What Should I Draw Wheel

The "what should I draw" wheel answers the blank-page question with a subject: it is already loaded with 30 drawing ideas, from fantasy and sci-fi to things on your desk, so you can spin and start sketching instead of scrolling for inspiration.

What is on the wheel

Thirty subjects we picked to be concrete enough to start on straight away and open enough to draw in any style: fantasy (dragon, mermaid, wizard, unicorn), sci-fi (robot, astronaut, rocket, underwater city), places and buildings (castle, lighthouse, treehouse, haunted house), nature (volcano, waterfall, fox in the snow, jellyfish) and things you can draw from life — your pet, your shoes, your hand, a coffee mug, a self-portrait. Every idea appears once, so each has a 1 in 30 chance — 3.33%.

Ways to use a drawing idea wheel

• Art block: spin once and give yourself ten minutes with whatever comes up, however rough.
• 30-day challenge: switch on "Remove the winner" and spin 30 times in one go — the spin history saves the order in this browser, and that is your schedule for the month.
• Mash-ups: spin twice and draw both in one picture — a wizard in a food truck, a dragon in a lighthouse.
• Art class or club: spin once on the projector so the whole room draws the same subject, or share the wheel link so everyone spins the same list.
• Drawing game with friends: one spin, a five-minute timer, then everyone shows their version.

Adding your own prompts

Type new ideas under the list, one per line, or delete the ones that do not suit you — the wheel redraws as you type. To practise a weak spot, type that subject more than once: "Your Hand" on three lines out of 32 comes up with a 9.38% chance, and the result reports that real figure instead of one over the number of sectors.

Getting the 30 ideas back

Edits are saved in this browser for this page only, so this wheel and the plain wheel keep separate lists. "Restore all" puts back the ideas that "Remove the winner" took off, and "Restore the preset" replaces any edits with the original 30. Nothing is uploaded: a shared link carries the entries inside the link itself.
