Sketch Challenge Prompt Cards

Use without printing: View the downloaded cards on your phone, tablet or computer. Choose a prompt by page or card number and read it aloud, or work through one prompt at a time. Keep any answers or next steps in your notes app; there is no need to print or cut out the cards.

Start a sketch session with 16 original drawing prompts, each with a second variation and a focus such as observation, composition, texture, perspective, or visual storytelling.

This digital download contains one four-page printable PDF, with four single-sided cut-apart cards on each U.S. Letter page. Each finished card measures 3.5 x 4.5 inches when printed at Actual Size / 100%. Cut on the dashed lines. Do not use Fit to Page; check the first printed card with a ruler before cutting the rest.

Choose a card and draw on separate paper. The prompts include a pocket museum, a doorway with a story, an imaginary tool, and a four-frame paper-boat journey. The product image shows the actual first page.
