## Gameplay

Every uDraw game requires the uDraw GameTablet which is bundled with the software.

In Paint Mode, players can create original paintings by choosing a canvas, colors, paint size, and stamps. Effects include faded painting, flipping, black and white, negative, neon, sharpen, and glow. Paintings can be saved, snapshotted, or replayed.

In Coloring Book Mode, players can color in Coloring Pages by genre. Tools are the same as the Paint Mode and pages can also be saved into the Gallery.
