Find your art community: share your drawings with people who get it

Sharing your art online can feel risky. Put your work on a major social platform and you're competing with millions of posts for a few seconds of attention — and leaving yourself open to comments from strangers who have no interest in being kind.

Sketch a Day is built around a completely different idea: a dedicated art community where the entire culture is oriented toward encouragement, growth, and genuine connection between artists.

What makes an art community actually work?

The best creative communities have a few things in common: shared purpose, real interaction, and safety. Sketch a Day has all three.

Shared purpose — Everyone in the Sketch a Day community is there to draw, improve, and encourage others. That shared focus creates a much more cohesive, supportive environment than general social platforms where art is just one of a thousand content types competing for attention.

Real interaction — Comments on Sketch a Day tend to be thoughtful. Because the community is built around a specific creative practice, feedback is usually genuine — people actually look at your work and respond to it. Many users describe forming real artistic friendships through the app.

Safety — This one matters a lot, especially for younger artists and beginners. Sketch a Day has strong moderation. Negative or abusive content doesn't last long.

I've never encountered any rude comments here, and the only nasty comment I've ever seen disappeared and the account was suspended within minutes — they have a great moderation system.

A community spanning every skill level

One of the most unusual things about Sketch a Day is how well it mixes beginners and experienced artists. On most platforms, beginners feel invisible or intimidated. Here, because everyone is responding to the same daily prompt, you're all in it together — regardless of how polished your work is.

❝

There's a community of people filled with everyone from beginners to pros!

❝

Your age doesn't matter at all. You can publish your pieces without any trouble. It's easy and compatible for everyone.

Experienced artists mentor newer ones. Beginners discover that their fresh perspective inspires pros. The result is a community that feels genuinely mutual rather than hierarchical.

What sharing your art on Sketch a Day looks like

Every day, you respond to the daily prompt and can share your sketch with the community. Other artists can comment, leave encouragement, and follow your profile to see future work. You can favorite other artists' posts, follow creators whose style inspires you, and build a feed of artwork you love.

Your own profile becomes a growing gallery — every sketch you've shared, organized chronologically. Scroll back through it and watch yourself improve over weeks and months. It's one of the most motivating things you can do as an artist.

You can also share standout pieces directly to other social platforms when you want a wider audience.

Why artists say it's changed more than their art

It's not just skills that grow in a supportive creative community. Artists regularly tell us that Sketch a Day has improved their mental health, brought mindfulness into their routine, and rebuilt creative confidence that had eroded over years.

When drawing becomes a daily social ritual instead of a solitary chore, the relationship with the practice changes entirely.

I really enjoy the comments feature because when someone leaves a nice comment on your drawing, you feel good. And when you leave a nice comment on someone else's drawing, it makes you feel good because you know you're making that person feel good.
