Have you ever wondered what Legendary Cheeses might look like? How about the Raddest Dads? Robots Built by Cavemen? The World's Sexiest Drawing? Dark Souls bosses drawn by people who've never heard of them? Have you ever wished someone would illustrate your favorite pop, emo, or Taylor Swift lyrics? Then boy have we got the thing for you!Originating as a miniseries for CollegeHumor called Morning Drawfee, and eventually taking on a life of its own as The Drawfee Channel, Drawfee is a YouTube show wherein a number of artists and illustrators get together to create original drawings based on suggestions from the audience. Although the artists do get the general topic for each video in advance, they always start from scratch, and the viewer gets to follow their work as it slowly develops over the course of the episode. There are also special "challenge" episodes, where one host assigns themed prompts to the others, and they have to improvise.As the drawing progresses, the hosts comment on their own and each others' work, discuss the topic itself, or just go on wild and completely unrelated tangents. The episodes usually only show the artists making the black and white sketches, with the fully colored versions being edited in at the end.The founding fathers of the show are Nathan Yaffe and Caldwell Tanner of CollegeHumor, who were later joined by Jacob Andrews from For Lack Of A Better Comic, Julia LePetit from Dorkly, and Karina "Dilfosaur" Farek. Frequently recurring guests are Dorkly's Willie Muse, Jake Young, and Tristan "The Lore Librarian" Cooper.On January 8th, 2020, IAC, the parent company of Drawfee, Dorkly, and CollegeHumor, laid off most of their personnel, which included all of the cast and crew of Drawfee. The channel's future remained uncertain, as IAC still technically owned the Drawfee brand. Thankfully, the team announced on July 2nd that they had gotten back the rights to Drawfee, and were coming back stronger than ever as fully independent content creators.Now with a character page for the hosts.Drawfee Series:There are several recurring series on the Drawfee Channel, some of the most prominent being: Drawfee Challenges: Also known as Morning Drawfee. Consists of various challenges based on viewer suggestions, including Artists Draw from Memory, Knock Off, Drawfee Roulette and ___ They've Never Seen. Generally focused on making Entertainingly Wrong Fan Art. Drawfee Beans: Similar to the Drawfee Challenges, but more frequently released, less elaborate and recorded live. In the transition period after the CollegeHumor shutdown, Beans stood for the majority of the channel's content. After the channel became independent Beans was officially retired, though the format is still used for the occasional one-off holiday episode. Drawga: A role-playing series created by Caldwell Tanner and Nathan Yaffe, where the plot is determined by a combination of Tabletop RPG mechanics and audience interaction. It also spawned a spinoff comic — Ladies Book Club — about the (somewhat misleadingly named) Adventure Guild and its' members, who serve as the protagonists from the second season onwards. Has its own page under construction here. Drawtectives: Another Urban Fantasy RPG series, created by Julia LePetit. The plot involves a team of rookie detective Ragtag Bunch of Misfits trying to solve a murder, using their investigative skills and... drawing abilities? Has its own page under construction here. Cartoon Hell: An Animated Adaptation starring (the Adam Westing) Nathan Yaffe and Caldwell Tanner as themselves in Hell, where they are forced to create pitches for local animated shows. Features an Expository Theme Tune by "Weird Al" Yankovic. As the series was produced for CollegeHumor's streaming platform Dropout, it's unknown whether it will continue without their involvement or if it's simply been cancelled. Drawfee Variety Hour: A live-action series featuring the Drawfee artists on an actual set, making art in mediums other than digital with many In-Universe SelfImposedChallenges. However, the CollegeHumor layoffs and the Covid-19 pandemic meant that using the studio space, much less filming with a full camera crew, is out of the question for the foreseeable future. Bad JRPG: The Legends of Krys: An Affectionate Parody of EasternRPGs. Nathan Yaffe and Jacob Andrews set out to pitch the worst Japanese role-playing game of all time. Originally a Morning Drawfee segment, later expanded into a full series. Has its own page under construction here. The Fear of Painting: Julia LePetit truly embraces her Fan Nickname as the Mother of Monsters in this Live-Action tutorial of how to create Cursed Paintings in a Affectionate Parody of Bob Ross. Possibly completed.Associated with Drawfee, but not belonging to the Youtube channel proper are: Drawfee Streams: The gang draw upon suggestions from the chat on Twitch. It sometimes features guest artists. Secret Sleepover Society: Jacob and Julia play games for a Twitch audience. Sometimes features other Drawfee hosts.The YouTube channel is available here.The Twitch channel is available here.The Secret Sleepover Society channel is available hereThe stream VODs are now available in the Drawfee Extra YouTube channel. | |

| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: More often than not, the person who’s drawing will end up drawing something that doesn’t make any sense in any way possible, while the others try to come up with reasons the drawing is the way that it is. The person drawing will usually go, �Oh, yeah, sure.� | |

