DrawQuest, a social drawing app from 4chan founder Chris Poole (aka moot), is now available for download on the iPhone. First released in February of this year, the app was originally available only on the iPad.
We're pleased to announce that DrawQuest is now available for iPhone and iPod touch devices running iOS 7. We couldn't be more excited about expanding the DrawQuest community to mobile devices. Drawing, browsing, and everything else has been reimagined for mobile, so be sure to check it out!
Each day, DrawQuest users are given a new drawing prompt to complete. Daily prompts each begin with a partially filled in drawing and a creative question or suggestion, such as "What did the diver's find?" or "Carve a Jack-O'-Lantern."

Users are given a variety of tools to work with, including a paint brush, a marker, a pencil, an eraser, and a multitude of colors. Additional colors are unlocked in the app through in-app purchase or points earned through completing drawings.

Finished prompts are added to a community-wide gallery, where users can view the work of other artists, watch playbacks, share an image on a social network, and star favorite pieces.

Alongside iPhone support, DrawQuest's newest update brings a zoomable canvas, which is a useful feature for iPhone owners who need to zoom in to add detail to drawings.

Following the update, users are able to create and share their own drawing challenges that can be shared with friends and family. The app has also been given a revised look for iOS 7 and it includes a new Paint Can fill feature.

DrawQuest is a free universal app that can be downloaded from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Thanks for a hearty laugh. You wouldn't believe how long we agonized over those four tab colors.

...did the creator of 4chan just quote me on a forum? I feel like I should feel either starstruck or dirty but, truthfully, I'm just hungry.
 
It's a nice app, Moot. Now when are you releasing an official 4chan app?

Apple removed every 4chan related app from the App Store ages ago, no chance of it happening. One of the reasons he introduced a mobile site I guess.

What's annoying is that the apps always had to have NSFW boards added manually to get through Apple's App Store verification. Then they decided this wasn't good enough for 4chan based apps and banned them entirely.

Reddit apps that function in the exact same way get a free pass though.

What did the diver's find? Is that the app creators spelling it that way, or one of the users? 4chan indeed! :p

That one looks user submitted to me, unless one of the developers also goes by the name Bella_Cullen. :D
 
Looks like that makes 2 big websites releasing drawing apps. Last week it was BrokenPictureTelephone and this week 4Chan... must be a new trend.
 
the girl on the right has an unfortunate name - AnnaL. :D
>a mere coincidence

I'll try this app. After all, it is forged by the mighty moot and his loyal companions.
Seriously, I stand amazed by 4chan.org's mobile version. Especially how it just switching between vertical to horizintal mode switches between mobile and regular mode.
