Frequently asked questions

How does the random things to draw generator work?

It selects from a curated list of simple, drawable subjects using your browser's random number generator. Every subject has an equal chance of appearing and nothing is stored.

What kinds of subjects are in the list?

A mix of everyday objects, animals, places, food, and abstract concepts — prompts that are concrete enough to sketch quickly but varied enough to keep sessions interesting.

Can I get multiple drawing prompts at once?

Yes. Set the count to draw up to 6 prompts in one go, which is ideal for a warm-up set or filling a grid page in your sketchbook.

Is this useful for teaching art?

Yes. Teachers and instructors can use it to assign spontaneous in-class drawing exercises without having to prepare a list themselves.

What if I don't know how to draw the prompt well?

That's exactly the point. The prompts are meant to challenge and stretch your range. Draw your best interpretation and move on — no critique required.
