ShapeDrawing Challenge ✏️

Machine Ideas and Robot Art

Consider a shape as a machine part, an imagined tool, or an entire character. The suggestion is a separate invention exercise; the robot and cyborg titles below keep their actual tracing, lesson, or grid methods.

Use the theme without prescribing an answer

The independent prompt begins with your own outline. A published reference title supplies a different kind of starting information. Compare ten books for this creative direction.

Keep the next idea open

Shape Drawing Challenge gives artists 16 repeated beginnings, six illustrated examples per shape, and room for 480 independently chosen drawings.

Bring another idea to the art table.

Kevin Coulston sends new book announcements and free drawing, tracing, and coloring activity pages.
