Drawing categories and artwork complexity
The game divides its catalog across varied visual categories so you can choose a style that fits your mood. You can paint different animal portraits, tasty snacks, or stylized figures. Simple sketches feature broad patches of uniform color, while advanced art pieces break the drawing into tiny squares requiring careful color placement. Because there is no timer ticking down, you can take as much time as you want on each drawing or switch to a new template whenever you like.
Tips and strategy
- Complete one color at a time: Fill all boxes matching a chosen shade before picking another tint, which reduces palette switching.
- Frame the outside edges early: Laying down boundary lines first gives a structured outline that makes the inner areas simpler to fill.
- Take on simpler drawings first: Starting with basic drawings helps you understand the interface flow before tackling larger, detailed art pieces.
- Work under good lighting: Distinguishing between subtle color variations is much easier when your display brightness is adjusted comfortably.
