Favorite Drawing Prompt List

[Coley]

I follow Noemie and Simona, and has seen their illustrations,but didn’t realize it was a follow along the prompts if you want sort of thing. I’ve been looking for some ideas too, I might join on this. And give myself two years to complete it lol! I’m so slow. Gesture class is helping me speed up on characters. Backgrounds are currently painful lol.

@KajsaH I heard about this one and was looking for the prompts as well. Thank you for sharing!

@Coley I think these prompts will take me at least 2 years too, haha! But you could combine them too, draw several characters with different emotions in one pic

[Coley]

@KajsaH that's a good thought

I have been working on a prompt generator for myself for writing. It is based on word lists that create a sentence.

I have updated the word lists to reflect 'nouns' that are in the world I have been creating and 'settings' that are in the same world. Feel free to copy the google sheet and update with word lists that fit what you want to write or draw about and this could be a nice tool for you as well.

@theprairiefox woooowwwwwww

I have no idea how you're doing this magic but it's very cool and I'm very intrigued

@EliaMurrayArt it is pretty funny how I stumbled on it.

I was looking for prompts online and found this blog post about using a LeapFrog game for prompts.

And I then I thought I could take the idea to the next level using the Randomize function in Google Sheets. I found some words lists and voila, I had a prompt generator.

The verb and adjective word list came from supereasystorytelling.com. Vibrant Verbs and Awesome Adjectives

As I said, I wanted the nouns and settings to be my own so I built those myself.

@theprairiefox That awesome! Thank you for sharing these websites too. These are so great

@theprairiefox @EliaMurrayArt I have been working on something like this for a while too. I posted recently about it :
https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/9625/free-art-prompts-app-for-ios-beta-testers-wanted

Example of generated prompts can be seen here:

It's generally the same idea as @theprairiefox - just wrapped into an iOS app.
I have thought about how I can make it easy to add your own word lists and challenges, but I have not gotten around to that yet.
But I will follow up on the ideas and word lists mentioned above, and see how I can add them to the App.
If anybody want to contribute and collaborate on the app, word lists, challenges, design etc., let me know. The app is currently in beta test - and it will be free when it gets published on the App store.

@bofrese I like that the prompts you are generating are more geared towards drawing. It might be interesting to have different modes for drawing vs. writing.

My sheet is definitely geared toward writing as that is what I am using it for. I kind of need more of a story going on.

@bofrese That is so cool - I was looking for an app like this but couldn't find anything that felt right. I look forward to checking it out!!

@Braden-Hallett & @nadyart

I posted this a couple weeks ago and there were some great responses!

@EliaMurrayArt Awesome! Thanks for looping me in

[bofrese]

@EliaMurrayArt have you had a chance to use the app? I would love some feedback

@KajsaH thanks for sharing, I’m loving this mood idea one. I’m all about moods might have to give it a try
