Draw some asymmetrical clothing
Pick up a book and open it to a random page. Read the last full sentence on that page. Use that sentence as inspiration for creating a character.
I'm currently doing an online art school program and I thought I'd share some notes on clothing pieces for anyone else whose like me and for some reason can't understand objects with free from lol I hope you find some of these observations/ notes useful for any of your art journeys!
if you, like me, constantly get caught by surprise by time, and want a chill prompt list without feeling that you're already late and need to catch up, I made one
Pick a schedule (weekly, every other day, daily) and use the prompts on that row, or just be “Today I want to doodle” and pick any combination of adjacent prompts

It is not the prettiest but here is a little chart I made of skin tones.
The idea is to eye-drop anywhere on the chart to get a unique skin tone instead of getting stuck in the loop of “white, tan, dark”.
Edit in 2021! Due to some (very valid) critique, I just wanted to slap a little edit on this to let people know I’m keeping it up and pinned to avoid being asked where it is on the daily, but very much encourage people to check out other skin tone references. I’m keeping it pinned so it’s easy to find! I appreciate so much the positive feedback this thing has gotten, but more than that, I appreciate the conversations it has sparked and the negative feedback that has come with it, inspiring more people to diversify their art! For better references please check out this really amazing twitter post!
