Draw a cat. Cats are the ultimate lifeform! And they're fun to draw. Or make a perspective sketch of some street or skyline. I like doing that.

A landscape perhaps? Go out to a quiet, natural place and draw it. Could be quite relaxing.

Ever try your hand at potraits? I think there isn't a gift quite as impressive as a hand drawn potrait of someone. If you get good enough you would always have a way to get on someones good side.

I remember when I was recruited to draw portraits at an elementary school for some event or other. *shudders* Ugg! I hated everthing I drew that day. But the kiddos loved it! Note: never draw someone you know well until you think you can get a really good resemblence. Some folk are funny about it and get kind of offended if it's not recognizable. Practice, my friend, and you shall soon be great!
Try doing plants. Not trees, but small things like shrubs(from a closeup perspective). Sketch first, then try watercolor pencil on top. I find that to be an interesting change of pace.
Hope you come up with something you like!

Whenever I dont know what to draw I grab some coal or balck chalk and let loose on some heavy paper. You can do so much with coal, its one of my favorite mediums.
I dont usually know what to draw, I just start with a line or two and then go from there. Some times I make a texture and let my imagination shape what it will become. Its cool how the same line could begin an old tree or someones cheek.
I find it hard when I confine my work to a specific image. If I were to make a fictional land scape, I wouldnt have a problem. But If I was going to make a specific landscape I would have to do it over and over again untill I thought it was close enough to the actual...
Sorry, I guess Im rambling here.
My advice is to just start drawing and see what comes of it.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

When I need inspiration I go out on the internet (google) and go accross artwork for games that I think are cool, and sometimes (when I want to draw my fighter jets) I look towards mythical animals for inspiration (once again google) It takes a long time to get them done but I have fun doing it! But most of the time inspiration can't be forced it must bubble up like some odd natural human resource... I generally fly from one mood to another, sometimes I like to draw, sometimes I like to write, sometimes I do scientific research... and most of the time I like to waste my life away in the great joy of my RP...

I have all kind of recources around me to keep me inspired. Like action figures, posters, or mags, and or How to Draw Books. Any thing that inspires you!

start making your own story/manga. When I actyually think about mine, i usually wind up drawing some sort of sketchy type thingy. Yeah... that's my advice: make your own comic/story or something. Make characters you like so you'll enjoy drawing them.
