This website turns my scribbles into artful drawings

Have you ever been asked to draw something that you’re trying to describe to someone but when you do your picture turns out to look nothing like what you wanted to show them. Don’t worry, I sympathize. In fact, it happened to me all the time until I found this cool website called autodraw.com.

This website analyzes your rough, uninspired drawings and makes suggestions for images based off of them. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of trying to sketch out something you’re unfamiliar with. Plus, it’s just plain fun to use — you can even color the drawings and when you’re finished save and download them as .png files.

What to do:

• Go to http://autodraw.com.
• Start drawing what you want to draw to the best of your ability.
• The website’s suggestions will appear along the top of the draw space.
• Choose the image that best matches what you want to draw and make any edits to the suggested drawing.
• When you’ve finished click on the three horizontal stripes top left and select Download.
