I love to draw, but whenever I actually have the time to sit down and sketch, my mind usually goes blank. I'll look through my past pages or online for inspiration, but I always wind up back at the same old, worn-out ideas. There are plenty of tutorials online for sketching animals, people, places and such, but they don't help if you don't know what to search for. Below, I've compiled 15 fresh ideas to sketch or paint. Sometimes, when you start drawing one thing, it'll morph into another wondrous masterpiece or a misguided monstrosity. Either way, it's a fun journey and a great way to spend a cold evening indoors. If you're looking for images to spark your artistic side, look no further. Good luck, and happy drawing!

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
