I found drawing memes helps a lot for me, especially if they’re simple and animated. It’s where I get a lot of my colored pencil practice.

@The-N-U-T-Cracker

Whenever I get extremely specific drawing ideas late at night, I open a notebook, my phone, whatever’s closest to me and draw an extremely simplified stick figure doodle of said idea
Then when the dreaded block hits, I have some ideas to go through

@Celestial-Burst

I usually scroll through pinterest and look at art or just aesthetic photos and stuff. It usually gives me inspo. Or if i really have to draw something, i just push through it. Draw the most basic and un-creative thing ever, but it does help lol.

@Katastrophic group

since i just discovered this, drawing fish. It sounds kinda dumb, but fish are essentially just blobby shapes which can be good for figuring out fun silhouettes and perspective, and the floaty fins are good for sketching and practicing folds and "swishy" for lack of better term. Also fish have very limited features, so expressions are very simplified. They're fast and easy to draw, and act as a good warm up and practice when stumped. Sometimes it helps just to get something on the page, and if it comes with practice then all the better!

I filled maybe a page while listening to music ^ before coming up with a 'real' composition to draw

@moss

As someone who mostly draws in a stylized way, I tend to go back to realism whenever im in a block. Like I'll just do studies of eyes or noses or draw a couple faces cuz I can just use a reference for them and with stylized work its harder to rely on a reference because its not in my style. Idk it helps me.
