PINTORCITO

Style guides

Every painting style has its own feel.

These guides explain what each mode is for, how it behaves, and which kind of playful mark-making it encourages. Each page also links straight into the live interactive canvas.

Painting style

Pixel Art

Pixel Art mode turns the canvas into a chunky grid so every tap feels precise, simple, and satisfying.

This style snaps every mark into square cells, which makes it easy to build icons, little characters, and colorful patterns without fiddly controls.

Painting style

Single Line

Single Line mode is the cleanest brush in Pintorcito, built for fluid movement and graceful continuous marks.

This style follows the pointer in one smooth stroke, making it ideal for minimal sketches, looping shapes, and quick calligraphic gestures.

Painting style

Falling Sand

Falling Sand mode lets you paint with tiny grains that react to gravity instead of sticking in place.

Rather than drawing a fixed line, you release particles that tumble downward, slide sideways, and build soft little piles across the canvas.

Painting style

Drip Paint

Drip Paint mode starts with a touch and then lets gravity keep the mark moving after your gesture ends.

This style places wet-looking paint on the canvas and turns it into playful runs, streaks, and downward dribbles.

Painting style

Particles

Particles mode behaves like a toy spray can, bursting dots and speckles around your pointer path.

Instead of one clean stroke, this style emits clustered dots with a bit of motion and randomness, creating lively sprayed textures.

Painting style

Ribbon Trail

Ribbon Trail mode adds a soft magical tail to every gesture, turning movement into a flowing band of color.

This style stretches a layered trail behind the pointer, so quick curves and loops feel plush, luminous, and a little theatrical.

Painting style

Wild Oils

Wild Oils is built around thrown paint, not neat brush drawing. The gesture starts the splash, then the paint behavior takes over.

This mode mimics a loose action-painting feel with irregular pools, broken tails, flecks, and short drips that make the canvas look more accidental and alive.

Painting style

Paint With Text

Paint With Text turns your chosen word into the brush itself, stamping one character at a time as you move.

This style writes with letters instead of paint marks, repeating the word in order along the drag path so the text becomes both content and texture.
