DRAW STUDIO

β–Ό
Full-featured digital painting canvas
🎫 Artist Pass required
🎨
Multi-layer Canvas
Paint on multiple independent layers with full opacity control. Reorder, duplicate, merge, hide, or lock layers to build complex compositions. Compact 1-row layout: 🐡/πŸ™ˆ visibility toggle, opacity slider, blend mode, and reorder β€” all inline.
πŸ–Œ
Brush Engine
Adjustable brush size (N/M keys), color, and dynamic size toggle. SIZE / COL / DYN controls displayed in a single compact row with labels above.
🎭
Blend Modes
Each layer supports blend modes: Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, and more. Layer effects are composited in real-time on the canvas.
πŸ”§
Tools
β€’ Brush β€” freehand painting β€’ Eraser β€” erase with adjustable size β€’ Fill β€” bucket fill a region β€’ Eyedropper β€” pick color from canvas β€’ Move β€” reposition the current layer β€’ Undo / Redo β€” full history stack
πŸ“
Canvas Options
Start with a blank canvas or import an image. Resize, flip horizontal/vertical, and rotate 90Β°. Dark or light canvas background toggle. All sections are collapsible β€” click headers to organize your workspace.
πŸ”
Canvas Zoom & Pan
←/β†’ arrow keys to zoom in/out (when no element selected). Ctrl+scroll wheel to zoom. Space+drag to pan around the canvas. Double-click to reset zoom to 100%.
🎨
Material Presets
Load pre-made texture and pattern presets from community artists. Drag & drop to reorder slots. Using a preset automatically credits the original artist in your NFT metadata (4% royalty share).
✲
Symmetry / Kaleidoscope
7 symmetry options in one row: OFF / 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12-fold. Creates mandala-like kaleidoscope patterns as you paint. Effect is per-layer. Symmetry controls hide together with Brush Settings when collapsed.

πŸ’‘ TIPS
πŸ’‘ Start on a new layer for each major element β€” this lets you adjust composition later.
πŸ’‘ Use Multiply blend mode on a layer to add shadows without losing underlying detail.
πŸ’‘ Material presets from other artists are credited automatically β€” great for collaborations.
πŸ’‘ Collapse unused sections (Mode, Layers, Brush, etc.) to focus on your work.
πŸ’‘ Use ←/β†’ keys to zoom into details, Space+drag to pan, double-click to reset.

COLLAGE STUDIO

β–Ό
Mixed-media image composition
🎫 Artist Pass required
πŸ“Έ
Image Import
Import photos, illustrations, or textures from your device. Multiple images can be loaded simultaneously as separate layers.
↔️
Transform
Resize, rotate, and reposition each imported image freely. Corner drag: uniform scale. Edge drag: stretch. ⌘+corner: free aspect. βŒ₯+corner: skew/shear.
πŸ“
Layer Composition
Stack and blend imported images with drawn elements. All layers from Draw mode are available β€” combine painting with photography.
πŸ”²
Crisp Mode
Toggle pixel-perfect edges for collage items β€” eliminates anti-aliasing for sharp, clean compositing.
βœ‚οΈ
Crop & Ratio
Set crop ratio to Free, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9. Export only the visible composition.
πŸ’‘ TIPS
πŸ’‘ Combine Collage with Draw mode β€” import a photo as a base layer, then paint on top.
πŸ’‘ Use different blend modes on imported images for creative double-exposure effects.
✨

GENERATIVE STUDIO

β–Ό
Algorithmic pattern generation
🎫 Artist Pass required
πŸ”’
Algorithm Selection
Choose from built-in generative algorithms: noise fields, flow patterns, particle systems, fractal structures, and parametric designs.
πŸŽ›
Parameter Controls
Adjust seed values, iteration count, color palettes, density, and complexity. Each parameter change generates a unique output.
🎲
Randomize
Click the randomize button to generate new variations with different seed values. Each result is mathematically unique.
πŸ“
Resolution
Generate at canvas resolution. High-resolution output for detailed prints and large-format display.
πŸ–Œ
Paint + Generate
Generative output is rendered onto the canvas as a layer. You can paint over it, mask areas, or combine with other layers.
πŸ’‘ TIPS
πŸ’‘ Generate on one layer, then draw on another layer above to create human + machine artwork.
πŸ’‘ Use Overlay blend mode on a generative layer to apply patterns to existing paintings.
🟩

PIX STUDIO

β–Ό
On-chain pixel art editor
🎫 Artist Pass required
⬛
Pixel Canvas
Dedicated pixel art editor with grid sizes from 8Γ—8 to 128Γ—128. Crisp, aliased rendering β€” no anti-aliasing, no blur.
πŸ“š

πŸ–Œ

⛓️
On-Chain Minting
PIX art is minted 100% on-chain as a data URI embedded in the token metadata. No IPFS dependency β€” your art lives on the Tezos blockchain forever.
πŸ“
Export Size
PIX art is exported at a minimum of 512Γ—512 pixels for visibility. The pixel-perfect upscaling maintains crisp edges with image-rendering: pixelated.
⌨ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
ClickDraw with selected color
Shift + ClickErase pixel
πŸ’‘ TIPS
πŸ’‘ Start with a small canvas (16Γ—16 or 32Γ—32) for iconic pixel art.
πŸ’‘ Use layers to separate the character, background, and effects β€” easier to iterate.
πŸ’‘ PIX art is fully on-chain β€” no IPFS, no CDN dependency. It will exist as long as Tezos exists.
