Everyone has played the game: what would you take with you if you could only bring along one thing? We all have something, something essential or entirely superfluous, something kinky or sentimental, something cerebral or trashy. Out with it. What's your thing?

In this challenge we ask that you draw something you wouldn't leave behind. Wait! Before you get to it, it MUST be something that could fit in a backpack. You're confined only by the size of your item, nothing else. Deadline May 23rd by 4pm EST, go here for complete submission details »



Draw your thing, your take-along, and win this incredible backpack to hold it. Trust me, you'll want to get your hands on this, because the folks at TOM BIHN design and make each product with tremendous craftsmanship, and all within the U.S.

How do you get from A to B and everywhere in between? Showcase #17 challenges you to share your mode of transport -- doodle your ride! Skateboard, segway, scooter, canoe, minivan, sports car, bicycle, whatever! You ride it, you draw it.

Thanks to the folks at Thumbtack Press, and their incredible online store of wall to wall art prints for sponsoring this month's showcase.

Deadline fast approaching (April 25th). Go here for prize and submission details »

In this season of artificial green cellophane and pastel hyperbole comes the kind of challenge you've been waiting for. Leave the bunnies and chicks to the chocolatiers and doodle up some savagely creative eggs. No theme. No constraints. Just you and a carton of (fragile) possibility. You can draw on one eggshell or a dozen, just make sure you only upload one photo.

I'd like to thank the fine folks at DrawTop for sponsoring this ridiculously cool drawing challenge. They make an awesome product by custom cutting adhesive vinyl whiteboards that you can stick practically anywhere, including the backs of electronic devices like laptops and iPads.

Click for prize and participation details. Deadline is Thursday, April 5th, so go on and get to showing off your drawing skills.

Doodle on friends.

It's almost June and that means we're that much closer to summer - the blistering heat, the humid beach breeze, the happy energy that the season brings... It's definitely something to draw about. Many of you have participated in the previous Calendar Draw Challenges. Here's another chance!

Submit a drawing for your chance to be our featured artist for the month of June. Make it good. Most of all, make it hot! (Oh, we love a good pun.)

Submissions are now open. Good luck!

Today is a good day, a really good day. We are beaming with pride and grinning from ear to ear. It’s the first time we have transformed our community’s showcase submissions into something tangible, breathing life into a concept. This is what Doodlers Anonymous is all about!

This past March, we collaborated with the fine folks at Blik. We challenged DA members to draw an original artwork for our studio wall, which would be turned into a wall decal for sale in limited release. The turnout floored us. Our jaws dropped as we received submission after submission, totaling 99 drawn walls!

We are excited to announce that the winning decals have been printed! They are vibrant and amazing and now available for purchase. So, show your fellow members some love, buy a decal and make your walls pretty with art. Your purchase will help support DA’s efforts, community, philosophy, and the doodling arts. A community that doodles together…
