if you're an arctic wolf fan, please don't let anybody make you feel bad for getting a corrupted one this notp. that's not their business what your favorite animal is or if you think it looks cool, just because you like the arctic wolf doesn't mean you're flexing and even if you are? Who cares! Play the game how you want to play it! It's a snow dog made of polygons.

hihi! do you have any advice for sketching or generally drawing on ajc? ive always had a hard time since theres no layers 😭

when it comes to sketching, i typically have two means of going about it

sketching ingame itself. you can apply the techniques of sketching in mspaint onto the ajc art studio! the trick is to sketch in a single specific color thatll differ from your lineart . draw the lineart over it . and once you dont need the sketch anymore, fill all empty spaces with the sketch color before refilling it all as white to make the sketch disappear and keeping your lineart in place. wee bit trickier with lineless art, but it works still

sketching in a separate program. this is what i do most the time nowadays. i have a default canvas size on csp thats roughly the size of the canvas in ajc (that i got by just taking a screenshot of the ingame canvas lawl - its 1315x804) and i do all my sketching in there so im able to edit the sketch with transform tools all i want. then i use an application called pureref in order to have the sketch open in a transparent tab over the art studio, and just do the lineart that way. kinda like the modern version of tracing something by putting the og image and a blank sheet of paper on a window lol

some other ajc art tips 1. SAVE OFTEN. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE SKETCHING IN THE PROGRAM ITSELF THEN FILLING EVERYTHING TO REMOVE THE SKETCH. i cannot tell you how many times ive lost tons of time because i accidentally filled the lineart itself w the sketch color, clicked a 2nd time in rapid succession, then couldnt undo it because the studio only has 1 undo/redo. save!! constantly!! you also never know when the game will crash, ajc is held together with sticks and glitter glue, play it safe 2. if you take multiple drawing sessions to finish something, please try to get it done BEFORE an update drops - updates cause the art studio to reset to its default colors, losing all the colors you had used prior! dont start a massive project near update day if you dont want to lose your colors 3. if you're on windows, use the built in zoom features to zoom into your art. you can enable the feature in settings > ease of access > magnifier, as well as just pressing the windows key and "+" to turn it on on the go (windows + esc to close). i also recommend disabling "Smooth edges of images and text". unsure if mac has a zoom in feature built in 4. working in greyscale, esp if you're working lineless, is a major help instead of just going straight for colors. working with colors in the studio is HARD due to how limiting it is, and if you're like me, you'll be recoloring stuff over and over and over. makes it easier to just get stuff down in greyscale then worry about what color itll be . heres an example of me doing that w one of the cosmo mps ive done

the aj art studio is really not easy to use . it has a decent learning curve and you really have to learn how to adapt to the restrictions it has. but honestly, thats part of the reason why i love it. the restrictions are super fun once you start solving them, and it really puts your creativity and abilities to the test - i pretty much only use my knowledge of color theory when making mps 😭 i sincerely hope if they ever update the program, that they never add layers and i even hope they never fix the horrible color box. the restrictions give the program charm and makes the art people make in it all the more impressive! hope you find luck getting more into ajc mp making !!
