What Should I Draw? Drawing Prompt Wheel
Beat the blank page: spin for a drawing idea, from a cat wearing boots to a castle in the clouds, and start sketching right away.
Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.
How it works
- Press Spin to get a subject, then set a timer and draw.
- Pick a preset: Easy for young kids, Animals and Fantasy for imagination, Objects for observation drawing.
- Add your own ideas, one per line, to build a prompt list for your class or sketchbook.
What people use it for
Art class warm-up
Spin once, give everyone five minutes, then compare how differently each student drew the same prompt.
Daily sketch habit
One spin a day keeps a sketchbook going without spending time deciding what to draw.
Drawing game
Players take turns spinning and drawing while the others guess the prompt.
Questions
- Can I share a prompt with my class?
- Yes. After a spin, “Share result” gives a link to the prompt, and “Share wheel” shares the whole list.
- Can I avoid repeating prompts?
- Turn on “Remove winner after each spin”: each prompt is set aside until you restore the wheel.
