Drawing Multiplayer: Draw With Friends Online

Most 'multiplayer drawing games' are guessing games — one person scribbles, everyone else types. DrawUp does something different: everyone actually draws, together, in real time.

Guessing games vs. actually drawing together

Search for multiplayer drawing and you'll find Pictionary-style games: skribbl-likes where drawing is just a prompt for guessing, and only one player draws at a time. Fun for a party — but nobody comes out of them a better artist, and the person drawing is usually rushing a 60-second doodle.

DrawUp's multiplayer is drawing-first. Every player in the session works on the same step-by-step lesson simultaneously. You see the same guides, draw the same strokes, and end up with your own version of the artwork — then color it however you want. It's the digital equivalent of sitting around a table drawing together, with a teacher guiding everyone's hand.

How multiplayer drawing works in DrawUp

  1. Enter the multiplayer mode from the home screen and join a drawing session.
  2. Everyone gets the same tutorial — the same step-by-step guides, live accuracy scoring included.
  3. Draw in real time alongside other players, matched into your session.
  4. Color your finished piece your way. Same line art, wildly different results — that's the fun part.
  5. Compare and share. Save your artwork, export a speedpaint video, or show off your accuracy score.

Why draw in multiplayer?

💡 Tip: multiplayer sessions use the same step-by-step system as solo lessons, so nothing about your practice changes — you just do it with company. New to the app? Play one solo lesson first, then go multiplayer.
