Day 130 Image and Techniques for Generating Ideas

I watched an episode on phlearn.com the other day on How to Come Up with Great Ideas and Make Them Happen and have tried it a few times.  I've come up with some good ideas, but they are too elaborate for 365 Project.  So tonight I sat down and drew the following sketch following Aaron Nace's instructions in this Phlearn episode.

The black lines are the original scribbles.  The red lines are emphasizing images that I saw in my scribbles. My sketching sucks, but you can probably see a person-like thing holding a wine glass and another person-like thing holding a bottle of wine. So I came up with this idea to have me looking so innocently at the wine-owner (also me) accusing me of drinking his/her wine.


So, although it's not the greatest photo in the world and some people may not even get it (it's hard to see the wine stained lips, wine stained sketch book, and wine glass stem hiding behind the monitors), I find it amazing that I was able to come up with this idea just from scribbling on a blank page in Photoshop. 

Here is the final image titled "Day 130/365 What Makes You Think It Was Me?"

 What makes you think it was me?
