Do you feel like drawing something beautiful but you’re out of ideas? Don’t worry, here’s a list of 16 cool and simple drawings to inspire you.
Taking a moment to disconnect and draw something cute will help you reduce your stress. Whether you’re just starting out or have been drawing for years, try some of these drawings, and you’ll see that you’ll be smiling by the time you finish.
To start, all you need is paper and a pencil.
1. Polaroid
Drawing a landscape might not seem very special, especially if it’s a simple one. However, frame it inside a polaroid, and it instantly looks different.
2. Open Door
An open door is an invitation to enter, but where to? Instead of drawing the door of a boring room, let your imagination run wild. Behind this door, you could find space, a beach, the future, or the bottom of the sea.
3. Bouquet
If you know how to draw flowers (and you do, because all you need are a couple of circles), you can make a whole bouquet. Draw a bunch of circles of different sizes, some flowers with petals, and then add the lines for the stems. A few loose leaves as extra decoration, and you have a beautiful bouquet!
4. Day and Night
The contrast of day and night, light and dark, always makes for interesting drawings. For this drawing, it’s helpful to have a white opaque ink marker that allows you to draw over black.
5. Puzzle
We feel a certain satisfaction when we see puzzle pieces fitting together, and they are very simple to draw. Additionally, each piece can feature a small drawing of things that “fit” for you.
6. Glass Jar
Just like with the door, an everyday object like a glass jar can become magical and surprising depending on what you put inside it.
7. Potions
Magic potions are like the glass jar but with more creative shapes. But with potions, it’s essential that the contents are original, surprising… and even fun.
8. Paper Airplane
A paper airplane is a very simple and somewhat mundane drawing. But you can add a twist and a lot of meaning by drawing different shapes in the flight path it has followed.
9. Cat in a Cup
Cats are always cute. But if you put them inside a container where a cat shouldn’t fit, they become IRRESISTIBLY adorable.
10. Stamp
The stamp works like the polaroid, as a frame that transforms everyday things into a valuable object. You can fill a notebook page with an entire collection of stamps, and it will look spectacular.
11. Plants
A single plant might not say much, but accompany it with a few more with different shapes, flowers, pots… and you’ll have a very cute drawing.
12. Mobile Message
Drawing a mobile phone is as simple as making a couple of rectangles. How can we turn it into a cute drawing? By adding a message with emojis from someone who cares about us.
13. Susuwatari
Everyone who watched the movie Spirited Away fell in love with these little creatures. They are super easy to draw, and with their long arms and legs, they look very funny. They look best when they’re always together.
14. Walking House
We all know how to draw a house—we’ve done it a thousand times when we were kids! Now that you’re older, put a twist on the usual: draw some legs on it and take your house for a walk.
15. Swallow
This is a slightly more complicated drawing but beautiful and poetic. It’s not that hard to do if you pay close attention to the proportions, but you can also try other birds using reference photos: a sparrow, a dove, etc.
16. Rose
The most drawn flower of all time (or is it the daisy?) and still has something special. It’s much easier to draw than it seems when you see a real one.
