How to Play Art Alive
Quick start
Press Start to open the Toolbox over a blank canvas, or press A at the title screen to begin immediately with the Pencil. Choose the background and colour palette first because changing palettes later changes every colour already used. In the Toolbox, highlight a colour, one of the eight drawing tools, and a pencil width, confirm each selection, then press Start to return to the canvas. Activate the tool with A and move it with the D-pad; press A again before repositioning so you do not leave unwanted marks. Add stamps, text, a backdrop, or an animation only after the main drawing is laid out, and use Undo or the Eraser as soon as a mistake appears.
Controls
D-pad: move the Toolbox highlight, gallery cursor, or active tool on the canvas; it also flips a stamp before placement. Start: switch between Toolbox and canvas. A: go directly to the canvas, activate/deactivate a tool, place text or stamps, and confirm animation choices. B: confirm Toolbox selections, turn off the Curve tool for repositioning, or cycle characters with Text. C: change tool speed. In the Toolbox, select colour, tool, width, speed, Undo, stamps, animations, text, or backdrops.
