Draw My Life

Draw My Life is a type of Internet video in which the author narrates their life history, set to a fast-motion video of the author drawing illustrations on a whiteboard of key figures and events in their life.[1] Often, the videos reveal previously hidden upsetting or unfortunate histories or stories, and end in the author thanking their audience for aiding in their success.

The videos began by the YouTuber and musician, Bry.

Following the video, several other popular YouTube celebrities began uploading Draw My Life videos,[2] some of which were featured on popular online news publications.[3][1]

Eventually, Draw My Life videos for fictional characters and non-YouTubers such as Harry Potter and Avatar Korra were created.[4][5]

In December 2013 a Draw My Life video making iPad app was released on the App Store called Draw My Life App.[6]

In August 2016 a sequel to Draw My Life App was released on the App Store called Draw My Life App 2. The developers claim that this version contains many improvements over the original app. One improvement being smoother drawing while recording. [7]
