Press Kit

Doodraw is a drawing app where every stroke animates the moment you draw it: no timeline, no keyframes, no AI, just a hand-drawn wobble built into the brush. It is free on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, and the #1 App Store search result for "wiggle art" in 8 countries.

Boilerplate

Doodraw is an animated-drawing app made by two French artists, Alexis Chân Gridel and Elodie Mayade. Every brushstroke wiggles live as you draw it, powered by a rendering engine written from scratch in Rust with wgpu, about 20,000 lines of code, with no AI anywhere in the drawing or animation pipeline. Launched on 1 September 2026 and now available on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, Doodraw has passed 100,000 installs in more than 180 countries and ranks #1 in App Store search for "wiggle art" in 8 countries. The app is published by Ecrin Digital, France.
