I'm Auni — a kawaii artist and illustrator in Los Angeles. I run free art contests that are open worldwide, and I built AuniDraw, the app you draw them in: it records how a drawing is made, so a traced or AI-generated image can never take a real artist's place.
There are plenty of places to post art. Here the difference is that every piece carries proof of how it was made.
AuniDraw records how a drawing is made while you make it. The site replays that record against the picture you send — so traced and AI-generated images simply cannot get in, and your work is never mistaken for one.
Brushes, layers and an automatic timelapse of everything you draw. No subscription, no watermark, on iPhone, iPad and Android — it's the app I use for my own work.
I read every entry myself and pick the winner of the season — idea and character count as much as technique, so beginners have a real chance.
The Aunidoll art contest is free and open worldwide. Draw your piece in the AuniDraw app, publish it in one tap, and the best work of the season gets featured right here on the homepage.
Every entry is checked against the record of how it was drawn — so the contest stays a contest between artists.
Original illustrations, character art and digital paintings.
Sketches, process notes and the stories behind the drawings.
Free, open worldwide, judged by me. Draw it in AuniDraw and enter.
My drawing app for iPhone, iPad and Android — brushes, layers, timelapse.
Artwork by other people, each one verified as drawn in AuniDraw.
Kitty Girlfriend, Auni's Kitchen and a free browser dress-up game.
Speedpaints and timelapses of the drawings coming together.
Prints and handmade kawaii things from the same world.
Everything people usually ask before they download the app or enter the contest.
Auni is a kawaii artist and illustrator based in Los Angeles, California. She draws original characters, fan art and the worlds they live in, writes about how each piece is made, and builds AuniDraw — the drawing app she uses herself.
Yes. AuniDraw is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with no subscription and no watermark. It has brushes, layers and records a timelapse of everything you draw.
Draw your piece in AuniDraw, then tap "Publish to aunidoll.com" in the app menu and sign in. Your artwork goes to the community gallery after a quick review and takes part in the season. Entry is free and open worldwide.
No. The gallery accepts only artwork drawn in AuniDraw, because the app records how the drawing was made and the site checks that record against the picture you send. That check is what keeps the contest fair — a traced or AI-generated image cannot pass it.
No. Judging looks at the idea and the character of a piece as much as the technique, and beginners are welcome. Every verified entry keeps its own page with its timelapse, whether it wins or not.
Nothing. The app is free, the contest has no entry fee, and voting and commenting only need a free account.
You do. Publishing only lets Aunidoll show your artwork on the site and its social accounts with your name on it. You keep every other right to your work.
New pieces, speedpaints and contest announcements go out here first.
