      How to verify this spin

      Daily sketch routine

      Drawing Prompt Wheel with the Starter preset loaded: A cat in space, Your dream house, A robot chef, An underwater city…
      The Starter preset: 8 slices, ready to spin.

      3. Set a timer for 10 minutes and draw without erasing.

      Why prompts help

      Drawing Prompt Wheel with the Observation preset loaded: Your hand, A shoe, A mug, A houseplant…
      The Observation preset: 6 slices, ready to spin.

      Choosing what to draw uses the same energy you need for drawing. A random prompt removes that decision and pushes you towards subjects you would not pick yourself, which is how skills grow.

      Pair with colour

      Drawing Prompt Wheel with the Challenge preset loaded: Only circles, One continuous line, 60-second sketch, Non-dominant hand…
      The Challenge preset: 6 slices, ready to spin.

      Spin the colour wheel twice and use only those two colours.

      Frequently asked questions

      How do I make the prompts harder?

      Spin a subject, then spin a challenge, for example “a robot chef” drawn in one continuous line.

      Is it good for classrooms?

      Yes. Spin one prompt for the whole class and compare how differently everyone interprets it.
