NOTE
To really get the most out of this list, interpret it upon how you first read the theme. No need to ask me “Hey, would this fall under ____,” just draw it. Also, I wouldn’t draw fan art for this. If you can, be entirely original. You can use your own creations or characters of course, but I would try and use many different characters, make some up in the process, of course.

The list is unusual, but I wanted to cover everything, including touchy subjects. This is about expanding your horizons, hopefully in your use of mediums and the way you approach certain things as well as subject matter, so I hope that the list does not make you feel limited in any way. I believe that artists should be completely desensitized to anything that may come their way; they must lose all innocence if they wish to truly express themselves without the fear of inhibiting themselves, or being suppressed by others, or, maybe in some countries, the possibility of getting into trouble just for drawing some of the subject matter if you got caught with it. Artistic freedom, that includes dancing and music and singing and poetry and writing and any other form of expression, is the greatest, most potentially individual and harmless freedom humankind has synthesized yet.
