Hey guess what? Making this giraffe has been my daily warmup!

This is how I personally found the motivation to post post at least one artwork every month for the past seven years!

It's by no mean THE solution to fight artblocks, nor "the good one"! Feel free to check many other tutorials from various artists and craft your own style!

Fave it, download it, share it, enjoy it how you want ~

The artworks used as example in this tutorial:

All the other pictures have been found on these free stock image websites:

I forgot one important thing in this tutorial:
Place yourself in condition to draw, before you draw. Find a calm and comfortable environment if you can. Being able to think of your artwork and nothing else is a luxury that helps a lot focusing on what you do. Sit straight (I see you, banana-shaped people), set up your drawing tablet or piece of paper on a comfortable level, so it's not painful for your arms and wrists. Stretch when you need to.
And remember: a warmup a day keeps the artblock away!

Link to random art prompts generators which I personally use:
Random art prompt generator
Coolors > get a random color palette to work with
Clothing by periods > try a period you never drew before!
Character design references > Thousands and thousands of sources to nourish your inspiration river ~
Species generator !
Random animals : draw the one you like the most, or mix all three!
Legendary creature generator
Lines of action
Sketch daily

Show me your giraffes in the comments! (:
