How Do I Use the Character Prompt Generator?
It’s very easy to use the app:
- Select one of four categories – Characters, Animals, Objects, Situations
- Click on “Generate Your Prompt”
- Read your prompt in the space below the button
- Sketch, draw, paint, sculpt … and enjoy!
I like to read the prompt and just sit with it for a few moments until an idea forms in my head.
Some people might use the character generators differently.
For instance, if they get a prompt with a certain animal, they may immediately begin to draw it.
Others may get their prompt and then just take a long walk, and some may read the prompt, get a coffee or tea and something to snack on, and wait without pressure or expectation in a cozy place.
Ok, I use this method, too, especially the coffee part! 🙂 The “without pressure or expectation” part is sooo important.
Whatever your method, it is good to allow sparks to spark and flow to resume flowing without pushing it or pondering over it.
Try the Character Prompts for Art Challenges
Many artists and art students use my idea generator as an art challenge.
Art challenges are huge these days, and it can be enormous fun to do a challenge where you go to this page every morning, generate a prompt, and create a character design or a story based on it.
You can do this to learn, improve and grow, challenge yourself, and expand your character design skills.
Don’t forget to share your daily creations through various social media platforms, so your art gets discovered by other people.
