I've noticed that I enjoy fleshing out my stories as I draw, so here are some:
Story/Character Building Art Prompts
- A childhood memory (Optional: Include a pet, warm colors, or your character's room growing up.)
- Noir time! (Optional: What's your character's cruel underbelly? What are they most ashamed of? Go all out with sharp lines, and heavy contrast.)
- Sea, stars, or sky? Why? (Optional: Cool colors and surrealism would look lovely on this one.)
- Species/Gender/Theme/Outfit Swap! (Optional: What makes your character who they are? What can you remove with them still being recognizable? What's their core?)
- A dream (Optional: Surrealism, streaky lines, and perhaps repressed guilt?)
- How does your character see the world?
- What happens when your character dies? (Optional: What happens to their body? What's on their tombstone? How does everyone react?)
- Skeletal system or anatomy! Do they have any weird traits, or genetic conditions? How does it affect them?
- Someone just threw a banana over your character's head. How do they react? (Optional: Push that expression as much as possible! Make it silly!)
- What occupies your character's mind? (Optional: Draw one of those cross sections of their head with different things labeled.)
- Tragedy strikes! What happens? (Optional: Use muted colors, have fun with blood!)
- Your characters main outfit(s) are in the wash! What's some clothing items they own, but rarely wear? (Optional: Draw them in something way too tight, or way too loose.)
- A close up of your character's eyes, or of am object they cherish. (Optional: Add lots of shine, and vibrant colors!)
- Make a cardboard figure of your character, maybe pose them around your room? ( Optional: What would they do first if they found themselves suddenly very small and in your house?)
- Draw how a song that reminds you of your character or story feels. (Optional: Choose a color that fits the song's tone, but use as many shades of that color as you'd like!)
- RUN! (Optional: Attempt some fluid poses! What is your character scared of? What would they run from, and are they happy about it?)
- Draw some minor characters! Does anyone not get as much love or attention compared to the others? (Optional: Draw them as cool/badass possible, or draw their 'moment'.)
- Draw your character's coolest moment. Is it a triumph? A gory display? Sort of pathetic actually?
- Make a tarot card for your character. What would they represent? (Optional: What would they be the god/ruler/saint of?)
Feel free to use these in any way you'd like, but please tag me in anything you make using them (I'd love to see)!

OC Prompts!
Write about or draw your oc:
Doing a chore
Enjoying their favorite downtime activity
Eating their standard lunch
Meeting a stranger
Doing something boring
Hanging out with a friend
Learning something
In a fight/argument
Failing at something
Doing whatever they’re really good at
Doing something they’ve dreamed of
Something they regret doing
Exercising
Joking around
At a fancy event
On not enough sleep
In weather they’re not used
An important childhood memory
Going shopping
Scared

Drawing exercise done on Ibis Paint on my phone 📲
Wanted to test myself and see if I can draw/render with the tools on IbisPaint the same way I do on Procreate for iOS.
And I'm quite proud of the results!
I might start drawing more on my phone when I don't have my tablet around!

dreamcore oc!
I recently joined an app called Artfol and I saw a challenge about drawing a dreamcore oc from picrew so I did it! The whole drawing took me about seven hours but I’m so incredibly proud of it!
I’ll be posting the speedpaint to Instagram and TikTok so if you’re interested my @ is onefallingbagel and OneSmallBagel!
