Who are the first creators joining the Creator Community?
We’re thrilled to introduce three incredible artists who are joining the Drawing Desk Creator Community at launch. Each of them brings a completely different style, specialty, and energy to the platform:
Kawaii illustrations, expressive animal characters, delicate floral work, three completely different worlds, one shared home. These are the kinds of creators you’ve been watching on YouTube and Instagram. Now they’re bringing their lessons directly into your drawing app.
"Artists deserve a platform that rewards their talent. Drawing Desk Creator Community is exactly that."
