There are 1325 ideas for you to draw!
drawing-ideas.net was created because I was looking for more things to draw in my sketchbook. At my current drawing skill level, I need a reference image to draw just about everything. When DALL·E became available, it produced the most stunning images and I had so much fun playing with it. TOO much fun. It was hard to stop.
I’d been learning to draw the anatomy of the face for portraits and completed a handful of ‘draw with me’ tutorials on YouTube. I could draw the lines if I could see the lines, but I was having trouble with real photo references. I wondered if the AI art generator could create a pencil sketch of a portrait for me to draw. It did a great job! and I had a ton of fun drawing it! Success.
So I kept feeding it ideas of things that I wanted to draw. The result was so good and so plentiful I didn’t want to keep them all to myself. So I decided to share them with you.
Feel free to use these AI renditions to draw your own art. Get ideas from them, trace them exactly in effort to learn to draw, you can even draw or paint them exactly and sell your work.
