Mountainscape

Landscapes paired with the night sky are a natural option for drawing endeavors.

Alternatively, keeping it as plain as this, too, works wonderfully.

Taking an ordinary activity, like fishing, and placing it in an unexpected place is great fun.

A wonderfully spooky combo, black cats and moons are another great duo.

Thecat drawingand moon getting intertwined makes for a fun and unexpected image and is fun to draw.

Moons can be a very romantic symbol in any phase that they currently inhabit.

Changing the design of how the clouds are drawn makes for a more unique result.

Facial expressions or other facial additions always make for a more exciting composition.
