Silly Drawing Requests

353 readers
30 users here now

An accepting, humorous, and social community to request and share drawings inspired by this post. No drawing is bad unless it violates the rules.

This community was originally on @lemmy.autism.place before the instance announced that it is being shut down.

How to

  1. Make a post requesting a specific drawing.
  2. Respond to request posts by adding your submission as a comment to the post.
  3. Comment submissions as you please.

Rules

  1. Drawings must somehow match the request.
  2. Do not submit your own drawing in a post. Instead, submit it as a comment to your post.
  3. Follow instance rules (sopuli.xyz sidebar). Summary: Remember the human.
  4. No AI generated drawings.
  5. Try to keep top level comments in request posts as submissions.

Yep. Definitely wasn't expecting that in my cereal! :-)

Seems like I'm not going to get too many takers on this one, so I've gone ahead and posted my own doodle (as a top-level comment) now that you've broken the ice on responses. Thanks!

Unfortunately this community isn't very popular yet but I've been doing my best to post to it and keep the drawing requests semi-frequent.

I have high hopes for this community and I'd love to see it grow.

Thank you for pitching in! I'm also trying to post / add my submissions as often as possible, but life has kinda gotten in the way recently and don't many opportunities to draw and participate right now sadly.

But I do check and absolutely love the submissions and requests in this community!

I also feel like the bar might be too high for people to submit drawings to requests. I guess people are scared to share what they can draw, even though I've tried to make it clear that EVERY submission is golden <3

Thanks for the cheer Kux, I believe so as well and that's why I keep taking the opportunities to promo it :)

We have seen steady growth in subscribed-numbers too!

Thanks for that. I've enjoyed responding to the prompts!

Yeah looks like it sadly :( I know I've been waiting for 12 hours to get an opportunity to draw this - stupid errands get in the way..
