I agree with Re-design but would like to suggest a second step:
Soak the drawing in vinegar to help set the dye. Another idea: you could draw over it lightly with a bleach pen.

yea i'll at least try that.... i doubt it'll work tho cuz i can't make anything right
There are ways of fixing dyes to fabric, the word is "mordant". Not knowing your dye, it's hard to say, but gentle (hand) washing would help, or going over with something more permanent.

I'd tend to go with Re-design - use a permanent marker. Unless you wanted to spend the time sewing-over the design?

Putting the jeans in the dryer on medium hot might set the ink like it would a stain but it's still going to fade.
Or, go over the drawing with a fine point sharpe. The ink in them are pretty permanent.
What's the drawing look like?
