YOUDRAW IS ONE OF THE LARGEST COLLECTIONS OF DIGITAL ART ON THE PLANET

It is made up of hundreds of thousands of individual drawings, created by internet users over more than two decades.

This ever-growing collection is a mesmerising record of online creativity and culture.

EVERY DRAWING HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE SAME SIMPLE TOOL SINCE 1999

The canvas is 125 pixels wide and 250 pixels high, in black and white. There are two pen sizes, two eraser sizes and no undo.

That’s it.

YOUDRAW IS ALSO A BOOK COLLECTION

The collection currently fills nine volumes, with 50,000 drawings presented chronologically in each. The first nine volumes will be available by the end of 2026, with new volumes created as more drawings are contributed to the collection.
