Funny Things To Draw Guide
Use A Mismatch
Funny drawing prompts usually work because two ideas do not belong together. Put a serious character in a ridiculous problem, or make an object behave like a person.
- Give an object a job.
- Give an animal a human problem.
- Give a serious scene one silly prop.
Make The Joke Visible
A funny prompt needs a clear visual joke. Push the pose, expression, scale, or prop so the idea reads fast.
- Exaggerate facial expression.
- Show the problem, not just the subject.
- Use labels only when they make the joke clearer.
Example Prompts
Use these as written, or treat them as quick starters and swap the subject, setting, or mood.
- Draw a banana giving a serious speech.
- Draw a robot trying to sneeze.
- Draw a haunted sock looking for its match.
- Draw a fish taking a driving test.
- Draw a wizard stuck in a revolving door.
- Draw a pizza slice going on vacation.
- Draw a dinosaur trying to use chopsticks.
- Draw a superhero whose power is folding laundry.
- Draw a cactus at a pool party.
