ColorMari is a game for many - but you can also draw just for yourself. No time limit, no pressure, with every brush and tool. Perfect for practising before your first game, or just for doodling.
Start a drawing
Under Play you see two cards: Multiplayer and Single player. On the card Just for you, click Start a drawing - and an empty canvas opens.
You need an account for this, because your drawings are saved for you. How to log in: Logging in and connecting accounts.
No need to save
ColorMari saves your drawing automatically, a few seconds after every change. If that fails for once, you see a notice, and ColorMari keeps trying until it's saved again.
My library
Everything you draw on your own is in My library:
- Every drawing as a tile with a preview and the time you spent drawing it.
- Search by title, and sort by date or title.
- From a tile's menu you can open, rename or delete it. Deleted is deleted - it can't be undone.
- The first tile, New drawing, starts a new drawing with a title of your choice.
A drawing is never "finished": open it whenever you like and keep drawing.
The pictures from your games are in the same library: the filter next to the search switches between All, Singleplayer drawings, Multiplayer drawings and Old multiplayer drawings, see Your drawings after the game.
What you can try out here
On your own you draw with the new drawing program and everything it can do: layers, selecting and transforming, filters and templates. What they're about is under New drawing features in the list of all guides.
