Online Co-Working for Artists
Welcome to Drawing Room!
A virtual studio space on Zoom where illustrators and artists show up to work on their own projects together. Organized by Esther, US based Illustrator.
They are all silent sessions. No instruction or critiques are offered. Each artist bring their own project to work on while muted. It’s like a co-working space in real life.
Yes. The optional tip jar at the bottom of the page that helps cover costs, but Drawing Room itself is free to join.
Nope. Drop in whenever works for you. Skip sessions freely. There's no attendance tracking or expectations.
Not at all. Most artists are comfortable leaving cameras on so we have that sense of shared space, but it’s optional. Microphones stay off so we can remain focused. No sharing, no critique, no explanations needed. Just gentle accountability while we work together.
We have folks joining from all over the world. Esther is mindful of that. Check the session times and join whichever works for your schedule.
Typically 1h per session
Just a Zoom link (sent after you sign up) and whatever you're working on. That's it.

Who Drawing Room is for:
Drawing Room works well for artists and illustrators who struggle with motivation when working alone, creatives who miss the energy of shared studio spaces, freelancers looking for structure without rigid schedules, and anyone who finds accountability helpful but doesn't want the pressure of traditional art classes or critique groups.
How virtual co-working helps your creative practice
Online co-working for artists creates gentle accountability. When you know others are showing up to work at the same time, it's easier to start. The presence of other creatives, even through a screen, breaks the isolation of working alone and helps you stay focused during your session.
Many artists find that virtual studio spaces bridge the gap between working completely alone and the commitment of in-person studio memberships or art classes.
Why artists choose Drawing Room
Unlike traditional online art classes or workshops, Drawing Room has no instruction or curriculum. Unlike critique groups, there's no pressure to share or explain your work. Unlike expensive co-working memberships, it's free to join.
It's simply a safe, dedicated time to work on your art alongside other creatives who are doing the same.