Darker and Edgier: Parodied in the Drawing Edgy Original Characters (Do Not Steal) and Arts Against Humanity episodes, among others. The latter in particular consists of almost nothing but the hosts making fun of teenage edgelords. Drawing Disney characters as Dark Souls bosses, obviously. Artists turn Cute Drawings into Nightmares also counts. | |

The Voice: Most episodes only ever show the Photoshop canvas the hosts are drawing on; however, this trope has been Averted in Drawga and the Drawfee Variety Hour (which was shot on a proper studio set) as well as some other special episodes and live recordings, proving once and for all that there are actual human beings behind the microphones. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The original YouTube series started out as Nathan and Caldwell recording their warm-up sketches at the beginning of their workday at CollegeHumor, hence the title Morning Drawfee (a pun on "morning coffee") and why coffee mugs are used both as their logo and as a Couch Gag. Over the years, the "morning" was dropped, and the series developed into a full-fledged show, to the extent that the hosts now do warm-up sketches for Drawfee recordings. The artifact was taken a step further in the 2020 Draw Something Dumb: The Drawfee Drawfalong Activity Book, wherein they consistently use "drawfing" as a verb meaning "to draw something dumb". | |

Strange Minds Think Alike: Occasionally, one of the hosts will set up an obscure/obtuse joke for themselves, and another one will spike it out of the blue. In the Bloodborne Boss Challenge episode: In the Lord of the Rings Character Challenge episode: In Pokemon Type Swap Challenge Julia, upon hearing the name of the pokemon Togedemaru, mumbles half a joke that she "really liked that movie, but [she] found the sci-fi a little confusing," and when the others are confused makes a "tuh" sound then stops entirely. Somehow Jacob was able to immediately guess that she was making an oblique Edge of Tomorrow reference. | |

Ascended Meme | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: Julia's habit of drawing a room full of vampires (see Running Gag below) was eventually made into an episode of its own. One of the beans episodes was Drawing Months As People. After about half of the comments on that video were people saying they'd misread the title as Drawing Moths As People, the hosts decided to make an episode about that. The commenters, of course, took the opportunity to misread the title once again, and so we got a third episode, Drawing Mouths As People. | |

Crowd Chant | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_3b982a5a | comment |
Crowd Chant: Bit of an exaggeration, considering there's usually three or four people in the room at any given recording, but sometimes the hosts will invoke the trope. In Artists Draw Lovecraftian Horrors, Julia adds a second mouth to her rendition of an Elder Thing fairly late. Caldwell turns to an imaginary stadium crowd and says "What do the fans want? They want one! More! Mouth!" In Artists Draw Zelda Bosses, after Karina adds a disturbing row of pointy teeth to her Demon Train, Tristan and Jacob break into an improvised chant of "Hey! Hey! Don't do that! Hey! Hey! Stop right now!" In Artists Draw Horses Based on Their Crazy Names, everyone begins to chant "Is the burger, like the burger" in support of Burgoo King. | |

Revolving Door Casting: The cast varies from episode to episode, and over the years new artists have come (like Karina) and gone, or at least started Commuting on a Bus (like Caldwell.) Eventually, due to CollegeHumor folding, the cast settled on Nathan, Jacob, Karina and Julia. The common format involves either Nathan or Jacob hosting/calling the prompts, while the other three cast members draw. | |

Butt-Monkey: Almost on a Once per Episode basis, one of the hosts will slip up or say something random, and the others will immediately gang up and razz them for the rest of the episode. Such flubs can even go on to become a recurring joke, such as Julia's remark of "Can you believe to learn?" which now has a Patreon tier named after it. In the Drawfee Variety Hour, their wheel of drawing challenges would always almost land on "Kill Nathan". In the last episode, it lands on it. Cut to Jacob, Karina and Julia beating something behind the couch. He got better | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: In the Knock-Off Zelda Characters episode, Nathan is tasked to draw "the character who's definitely not Princess Zelda", which ends up being a gormless Zelda look-alike with a glued-on handlebar moustache, and a pair of blue jeans painted on her skirt. | |

