Random Drawing Prompt of the Day

Get one new random drawing prompt every day. The prompt of the day is the same for everyone, so you can draw along with friends, art classes or online communities – then compare how differently you each interpreted it. Missed a day? The last seven prompts are always here.

How the daily drawing prompt works

Each day the generator picks a new prompt using the date, which means:

• It changes at midnight in your own time zone.
• Everyone sees the same prompt on the same date.
• Past prompts stay the same, so the 7-day archive always matches what people drew.

If you’d rather have something else, the Random drawing prompt button below the daily prompt gives you a brand-new idea at any difficulty.

Build a daily drawing habit

The hardest part of drawing every day is deciding what to draw. A prompt of the day removes that decision. Here’s a simple way to make the habit stick:

1. Bookmark this page or add it to your phone’s home screen.
2. Draw at the same time each day – with your morning coffee or before bed.
3. Keep it short. Ten to twenty minutes is enough.
4. Use one sketchbook and date every page.
5. Don’t break the chain. If you’re busy, a two-minute doodle still counts.

Share your drawings

Because everyone gets the same daily prompt, it’s ideal for sharing. Post your drawing with the prompt in the caption and look for others who drew the same thing. Art teachers can also use it as a daily bell-ringer activity.
