About

Drawpile is a free and open-source collaborative drawing application that allows multiple users to draw, sketch, paint, and animate together on a shared canvas in real time. It supports offline drawing, animation tools, and cross-platform use including Android, Linux, and Windows. The project is community-supported and actively maintained with regular releases.

Problem

For

Artists, illustrators, and animators who want to collaborate in real time
