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.
Everything a Magic Vessel
Look, I get it. Every djinn and their mother wants the shiniest, most opulent bottle to call their eternal prison. I'm even willing to accept that beyond the vanity of it all, the eye-catching nature of it even serves a purpose, making it more likely that if found, your unwitting saviour might deign to clean it off and renew its sparkle.
But come ON, the times have changed! The Ottoman Empire has fallen, and there are so many new and interesting prisons to call home!
Pick a container - anything with four "walls" and a lid - and design the djinn that would call it home. Consider how elements of the vessel would reflect upon the djinn's own design, and vice versa!

Marco Bucci's Getting Started with Digital Painting
Marco Bucci's got a ton of great courses available on proko.com, including some of the best videos you can find on using colour and light. Since a lot of our students want to break into working with digital painting however, I thought this course in particular would be a great start to get into the weeds with how to navigate the confusing world of layers, brushes, and more.
This course highlights programs across the full spectrum of options, ranging from the current industry standard Adobe Photoshop, to the Free-and-Open-Source darling Krita, as well as the mobile favourite, Procreate.