Three Shorts | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_4ef0ebb0 | comment |
Three Shorts: A variation. Each episode generally featured three artists, each doing their own drawing. Grew to four with the addition of Karina. In 2022, in an attempt to reduce overwork among the team, they've started to return to fewer hosts drawing even when all four are in the episode, with some featuring as few as two artists. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The topics for most of the early episodes were "adjective nouns", e.g. Athletic Sloths, Sassy Palm Trees, Political Unicorns, etc. (a format later reserved for their easier-to-produce Beans episodes.) As the show began to bring on guest artists, so too did they start doing a number of the drawing challenges the channel is best known for. | |

Makes Just as Much Sense in Context | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_4fc0aaa7 | comment |
Makes Just as Much Sense in Context: Sometimes their drawings simply turn out strange because the source material was bonkers to begin with. The stock image episodes are a good example of the artists actually managing to replicate the original pictures quite well. The commentary for each drawing tends to go off the rails just as quickly, and is a signature part of the channel's appeal. | |

Fantastic Racism: Parodied in the Evangelion Challenge. When Julia describes the angel Ramiel to Nathan, she says it screams a lot; Nathan therefore draws it with a huge mouth.

Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: The 30 Second Drawing Challenge and the MS Paint Drawing Challenge were followed by the 30 Second MS Paint Drawing Challenge. In the 4 Artists, 1 Prompt episode, Jacob announces that they will be doing something different, and when the others suggest that they are either making music or cooking, Jacob resigns that they are cooking music. In that videos sequel, Jacob announces the return of a recent success. Nathan and Karina press if it's the Bone Game or the NeoPets challenge. While Jacob tells them to be quiet, Karina quietly says "The NeoPets Bone Game". A fake thumbnail for the challenge slides on-screen. | |

Cuteness Proximity: Nathan makes very characteristic noises when he sees something cute. This eventually led to a viewer requesting that they just draw "something that makes Nathan go Aww". Caldwell decided to exaggerate it and create The Nicest Drawing, in an attempt to kill Nathan with cuteness. Indirectly in the Drawing Dungeons & Dragons Cats episode. Jacob and Julia draw their own cats as D&D characters; during the process, they continuously tell stories about the cats' habits and personalities, while Karina and Nathan audibly melt in the background. | |

| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_95087b32 | comment |
In the lost version of Artists Make More Characters From Random Shapes, Julia somehow creates a scene depicting a room full of vampires from her random shape. Every iteration of the Random Shapes challenge thereafter had her mock up a room full of vampires using her shape, usually in addition to her actual character. Drawing A Room Full of Vampires would later become its own Beans episode. In general, Julia has a habit of putting an incredible amount of energy into her backgrounds, especially during character challenges. | |

One of the beans episodes was Drawing Months As People.

Unfortunate Name: Discussed by Brennan in the D&D Villains video. First-time D&D players will often come up with ludicrous names like "Buttscratch Tumbledown", not realizing that those names are going to be used in dead serious situations later on. | |

Negative Continuity | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: While some of their more story-based shows have "proper" continuity, anything established in their regular series is subjected to Continuity Snarl. The supposed relations between the artists is especially prone to changing at random based on what's funny at the moment. | |

Couch Gag | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_c4d09d24 | comment |
Couch Gag: Most episodes used to start with a brief spiel where the hosts introduce themselves and the show, during which plays a speed drawing of a blank white coffee mug being redesigned along the topic of the day. This was later retired due to the hosts deciding that it added little to a given episode for how much effort it took. Now, most episodes begin with the hosts introducing themselves as their self protraits pop up and briefly (or not-so-briefly) discussing the premise of the episode. | |

Flanderization: Nathan is the only member of the regular Drawfee crew with a full beard, though it's not particularly long. Drawings of him, especially in the Drawfee Animated segments and Nuesday intros, depict him with a gigantic, bushy beard that's almost half his size. | |

Once per Episode | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_f05444a4 | comment |
Almost on a Once per Episode basis, one of the hosts will slip up or say something random, and the others will immediately gang up and razz them for the rest of the episode. Such flubs can even go on to become a recurring joke, such as Julia's remark of "Can you believe to learn?" which now has a Patreon tier named after it. | |

Escalating Punchline: The hosts will sometimes launch into this as they try to one-up each other after a joke. An intentional example occurs in the Digimon Evolution Drawing Challenge, when Karina compares evolution patterns in Pokemon and Digimon. | |

Explicit Content: Although the hosts do swear on the show, the topics and drawings are generally tame and family friendly. The episode Artists Draw Spicy Song Lyrics is a sort-of exception, where they take very explicit lyrics and interpret them in the most innocent way possible (e.g. by drawing "wet ass pussy" as a cat in a bucket of water). | |

