Speed Sketch Drawing Prompts
Build decisiveness with timed rounds. In 2 minutes capture the envelope and big angle; in 5 minutes group masses into two values; in 10 minutes clarify gesture flow and punch one focal edge. End the pose on time—momentum beats perfection. Treat line weight like time: thick for structure, thin for detail, and avoid mid-weight everywhere.
Cycle tempos (2/5/10) on the same prompt to feel which decisions survive. Save one final minute for a single value pass to group forms. If a drawing collapses, stop, reset the envelope, and try again; repetition builds speed faster than rescue attempts.
To turn the speed into clean reductions, translate your results with Minimalist Drawing Prompts. If you prefer to race with ink, run the same drills using Inktober / Ink-Themed Drawing Prompts.
