Drawing Studio

How to play Drawing Studio

1. Pick a sheet: Square, Wide or Tall. The sheet keeps its size and shape, so turning your phone or resizing the window never stretches your drawing.
2. Choose a medium in the tray: pencil HB and 6B, charcoal, fine pen, brush pen, watercolour, marker, crayon or soft pastel. Each lays down like the real thing: grainy, inky, soft or see-through.
3. Pick a colour (the rainbow dot opens any colour you like) and set the size with the slider.
4. Draw with a mouse, a finger or a stylus. With a pen such as Apple Pencil, pressing harder makes a thicker line, and your fingers only move the sheet so your palm never leaves marks.
5. Fill a closed shape with the bucket, rub out with the eraser, and undo or redo as much as you need. Zoom in for details.
6. Your drawings are kept in this browser under My drawings. Download a PNG at full size (1600 px) to keep or share.

About this game

Drawing Studio is a freehand sketchpad that puts real-feeling drawing media in your browser. Nine media come from the Doodle Cub drawing videos: pencil HB and 6B with paper grain, charcoal with dust, a crisp fine pen, a brush pen that thins as you speed up, soft-edged watercolour that layers like a glaze, a marker that darkens where strokes cross, waxy crayon and chalky pastel. Strokes taper at both ends and respond to stylus pressure. There is an eraser, a fill bucket that tucks colour under your lines, a colour picker, up to 48 undo steps, zoom up to 12x and three sheet shapes. Each sheet has a fixed size (1600 px on the long side), so rotating a phone or tablet only changes how large the sheet is shown, never the drawing itself. Drawings are saved in your browser as you go and can be downloaded as PNG files.

Controls

On a phone or tablet: Draw with one finger or a pen. Two fingers move and zoom the sheet; a line you had just started when the second finger landed is taken back. Once you use a stylus, fingers only move the sheet. The round + and − and Fit buttons follow On-screen controls (Auto, Always or Off) in the menu, and Left-handed moves the tray to the left in landscape.
