Drawing ideas for every level
Easy prompts are single subjects, like a teapot or a sleepy cat. They are perfect for warm-ups and quick sketches. Medium prompts add an action or a mood, like a giraffe looking surprised or a lighthouse in a snowstorm. Hard prompts give you a full scene and a challenge that pushes your skills, such as drawing with one continuous line.
Tips for better drawing practice
- Start with shapes. Block in circles, boxes and triangles before adding detail.
- Use reference photos. Look up the subject before you draw it. Artists do this all the time.
- Time yourself. A 10-minute limit stops you from over-working a drawing.
- Draw the same prompt twice. Do it once quickly, then again slowly, and compare.
