About DoInk

What is it?

DoInk is a place to enjoy art and animation, and make your own. Have a great idea, but can’t draw? No problem. Are you an amazing artist, and want to share your talent with the world? You can do both? There’s an audience here for you! So if you want to be entertained, learn something new, or create something fun, do it on DoInk.

How does it work?

DoInk brings two things to the table: a community of talented people, and all the tools they need to share their ideas. Once, you’ve signed up you can begin animating, drawing, and sharing. And to speed things up, you can re-use the work of thousands of other users.

Why?

People are talented in different ways: Some are story tellers, some critics, some artists, and some are educators. We believe that animation is a great medium, and Doink want everyone to have access to it!
