I am completely out of ideas on what to draw:O Anything would be helpful really. Nothing related to Nudity though... (I have no idea how to draw naked people)

Censored dicks

Start by sketching a sphere, then branch out. A sphere can become a cranium, a shoulder, a gun barrel. To name a few.

If you have no idea how to draw naked people then maybe you should be doing that so you learn how?

You guys... Disappoint me.
Try sci—fi architecture. It's pretty much buildings of any shape with loads of high—tech stuff on them.

Then you are blind to the world.

Get off your computer and step out of your zone and you will find that everything is made of lines. A coffee cup. A table. Your PC. Things in your kitchen. Your living room. Your city. These are all things you can draw.

Start with what you don't know.

I found it hard to do things I had no intention of doing but had to for the sake of knowing and progress [like writing romance]. You need to let out. You need to learn things you don't know.

I guess that was a stupid statement to make...

Thanks for the heads up! Also what do you mean by Zone? By zone do you mean area of comfort or some other meaning...

By you guys who might you be speaking about? Also thanks for the idea!

Actually this is half-true or absolutely false.

If you want to learn how to draw then you need to learn consistency, and the only way to do that is to learn how to draw the mundane.

Drawing based on imagination is Advanced Mode. Trust me. Get your sketchpad out and draw like a bajillion cups or something and read up on theory and shit before you move on to better things.

You can also try getting a snapshot of something huge, then place a grid over it and then draw each box individually. You are trying to draw something based on its shape, not its form. The more you get used to the abstraction, the better you can get actually picturing whatever it is you've been drawing again and again in your head.

When you sketch, don't overlap lines. Draw a single line and if you get it wrong, then draw it again later on. You're trying to get your hand used to the shapes.

Finally, once your hand has gotten used to the lines, see if you really have learned the shape and not the form by drawing the same image upside-down. Use the grid technique if you want to.

This is the best advice for drawing.

I didn't know you were an artist, care to share your work?

Of course. Although i wouldn't consider myself an artist. Well then again that depends on your definition of an artist 0_o

Well I'm assuming he's not a beginner or rather, he hasn't just recently started to draw so, in that case it would probably be best for him to try doing things he's not comfortable doing so he can learn how, or at least develop a feel for them, instead of doing things that he's used to, or drawing still life or something, which anyone with any kind of artistic background can do. Unless he's trying to learn how to discern shadows, perspective, or he's neverever done it before, there's not much learning to be had by drawing objects.

Also I don't know how I would. (I am 100% new to forums)

We literally know nothing of his "experience" and the only thing I'm basing it on is the fact that "he can't draw naked people". I mean, I know it's not exactly easy, but if you were a non-beginner, you'd probably have already figured out anatomy at least.

Add to the fact that he is not showing any work at all. He might be out of ideas, but he would certainly have previous works in stock.

And have you considered the fact that he might just want to draw instead of having "an artistic background" whatever that means.

I am assuming noob until proven vet.

Well it's not exactly a 'It's hard to draw naked people' it's more of i have absolutely 0% experience with drawing naked people because i have never actually considered it, along with the fact i am completely inexperienced (is that the correct word?) with drawing realistic people in general.
