Hallo Thanks for setting up the forum I'm blearily reading posts on an iPhone at mo but look forward to spending a while reading people's posts later on a bigger screen. I'm Paul, a Next Gen graphics teacher in the UK at a largish College in the South. Massively addicted to tablet art and having loads of fun with DrawQuest some awesome pics on there, hoping to integrate it into my teaching next year, somehow

Hello there,
Although I am a fairly shy and timid creature, I suppose it is expected of me to make an appearance here instead of just lurking in the treetops. I am not overtly fond of social media and web-based discussion forums as I spend far too much time on the computer even without them. I even created the DrawQuest account originally as a joke, seeing how long it would keep me entertained. I never expected people to actually like my rushed and silly little drawings that vaguely resembled a rather ridiculous looking animal.
I'm not really an artist by far, although I have been interested in arts all my life and have various creative hobbies that involve pens and brushes. Like many other people here, I am intrigued by the possibilities provided by digital painting on the iPad and had invested in several different styluses even before DrawQuest existed. And, like many other people, I found out that the social aspects of DrawQuest far make up for its lack of almost any of the digital painting tools that I consider essential for any serious creative work. Perhaps it's sometimes good to be forced out of perfectionism by having to use limited tools.
I have really enjoyed the shenanigans that have emerged from the shout-outs and the twitter threads that I have shamelessly spied upon via the web interface. Although I have also felt that it has maybe started to be a bit too much, too. I can't keep up with all of them, let alone thank for all of them properly. So, I'll take this as an opportunity as well. Thank you for all the stars, the follows, and the shout-outs. Every artist I follow on DrawQuest I consider to be my better, and if I don't follow you, chances are it's simply because I haven't really found you yet, or that I regrettably feel like I don't have enough time to give you as much devotion as you deserve.

Hello to all the folks who have just joined us! I have only been on Drawquest since March 2013 so I am relatively new to the community and completely new to drawing on a computer! I haven't seen a lot of the artwork of many of the people here . Slothdude, I don't think I've seen your work. Just recently found Mimi's work and some other folks who seem to enjoy some fame or notoriety here! jen

Hi everyone, this is afriend99. I'm so glad to see everyone using this forum. Great job K3lli!! Thank you!
Also to mention, I haven't drawn anything in a long long time and thanks to the people who created DQ. I enjoy drawing, learning from the best artist in DQ and sharing to everyone.

Is it just me or is DQ getting very slow? Today, I have had all kinds of problems. I have had so much fun seeing the talent and getting the hints from those of you that know what you are doing, unlike myself. I hope it straightens out soon.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to pass along a hearty "Thank you!" from all of us here at Team DrawQuest. We're truly inspired every day by what you all do with the app, and couldn't be more proud of the DQ community. I'll be lurking about this forum, but if you ever need to be in touch, please feel free to send me an e-mail at chris@drawquest.com. I love hearing from new people, so don't be shy -- it sure beats my normal work e-mail Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Best, Chris Poole Founder, DrawQuest

Question...does anyone know what happens to our drawings when they "fall off" our profile page? Are they gone forever or will DQ save them and eventually improve the profile display capabilities? Some of my drawings are gone and I would be sad if they are gone forever.

I have heard that we will have access to old work after next update. Hope this is true.
