⭐ Deluxe Edition ⭐
To help pay for server costs we have introduced a Deluxe Edition that includes several special features: 9 exclusive colors! smaller brush sizes brush smoothing straight line tool canvas zoom studio room for viewing your paintings/liked paintings painting easel for saving draft paintings We really need your support to keep this game running so we hope you'll consider making this one time donation to unlock the latest features!
Your friend, a conceptual artist, has invited you to their latest exhibition.
You enter expecting to see their art adorning the walls, but to your surprise, the VISITORS are the ones drawing the art — they’re even drawing over each other’s work! It’s up to you to protect the exhibition from being covered in artwork that is, intentionally or otherwise, truly awful.
- Explore a never-ending, ever-expanding gallery full of user-generated art — and snarky guests!
- Add a new layer to art that needs a redo!
- Draw new art to fill the exhibition!
- Rate art to boost the good and hide the bad!
All of the art exhibited in the game is 100% created and remixed and rated LIVE by other players. Yes, we host all of this art and load it in dynamically. We hope that you will choose to fix the (inevitable) unacceptable art!
In addition to the main gallery there is also a portal to the "gallery of the week". Every week there will be a new gallery with a particular theme. The main gallery is pretty crowded so your art may have a better chance of standing out in the gallery of the week!

HEY IS THERE AN EXIT YES OR NO PLS DONT TROLL
sry abt all caps
guys i drew uta from one piece film red but as the state of utah (link: https://www.differentstrokes.xyz/view/2203005_1736729275_2) (yes, i am schlingus, there is a reason why i signed it)
also i am schlingus so if you see schlingus on any painting that means i drew it
there's a degenerate going around vandalizing art pieces. they find genuinely nice art and paint over it with the same retarded blue cat face. please report any "art" of theirs you see and protect other people's in turn.
ths is cool I found a horse that you can ride and a statue and a jumping room :)
i aint seen no horse
its next to a statue I found it when I went strait forward
wth i could only find the jumping room
well after the jumping room just don't stop going strait then you should see a statue and behind it, there should be a horse
love it and drew so many fake exit signs :) also cool easter egg
how do i draw my painting here?
still sad that this game doesn't work for me anymore
omg I loveeee. It! I made quite a bit of cats slayyayeeeeeeeeeeek :3.:3
:3
:3
I actually love this game so much <3 I made Changli from Wuthering Waves!!
How do you get purple and red and stuff like that?!
DONT PLAY THIS GAME EVER AGAIN!!!
OMG!!! A steel ball run fan !! pls someone talente fix this (>-<)
Looking at my paintings for my account I wish there was a way to see people paintings not just by date but also popularity. Like a toggle to switch the order :)
u know what this drawing is not that bad even if lm on a school computer wish I can get the deluxe one tho but I cant T_T
i love this game even though im not the best at drawing on a mousepad.
可以可以,画的很爽😋😋👍👍
是村里人吗🥺
草什么什么 是中国人是中国人
我靠我靠!终于遇到村里人了ww🐶
好好
It would be nice to have an option to report paintings or give negative votes to them
there is now
Is there any way to use my drawing tablet? bc I wanted to try it but it didn´t work (also, beautiful game)
Really Cool Concept! definetly Playing more later!
so uhhhh i sort of accidentally softlocked myself on my phone- i was changing the controls to fit mobile- and i accidentally changed enter and exit both to "press" so now whenever i press controls it just takes me out of the settings lmao,,
prolly reset the app-[idk]
very nice thank you
For me its such a disappointment when I come in the morning and there is no beautiful art to look at. The walls are blank and nothing has been completed.
I love to draw using this so much! My go-to when I want to draw digitally. Definitely putting the Deluxe ver on my Christmas list :)
Just saw one of my drawings got to the recent favorites! Thank you all :D

if you want to saw, i drawned this with mouse (my hand hurts)
damn proud of me,
我好久没回来了才发现
Lovely!
i love stroking
Idk why but the report button doesn't work I always come back later to see the painting I reported to see it didn't go back to the original
a vr version of this would be fire ngl oh and also whenever I go to the notification center can it not send me to another website and just show me the painting from there, just a request have a nice night/day
went a little too fast/far and got out of bounds. Now none of the paintings will show up. It hasn't even been a full day since i got the game and i already broke it. :')
(nvm just had to turn it off and on)
I love this game but there is one issue, when I go to my paintings & see edits that are rlly messed up it doesn't have a report button. For example, I made a drawing of some random silly trans guy; however, someone edited it to make him a girl (very clearly had transphobic intent). I wanted to report it but I can't find my painting in the gallery to report the edit & I can't report it in the "my paintings" section. There's also been tons of homophobic stuff recently & this would help decrease the hate. Can devs please look into this? Aside from this the game is lovely & it's so fun to see all the art that people make :] keep up the good work team!!
why so many homophobic paintings
just people who are really religous and think this game is for people to make propaganda when this game is for all communities to make their art and when people make good art these idiots decide to put "no trans" or gay is bad stuff over it like a bunch of idiots who cant get off their greasy gaming chairs and go outside and maybe learn that some gays and trans are generally decent people.
Probably a dumb edit, but I decided, let’s not leave that in there. Was originally an actual phone number. I think.
no.
There is no way out.
why is ts game so peak
Kind of reminiscent of Tegaki E, I love it
how do i get deluxe?
Buy.
Super cute and paintings are amazing!
everyone in this game is so talented and i love this
I was so damn proud of this and it didn't get likes at all
oh hey im the first artist! I loved what you did also but I havent found it in the wild yet :)
Its possible that the week reseted after that..
btw I checked your account and you draw really good !
oh ty! :)
its enough to make a grown man cry.
GUILTY GEAR? OMG
