How to Draw on Drawball

Drawball is a unique art website where you can post artwork in an interesting form. A large circle collage of artwork appears on the screen in which you can zoom in closer and closer and add your own work to the design. The result is a one-of-a-kind design that showcases many types of artwork from around the world.

Instructions

  1. Get Into the Drawball Website

    • 1

      Log onto the Drawball website from your computer. On the opening page you will see a large circle appear in which a collage of artwork will quickly fill in.

    • 2

      Locate the zoom button just below and to the left of the circle and click it. Another circle with the larger one will appear. Move this circle with your mouse to the location in which you would like to zoom in closer and click.

    • 3

      Repeat zooming in until a pattern appears on the screen with six dots. This is a puzzle that you must solve to allow you to draw on Drawball.

    Solve the Puzzle

    • 4

      Click on the dot in the lower right position and connect it to the dot in the lower left position by clicking on it.

    • 5

      Connect to the dot directly above the last dot connected. Draw the next line to connect the highest dot on the puzzle. Continue to connect the line to the dot in the upper right position of the puzzle.

    • 6

      Combine to the position directly below it in the lower right corner even though you used that point already. As long as you don't cross the same line, you are still doing fine.

    • 7

      Draw the line to continue to the center position of the puzzle. Continue in the same direction, connecting again to the dot in the upper left corner. Go again from there to the dot in the upper right corner.

    • 8

      Cross back downwards to the center dot.

    • 9

      Finish the puzzle by connecting to the bottom left dot.

    Draw or Paint on Drawball

    • 10

      Look for the feather pen to appear on the screen along with an ink jar and color wheel. There are also some small circles with different size dots that represent the pen sizes available.

    • 11

      Choose a pen size and color and use the feather pen to draw anywhere you desire on the collage. Watch the ink jar to make sure you don't run out of ink.

    • 12

      Zoom in or out to find a new location if you desire or make a more complex art piece in one spot.

Tips & Warnings

  • Watch your ink supply. When it runs out, you must wait some time to sign on again and draw more. Using a lighter shade of your chosen color uses less ink.

  • If you draw something the site administrators like, they will put you in the hall of fame and give you unlimited ink.

  • The correct solution to the puzzle is to connect all of the dots without crossing any line already drawn. The lines may touch, but not cross.

  • Your artwork is temporary and anyone can do anything to it including draw over the top of it.
