A method of guiding a gesture in an electronic device is provided. The method includes sensing a gesture input via an input tool on a screen; predicting a first proceeding direction of the gesture based on information about the gesture; determining a first guide object corresponding to the predicted first proceeding direction; predicting a second proceeding direction of the gesture based on information about a changed gesture when a proceeding direction of the gesture is changed; and determining a second guide object different from the first guide object and corresponding to the predicted second proceeding direction.
