Some days, the hardest part of drawing isn't actually drawing.

It's deciding what to draw.

You open Procreate, pick your favourite brush, create a new canvas... and somehow end up spending the next fifteen minutes staring at a blank screen or scrolling through Pinterest, hoping inspiration will magically appear.

We've all been there.

Whenever we feel creatively stuck, we don't wait for inspiration anymore—we just start drawing something. More often than not, one simple sketch turns into a completely new idea.

So if you're looking for Procreate drawing ideas, a drawing prompt list, or just a little help getting past art block, we hope this list gives you the spark you need.

Save this page, come back whenever you need a little inspiration, and don't worry about making the perfect illustration. Sometimes the best ideas start with a quick sketch.

A Little Drawing Challenge 💛

Don't overthink it.

Close your eyes, scroll through the list, and stop at a random number.

Whatever idea you land on... that's your next drawing.

Some of our favourite illustrations have started exactly like this.

A Little Tip From Us

One thing we've learned over the years is that inspiration rarely shows up before you start drawing.

It usually appears somewhere in the middle, after you've stopped worrying about creating something perfect.

So if you're feeling stuck, set a timer for ten minutes, pick one idea from this prompt list, and simply start sketching.

You might be surprised where it takes you.
