How to Draw?

Use your mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen to draw. On a touchscreen device, use one finger to draw. You can click or touch a single pixel to color just that pixel, or you can draw your finger / mouse to draw a longer line.

For more precise editing, click to zoom in.

On touchscreen devices, use the ​ button when zoomed in to switch between swipe-to-draw and swipe-to-move-canvas modes. If you're using Chrome on Android, you can also use a two finger swipe to move the canvas when zoomed in.

Colors & Brushes

To change the color or style of drawing, select the button on the toolbar. Then simply click or touch the brush style you prefer. They have different sizes, and some of them have soft edges. Try and see which one you like more! You can further customize the brush by setting its intensity.

To change the color, click or tap the color picker () button.

Erasing & Smudging

You can unselect or fade pixels that you have colored before using the eraser tool. Select the button on the toolbar, then select the button. Just like brushes, erasers have different styles as well.

The tool blends nearby pixels together for a smoother transition.

You can color up to 300 pixels. Pixels on the soft edge of the brush count as partial pixels, but other artists can blend their drawing into those areas. You can also blend your work into the soft edges of other drawings!

Layering

Your drawings will always flow around existing drawings that have already been saved by other artists (and you).

As you're painting your additions to the picture, newer drawings will blend with existing drawings that you haven't saved yet. Hard brushes will fully overwrite existing drawings.

You can click the button to change this behavior, and instead flow around your existing unsaved drawings.

Saving

When done, click the button to upload your work. If you're over 300 pixels, you have the option to unselect the pixels over the limit automatically, or you can use the eraser to delete some manually.

Made a mistake? Click the button to undo your last action (or you can always use the eraser tool). Changed your mind? The button allows you to undo your undos.
