Different Strokes
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.
Gameplay consists of:
– exploring the ever-expanding gallery
– painting your own artwork on blank canvases
– editing other player’s artwork
– rating completed artwork
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!
Paintings have a “share link” button that takes you to a web page you can use to share your work with other people outside of the game.
Player’s can optionally create a user account. When logged in, any paintings you create/edit will be marked with your username. Other players will be able to click on your username to see all the paintings you have created.
From the logged in screen you can see notifications when other players like your paintings and see how many total likes they’ve received.

Figured out how to throw a grenade after 8 hours and immediately got myself killed. Fun game, 10/10.

Cool drawing game were you can upload art and people will edit it and you can edit other peoples artworks too

i like this game but i feel like you should be able to remove peoples edits easier. people like to grief your paintings or just erase yours to draw their own unrelated thing. i think the only way to remove it is to go out and find it in the gallery and report it, and finding it in the gallery can take a really long time. i think you should be able to do it in the my paintings section. also i feel like the deluxe edition should give you a color wheel and multiple easels. its annoying that you only get a handful of extra colors and you can only save one unfinished painting

Great community Discord, A working report system, constant amazing updates. Just a fun time for artists and non Artists alike!

The idea is simple: You create a painting, and someone else will add their own flare to it :)
You can also leave a like on good paintings and a dislike on edits that ruined the original painting, to get those edits gone.
In a world where so many paintings are being made by AI, this game is quite refreshing. It's really enjoyable to see so many paintings made by talented people! Some of the paintings are also just funny edits, which is fine too. The music is also pretty good.
I'm only not getting the Deluxe version, because I'm not great at art, but it is fun to just explore and see the art from other people and their edits. But anyways, try this game. If you like it, and specially if you are an artist, get the Deluxe version too:

incredible game. def recommend just getting the deluxe version right away, as well as learning how to mix colors together.

Different Strokes is an Online art museum where you can paint on a canvas and share your work with other people via the museum. Other people can also paint over your painting (if you want them to) which I personally enjoy seeing how some people use my drawings as inspiration to create something new. I can honestly say I don't know any other game like this one. I could get lost in the museum for hours its so huge.
My only gripe is that certain colors are locked behind premium but the game is free to try and if you really want to support the developers its only $5 dollars.
