* BoyMeetsGirl

* ChekhovsGun: Dominant hands.

* DownerEnding: The creator has stated that he doesn't like [[HappilyEverAfter sugar-coated perfect endings]]. He ''certainly'' hit his mark here.

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Most certainly on display here.
* MeetCute: Done ''right''.
* MinimalistCast

* TheNoseless: This too.

* SeparatedByTheWall: A textbook example of this trope.

* StarCrossedLovers: Well, kinda...
* StatusQuoIsGod: Apparently averted, played straight, subverted, and then ''played straight again'' in a rather disturbing way.
* TheStinger: One that bothers a lot of people, to put it lightly.

* UnusualEars

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Long-distance relationship seems to be an influence on the themes, and anyone who has little contact with the one they love will tell you that it hits a little too hard.

* LoveMakesYouCrazy is most certainly on display here.

* AllThereInTheManual: The extras above are mostly just things [[TearJerker make you cry yet again]], but the EasterEgg in the video for "Who" tells you many important things, like why they couldn't just use a ladder. [[spoiler:Living things have a tendency to die when they pass over the wall.]]

* HopeSpot: When the boy punches through the glass [[spoiler: which then ''instantly'' reforms, shredding the boy's arm and many crucial tendons in his drawing hand]].

* MeetCute: Done ''right,'' thank god.

* NoNameGiven: Both our main characters are this.
** However [[spoiler: on [[http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=324208167620805&id=161009323940691 Mikeinel's facebook page]] he calls the boy Zefyr and the girl Lilian.]]

* ThePowerOfLove is what [[spoiler:compels the boy to try to break through the glass]].
* SeparatedByTheWall: This is a textbook example of this trope.

* WindowLove: Err, wall love. The principle's the same.

* TheNameless[=/=]NoNameGiven: Both our main characters are this.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The creator and his girlfriend are in a long-distance relationship. This seems to be an influence on the themes, and anyone who has little contact with the one they love will tell you that it hits a little too hard.

''Draw With Me'' is an animated short set to a short-edit of Otsuka Ai's song ''Cherish'', made by [[http://mikeinel.deviantart.com/ Mikeinel]], worked on extensively as a Valentine's Day present for his girlfriend, Doski.

This does not stop it from being face-meltingly popular across the Internet, though.

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler: The part where the girl cuts her arm so she can give it to the boy]], if you put aside [[TearJerker the sad part]].
** Not made any better by [[spoiler:how much blood she seems to have lost when she cut it off and put into the box. The entire box it's in is red, and some of it can still spill over onto the ground.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: The extras above are mostly just things [[TearJerker make you cry yet again]], but the EasterEgg in the video for "Who" tells you many important things, like why they couldn't just use a ladder.
