We’ve all been there, right? Staring at that empty sheet of paper, unsure of what to draw next. It’s like all our creativity has dried up, leaving us stuck in an artistic rut. Even our favorite pencils or pens seem to laugh at us, daring us to come up with an idea. We know the struggle of trying to find drawing inspiration when creativity seems to have taken a break. That’s when drawing prompts become a lifesaver—they help spark our imagination and get us creating cool artwork that our friends love, until they realize there’s a cost for custom pieces.
But it’s not just artists who face creative block. It can happen to anyone—writers, musicians, and even inventors! Some of the most brilliant minds in history have struggled with this frustrating feeling. Even while working on Bored Panda content, we sometimes hope the blank page will magically fill itself with amazing ideas. Spoiler: that never happens.
