Draw My Life is an internet video genre in which the author narrates their life history, set to a fast-motion video of the author drawing illustrations usually on a whiteboard of key figures and events in their life.[1][2] Drawings can be as simple as stick figures, or fully fleshed-out, created digitally or digitised.[3] Often, the videos reveal previously hidden upsetting or unfortunate histories or stories, and end in the author thanking their audience for aiding in their success.[citation needed]
The first video of its kind was posted to YouTube by Irish YouTuber and musician Bry in September 2011.[4] The style of video became a popular trend on YouTube in 2013, when several other popular YouTube personalities began uploading such videos, some of which were featured in popular online news publications.[1][5][6] Eventually, Draw My Life videos were created for fictional characters and non-YouTubers such as Harry Potter.[7]
