Find things that interest you and write it in one area of the white paper
Things I find interesting...
-brains
-beaks
-lines with dots
-faces
-cell phones

writing in different sizes will make the drawing interesting.
Make sure you will use the whole page.

I appreciate the instructable, although, I am a little disappointed to see this done so easily. I think I've lost my romance with art.

Art is an expression from the heart, it can be complicated or easy, it's what you make it. If this was too easy for you try making a challenge for yourself to make it more difficult and I promise ot will be rewarding. the fact that this is so easy for you just means your mind wants more! feed your imagination and let the emotions flow through your chosen artistic tools. Like I said the only reason you were disappointed in the ease of this project is because you obviously desire your art to be a challenge... SO use that to create AWESOME things. :) good luck and happy tinkering.

That's why I love art so much. Because it can take years to finish or seconds. Just depends on how you look at it, and as 'they' say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Here's a tip for Y'all artists! When searching for pictures of your drawings, search the name first, then search the name + "clip art" behind it. Also, remove any pluralization (remove the s). Therefore you can look for already-simplified images! Example: Searching for "oranges" First search: "oranges" --- returned very detailed images... Second search: "orange clip art" -- returned very fine samples of modern art.

Maybe you could add this to this Instructable... just so everyone could see this tip.

I liked this Instuctable very much, it opened my mind in some sort of way. I decided to do it on a smaller piece of paper, becuse i didnt had any thick markers. I made it in about 2 hours, but i was really enojoing it.

The colour definitely works with this kind of art work. Beautiful job. Great idea for the artist with limited drawing skills. I'll give this one a go soon.

Thank you! I had lots of fun with this. I used a combination of Prismacolor colored pencils and some oil pastels.
