Cute and easy things to draw together

Start here if neither of you thinks you can draw. These work with a few lines and a couple of colours, and they look better a little wobbly.

  1. Two coffee mugs side by side, one for each of you, with your initials on them.
  2. Two cats (or dogs) curled up on one blanket.
  3. A pair of shoes by the door: yours and theirs.
  4. Two sunflowers growing from the same pot.
  5. A tiny house with two lit windows at night.
  6. Two clouds holding hands.
  7. Your favourite snack, drawn as cute characters with faces.
  8. A heart made of two different patterns, one half each.

You draw half, I draw half

Split the paper (or the screen) and each take a part. The fun is in how the two halves meet in the middle.

  1. A face: one draws the left side, the other the right, without looking first.
  2. A made-up creature: one draws the head, the other the body and legs.
  3. A sunset over water: one paints the sky, the other the reflection.
  4. A garden: one plants the flowers, the other adds the bugs and birds.
  5. A city skyline: take turns adding one building each.
  6. A boat on a lake: one does the boat, the other the lake and the weather.
  7. A treehouse: one builds it, the other decorates it.
  8. A pizza: each tops your half with your favourite toppings.

Agree on just one thing before you start, such as the colours or where the horizon goes. Leave the rest as a surprise.

Drawings about the two of you

  1. The place you first met, as best you both remember it.
  2. Your first date, as a comic strip with three panels.
  3. The view from a window you both love.
  4. A map of your neighbourhood with your favourite spots marked.
  5. The trip you took together, or the one you're dreaming of.
  6. Your home, room by room, from above.
  7. The two of you as animals: each draws the other.
  8. A pet you'd love to adopt together, with its name.

Drawings for your boyfriend or girlfriend

Cute things to draw for your partner don't need to be perfect. A small drawing with an inside joke means more than a polished one.

  1. Their favourite food, with a short note under it.
  2. A tiny portrait of them doing the thing they always do.
  3. A ticket to a date you plan to take them on.
  4. A jar full of small hearts, one for each reason you like them.
  5. The two of you as stick figures on your next holiday.
  6. Their pet, drawn as a superhero.
  7. A badge or award: "Best at making tea", "Best hugs".
  8. A drawn calendar page with the day you met circled.

Couple painting ideas for a date night

Painting together makes a calm, easy date at home: no skill needed, and you end up with something to keep. Put on music, pick one idea and give yourselves 30 to 45 minutes.

  1. A night sky full of stars, with two figures looking up.
  2. A field of flowers, each of you painting in your own colours.
  3. A lighthouse by the sea at sunset.
  4. Abstract shapes: one picks the colours, the other the shapes.
  5. Your favourite meal, painted as a still life.
  6. A rainy window with a cosy room behind it.
  7. Matching pictures: one paints day, the other night, then put them side by side.
  8. A mood: one names the mood, the other chooses the colours.

How to draw together, even far apart

Draw Together is a free browser game for couples: you both paint one canvas at the same time, each on your own phone or computer, and see each other's lines as they're drawn.

  1. Choose Online, tap Play a friend and send your partner the link. No account, no app.
  2. Pick a tool: the pen for lines, the see-through marker or the fill bucket for colour, stamps for hearts and stars.
  3. Paint at the same time. Undo only takes back your own lines.
  4. Stuck? Tap Need an idea? and Hops suggests something to draw together.
  5. Tap Save to keep the picture on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.

Tips for drawing as a couple

  • Keep it light. Wobbly lines and odd colours are part of the charm. Nobody is grading this.
  • Set a timer. Ten minutes per drawing stops anyone overthinking it.
  • Swap roles. If one of you always draws the outlines, switch next time.
  • Talk while you draw. Ask what the other is adding and why.
  • Keep a gallery. Save each drawing and look back at them on an anniversary.

Frequently asked questions

What should couples draw together?

Simple, personal things: the place you met, a house you'd like to share, your pets, a sunset where one paints the sky and the other the water, or each of you as an animal. Ideas with two parts work best.

What is a cute thing to draw for my boyfriend or girlfriend?

Their favourite food with a note, a small portrait of them doing their usual thing, a drawn ticket to a date, or a jar of hearts with a reason in each one. An inside joke beats a perfect drawing.

Can we draw together online?

Yes. Draw Together lets two people paint the same canvas live from two devices. Send your partner the link and you see each other's lines as they appear. It's free, with no sign-up.

Is drawing a good date idea?

Yes. It's cheap, calm and works at home or apart, and you keep the picture afterwards. Pick one idea, put on music and give it 30 to 45 minutes.

Do we need to be good at drawing?

No. Easy ideas like two mugs, two clouds or a tiny house need only a few lines. Fill a shape in one tap and add a few stamps, and even simple drawings look finished.
