How it works

No account needed, no streak-shaming. Just a text message that shows up every single day and asks you to make something - or install the lightweight version to your phone if you'd rather tap an icon. It's a loop, not a weekly countdown - here's what that means.

Day 1

The prompt goes out

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.

Day 2

Submitting is optional

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 3

A winner is chosen and the loop keeps going

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.

Good to know

You don't need to be "good"

This isn't a portfolio piece. It's a habit. Rough, weird, five-minute doodles are welcome - consistency beats polish here.

One submission per prompt

Keep it simple.
One drawing.
One upload.
One prompt.

Missed a day? No penalty.

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.
