If you haven't yet read this post by John Hendrix on finding your artistic voice, may I kindly suggest you do so immediately?
After reading it last week, I sat down and made a list of 100 things that I like drawing. It's a terrific exercise and well-worth the time.
And I'll spare you the full set, but the abridged version includes:
- Concertinas
- Seaweed
- Onion Domes
- Creatures of indeterminate taxonomy
- Mermaids
- Mystery, but not mayhem
- Plaited Hair
- Vigilantes
- Violins
- Questionable sartorial choices
- Apples
- Striped Socks
- Carrots
- Fascinators
- Dinosaurs
- New England Wildflowers
- Non-malevolent monsters
- Birch Trees
- Sleuths
- Any and all fairy tales/folktales/stories-with-no-basis-in-reality-or-science
All of this begs the question, of course: what's on your list?

I love this idea! Must make my own list, stat! (also kind of surprised to see monsters missing from your list!)
Whoops, I take that back! I now see that monsters made the cut. Whew. And I'm relieved they're of the non-malevolent sort.
That post is fantastic, thank you for linking to it!
I am working on my list. I think a handful of them would have to be:
1. Buddhas
2. Rabbits
3. Cacti
4. Girls with their hair blowing in the wind
5. foxes
Those are some great girls. Very cute.
