lansdcape first, then this will spark a bunch of ideas for characters or animals to add in the drawing.

Try to draw these:

• Forest
• Desert
• Ocean
• Mountains.
• Rolling Hills.
• Outer Space
• Road and Horizon
• Beach
• Jungle

I have always enjoyed drawing mountain landscapes. It is very relaxing for me. Here is another mountain drawing idea, with a little house and a tree in the foreground. It works really well for perspective drawing. Notice the rock in the corner that adds to the perspective.
