- Draw three costume thumbnails with different capes, bags, boots, and tools.
- Choose one character and show them before or after a decision.
Variation Pass

- Swap the class, magic source, social status, or signature prop to make the prompt your own.

- The prompt has a visible setting, prop, texture, or relationship.
- The viewer can tell what changed, what matters, or what happens next.

Make The Prompt Your Own
A random drawing prompt works best when you treat it like a starting point, not a final assignment. Change the subject, scale, setting, mood, or point of view until the idea feels like something you would actually enjoy drawing.
For a fast sketch, keep the idea simple and finish the largest shapes first. For a more polished illustration, add a clear light source, a foreground detail, and one visual clue that explains what happened before the moment shown.
