PokeMagma Event Sessions!

The official PokeMagma Team blog, dedicated to Pokemon themed drawing sessions on Magma!

[pokemagma]

Greetings everyone!

This is the official Pokemon Magma Event Session account!

We are a small passionate group of Pokémon fans, who share a love for art and the Pokémon series.

We host monthly art sessions, usually on the last weekend of each month, to get together and draw characters from the world of Pokémon! Sometimes these are big scene-based collaborations, and other times they’re doodle canvases to hang out on :)

Originally created by @choochooboss on their blog for Subway Boss fans - over the years we’ve expanded to general Pokemon fandom event sessions, where we all connect with fans around the world to draw and have fun!

The current admins are @doodlejoltik and @protagpigeon.

We have a carrd page which organises information in one place: LINK

What’s that…? The squeak-squeak of approaching clown shoes? That must mean PokéMagma’s April session is on the way!

Why, yes, grafik design IS our pashun!!1! ^_^

Ahem—anyway, our April PokéMagma session will run from Friday, April 24 - Monday, April 27, and the theme is MEMES and SILLINESS! We had a chat with Dialga, and (for a hefty Poffin fee…) it kindly agreed to turn the clock back to April Fool’s just for this session! Memes, doodles, and just-for-fun drawing challenges abound! Let’s have a fun and funny time!

Keep an eye out for our next session, April 24th - 27th!

Also: in our last two sessions, we’ve been using Magma’s new multiboard feature, where all the canvases are together in a single space. This is different to the old sequenced canvas mode. If you have a preference or feedback about this, let us know on our Multiboard layout survey! [LINK]

[pokemagma]

Our March 2026 PokéMagma session is OPEN!

Draw with us in the world of Pokopia from March 27-30! We've got lovely scenes from the game to fill with Pokémon, and draw your favorite Pokémon characters as Ditto-lookalikes! On our free doodle session, you're also able to draw whatever you like, including other fandoms and OCs.

PokéMagma’s March session is on the way, with Ditto and doodles abound!

That’s right—it’s a Pokopia-themed session! We’ll have lovely backgrounds from the game for you to liven-up with Pokémon or Ditto-fied Pokémon characters, in addition to our free doodle session (which would be a great place to hit any of your blorbos with the Ditto-beam, if you’d like!)

The session will run from Friday, March 27—Monday, March 30. Whether or not you’ve already dived into the world of Pokopia, this session is sure to be Ditto-lightful!

Thank you for participating and celebrating 30 years of Pokémon with us! We hope to see you at our next session from March 27-30!

[pokemagma]

Hello, folks! We hope you're enjoying our current session, a celebration of 30 years of Pokemon! Our session got a new look, using Magma's new Multiboard feature, so we wanted to give a tutorial on how to use it! Below the cut, you'll find info on how to access and exit a Multiboard canvas.

As you can see, with the Multiboard feature, all drawing canvases are in one place! Cool, right? But how do you actually draw on them?

To access and draw on a canvas, first, click on the canvas you want to draw on.

As seen in the example above, it'll highlight itself, and above your now-selected canvas, you'll see a blue "Edit" button. Click on that, and you'll open your selected canvas's layers as well as your drawing tools, as shown in the example below.

With that, you've successfully accessed the canvas, and can draw on it to your heart's content!

To exit the canvas, simply go to the canvas's layer stack. Above them, you'll see a gray bar named after the canvas. On the right, there's a tiny X on the side. Click that and you'll leave the canvas.

Alternatively, if you're currently editing a canvas, at the top of the Magma UI you'll see a button with multiple small squares, labelled "Back to multiboard," as shown below. You can leave the canvas by clicking this button, as well.

Either of these methods will bring you back to the general multiboard, where you can select another canvas to draw on, if you wish!

Note that you wont be able to draw unless you enter one of the canvases! Also, no need to worry about accidentally drawing on other canvas, since you can only do so when you've actively entered a canvas. Every canvas still has it's own layers, so you also won't lose your layers, either.

Additionally, if you get lost somewhere in a Multiboard’s space, you can reorient yourself using the “Fit on screen” option, as shown below! This will be under the View button on the Multiboard’s toolbar (although it may look like a magnifying glass for you). This works for canvases, as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask mods/admins for help, if needed! We're happy to help you. :)
