The editor.

Pick a brush, pick a color, draw. Undo is always one tap away, and everything you do is recorded into the work's timelapse. The toolbar carries the essentials and the rest hides until you want it, so you can ignore most of this page and be fine.

On the daily prompt you choose your canvas shape before you start:

• Landscape — 16:9 at 1080x608, good for scenes.
• Square — 1:1 at 900x900, the classic doodle shape.
• Portrait — 9:16 at 608x1080, phone-shaped, great for characters.
• Pixel art mode — A true low-resolution canvas: 32x32, 64x64, or 128x128, plus widescreen 64x36 and tall 36x64, with a hard pixel brush. Published pixel art is upscaled with crisp nearest-neighbor edges, never blurred.

Canvases can also have a transparent background, with the usual checkerboard underneath, and finished work downloads as PNG.

• Brush — Pressure-sensitive painting with all your installed brushes. The full brush story has its own page.
• Eraser — Same engine as the brush, in reverse.
• Fill — Flood-fills an area with the current color, with tolerance and anti-aliasing controls, plus a gap-close setting that bridges small holes in your line art so fills stop leaking out of almost-closed shapes.
• Shape — Drag out clean lines and shapes instead of freehanding them.
• Blur — Softens whatever you paint over.
• Eyedropper — Picks a color from the canvas. Holding Alt on a keyboard temporarily switches to it from any tool.
• Selections — Rectangle, ellipse, lasso, and magic wand. More below.
• Transform — Move, scale, and rotate a selection or a whole layer.
• Pan — Drag the canvas around. On touch screens just use two fingers.

There's also a text tool with three styles (clean, cute, and pixel), currently exclusive to the standalone Editor, which is a supporter perk.

Works are built from layers, like any serious drawing app. Per layer you can:

• Add, reorder, hide, rename, and delete.
• Set opacity and pick from twelve blend modes: Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Color Dodge, Color Burn, Hard Light, Soft Light, Difference, and Exclusion, plus Normal.
• Toggle alpha lock, which makes your brush only hit pixels that already exist. Great for shading line art without coloring outside it.
• Clip a layer to the one below it, so it only shows where the layer underneath has paint. The classic setup: flat colors on one layer, shading clipped on top.
• Merge a layer down into the one below it.

Select a region to constrain your painting to it, or to pick pixels up and move them.

• Magic wand — Selects connected color with adjustable tolerance, optional anti-aliasing, the same gap-close bridging as the fill tool, and a toggle to sample all layers instead of just the current one.
• Refinement — Grow, shrink, feather, or invert any selection after you make it.
• Clipboard — Copy, cut, and paste selections, or duplicate them straight onto a new layer.

• Symmetry — Mirror your strokes live: horizontal, vertical, both at once, or radial with 4, 6, or 8 spokes for instant mandalas.
• Stabilizers — Three smoothing styles per brush: a light touch-up, a lazy-mouse mode that trails your cursor on a string for confident long curves, and a springy streamline mode that eases the line toward your cursor.
• Reference images — Paste an image from your clipboard or drop a file into the workspace. References float above the canvas as translucent guides you can move, scale, rotate, lock, or hide. They never appear in your published work and never leave your device.
• View flips — Flip or rotate your view of the canvas without touching the artwork, the classic trick for spotting wonky proportions. Zoom runs from 10% to 3200%.

• Pinch to zoom, rotate, and pan with two fingers while you draw with one.
• Pressure-sensitive styluses work out of the box, including pen pressure on brushes.
• Pen barrel buttons and extra mouse buttons are rebindable, so you can put eraser, eyedropper, undo, or pan wherever your hand expects them.

The defaults follow Photoshop muscle memory. Every one of these is rebindable from the editor's settings. Ctrl means Cmd on a Mac.

View

• Drafts — Your work saves automatically as you draw, with a little status chip so you can see it happen. Close the tab mid-doodle and it'll be waiting when you come back.
• Publishing — Posting sends the work to the feed and that day's prompt page. You can also download your art as an image.
• Timelapse — Every published work carries a stroke-by-stroke replay of how it was made, watchable on the work's page.
