Instant replay! Now you can see how your favorite Questers work their magic on the web too: http://drawquest.com/p/1581ds.

One of the most fun things to do on DrawQuest is to watch your favorite Questers make their drawings stroke by stroke with the app’s replay feature. Now we’ve included replay on the pages that can be shared on Twitter and Facebook. So when you see a really amazing drawing, go ahead and share it so your friends can watch too!

Dear DrawQuesters,

Thank you for all of the awesome feedback you’ve sent our way! We’re hard at work on the next version of the app and can’t wait to get it into your hands.

Some of you have reported that your drawings aren’t immediately showing up in the Gallery. Right now the Gallery only shows the 50 most recent drawings in a given Quest. As the DrawQuest community has grown, drawings are getting bumped off the Gallery faster, especially during peak hours. We’re also aware of a bug where some drawings aren’t making it to the Gallery at all, which is due to some wonkiness with our backend and the way the app handles caching. Even if your drawings are not displayed in the Quest Gallery, you and your followers will still be able to see them via the Activity feed and your Profile Page.

We’re working on a fix and hope to address these issues shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience.

Thanks again for being a part of the DrawQuest community!

—Team DrawQuest

We’re incredibly excited to announce that starting today, DrawQuest is available as a free download on iPad. DrawQuest is a community that brings people together around daily drawing challenges. Go get it here: drawquest.com/download

Why we built DrawQuest

Deep down, we’re all creative people. Unfortunately, as Sir Ken Robinson warns us, society is “educating people out of their creativity.” In school, we’re led to believe that creative pursuits won’t lead to a job, while subjects like math and science will. So as we grow up, we grow out of our creative habits.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We built DrawQuest to bring creative expression back into your daily life.

But I’m not creative!

Creativity isn’t a mystical gift passed on to some people and not others. Creativity is like brushing your teeth — it’s a healthy habit you should make time for every day.

DrawQuest isn’t about “winning” or becoming the next Picasso. DrawQuest is about re-learning to express yourself creatively and sticking with it. Everything about DrawQuest — from our simple drawing tools to the ability to star and play back drawings — was designed to foster a community of budding creators.

This is just the beginning

We’re excited to share this first version of DrawQuest with the world. We hope you’ll join us on DrawQuest, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll make with it!

Happy Questing,
The DrawQuest Team
