First Use

Your first drawing

Use a simple image with clear outlines and a few flat colors. Keep default quality and hardware settings initially.

Microsoft Paint

1. Open one Paint window with an empty canvas fully visible.
2. Choose Microsoft Paint in Image Draw Bot, then Select image.
3. Open Get started if you want explanations. Build preview or run a small test if useful; these are optional in the Paint workflow.
4. Press Prepare Paint & draw when ready. This prepares Paint and starts drawing; it is not a setup-only button.
5. Leave the mouse alone. Esc stops; F6 pauses/resumes.

If preparation reports a problem, read the status and correct it before retrying. See Paint setup.

Browser games

1. Open a drawable canvas and choose the matching profile.
2. For a manual first attempt, turn Browser One-Click Mode off and leave drop-start modes unarmed before adding the image. Enabled automatic modes can start drawing after import.
3. Select a local image and run One-click Setup + Verify or Auto setup browser where supported.
4. Confirm the canvas excludes browser controls. Check a fresh preview.
5. Use Unlock full drawing → Start drawing, following any remaining setup message and the countdown.

For Gartic Phone, first follow its Chrome/Artist Tools setup. Skribbl.io setup has its own profile.

Keep Auto clear target canvas off unless you want existing artwork erased. A Small test also draws on the real canvas.
