50 Fun Things to Draw When Bored!
Need something to create meaning in the mundane routine of daily life? Get yourself a sketchbook and browse my list of fun things to draw when bored.
Drawing is something that everyone at every level should do. It is one of the best ways to express your feelings, thoughts, and memories. Each of us needs a safe space where we can create art without feeling judged – even by our own inner critic!
In fact, our own inner critic is the worst critic!
You need to allow yourself to draw for the pure enjoyment of putting pen (or other medium) to paper and exploring the process of mark-making and how it feels.
Don't give up because the end result is not what you expected it to be. You have to push through the fear of failure and realize that making art is so much more than doing a perfect artwork.

Boredom is a funny thing. We spend most of our lives looking for quiet spaces to just do what we want to do, and then suddenly when we have lots of space and time, we feel like something is missing.
I truly believe boredom is rather a lack of purpose, or the desire to do something meaningful. It is so important that we embrace that creative craving and make something…and drawing is one of the best ways to do that!
In my list of things to draw when bored, I have included both easy to draw and more challenging subject matter for you to choose from.
50 Things to Draw When Bored
Leafy, organic patterns in a fox face.
This is a great way to create an interesting piece of art! Sketch the outline of the animal's head and then fill it with geometric and organic shapes. I would suggest starting your drawing in pencil and then going over the lines in pen.
Deer Face
Here is another example of an animal face with a pattern inside. It has been drawn in pen and if you like you can color in the shapes after you have finished the drawing.
Mouse Drawing in Pencil
This is one of many gorgeous little animal sketches done by rabbit-rivulet on Instagram. The artist has used delicate pencil lines and accurate shapes which really give us a sense of this little creature's sweet character!
Emotion's Doodle Character
Perhaps you are not feeling brave enough to tackle a more complex drawing, and you want to do a simple drawing that expresses how you feel. This is a fun drawing to do because you can change up the facial expressions and add color to the drawing if you like!
This also makes a great little doodle for your bujo, art journal or sketchbook!
Skulls
If you want to learn how to draw skulls then it is a really good idea to visit your local museum and draw from observation. Practicing skull drawing definitely improves your drawing skills!
Sweet Treats
Cookies
Another one of the sweet treat drawing ideas! This will certainly get your appetite going – and it's easy to draw.
Cupcakes
A cupcake is one of the easy things to draw and it helpful to try out as you learn to draw the basic. First, draw the geometric shapes (circles and squares) and then add details to make it look like a cupcake! This drawing is so cute – do you want to eat one?
Zentangle Heart
Drawing a Zentangle is a lot of fun and is very therapeutic! It's easy to float away to another world while you are drawing your patterns. It is also one of the easiest things to draw!
You can have a focus shape for your Zentangle design, and then you can fill up space around the shape with Zentangle patterns and lines. This is definitely one of the best things to draw when bored because you don't have to plan it out too much beforehand! Zentangles are cool things to draw and you can come up with some great drawing ideas of your own for them!
Moon Zentangle Mandala
This beautiful Zentangle drawing was carefully drawn by Paridhi Jawandhiya. The use of black pen with white highlights really makes this design pop! Have a look at some of her other work – she has some amazing drawing ideas!
