Ok, this sketch is not easy but we included it, because of the amazingly cool effect you can create by mixing cartoonish images with more natural objects, and the ‘breaking the fourth wall’ effect. This sketch is not for beginners, but it can serve as inspiration for drawing ideas that connect directly with the observer.

Cool Fibonacci Snail Drawing Idea.

cool fibonacci snail drawing idea

Sticking with cool geometric shapes, lets jump to this awesome Fibonacci idea. I mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. It is also referred to in art as the Golden Ratio. Many artist use the Golden Ration when they design their painting or drawing ideas.

Many things in nature, such as, pine cones, fruits and cauliflowers display the same spiral patterns that when counted, show the Fibonacci numbers. There are similar spirals of seeds in the center of a sunflower, and in a snails shell.

We love the idea in this drawing, where the artist have drawn a snail climbing squares divided by the Fibonacci numbers. You can draw another image, such as chameleons curling tail, a curling plant or flower. Or try to draw something in proportion in each square, like the sky and sun in the largest square, a tree in the smaller square, a bird in that tree in an even smaller square and so on. It is a fun idea to play around with.

Cool Yin Yang drawing with a Sun and a Moon.

This is another very cool drawing idea. Take the famous Yin Yang symbol, and draw it, but draw something opposite it each half, like a sun and a moon, or a happy and a sad face, or even two kinds of round flowers. It is a nifty idea, and the the Yin yang outline is very easy to draw.

Easy Deer Drawing.

This deer head drawing is both easy and classy. This drawing style of dividing the space into geometric shapes works amazingly well when you are drawing an image with symmetry, a right and left side that is a mirror of each other.

It also makes the deer drawing easier, as you don´t have to worry about details such as the getting the eyes perfect or adding fur. You can create a very impressing drawing, simply by sticking to clean, geometric lines, and making sure that each side of the drawing is an exact mirror or the other half. You will a ruler and a little planning and measuring before you start drawing.

Cute Easy Baby Yoda Drawing.

cool easy baby yoda drawing

Baby Yoda is super easy to draw, and he is cute and you just want to hug him.  We have found the easiest drawing of him, we could find, but you can add details as much as you want.

The cool thing about this Baby Yoda sketch is that you can easily replace the butterfly drawing with something else, like a heart, a frog or a word of your choosing, that adds meaning and depth.

The secret to drawing Baby Yoda is getting the ears right, and long, and drawing the eyes much bigger than you think.

Cute, Easy Baby Groot Drawing (Sketch).

Can’t go wrong with cute baby aliens, so here is another. This Baby Groot sketch is really easy to do, and a fun sketch to do if you are bored, and don’t know what to draw. It is very similar to the Baby Yoda drawing in composition, so why not draw both.

Cool Face Drawing Idea (With Trees and Birds).

cool face drawing outline with trees and birds stuff to draw

We like this sketch idea a lot, though you have to be very precise with the face outline in the drawing to make it work. We recommend to put a face and torso image under your sketch pad and add edge points for the outline to get the dimensions right. Or, if you have a better idea to do this then let use know! Then, add the trees afterwards and then the birds. You could also leave the back of the head ‘open’ and add birds that are flying out and away from the ‘brain’.

Very Cool Black and White Drawing of Man with TV as Head.

This another awesome drawing idea that mixes worlds, and makes you think. The TV Head drawing works best if you see the TV from and angle, like in this image, as it adds perspective. However, we can also easily imagine the drawing made from a point of view directly in front of the TV. Done that way, you could add a small drawing on the actual TV screen.

Whatever you choose, it is a fun and easy sketch to draw, and a very cool and interesting drawing idea. So, try it out.

And yes, the image below is an actual drawing, but a very good, and detailed one. It is not a photograph.

It is a really unique and aesthetic drawing, and quite mesmerizing.

This is another great conceptual idea fora cool drawing. The rain doubles up as words and sentences, creating a not-so-subtle metaphor of the individual drowning in endless conversation. The idea works as an image and a concept, but if you don´t feel like writing all those words, the drawing also works really well with just creating long, vertical lines as the rain, instead.

Awesome Two-Page Giraffe Drawing.
