Cancel Drawing Desk: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel drawing desk and understand your refund rights in canada
What drawing desk is and why you might want to cancel
Drawing Desk is a mobile and web-based sketching application available on iOS, Android, and the web. The app offers free tools for basic drawing and painting, but unlocks premium brushes, advanced features, and exclusive content through paid subscriptions or one-time purchases. If you've subscribed and no longer use the app, or if the premium features don't match what you expected, cancelling your subscription is straightforward-and Stopee is here to walk you through every step.
When cancellation makes sense
You might consider cancelling Drawing Desk if you've stopped sketching regularly, prefer alternative drawing apps, or find the premium features aren't worth the monthly cost. Whatever your reason, you have rights as a Canadian consumer, and Stopee exists to help you exercise them without friction. Cancelling early also prevents unwanted charges if your subscription renews automatically.
What this section covers
In the guide below, you'll find your exact cancellation method based on how you subscribed (Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Drawing Desk website), what happens to your account after you cancel, your refund eligibility under Canadian law, and a checklist to confirm you've completed the process.
Your consumer rights and refund eligibility in canada
Canadian consumer protection law does not include an automatic 14-day "cooling-off" period for digital subscriptions the way the EU and UK do. This means your refund rights depend primarily on Drawing Desk's published refund policy and the terms of service you agreed to when you subscribed.
What canadian law says about digital subscriptions
Most provinces in Canada allow companies to classify digital subscriptions as non-refundable once the service has been delivered. However, you retain the right to:
- Cancel your subscription before the next billing date to prevent future charges.
- Request a refund if the company's refund policy explicitly allows it (some do offer exceptions for unused time).
- File a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority if the company refuses to cancel or misrepresents its policy.
- Dispute charges through your bank or payment provider if the company continues to bill you after you've cancelled.
Pro tip: Keep records of your cancellation request (screenshots, confirmation emails, or chat transcripts). If Drawing Desk bills you again after you cancel, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank. Stopee recommends documenting everything-it's your strongest defence if you need to escalate.
Refund policy for drawing desk subscriptions
According to Drawing Desk's terms, subscription payments are generally non-refundable, and no partial credits are issued even if you cancel mid-billing period. However, the company's store policy does allow for exceptions in some cases, such as unused trial periods or technical issues. If you believe you're eligible for a refund, contact their support team directly at [email protected] with your order number and account details.
How to cancel drawing desk on apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, your cancellation happens directly in your device settings.
Step-by-step cancellation on iOS
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name (Apple ID) at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap Drawing Desk.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Choose your reason for cancelling (optional, but helpful feedback for the developer).
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
What happens after you cancel on apple app store
Important: You must cancel at least 24 hours before the end of your current billing period. If you do, your subscription will not renew. However, your premium access remains active until the end of the current paid term-you don't lose functionality mid-month. After the term ends, you'll revert to free-tier features, and you won't be charged again unless you manually resubscribe.
Your account and any artwork you've created remain intact. You can download your drawings before the subscription expires if you want to keep them elsewhere.
How to cancel drawing desk on google play store
Android users follow a similar process, but through the Google Play app instead of system settings.
Step-by-step cancellation on android
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find and select Drawing Desk.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the prompts and confirm your cancellation.
Timing and access after cancellation on android
Like Apple, you should cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. Your access to premium features continues until the end of the paid period, then stops automatically. You won't be charged again unless you resubscribe manually. Stopee reminds you that Google Play processes cancellations immediately-double-check your confirmation email to confirm the request went through.
How to cancel drawing desk on the web or direct purchase
If you subscribed or purchased directly from the Drawing Desk website, the cancellation process happens within your account dashboard.
Step-by-step cancellation via the drawing desk website
- Visit thedrawingdesk.com.
- Log in to your account using your email and password.
- Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription Settings (usually found in a menu or profile dropdown).
- Look for Billing, Subscriptions, or Manage Subscription.
- Select your active subscription and tap Cancel or Delete.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
Warning: If you cannot find the cancellation option online, email their support team at [email protected] with your account details and subscription ID. Include a clear statement: "I request to cancel my Drawing Desk subscription effective immediately."
What to do if the website doesn't respond
If you've tried cancelling online and receive no confirmation, or if the company continues to bill you, contact them by mail at the address provided below and keep a copy of your letter. You can also file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office if the company ignores your request. Stopee advocates for consumers who face unresponsive customer service, and documentation is your power.
Drawing desk pricing and subscription plans
Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether the premium features justify the cost.
