What Should I Draw? Spin for Your Next Idea
Published
What should you draw? Choose something you can see or love: an animal, your favorite food, a dinosaur, or the room you’re sitting in. If you can’t decide, spin the drawing wheel, set a timer for ten minutes and start with the first line.
Spin a Drawing Idea
The drawing wheel has twenty ideas to spin. A random subject takes away the hardest part, which is choosing, and sometimes you end up drawing something you’d never have thought of.
Easy Things to Draw for Beginners
Start with simple shapes that build into something: a cat from circles, a house from squares, a tree, a fish, a cup, your hand. Draw the same thing three times, and you’ll see the third is better.
Drawing Games for Kids and Classes
Spin two wheels and combine them: a dinosaur plus a superpower, or a pet in a season. Everyone draws the same thing for five minutes, and then the class shares. Nobody’s picture looks the same.
When You’re Stuck
Set a timer for ten minutes and don’t lift your pencil for the first one. Draw something badly on purpose, or copy what’s on your desk. Getting started matters far more than the idea.
