Drawing on DADA
I've been on DADA for almost a month now, and I love it! DADA is a social network where people speak to each other through drawings, so you can see how it would appeal to someone who loves doodling as much as me. I have created 21 digital drawings on there so far, and I'm busy doodling away creating even more as the visual conversations develop between artists. There are already quite a few artists from Steemit drawing away on there, so if you love drawing why not check it out yourself https://dada.nyc.
The image above is one of my recent drawings as part of a visual conversation with other artists under the title of Abstractions. On DADA someone will start an image using DADA's drawing sketchpad, and then another artist will answer that drawing with their own drawing, and so the visual conversation continues.
DADA was envisioned with the goal of creating a vibrant creative community where artists can share their individual visions and connect with each other for the common good.
DADA is much more than a showcase or a social network for artists. It is a space where artists can have visual conversations, play, explore, inspire, get inspiration and, eventually, gain more individual and collective power.
You can start by browsing hundreds of amazing drawings and visual conversations or by making a drawing of your own. The more you draw and participate in the community, the more points you accrue and the more conversations you can participate in.

Drawing tools
It took me a bit of time to get used to using the sketchpad tools on DADA, but after a bit of experimenting it is amazing the effects that you can achieve. There isn't the option to use layers, as in Photoshop, so I had to rewire the way that I think about laying down lines and colour. After a couple of weeks though of using the DADA sketchpad tools I started to prefer them to the more complex drawing programs that I have.
The DADA Art Gallery
The DADA Art Gallery is a distributed application that runs on the Ethereum network, using specially-developed smart contracts (each, a “Smart Contract”) to enable users to own, transfer, and sell drawings which are made by artists who draw on dada.nyc, and which can then be visualized on a website that the user can interact with (the “Gallery”).
