In this article you will find some cool things to draw, so take a look and pick your favorite designs from those mentioned below.

Flowers

Since there are so many varieties of flowers which exist in different colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns, they make beautiful designs if they are drawn as a single flower or many together. The most commonly used flower pictures are of roses, marigolds, periwinkle, etc. The specialty of these designs is that, they are easy to draw and look great when combined with other designs like leaves, creepers, or birds.

Animals and Birds

Animals and birds like elephants, camels, tigers, horses, swallows, peacocks, swans, butterflies, etc. are great structures to be drawn. Their shapes are easy to make and they can be very uniquely designed with varied patterns.
