What should I draw today?
Press Next idea. You get a random thing to draw, put together from parts, so the ideas stay fresh. Choose one thing, a thing doing something, or a small scene, and a theme such as animals, fantasy, food, or daily life.
How the drawing ideas work
Each idea is put together from parts: a thing, a trait, an action, and a place. Pick the level. One thing gives you a single subject, like a sleepy fox. Doing something adds an action, like a robot baking bread. A small scene adds a place, like a lifeguard reading a book on a crowded train. The parts make 110,124 different ideas, so the results stay fresh.
Pick a theme to stay with animals, fantasy, food, everyday things, nature, characters, or daily life. Daily life holds the people of an ordinary day in a city, like a barista or a commuter.
Ways to use it

Draw one idea a day for 10 minutes. Keep the level at one thing until it feels easy, then add the action.
Draw off with a friend
Send the same link to a friend. You both get the same idea, draw it in 15 minutes, and compare.
In class
Press Present to put the idea on the projector. Students draw it, then write two sentences about their drawing. For a drawing game in teams, use the Pictionary word generator, and for a writing warm-up, the random word generator.
