Explore the rise of draw with me videos and digital line art

The line art community on YouTube is demonstrating how digital culture and classic art forms can beautifully and symbiotically coexist. From mesmerizing time-lapses to jaw-dropping "one stroke" challenges—where creators draw an entire portrait without lifting their pen—artists are crafting impactful work with simple outlines and contours.

This welcoming corner of YouTube is especially helpful for beginner artists looking to perfect their shapes before moving on to other techniques. Whether it serves as a foundation for a broader artistic practice or the entirety of an artist's style, the desire to create together is undeniable: In 2025, there were more than 100M views of videos with "draw with me" or "#drawwithme" in the title.*

Don't miss our unique YouTube logo (also known as the Yoodle), launching during The Whitney Biennial, celebrating the incredible talent in the line art community. Ready to push your artistic limits? Pick up a pen and explore the craft with our curated playlist.
