Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add my own prompts?
Yes! You can paste in lists of characters, objects, or even specific color palettes.
Is there a limit to how many prompts I can have?
You can add hundreds of prompts. We recommend building a master list of things you want to practice.
Can I combine multiple wheels?
You can open two tabs! Use one wheel for the "Subject" (e.g., A dog) and one for the "Style" (e.g., Cyberpunk).
How to Beat Artist's Block
Every artist experiences the dreaded blank page syndrome. You have the motivation to draw, but no idea what to draw. The paradox of choice actually stifles creativity. By using a Drawing Prompt Wheel, you remove the burden of choice entirely. You are forced to react to the prompt, which activates the problem-solving part of your brain.
The "Mashup" Drawing Challenge
If you want to truly push your creativity, try the Mashup Challenge. Open three different tabs of SpinAWheel:
- Wheel 1 (Subject): Animals, occupations, or objects.
- Wheel 2 (Setting): Space, underwater, medieval, etc.
- Wheel 3 (Art Style): Cubism, anime, watercolor, pixel art.
Spin all three and combine them! You might end up drawing "A Samurai Frog in Space drawn in Pixel Art." It’s the ultimate creativity test.
