Having trouble coming up with something to draw? No worries - while you'll eventually learn how to start from a tiny seed of a thought and gradually nurture it into a complex concept to explore through design and illustration, it's perfectly fine not to be there just yet.
For now though, here's an idea that might interest you.
Tea Time at World's End
It's been a long day - you've been picking through the remains of society, looking for anything valuable to sell. You haven't found much, and you're stressed. But you know what'll do the trick? A nice hot cup of tea - it's the only proper way to relax, after all.
Too bad you don't have a kettle, and there isn't a single one in this whole sunbaked field of trash. But that's okay - you're resourceful. Design a tea kettle from pieces you'd find laying around after society's collapse.
These sports-inspired tetanus risks were designed by Jordan Null.

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
