Hashtag Walls: See What Everyone Is Drawing Right Now

On the DRAWMYFACE open wall, every drawing can carry up to three hashtags — and every hashtag has its own wall, where all the faces tagged with it collect. Tap any tag and you're standing in front of everything anyone has drawn about that one idea, newest first.

Most of the time that's charming: #selfportrait is an endless parade of honest mirrors, #oneline is a gallery of show-offs. But when something is actually happening in the world, tag walls become something better — a live record of what people are thinking about, told entirely in badly drawn faces.

Election season on a tag wall

When a country is voting, its candidates' faces get drawn — constantly. A tag like #election fills with the same few politicians rendered a hundred different ways: careful likenesses, three-stroke caricatures where the hair does all the work, versions drawn with obvious affection and versions drawn with obvious teeth. On polling day the mix shifts — suddenly it's voters drawing their own faces, tired and proud, fresh from the booth.

Scrolling that wall tells you what a comment section never can, because there are no comments — the wall is faces only. You see which candidate people find drawable, which feature every stranger independently exaggerates, and how the mood of the drawings turns as results come in. It's a barometer made of doodles, and the arguments stay home.

Tournament nights

Sports walls fill in real time. During a final, a tag like #final or the tournament's name collects the star striker drawn mid-celebration, the goalkeeper drawn as a wall of hands, the referee drawn with somewhat less love, and — as extra time drags on — fans drawing their own faces at 1 a.m., eyes barely open, refusing to sleep.

Open a face and tap it to watch the replay: someone drew this in ninety seconds between penalties, and you can see exactly where their hand shook on the second goal. After the match, the wall stays — a fan mural of the whole night, scrollable from final whistle back to kickoff.

Heatwaves, exam weeks, and everything else

It doesn't take a headline event. During a heatwave, #heatwave becomes rows of melting faces. In June, #graduation fills with caps and relieved grins. #exams peaks with hollow-eyed self-portraits and drops off a cliff the day results come out. New Year's week, half the faces are resolutions personified.

Because every wall keeps its history, scrolling one back is scrolling back through time — a tag wall is a time capsule that the internet drew for itself, one face at a time.

How to read a wall like a regular

• Tap a tag anywhere — on any face's card, or in a tag wall's header — and you're on that tag's wall, newest faces first.
• Check the related tags shown at the top: they're the tags that most often appear on the same drawings, and they lead to the adjacent conversation (#final leads to #penalties; #exams leads to #coffee).
• Tap faces to watch their replays. The stroke-by-stroke playback is where you see the mood, not just the result — an angry doodle is drawn fast, you can tell.

How to join in

Draw your take on the open wall — no account needed — and add the tag before you post (three tags max, so pick the ones that matter). Your face appears on those tag walls the moment you press done. That's the entire mechanism by which these walls happen: no algorithm, no submission process, just everyone filing their two-minute drawing under the same word at the same moment in history.
