Art prompts

When friends and relatives learn that you like drawing, you inevitably get art presents. This adds up to the irresistible attraction that stationery and arts and crafts shops exert on me and results in a lot of unused art supplies.

I decided I'd make a drawing using a different kind of supply every day in order to put an end to this situation. Of course being a software developer I wrote a randomiser to choose two or more supplies from the list. And of course once you randomise a thing you can randomise more so I added "extras" and subject ideas.

So here's my art prompts generator which will possibly only work for me as you don't have the same supplies as I do. But... the source is here—fork away if you want to finish with your unused art supplies! Or just press the 'Get another prompt' button! Eventually you'll get something you can use.

I'm tracking the progress of my project in my new insta account: @artbysole

The best thing about this project is getting to use supplies I generally don't gravitate to, and which I'm unfamiliar with. Which might result in "accidents", as I do not know how to use them, be it on their own or combined with other potentially weird pairings. So far I have had just one fun accident--when I tried to apply fixative to a pastel and ball pen drawing and the fixative started dissolving the ball pen ink. Fun times!
