Frequently asked

Inspicacity is a site for people who want to make things. It offers creative prompts, drawing challenges, AI art challenges and design contests that give you a reason to sit down and start.

Hobbyists, students and working designers. If you like making things and want a regular push to try something new, it is for you. No portfolio or experience needed.

A prompt is an open starting point: a word or an idea, any medium. A challenge adds a rule, such as a time limit, a single colour or one continuous line. A design contest goes further and gives you a short brief to work to.

No. You can read the site and pull prompts from the prompt jar without one. An account gives you a profile with a username and a studio title of your choice.

In AI art challenges, yes: that is the point. For other prompts and challenges, use whatever helps you make the thing. Being open about your process is always welcome.

Whatever you already have. A pencil and the back of an envelope is enough for most prompts. Design contests are easier with layout software, and AI art challenges need an image tool of your choice.
