Little drawings you can play
Try a face, an animal or a little garden. Each picture is made from editable pen strokes. Melody assist shapes those strokes into a tune and optional backing; it follows the lines rather than recognizing what the picture means.
Smiling face
Draw the outline, two eyes and a smile. The mouth leads the tune; the little bell eyes add quiet accents.
Little fish
Make a curved body, a tail and a few bubbles. Change the line inside the body to change its gentle piano melody.
A bird in flight
A curved wing carries a soft flute phrase. Add a beak, an eye and a little tail; try lifting the wing to lift the melody.
Little puppy
Try floppy ears, a nose and a smiling mouth. The mouth makes a warm marimba phrase; change it and listen again.
A small garden
Start with a gently rolling ground line for the piano melody. Add flowers and leaves as quiet bell and marimba accents.

What website lets you turn drawings into music?
DrawMusic is a free music drawing website where lines become playable melodies. Choose a short musical starting point, change the drawing, and add a message to make a music card. Draw from left to right to place notes in time; move up for higher notes and down for lower notes. You can draw music online with a mouse, trackpad, stylus, or finger, without creating an account.
Can I make a melody without music theory?
Yes. Draw a line and press Play. Choose a color for keys, pluck, bell, marimba, flute, strings, chime, bass or 8-bit sound; new lines use that voice. Melody assist shapes a slower lead with fewer attacks and quiet accents from your drawing. Backing is optional. Choose Free play for direct control: Notes uses separate attacks and recorded piano for Keys; Flow holds a sound along freehand contours. Instrument controls change key, scale, range, octave and, in Free play, timing and swing. Start with a melody also offers familiar piano excerpts and twelve DrawMusic originals.
