Sketch It
SketchBook allows artists to capture the natural feeling of drawing with easy-to-use tools. Using SketchBook, you can access a toolset of over 100 brushes, pens, markers, and pencils that deliver a powerful drawing experience on your mobile device. Customize brushes exactly how you want them – adjust brush radius, opacity, rotation, and more. SketchBook and Sketch This combine to help digital artists grow in a entertaining and challenging way.
Some challenges will be basic, while others could have timers or templates.
Share It
Participating in challenges provides great exposure – not only to the DeviantArt community, but also to a whole new audience of SketchBook users. When you submit your work to DeviantArt from Sketch This, your finished piece will be automatically included in SketchBook under the gallery for the challenge you completed. It also becomes eligible to be featured in special wrap-up journals on DeviantArt, as well as in social posts from SketchBook and DeviantArt.

As DeviantArt enters its 15th year on the Internet, we want to take a moment before blowing out our candles to thank the community for allowing us the honor of hosting the site that you call your home for art. After all, it's the community's 15th birthday, too, and in the past few months, we've been making it our top priority to share with you our plans for the future, celebrate the successes of our past, and look to you for guidance on how best we can serve each of you while entering this new phase of DeviantArt's existence.

The DeviantArt Timeline entries from the past few months have discussed how we’re focusing on user experience for DeviantArt and ways to make the site more intuitive. In this journal, we'd like to kick off a discussion on another big design-related milestone: to improve the profile experience on the site, mobile web, and mobile apps.

Earlier today, Wix.com announced its acquisition of DeviantArt, and I want you to know how incredibly positive this development is for our community, for the platform, and for all artists who haven’t yet become deviants!:origin()/pre00/1c76/th/pre/i/2013/182/1/7/plasma_blossom_by_c_91-d6bbq1f.png)
