No streak-shaming, just a daily nudge to make something. Create a free account, and you can turn on a text or email reminder for each day's prompt - or install the lightweight version to your phone if you'd rather tap an icon. Either way, today's prompt is always viewable on our homepage and Instagram story without signing in. It's a loop, not a weekly countdown - here's what that means.
You get a text with the day's prompt. It's usually a little odd on purpose - the goal isn't a "correct" drawing, it's a starting point. Interpret it however you want and take your time.
You have until the end of the following day to submit yesterday's drawing prompt. The submission form linked in your text, or you can find it here.
Day 1's submissions get reviewed and ranked, and one doodle is picked as the winner. It goes up on this site first, then on Instagram a few hours later. Meanwhile Day 3's prompt has already gone out and Day 2's submissions are opening - the cycle never actually pauses.
In practice: on any given day you're usually doing three things at once - drawing today's prompt, having already submitted yesterday's, and waiting to hear whether the one from two days ago won. It sounds like a lot written out, but by text it just feels like one message a day.
This isn't a portfolio piece. It's a habit. Rough, weird, five-minute doodles are welcome - consistency beats polish here.
Keep it simple.
One drawing.
One upload.
One prompt.
Jump back in whenever. Every day is a new prompt and a clean slate. The loop doesn't wait for you, but it doesn't hold a grudge either.
Every account gets a public profile page. Here's what's on it and how to control it.
Your profile lives at doodletwist.com/profile.html?u=yourusername and is linked automatically wherever your name shows up on the site - the archive, this month's submissions, anywhere. Anyone can find it by searching usernames on the profile search page.
From your account settings, add a short bio and pick up to 6 of your own past submissions to feature. Both are optional - your profile works fine with neither set.
Don't want a public profile right now? Deactivate your account from settings and it disappears - visitors see the same "not found" message as an unregistered username. Reactivate whenever you're ready and everything comes back.
Submit today's doodle - the loop starts whenever you're in.
