1 Setup Your Canvas
Look to the right panel – that's your live drawing app. Make sure the Pen is selected. Set your brush size to 3 or 5 (click the gear icon on the right toolbar). Pick a color you love – maybe a rich blue like #3498DB or a warm orange like #E67E22.
The spiral looks beautiful in any color, so feel free to experiment!
2 The "Fluid Motion"
Start in the center of the canvas. Begin drawing a small circle, then gradually move outward in a continuous, flowing motion – like the shell of a snail or a whirlpool.
- Keep your wrist relaxed – tension makes spirals stiff.
- Focus on smooth, even movement – don't rush!
- Try to keep the gaps between each loop roughly the same width.
3 Go the Other Way
Hit Clear on the right toolbar. Now draw a spiral in the opposite direction.
- If you drew clockwise the first time, try counter-clockwise now.
- Notice which direction feels more natural to you.
- Most people find one direction easier – that's normal!
Try this: Draw 3 spirals in your natural direction, then 3 in the opposite direction. This trains your arm to move freely in both directions.
4 🏆 The Challenge
Click "Clear" on the right toolbar. Now set a timer for 60 seconds.
Your mission: Draw as many spirals as you can – but here's the twist – alternate direction after each spiral.
- Clockwise → Counter-clockwise → Clockwise → Counter-clockwise…
- Focus on smooth, continuous motion, not speed.
- Try to make each spiral bigger or smaller than the last.
