  • Use sculpture photos as your model
  • Set up a still life
  • Copy a drawing or painting you love
  • Go to the museum
  • Get outside (or to the mall) and draw people unobtrusively
  • Draw big if you're used to drawing on a small scale, or the other way around
  • Employ the household pets as life drawing models
  • Draw your portrait, they try again so you look younger, then older; frowning, then smiling
  • Crumple up some paper, linens, or clothes and draw the folds
  • Celebrate Halloween year-round; keep plastic skeletons and skulls around to sketch from

  • Go outside and sketch the landscape