Current subscription pricing
| Plan type | Price (approximate) | Billing cycle | Cancel anytime? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly premium | $7.99-$12.99 CAD | Monthly | Yes, 24 hours before renewal |
| Yearly premium | $59.99-$99.99 CAD | Yearly | Yes, 24 hours before renewal |
| Lifetime access | $49.99-$149.99 CAD | One-time purchase | Non-refundable (see refund policy) |
Pro tip: If you prefer a low-risk trial, choose the monthly plan instead of committing to a year. This way, you can cancel without losing a large upfront payment.
What happens after you cancel drawing desk
Cancellation can feel uncertain when you're unsure what you'll lose. Here's exactly what changes.
Your account and artwork after cancellation
Your account does not delete automatically when you cancel your subscription. Your account profile, saved drawings, and project history remain accessible. However, access to premium features-such as advanced brushes, filters, cloud storage, or exclusive content-stops after the current billing term ends. If you want to preserve your artwork, download your drawings before your premium access expires, or plan to keep a record elsewhere.
Can you resubscribe later?
Yes. If you cancel and later change your mind, you can resubscribe at any time through the same app store or website where you originally subscribed. Your account and drawings will still be there, and you'll regain access to premium tools immediately upon resubscription. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers who cancelled and later resubscribed without issue-there's no penalty for cancelling and coming back later.
Prevent accidental resubscription
After you cancel, verify that your confirmation email states the subscription will not renew. Set a calendar reminder for the day your current term ends, then log in to confirm the premium features are no longer active and no charge appears on your next statement.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling drawing desk
Cancelling feels straightforward until something goes wrong. We've seen it happen, and we want to help you sidestep the pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you cancel within 24 hours of your next billing date, the renewal may process before your cancellation takes effect. Check your next billing date in your subscription settings before you cancel. If you're cutting it close, contact Drawing Desk support immediately to request a manual cancellation or refund.
Mistake 2: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling Drawing Desk from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your billing profile remains active in the app store, and you'll be charged again at the next renewal. You must cancel through your app store settings or the Drawing Desk website.
Mistake 3: not keeping proof of cancellation
Screenshot your cancellation confirmation and save the confirmation email. If Drawing Desk bills you after you cancel, you'll need this evidence to dispute the charge. Stopee recommends creating a folder on your phone or computer labelled "Cancelled Subscriptions" so you can quickly reference it if needed.
Mistake 4: ignoring unexpected charges after cancellation
If you see a charge from Drawing Desk on your statement after you cancelled, contact them within 30 days. If they refuse to refund, file a dispute with your bank or credit card company. You have the right to challenge charges you did not authorize, and Canadian banks take subscription disputes seriously.

User reviews and real-world experiences with drawing desk
Understanding what other users think can help you decide if cancellation is the right move for you.
What users appreciate
Drawing Desk has a loyal user base who value its intuitive brushes, affordable pricing compared to desktop alternatives like Procreate, and regular feature updates. Artists who use the app daily often report that the premium subscription offers genuine value.
Why some users cancel
Cancellation reasons typically include feature limitations on the mobile platform, preference for competing apps like Ibis Paint or Clip Studio, and the cost adding up over time. Some users subscribe for a few months to test the premium tools and then cancel once they've explored the interface. This is a perfectly normal use pattern, and Stopee supports consumers who experiment before committing.
Overall rating
Drawing Desk maintains a 4.5 out of 5 star rating across app stores. It's a solid, well-maintained app, but whether it's right for you depends on your artistic needs and budget.
How to contact drawing desk if cancellation doesn't work
If you've followed the steps above and your subscription remains active or you've been charged after cancellation, reach out directly.
Drawing desk contact information
Email support at [email protected] with your account email, the date you attempted to cancel, and a copy of any cancellation confirmation you received. Keep your message brief and factual: include your order number and billing date, and clearly state your request.
Mailing address for drawing desk
If email support does not respond within 5 business days, send a written cancellation request to:
Drawing Desk
12342 Kirshner Way
San Antonio, TX 78252
USA
Include your full name, email address, account number (if available), the date of your original subscription, and the date you requested cancellation. Send the letter by certified mail and keep a copy for your records.
Escalation to provincial consumer protection
If Drawing Desk continues to charge you after a documented cancellation request, you can file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In British Columbia, contact the Office of the Consumer Protection Commissioner. Stopee recommends documenting every communication attempt before escalating to government authorities-having a clear timeline strengthens your case.
Final thoughts on cancelling drawing desk
Cancelling a subscription should be as easy as signing up. If you subscribed through an app store, the process takes fewer than two minutes. If you subscribed on the web, check your account settings or email support. Document your cancellation, verify the charge doesn't reappear on your next statement, and you're done.
Your consumer rights in Canada protect your ability to cancel at any time before the next billing cycle. Drawing Desk's terms may say subscriptions are non-refundable, but that doesn't mean you're locked in indefinitely-you can always stop the bleeding by cancelling immediately.
