What is a shape drawing challenge?
You start with one odd outline and turn it into anything you like: an animal, a monster, a robot, a snack with a face. There is no right answer.
How do I play?
Pick one of the five shapes, choose a color and pen size, and draw on top. Use Fill to color big areas, then save a PNG or print it.
Is it free? Do I sign up?
It is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Your drawing stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
Does it work on a tablet or phone?
Yes. Draw with a finger, a stylus or a mouse. On a phone, turn it sideways for a bigger canvas.
Can I use it in class?
Yes. Put it on the projector as a 10 minute warm-up, or print a shape for every desk and compare what everyone made.
Where do the shapes come from?
They are five of the 16 starting shapes in Kevin Coulston’s book Shape Drawing Challenge, which has room for 480 more drawings.
