Sometimes you feel like drawing, but you just don’t know what to draw.
And staring at a blank page really don’t help much either
So in this video, I’ll share some of my favorite things to draw when I’m bored.
Patterns & Zentangles
I normally like to start off by drawing some simple patterns, because drawing patterns is a great way to get your creative juices flowing.
So you can play around with some lines, circles, basic shapes, etc. and see what kind of unique patterns you can come up with by yourself
I started by drawing several teardrop shapes and filling them up with some really simple patterns.
But you can really make the patterns as complex or as simple as you want.

And of course, you don’t have to stick to teardrops, either. I also drew some circles, squares, ovals, etc. and then filled them with different patterns as well
You just want to make sure that whatever shape you want to fill with a pattern is actually large enough. Because you want enough space for the pattern to repeat itself several times. So normally, the more complex the pattern, the bigger the shape should be.
Simple Landscapes
Next up are some super simple landscapes. These are also very easy and fun to draw, But they are a little more difficult to design from scratch by yourself. So I normally like to look for some nice designs online and then replicate them.
The best place to get started is with some mountain landscapes, because they are super easy to draw. Basically, if you can draw triangles, you can draw these landscapes as well.
So as you can see, the first four drawings all feature mountains.

And it’s also very easy to add new elements to the mountain landscapes. So for example, for the second drawing I combined the mountains with a sun, and for the third drawing added a tree in front of the mountains. So you can really add your own unique spin to this kind of landscape drawings.
Besides mountains, a lot of these simple landscape drawings also feature the sun. Especially sunset and sunrise.
So I also wanted to draw a few of those as well.

For the first two, I tried to draw a sunset or sunrise above the ocean. In the top half you can see the sun itself and in the bottom half you can see the reflection of the sun in the water.
And for the fourth one I decided to draw the sun rising up from behind the mountains in the morning.
And then I finished by drawing some super simple trees by just using straight lines.

Flowers & Plants
Flowers and plants are always super popular subjects to draw, so I started by drawing with a few floral branches.
Simply start by drawing the branch and then decorate it with leaves of various shapes and sizes.

You can look at some reference photos if you want to, but for these doodles I just came up with some random shapes that I liked on the fly. And I think they came out pretty nice.
I also drew a few potted plants and cacti. And with these drawings, it’s always fun to not only draw different kinds of plants, but also be creative with the flower pots themselves. So try to match the design of the flower pot with the plant itself.

Cute Animals
Animals can be super intimidating to draw for most people, because it’s so difficult to draw a realistic looking animal. So I just wanted to share a few quick and easy animal doodles that basically anyone can draw.

As with any doodle, it’s really important to keep things as simple as possible. So don’t worry about the fur or scales or feathers. Just try to draw the most important parts that clearly identify the animal you want to draw.
So for the snail it’s the shell, for the jellyfish it’s the tentacles, for the hedgehog it’s the spines, etc.
Continuous Line Drawings
I only recently started practicing these one line drawings and continuous line drawing, and I have to say, I really like drawing them.
You basically want to capture the essence of an object with a single line that’s as short as possible.
Which sounds super easy, but once you try it, you’ll quickly realize that it can sometimes be extremely difficult to draw something with just a single line.

But that being said, I don’t think you need to be an amazing artist to draw these. You just need to try a lot of times.
In this video I’m just showing the successful drawings of course. But each of these drawings took me several times before I got something that I was happy with.
You’ll need to go through the trial and error process several times to find a design that really works. And then you need to practice that design several times, so you can draw it with confidence and you don’t need to stop halfway through or have very shaky lines.
If you are interested in these types of drawings, you should check out my continuous line rose drawing tutorial as well.
Food
If you don’t know what to draw, you can always draw some food related items as well. So you can either draw what you had for breakfast or lunch, or you can draw your favorite foods.

I ate bread and some fruit for lunch, so I started by drawing different types of bread, fruit and vegetables. So you can see a loaf of bread, a baguette, a croissant, a pear, strawberry etc.

You can really draw whatever you want. But in general, it’s easier to draw the individual ingredients than the final dish.

So instead of drawing a board of spaghetti, you could draw the tomatoes and onions that go into the pasta sauce instead.
Insights, advice, suggestions, feedback and comments from experts
As an art enthusiast and someone who enjoys drawing, I can provide you with information related to the concepts mentioned in this article. Let's dive into each concept:
Patterns & Zentangles
Drawing patterns is a great way to get your creative juices flowing. You can start by playing around with lines, circles, basic shapes, and see what kind of unique patterns you can come up with. The patterns can be as complex or as simple as you want. You can fill different shapes like teardrops, circles, squares, ovals, etc. with these patterns. Just make sure that the shape you want to fill with a pattern is large enough to allow the pattern to repeat itself several times.
Simple Landscapes
Drawing simple landscapes can be both easy and fun. Mountain landscapes are a great place to start because they are super easy to draw. If you can draw triangles, you can draw these landscapes as well. You can add new elements to the mountain landscapes to make them more interesting, such as a sun or a tree. You can also explore drawing sunsets or sunrises above the ocean or behind the mountains. Feel free to add your own unique spin to these landscape drawings.
Flowers & Plants
Flowers and plants are popular subjects to draw. You can start by drawing floral branches. Begin by drawing the branch and then decorate it with leaves of various shapes and sizes. You can look at reference photos for inspiration or come up with your own random shapes. Additionally, you can draw potted plants and be creative with the design of the flower pots to match the plants. The possibilities are endless when it comes to drawing flowers and plants.
Cute Animals
Drawing animals can be intimidating for many people, but there are quick and easy animal doodles that anyone can draw. The key is to keep things simple and focus on drawing the most important parts that clearly identify the animal. For example, you can draw the shell for a snail, the tentacles for a jellyfish, or the spines for a hedgehog. Don't worry about adding intricate details like fur or feathers. Simplify the drawing to capture the essence of the animal .
Continuous Line Drawings
Continuous line drawings involve capturing the essence of an object with a single line that's as short as possible. It may sound easy, but it can be challenging to draw something with just one continuous line. However, with practice and multiple attempts, you can improve your skills. Start by finding a design that works for you and practice drawing it several times. Continuous line drawings can be a unique and interesting way to express your creativity.
Food
If you're unsure of what to draw, you can always draw food-related items. You can draw what you had for breakfast or lunch, or even your favorite foods. It's generally easier to draw the individual ingredients rather than the final dish. For example, instead of drawing a plate of spaghetti, you can draw the tomatoes and onions that go into the pasta sauce. Feel free to get creative and draw whatever food items you enjoy.
I hope these ideas inspire you to create beautiful drawings. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and let your creativity flow. Happy drawing!
