HOW TO DRAW

DRAWING

Press and drag with your mouse or finger to paint. A single tap leaves a dot. Pick a BRUSH FEEL below to change how your strokes look.

BRUSH

Pick a color from the palette and set the size with the slider. The "+" swatch opens a full custom color picker. Your last choice is remembered next time you visit.

BRUSH FEEL

• 🌤 SOFT — a gentle, diffused watercolor wash, lovely for slow relaxed painting
• 🖋 INK — a tapered brush-pen stroke that deepens where lines overlap
• 🌾 CHALK — a dry, grainy pastel texture
• ✨ NEON — the original bright glowing light trail

COLORING PAGE

Pick an outline from COLORING PAGE — a mandala, flower, butterfly and more — and simply paint inside the lines with any brush and color. Your color always stays under the outline, and CLEAR only wipes your painting, not the outline. Pick "✕" to go back to a blank canvas.

TOOLS

• 🧹 ERASER — erase instead of draw
• ✨ SPARKLE — turn the glowing trail on or off
• 🔊 SOUND — turn ambient sound on or off (see AMBIENT SOUND below)
• ↺ UNDO — step back one stroke
• CLEAR — wipe your painting (still undoable; the coloring outline stays)
• ▶ ANIMATE — replay your drawing stroke by stroke, in the order you drew it
• ⬇ VIDEO — record the animated replay and download it as a WEBM video
• ⬇ GIF — record the animated replay and download it as an animated GIF
• ⬇ SAVE IMAGE — download your drawing as a PNG

TEXT & EMOJI

Press 🔤 TEXT, then tap anywhere on the canvas to write a word in your current brush color. You'll be offered a set of graphic looks (NEON, GOLD, FIRE, ICE, BUBBLE, OUTLINE, RAINBOW, 3D) to style it with. Press 😀 EMOJI to open the emoji picker, choose one, then tap the canvas to drop it there. Both are added to your drawing's history, so they replay with ▶ ANIMATE and appear in your VIDEO and GIF exports too.

AMBIENT SOUND

While you draw, a soft ambient tone quietly follows your brush. It's always tuned to a calm five-note scale, so it can never sound "off" — higher up the canvas plays a higher note, lower plays a deeper one, gliding gently between them as you move. The tone pans left and right with your brush, blooms in slowly and fades out slowly when you lift your finger, and has a light touch of reverb for a soft, spacious feel. Each BRUSH FEEL gives it a slightly different tone color, and erasing plays a quiet, muted note of its own. Toggle it anytime with 🔊 SOUND, and use the slider beside it to set the volume (40% by default) — both choices are remembered.

BRING THE PICTURE TO LIFE

Draw a picture (e.g. a bird), then press ➕ MARK PART and drag over a part you want to move (e.g. a wing). Choose a motion — FLAP, SWAY, SPIN, BOB, PULSE (gentle breathing), FADE (soft opacity breathing), DRIFT (slow floating), or TWINKLE (a soft flicker, lovely for stars). Add as many parts as you like and hit 🦋 LIVE — the rest of the picture stays still while the marked parts move around the point where they're "attached" to the body.

THEMES

Pick a THEME from the row above the canvas to change the background mood, including the calm ZEN theme. It doesn't change your brush color.