Running Gag | |
| Drawfee (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Julia's distaste for Vegeta, and the other hosts nagging her into drawing him. Julia's interpretation of Spheal during the first Pokemon From Memory challenge was so bizarre that it became a sort of unofficial mascot for the channel. A corollary to this is Julia knowing nothing about Pokemon in general. Julia's off-model Hilda from "30 Second MS Paint Drawing Challenge" is almost as infamous at this point, and whenever it's mentioned a ghostly image of it will appear for a few moments. Tuesday videos regularly feature the cast trying a new challenge introduced by Jacob. Starting with the first Non-Artist Fan Art Challenge, Jacob originally called it "Trysday", and eventually renamed it "Nuesday" at Nathan's suggestion. Since then, his spiel where he introduces the challenge has grown longer and more elaborate with each episode. In the My Hero Academia/Rob Liefeld episode of The Style Mash-up Challenge, Julia kicks off by mispronouncing the name Liefeld despite her and Jacob having watched video interviews with him just prior. The hosts then proceed to take a leaf out of Yahtzee Croshaw's book and come up with increasingly mangled mispronunciations as the episode goes on, such as LeFeld, Loolie Foolie, Lupin III, LucasArts and Leonidas. Jacob shows great interest in determining which characters do or do not fuck. Nathan hates tomatoes, while Jacob loves yogurt. Nathan keeps having to draw rude apes. Karina, and her imaginary love escapades with Seto Kaiba. When Julia is given a long prompt, she tends to forget parts of it by focusing on the wrong thing. Julia drawing horror versions of Kermit the Frog, and throwing in her minimalistic version of Batman for good measure. Julia's inability to accurately remember how Sonic looks like. She seems to think that he's shaped like "a ball or an egg shape", and that he doesn't have a separate torso. Relatedly, Julia's ongoing struggle to draw an egg properly, as she instead often draws them unusually pointy at the top. In the lost version of Artists Make More Characters From Random Shapes, Julia somehow creates a scene depicting a room full of vampires from her random shape. Every iteration of the Random Shapes challenge thereafter had her mock up a room full of vampires using her shape, usually in addition to her actual character. Drawing A Room Full of Vampires would later become its own Beans episode. In general, Julia has a habit of putting an incredible amount of energy into her backgrounds, especially during character challenges. In the Drawfee Variety Hour episodes, whenever they spin the wheel to determine the next activity, it always pauses on "Kill Nathan" before landing on something else. In the last episode, it finally does land on "Kill Nathan", and they beat him to death with baseball bats. It lands on the same again later in the episode, but they've already done it, so they just spin again. Julia's habit of drawing Pokemon in suits is called out multiple times. She's drawn Spheal in a suit twice (once when just given the name, once when given a mangled Pokedex entry), Exeggeon (a fusion of Exeggutor and Vaporeon), and Virizion. Following the premiere of "Despair", Destiel (i.e. Dean/Castiel) becomes a recurring conversation topic for the Drawfee crew during their Twitch streams, mostly because Karina was part of the Supernatural fandom back in its peak around 2013-2014. This bled into the show itself with Karina choosing to draw Misha Collins for the Drawing Celebrities (One Facial Feature at a Time) challenge and her Grinch/Onceler Spanish confession scene redraw making a cameo in the Artists Draw Hearthstone Cards (That They've Never Seen) episode. Interrupting Jacob when he tries to introduce the episode, which can become an Overly Long Gag. Declaring "we all have ‘em," "who needs 'em," and "they're just like us" (usually in that order) when someone brings up the topic of the episode. Karina asking if the topic of the episode is The Bone Game. Similar to Julia's former obsession with turning every drawing into a room full of vampires, Karina has developed a tendency to take any shape-based prompt as a challenge to somehow turn it into Sonic — specifically, a scene where Sonic is lying in bed and reading the newspaper after showering, and is interrupted by the viewer. For a time, the crew would end up talking about Cats (2019) in nearly every episode. Eventually, they even released a Cats 2019 Drawing Challenge episode. | |

Buffy Speak: The hosts sometimes regress into this, mostly due to the improvisational nature of the show. Sometimes the hosts intentionally play it up, e.g. when Nathan refers to making educational content as "doing a learn". Julia also likes to play fast and loose with grammar, such as when instead of "What does his mouth look like?" she asks "How his mouth do?" And that's only the intentional ones — they are also known for such legendary verbal typos as "can you believe to learn" and "who do I know this man?" | |
