The daily drawingchallenge that ships
A new drawing prompt every day. One sketch, no retries, published automatically. Build the daily drawing habit you've been trying to start for years.
Why a daily sketch beats endless practice
One daily prompt
No more staring at a blank canvas wondering what to draw. Open the app, get today's theme, start sketching.
15 minutes is enough
The daily sketch format is built for tight windows. Finished and imperfect beats perfect and unfinished.
Public by default
Every drawing publishes to the community gallery at midnight. Accountability turns intention into habit.
Streaks that matter
Watch your daily drawing streak climb. The longer it gets, the harder it is to break.

How the daily drawing challenge works
1. A new prompt drops at midnight
Open The Midnight Gallery and find today's daily drawing prompt waiting at the top of the app.
2. You have 24 hours to draw
Sketch it on your phone with the in-app canvas. One attempt, no undo, no time spent agonising over the brief.
3. Your daily sketch publishes automatically
When the clock hits midnight, your drawing joins the community gallery — alongside thousands of others doing the same prompt.

What is a daily drawing challenge?+
A daily drawing challenge is a habit-building practice where you draw one sketch per day, usually from a daily prompt. The Midnight Gallery automates this — you get one prompt per day, draw it in the app, and your daily sketch publishes to the community gallery at midnight.
Where do I get daily drawing prompts?+
Download The Midnight Gallery on iOS or Android. A new daily drawing prompt is generated for every user, every day, automatically. You never have to think of a subject.
How long should a daily sketch take?+
Most people in the community finish a daily sketch in 8 to 15 minutes. The app gives you the full day, but the daily drawing challenge works best with a tight 15-minute timer — fast enough to commit, slow enough to think.
Can I do the 30 day drawing challenge inside the app?+
Yes. The app provides a new daily drawing prompt every day, so the 30 day drawing challenge is just your first 30 days. After that, your streak keeps climbing automatically.
Is the daily drawing challenge free?+
Yes. The Midnight Gallery is a free download on the App Store and Google Play. Daily prompts, the public gallery, and streak tracking are all free.
What if I miss a day?+
Your streak resets, but the daily prompts keep coming. Most users miss their first day around day 12 — the trick is restarting the next morning, not aiming for a perfect run.
