- Press New idea or the space bar. Tap any colored word to swap just that part.
- Like a part? Turn on Keep for it and it stays while everything else changes.
- Start a timer, open the Sketch pad and draw. Save the picture or press the heart to keep the idea for later.
Why random ideas help you draw more
The hardest part of drawing is often deciding what to draw. A random idea removes that decision, so you start faster and draw subjects you would never pick yourself. That variety is how sketchbooks grow and how skills stretch.
Easy ideas are great for warm-ups and kids. Medium ideas add an action, which pushes you to think about poses. Hard ideas combine strange materials and places, which is perfect for concept art practice and illustration challenges.
Make it a habit with the daily challenge
Everyone who visits on the same day gets the same daily drawing challenge. Draw it, press I drew it, and your streak grows. Your streak and saved ideas stay in this browser, with no account needed.
