Tell us your ideas for SketchPort!

1 The line tool from Dmt. Where you can change the size and color quickly by holding down the arrow keys instead of tapping it repeatedly.
2 A bucket tool where you can fill the screen quickly.
3 Having breaks inbetween rounds on the guessing game.
4 Being able to edit individual posts on the forums instead of editing the whole forum title.
5 Symetrical drawing like they having in Zbrush.
6 Lab in combination with game mode. Where what the last person drew becomes 50% transparent after their turn ends and the next player draws over it on a new layer. Then after the second persons turn the first person's drawing layer disappears and the third player draws over a 50% transparent layer of the second persons drawing.
Kind of like a game of telephone where one drawing morphs from another. I hope this makes sense.
7 Being able to assign your own hot keys and save them so it's easier to use tools that are at opposite ends of the keyboard.
8 being able to re-size the main brush or change it's value quickly by being able to hold down the arrow keys instead of having to tap it over and over again.
9 Being able to copy and paste sections of your drawing/painting.
maybe a layer alpha lock/and layer clipping? like say you drew a shape on a layer, and you wanted to color or shade it without going over the shape that's already there
and for clipping, basically the same thing but on a separate layer.
Do you mean a mask?
@Gibber magash yeah i guess it could be called that as well. but the terms very from place to place. -ehehe i'm using the ones from sai as reference.-
@Gibber magash Good ideas, thanks. The arrow keys should be fixed now.
@Silva You can kind of do that. You just draw the color or shade first, then you use the erase brush to erase anything outside the mask.
I was thinking it would be kind of neat to be able to see who is waiting for a drawing game. Since it seems that matches don't happen to often just yet. So if you are on the game section it would show you as waiting for a game.
A sound effect when you get viewers on a broadcast would be nice. Also the sound effect for the drawing game might be more fun if it sounded more like the start of a race. Three similar tones then a higher tone.
Perhaps let people know when updates happen and what was changed. Either through a pop up window or a forum post. So that there is a feeling that there are changes being made. In order to increase site traffic.
For minor changes, there's an updates page that is updated any time updates are made.
For bigger updates, there are the blog and newsletter. The links are in the footer.

Sweet thnx : )
Would it be possible to be able to adjust the speed of resizing the brush?
Like one hit of the arrow key equals (3-4 adjustable) size changes.
And would it be possible to make it smaller mid stroke?
Forum threads should be organized.
E. g. sections for discussions about sketchport, discussions about art, or life and everything else.
Could then browse discussions by newest threads all, newest replies all or such categories.
It would be cool if we could set a "favorite" canvas size, that is automatic, and if we wanted a different size, we could then change it.
The site is a lot faster, not sure wut you did lol. +++++ :) Not really an idea,... just didnt know where to post this :D
What about something along the lines of the magic eraser function on MS Paint?
can move each layer... not the whole layers in a drawing..
paint bucket tool
the ideas in the future
- More games
- SketchPort Contest
- Add friends
- More Colors
- fill tool with just one click
It'd be nice to see a list with people who you follow :)
Press D, you will see the color templates
@Papachan but that one has less colors..
A new color picker is coming. I can't say when, but hopefully in the next couple weeks. :)
Yes, anything else?
Show current broadcasts and games:
Good one, Lunar!, I think game are becoming vacant for now.
Actually a good one if fill FILL FEATURE! couse the fill feature already dosent actually fill the whole thing so i want a full fill feature thx! really annoying when i have to color everything 1 by 1
Could you make it so we can choose our word to draw in the game from a list of three words?
Another idea would be you could enter words into the word bank for the drawing game if you have a high enough rank. Giving points for winning a game might help encourage people to play. But you might want to add time in between games with a waiting room.
Maybe brush pressure for drawing pad users. Like is you go hard, the brush gets bigger, and if you go light, it gets smaller. :3
a shortcut for merge selected layer with lower one :)
Maybe some cool button at the left side of the canvas. It can be anything, but I'm left handed and I think a button on the left side would make the left handed community here feel more accepted. Thanks
In the game, could we have a few words to choose from when we draw, please oh please, Hobo Sr.?? :3
Ok so I can't help noticing the NEW "What?! 9000?!" Badge. Nice, a new badge. But there is a vast, vast I tell you, amount of people that have it. I'd not mind a more exclusive Badge as well. Surely you've already figured out that I'm speaking of the rumored, highly anticipated, to-die-for "40k Crisis" Badge! Quickly! Unleash the PANIC!
I got that too Liar, it means that if you earned at 9000 reputations, you got the badge, some of the people earned it like 3 years or 4 years ago!
Yes, that much I figured out Papachan, but I crave more! A badge for people that reach 40.000 reputations. If implented, that would make a good new goal for you to aim at yes, PAPACHAN, YES!
Hey MagicalDude I think an implantation of a typing-text-tool (aka TTT) would be useful, for people drawing comics and stuff. Yes I'm drawing a comic :(
Do I have to wait a week...you can ask me a question that only I would know the answer to?
i like alphas
draw the BTS logo
