An old car – I’m talking really old here. If you see one out in a field – even better. Take photos whenever you come across a subject that may make a great piece of art.

A candle in the dark – The key to being successful with this idea is all in the value. Try to create a lot of contrast.

There is definitely ART in food. Draw food!  Pizzas are fun (that was my dinner last night).  What about Pie? And Burgers.  You can color it in later if you want to sketch it now.
Meditation art:  draw an emotion / color / shape that you see/heard/felt in your meditation or early morning quiet time (if you have any of that).
Utilize poetry or some other writing as a shove in the right direction (for YOU). It could be inspirational, hopeful, humorous, or perhaps historical. I looked down and saw the calendar I wrote for this week as I planned to help entertain two granddaughters, and I think I could make an illustrated calendar, or even perhaps a series of sketches of what we did (so far we have made birthday cards for their aunt, had lunch out, visited the farmers’ market).  There is a 3D movie about dinosaurs on the calendar, as well as some art projects using buttons and fabric samples.  Hmmm…illustrated calendar. I DO like that one.
Take inspiration from a song.  “Sailing” (Christopher Cross) is in my head right now, as well as “Everything’s All Right” (Webber from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR).
Sketch a series – i.e., “three glimpses of spring (or fall, or summer, or happiness, or grief).
Make a statement – what do YOU want to say today on your sketch book?  Do you want to show frustration or anger in colors?  How about peaceful marks on a page instead?
Put pencil to paper – even if you don’t know WHAT you want to say in your art.  Close your eyes and draw, then look down to see what it is.  Food for thought.
Draw inspiration from another art piece.  You might use a famous painting or photo to parody, or to copy in your own style.
Take one of your other drawings, perhaps NOT your favorite. Cut it up into squares and reassemble it in another way.  Draw what results from that mixup.
Draw on a photograph. I used metallic markers on a matte photo.
Make your own coloring page – We used to call this “scribble art”.  We drew shapes on the paper, not picking up the pencil point until we were finished covering the page, then we used markers or crayon or pencils to fill in the shapes with color.  (This was before “adult coloring books”, but definitely as inspiring).
A weeklong challenge: take 7 pieces of drawing paper; make a random shape with marker or dark pencil lead on each; each day pick up one of these and finish the drawing in whatever way you wish. On day 8, choose the drawing that is most inviting to you and paint it or highlight it.
Spring cleaning art!  clean out your bag/drawer; casually drop the contents onto a table or counter, then don’t rearrange them. Sketch the contents just as it fell.
Challenge:  limit your space.  Open your sketchbook; use painters’ tape to give yourself a “frame” of whatever size or shape you prefer, then fill that space with your drawing.
Challenge:  limit your materials.  Choose 3 markers or pencils, one sheet of paper (perhaps uncommon, such as a brown paper bag, for example), and make yourself use only those materials for a drawing.
Challenge:  limit your time.  Set a timer for 3 to 30 minutes and challenge yourself to draw for that time and stop when the timer says STOP.
Challenge: use unusual materials. Try handmade paper, or draw in the margins of junk mail or bills (I really like that one).  What about newspaper? Or take your common paper and crush it into a ball, then flatten it out before drawing.
Draw on OLD paper. This one needs explanation:  some people recycle old books by pulling out the pages and drawing/painting on those pages.  I can’t bring myself to do that, since I collect old documents and books (they are my babies!).  So what I do is to scan an old document or book page, then print it onto regular copy paper or art paper.  Draw with your markers on top of that.
Use celebrating for inspiration: make a card for a birthday or anniversary or other celebration, then share it.
What is your favorite story/book? Perhaps it is a children’s story. You, too, can illustrate a story!
LISTS.  You see how much I like them! Make an illustrated list.  You might consider designing a border with titles for your (blank) list, then print out a bunch for yourself and actually use them to create specific lists as you need them (to-do’s, shopping, trip planning, etc.)
100-word challenge: Write 100 words, just go stream of consciousness and it could even be in list form. Then create art around a word or phrase you’ve written.
Describe your truth in 6 words then draw whatever it inspires.
Design a cover for your future book: journal, novel, coloring book.
Invent a character and draw them in as much detail as possible. BONUS: Write a short story to accompany your drawing. Or write about the character first to get ideas, then draw.
Pick a piece of written work— novel, non-fic, poem — and draw something related to that piece.
Choose a previous drawing and see how you could improve upon it, or what changes you would make now that you’re viewing it with fresh eyes. Many times we are able to see a new perspective once we’ve been removed from our creation for a time!
Find a piece of art that inspires you (any medium), draw it in your own style.
Open your camera roll (on your phone or computer), and pick one of your last five photos to draw.

Draw your family. Or drawn the family you envision one day.
Quickly sketch your favorite meal, but only use one color.
Take a colored pencil color that you almost never use. Draw something you typically would draw (portrait, flower, animal, etc) but only use varying shades of that one color.
Scribble all over your paper, it doesn’t have to make any sense. Then color in the shapes. See if any abstract shape or scene pops out when you’re done.
Choose a favorite chapter of a book you like and sketch what you think that scene looks like in your head. If that book is a show or movie, preferably don’t copy the movie scene.
Have a drawing block? Draw all the things that distract you from focusing on your art (think: Netflix logo, hours of video gaming, over-sleeping). 😉
Draw your gratitude list for the day!
Is there something that really scares you? Draw it as if it was some spooky monster. Then, give it a funny outfit. Like in Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom pictured Snape (a professor he was scared of) in his aunt’s clothes.
