That looks great! Definetly a good gift for visiting.hngh, was going to use it to welcome new villagers but totally forgot about the feature. Can be a little frustrating with the control issue but it'd be fun to run around different towns and leave these

I agree though I haven't played City folk yet but hoping to do so once I find my controller.

Hopefully you'll like it! It's very charming with the city I jist don't remember any of it besides a few things.
I am on a mission to draw zebras on all of my friends' boards and sometimes for people that let me visit. I've done more than 10 at this point (preferred method: pro controller) and I think I'm even getting faster at it with practice... I don't know, I just like to see how many places I can get this zebra to go.
Having others post on my board is really fun too! Even if it's just a barely legible 'THANK' it just really makes my day and I appreciate it a lot

There's @_feralchildfred on instagram who currently goes round to towns and draws a favourite villager on message boards. I was really lucky that he came and did mine, a Marshal picture which looks incredible.
Apart from that I might get friends drawing random things on it but that's pretty much it.

I’m not artistically inclined either (especially digitally) so I don’t use the feature at all.
I think it’s a great platform for a guest log keepsake though! Reminds me of a wedding guest book.
Only downside is if you’re using your bulletin board strictly for your island announcements.

Oh, I was under the impression that styli don't work on the switch! Do you know what kind of stylus you have?
Well, I know that there was one made for Super Mario Maker 2, but I'm not sure about anything else
Search on Amazon for tablet stylus, any of those will work!
What a nice idea for a thread! <3
OP (@mewto28): your sense of shape and emotion is so great! Your villagers really feel alive and joyous, that Dom is particularly sweet (I've never been big on Dom even, but my heart just MELTED and I feel won over to him now, tbh. Happy Dom is everything!!).
(Also, you both have made me realise I GOTTA use the lower line thickness, lmao)
I dug up my old capacitive stylus to draw on the bulletin board this game and I've been having a blast. It makes me really happy to be able to make little doodles on my friends' boards, and I like to draw on my own as well. I used to spend hours on Pictochat by myself back in the day, and I like the oekaki feel, if you know what I mean? The restrictions of the tool are very freeing and inspiring, like the imperfect sensitivity, the limited ink, the tiny (but cute) palette. I wouldn't draw on anyone's board without permission though, especially since my doodling can be so hit and miss. >___<'' I also love getting people to draw on mine, even if they can only draw stick figures. It feels like a lasting memory of them being there.
I drew my partner's favourite villager (Eugene) for him when he made the game, and then Eugene was his first camper! So clearly I summoned him =D Funnily enough, he then TT looped Redd on a day the game autogenerated a message (for Reneigh's birthday) and it got wiped without him realising, but I screenshot everything I draw xD
I do miss the funny monologues in the older games, and the greater frequency of informative messages. It makes me sad to see no birds on my board. (I play with 2 characters.) So, I feel like it's my job to liven up my board. And I like to make nice messages (text and drawing) for my villagers.
Here are some samples of my doodles:

This is BEAUTIFUL ;-; I love Kabuki so much and this is just perfect!! You're really skilled with the colouring lol, the way you did the markings on Kabuki's face...hngh, was going to use it to welcome new villagers but totally forgot about the feature.

Love the Sprinkle one! If I ever had a stylus I might consider practising until I get better lol.What a nice idea for a thread! <3

Thank you!!
I had one lying around from the olden years because they work on smartphones too. So they're relatively cheap at least (but I totally get not wanting to buy one just to doodle on AC bulletin boards dkjsgdlgfd, I also like to draw on my phone). It's weird to me that they didn't bundle one with the Switch; they didn't even make an official one until after Mario Maker.
It's just that I draw a completely different and opposite style as oppose to cartoon/anime. I draw portraits and practice realism for fun and I draw when I feel motivated to do so.
Having a stylus really helps. Me fingers too THICCWhat a nice idea for a thread! <3

Oh my god I remember oekaki (that's what it was called - was trying to remember the name for ages), you put it exactly into words what's so appealling about bulletin doodling. It's really fun getting back to basics
I love the thicker lines for your drawings! I didn't realize how much I needed surfing Sprinkles in my life until now. And Cranston and Scoot both look amazing
