  • or you can also press the “Generate All Prompts At The Same Time” to see all art prompts show up simultaneously.
    (I prefer doing them individually; I find it more exciting!)

  • Environmental Animation Ideas: nature landscapes, places, animals, and events, like forest fires.
  • Situations and Stories Animation Ideas: human or animal interactions with the world, like a dog chasing its tail.
  • Fantasy – Sci-Fi Animation Ideas: fantasy worlds, objects and entities, like a futuristic soldier. (but what action you animate them in is up to you!)

Why Animation Art Prompt Generator?

As an artist myself, I know that sometimes art creation can be as easy as breathing! While as other times, starting at a blank piece of paper and not being able to start sketching right away sucks.

Creativity is a fickle thing, but if you have the persistence to continue drawing and creating art even if you don’t feel like it – success will follow. Art prompts sometimes make it easier.

I created this list of animation ideas as an idea generator because I didn’t find enough variety in the tools that are out there. Sure, there are some great apps and websites, but some are paid, and most don’t include all of the categories that I wanted for myself.

Art is personal.

Some of you might find that I didn’t include enough categories either, or maybe you have no interest in some of the prompts, and that’s OK.

Hopefully, some of these art prompt categories will be just what you need, and you will be filled with inspiration to keep going and create another incredible animation.

Even if this helps one artist, I will be incredibly happy. Thank you for using my animation prompts generator!
