Developing New Drawing Pose Ideas:
Consume more content
One of the major mistakes creators and artists with art block make is assuming that new ideas should simply flow into their head without any help – because they are artists. They make the mistake to assume that just because you associate with being a creative that you should be an endless fountain of creativity.
This is not the case.
An artistic mind needs fuel. If you find yourself out of ideas – go watch more movies, read more books, listen to music, or whatever you like. The more ideas you engage with the more pieces you’ll have to play with in your visual library. You never know where you’ll find inspiration to motivate you or pieces you want to keep for your own works.
Study more than humans
Another issue getting in the way of finding new ideas for your gestures is getting locked in to just working with only human figures. You should be studying all of the natural world from time to time.
Other animals, trees, plants, mushrooms, technology etc. all contribute new shape forms, textures, and figure flows you can incorporate into your character work – as well as help you generate new ideas.
Give yourself random limitations
Sometimes one of the things blocking new ideas coming to us is too much possibility. When you have a blank piece of paper in front of you, you can draw anything. But once you start drawing you immediately limit yourself. That fear of limitation, or the overwhelm of choice, can both hamstring your ability to find and work with new ideas.
So rather than run from it, embrace it. Give yourself random limitations to spark new ideas. Decide “I can’t use green”, “Only bald characters today”, “I can only draw knights and flowers”. This initial focusing of what you are allowed or not allowed to draw can help jumpstart new ways of creating you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.
Explore outside your comfort zone
As we get into creative rhythms we, at times, might find ourselves getting into creative patterns – artistic habits, if you will. You might always find that when you start doodling you draw a specific face. This isn’t a bad thing – but it can get in the way of coming up with new ideas.
When this happens, I suggest exploring content that starkly contrasts what you create by default. If you always find yourself drawing nasty, male orcs and goblins roaming a gloomy cave (and you want new ideas), spend the day instead looking at and playing with references that are completely different. Look at cute females lounging on a beach. Before you know it, you’re drawing cute goblins in board shorts surfing – or nasty humans in a cave.
Whatever, just go engage with things you aren’t comfy with to get new ideas.
Learn the fundamentals so you can mix and match
A critical piece many artists neglect when trying to find new ideas for their characters and figures is they fail to develop their fundamentals. It’s really hard to mix and match new ideas if you don’t have a strong understanding of perspective, anatomy, or color theory.
Your fundamentals are the canvas of your expression. Without a strong means of support your ideas won’t stick. They’ll just slough away.
