howdy! i don't know if this has been answered before, but i'm very new to using oekaki and am nervous about how it operates; if i've finished and posted a drawing, but want to use the lines from it again as a personal base, will selecting 'color me in' on the submission and then saving a new version overwrite the last one? <:3 (will the posted version be changed to the new saved one, i mean? idk if i'm wording this well, sorry T_T)
thanks for any help!

No, "Color Me In" creates a whole separate version, so you can reuse the same base over and over again!
"Edit Drawing" will overwrite the file, so do be careful which you click!

hii.. me again ! i was wondering if it's somehow possible to export art out of the oekaki, and how to get a transparent image? it always submits with a white background when i try, though i've given access to the art to the people it was for and they've managed to get transparent versions; i just can't figure out how @_@

you need to get the image link and then replace the format=auto with format=png, and then you can save it transparent <3

Hello! I have a problem.
Whenever I attempt to draw in oekaki, I notice a lot of the time my pen will leave random
dots when attempting to do, well, anything.
Here is an example of what I mean.Has anyone experienced this issue before? I'm trying to puzzle out if it's a hardware issue or something else entirely.
Second question!
If I were to delete
this, would the
drawing beneath it clip to the original post
here?

I also have this problem!!!!! It only happens sometimes, but the dots and lag are soooo annoying. My tablet is really old and has been struggling a bit lately (I'm also not entirely sure I have the right software installed), but seeing as you have this issue too maybe it's oekaki...

It's really,
REALLY discouraging to try and work with the program with this issue, especially when I try to line things :') My tablet is going on 11 years now and i've made sure it wasn't a driver issue or a browser thing, but if it isn't an issue with the way it communicates with oekaki, i'm not sure what to do ;w; It certainly works just fine in photoshop/clip studio!

Hi!! Could you tell what this setting is? I've been having the stuttering on oekaki as well and it's driving me nuts. I don't think the settings on my computer have changed but I would still like to look into this mystery pen setting :3
