Mobility aids and other accessibility tools that some disabled people rely on are often depicted in artwork and in real life as very medical-looking and basic. (Bland, limited colors, etc.) In celebration of Disability Pride Month, draw an accessibility tool that defeats this stereotype. For example, it could be brightly colored or have a fun pattern. Get creative with it!  (NOTE: Make sure that whatever aid you choose, you do your research to make sure you’re depicting it accurately.)

Here are some examples of different accessibility aids. 

  • wheelchair
  • hearing aid
  • cane
  • prosthetic limb
  • brace
  • eye patch
  • stoma bag
  • cannula
  • face mask
  • injection port

Disability Pride Month Drawing Prompt - Pride Flag

In honor of July being Disability Pride Month, draw something incorporating any of the colors and symbolism of the Disability Pride flag that is in keeping with the overall theme of disability celebration, advocacy, and representation.

[EDIT: Since the Disability Pride flag itself has been known to trigger seizures for those with Epilepsy, I have decided to remove the image of it from this post. However, I’ve left the list of symbols in it and their meanings below. If you want to see the flag for yourself, you can click the “Source” link at the bottom of this post.]

“The black Field: Mourning for those who’ve suffered and died from Ableist violence, and also rebellion.

The Zig-zag Band: How disabled people must move around and past barriers, and our creativity in doing so.

The Five Colors: the variety of Disability and our needs and experiences (Mental illness, intellectual and Developmental Disability, Invisible and Undiagnosed Disabilities, Physical Disability, and Sensory Disabilities)

The Parallel Stripes: Solidarity within the Disability Community, despite our differences”

Draw a charcuterie that represents your oc/muse.

  • What foods are on it? Meats? Cheeses? Something else?

  • Is it fancy and organized or simple and thrown together?

Draw something intentionally imperfect. Here’s some examples:

  • Instead of drawing a perfectly red apple, draw one with bruises or one that’s not quite ripe yet.
  • If you’re drawing a person, purposefully draw their nose off-center from where you normally would.
  • Allow your line work in a landscape to not be completely straight.
