The method

The Three-Spin Drawing Challenge

Most random drawing generators give you one subject. Mixing a subject with a style and a twist gives thousands of combinations and pushes you out of habits:

  • Spin 1: press a subject list (Easy, Animals, Characters, Places, Objects, Fantasy or Food) and spin.
  • Spin 2: press Styles and spin.
  • Spin 3: press Twists or Time limits and spin.
  • Check the Results tab for all three, then draw.

Example: a sleepy fox + pixel art + in space.
