KNOW Tintfolk
One idea, one canvas, countless attempts.
Tintfolk is a drawing space that brings pixel drawing, learning and co-production together in one place. Whether you're designing a small object or creating a shared scene with your friends, your starting point is the same: a blank canvas and an idea you want to try.
Drawing doesn't always start with a finished result. Sometimes you wonder about the harmony of just a few colors; sometimes you look for the shape of a character. There is as much room for these small experiments on Tintfolk as there is for completed works.
Why pixel art?
Pixel art teaches you to pick out details. When describing an object in a limited space, you decide which line to keep, which color to use, and what to simplify. A small change can change a character's expression or the atmosphere of a scene.
This approach offers different ways to experiment, both for first-time drawers and for those developing a particular visual idea. You don't have to choose a complicated scene to get started; You can study color, proportion and light through a simple shape.

Go to drawing guide →A path for every beginner.
If you're placing your first pixel, you can start with basic shapes. If you have drawing experience, you can make new experiments with a character, game object or color study. If you like working together, you can bring different ideas together on the same stage on a common canvas.
You don't have to have a ready-made style. The important thing is not just to repeat the example; To make your own decisions by seeing what you changed and why. Guides are starting points that support this process.
Drawing together, deciding together.
Common canvas is not just about adding pixels in the same area. Choosing the subject, matching colors and leaving room for each other's contributions are also part of the production. While one person establishes the main shapes, the other can develop the environment and small details.
In Tintfolk's common rooms, participation and drawing authority are managed separately. Thus, watching the room and contributing to the drawing are separated from each other. You can find both this process and task sharing suggestions in collaboration guides.
The output of the work is also part of the process.
You can output your drawing as a PNG to share, and save the Tintfolk project file to continue with your layers and frames. Knowing what different outputs preserve will ensure you have the correct file when returning to your work later.
That's why we include in the guides not only how the drawing looks, but also how it is saved and how it can be displayed clearly in different sizes.

A step you find difficult to use, an incomprehensible explanation, or a feature idea can be a valuable start for development. Our goal is to improve the drawing experience and learning contents according to needs.
