help me with prompts please!

[badbastion]

Long story short, my old tablet+computer+graphics program are no longer useable, so i'm on a WHOLE NEW SYSTEM with a newer tablet that i'm not familiar with, and a graphics program i'm even less familiar with.

Sooooo, I need to practice hardcore to get good enough to draw things I can actually share with people.

Please give me some prompts! I promise that I will at least try to do each one of them. Nothing too complicated, please, I'm just trying to get used to the new tablet & program.

Alsoooo, does anyone know of any cheap or free graphics programs? Now all I have is photoshop CS4, and I don't love it. I really don't like GIMP, and I can't get Paint Tool Sai (my program of choice) to work on my laptop.

Thanks a bunch!

So. Random prompts. (Feel free to tell me "thanks but no thanks" if you think they suck, lol. Otherwise I could probably go on...For a very long time.)

Man fishing from a dock. (Can be Dean Winchester, if you prefer, lol)
The woman in red.
The Winchesters at the beach.
Spaghetti dinner.
Dogs playing at the park.
A maple tree in its fall colors.
A dragon.
A famous landmark you've visited or want to visit.
Umbrella and rain boots.
A reflection (mirror, water, other shiny surface).
A pig. (Or a pug, per my phone's suggestion XP)
Baby on the wide open road.
Bouquet of flowers.
Your favorite fictional character.

(I have no personal attachment to any of these -except for maybe the beach!Winchesters and Baby ;) - but I hope they are maybe helpful to you despite their utter randomness)
