Spin for something to draw

Staring at a blank page? Spin the wheel and draw whatever it lands on. It starts with twenty ideas, from a friendly dragon to a treehouse, and each has the same chance. A random prompt takes away the hardest part of drawing, which is deciding what to draw.

Tap Animals, Fantasy or Things for a set of twelve ideas in that style. Use it for daily sketches, an art class warm-up, a challenge with friends or a bedtime drawing game with kids.

Type your own prompts to make the wheel yours, for example characters from a story or items from a still life. Turn on "Retire winners" to work through the list once without repeats.
