Draw and Collaborate With Others
Screenshots
Being able to collaborate with others on paintings and drawings is a very useful feature, although it's not common for most illustration and design software. Fortunately, collaboration is exactly Drawpile's main selling point. Drawpile lets several users draw on a canvas simultaneously, allowing them to share their drawings and ideas instantaneously with each other.
Drawing Features
While collaboration is Drawpile's main focus, this doesn't mean that it is a subpar drawing tool. Drawpile has all of the basic features that one expects from a painting app. It has multi-layer support which can be set to different color and blending modes. The app does not have a wide selection of brushes, sadly, but the brushes that it has available can be customized to create a variety of effects. Like layers, it can be set to different blending modes, but users can also change its opacity, size, hardness, and spacing. Drawpile also has pen-pressure sensitivity support, so it can be used with graphics tablets.
Collaboration Features
With Drawpile, users have control over the activity in their drawing sessions. Users can join sessions by joining a public one through the server list or by getting a private code from their friend. Once in a session, the host can limit a user's activity. Hosts can lock certain users or layers. They can also restrict actions like image uploading and text box creation. They can also ban users and password-protect sessions.
Draw With Friends
If you have a lot of artist friends then Drawpile is a great way to spend time with them. It's also great for professionals who need to quickly collaborate with a team.
