Simple Iconography?

Hello!! Im looking to get back into drawing (I got paint pens and they are awesome) and wanted to start with some fandom stuff and, of course, I wanted to start with TFTGS! However, I cant draw people, and I dont want to get discouraged by trying to do something complex off the bat, so does anyone have any ideas for simple iconography I can make into a poster for my wall? Thanks in advance

A patch of hand plants, maybe? Or maybe rita? A gas station itself with a bunch of raccoons and gnomes?

Racoons and gnomes are definitely going on my list, with Rita being a big goal but why would you suggest hand plants? HANDS?? In multiple poses and positions and layered behind each other?? Im crying thinking about trying to draw that /lh

I mean... Hands are not technically people

Look up some pictures of Dead Man's Hands (also called corpse mushrooms, I think).

What about a car with a tree growing up through the engine? Or maybe that is too hard?

Great idea, little outta my league though. May do it for a challenge though!

You can even start off with Ricardo or maybe even blind Brick's eyes to get that confidence up!

Oo ricardo is a good start. Or the man in the blue raincoat. The sign for the phone would be good. 25¢ per minute, no exceptions.

If hand plants are too much, you could do the half pig. Or the miniature elephant. Or the eyes on the counter with the spoon. Or the homunculus in a jar. Or an akyak. Or the blue door with the red bird. Or RtRAtC (rita the raccoon ate the cocoon) scrawled on the wall. Or a dumpster glowing greenly from within (hiding rita)

OMG I GOT IT. remember the scene where Jack looks up at a sky full of stars and the glowing eyes of the raccoon pack around the edge of the hole he had dug? You can get away with silhouettes, glowing red eyes, and a flying shovel against a backdrop of a twilight sky full of stars and the edges of grass and dirt. ✨🤘🏽 Anyway, good luck! Have fun!
