What it does
Colors Live brings layered painting to Nintendo Switch with a pressure-sensitive SonarPen. Colors Quest supplies daily exercises, and the online gallery includes painting playback.
Brushes, opacity, blending and an eyedropper support drawing on a canvas up to 2560 by 1980 pixels, with ten layers. That ceiling sets the working size before detailed painting begins.
Export a still image or timelapse to the Switch image gallery. Community playback also reveals the sequence of marks behind a finished painting.
Digital and cartridge packages bundle the software with a SonarPen, which needs neither batteries nor Bluetooth. The Patron package additionally lists access to a Windows beta.
