I follow a few of role playing blogs, so I ask them if I can draw there characters. Its a fun way to pass the time, and a good way to make friends if you have never talked to them before.

Challenge for both Writers and Artists.

1. Click this link. It’ll take you to any random page on this blog.
2. Pick the first image you see. It must be that picture and nothing else. If it wasn’t a picture you got; click the link again until you get one.
3. Now, draw or/and write anything inspired and/or related to that picture. Go with anything. Don’t take it too literally - just go with whatever hits your head and let your creativity flow!

Also, if you did this challenge, we’d love to see! Submit it to us!

Tips with songs as inspiration

Now that I think about it, this goes for both drawing and writing. I usually do this while writing, since I type faster than I draw!

Choose a song. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1 minute or 7 minutes long. Be inspired by it. Find a new song that you can just be swept away by or use an old one you know you love. See the scene before your eyes. I know we all do it, we get swept away by the songs. We imagine ourselves or our characters doing certain things. These certain things are just what you’re going to write/draw about! Do not care if it sucks or if it puts you on the pedestal, just write/draw it.

The catch is, you must not continue after the song ends. When the song is done, you’re done. No more writing. Don’t care that it’s not finished. It’s just for fun and practice.

Do this several times with several songs. I promise you, it’s a loooot of fun!
