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.
Khajiit has Wares
When you look into your pet's eyes, what do you see? Is it happiness? Love? Affection? Disdain?
No. What you see there is absolute mercantile brilliance. You see, if it weren't for their distinct lack of thumbs, your pet would immediately conquer the world of business, by opening their very own store.
But what would they sell? Where would they set up shop? Would they deal in antiques? Would they delve into the complex world of import-export? Maybe they'd sell medicine! Surely they wouldn't go straight for the black market...
Show us what your pet would sell, or design the shop itself. Consider what might make this job for them difficult, and how those barriers might be knocked down so Fluffy can get started on their business empire!
This prompt is part of our special "Pet Week" Promptathon, where all of the prompts are themed around our pets. You are encouraged to use your own pet as a focus if you have one, but if not, feel free to use ours! You'll find many photos of our beautiful Sweater Sleeves here - we've been posting one each day for the last six months for just this purpose.

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
