Jazza's ARTY GAMES is a fun tool you can use to accompany your drawing sessions to practice with, challenge yourself, and most of all, have fun with your art! DISCLAIMER: There is no 'in-app' drawing, this app is an accompaniment to your drawing sessions to be used for generating ideas and challenges. The ARTY GAMES app features: - Multiple Profiles (each with materials and game/app settings) - Single Play Mode with 8 fun game options (Time limit optional) - Arty Party Mode for Rapid-Fire Art Challenges! In Single Play Mode you can play with or without a time limit and challenge yourself with one of eight fun idea generation and art practice games. 1 - COLOR CHALLENGE: The Color Challenge game assigns you between 1-5 colors you’re limited to creating your artwork with. The game generates these colors from the colored materials you add to your Arty Games profile such as paint and color pencils. You can also add Markers by brand (Copic, Mepxy, ProMarker, Prismacolor or 'Other') and build your materials from the official colors and sets for each brand! That way you can Play games like the 3-marker challenge without messing up your collection of markers! 2 - CHARACTER CHALLENGE The Character Challenge generates random combinations of Character Designs and Scenarios for you to draw. These can turn out funny, or epic – and there are billions of combinations to be explored! 3 - ENVIRONMENT CHALLENGE The Environment Challenge generates a scene for you to draw based in either an Interior or Exterior environment. 4 - INCREMENTAL DESIGN In the Incremental Design challenge, you draw a character’s head or body in 5 stages which are revealed one by one, so you won’t know what the final design will be until the very end – surprises lie in store! 5 - SCRIBBLE CHALLENGE The scribble Challenge generates a random doodle for you to copy down and turn into a work of art. 6 - COPY CHALLENGE In the Copy challenge, you are given an image to reproduce as closely as possible, which will help your observation and drawing skills, and can be a good warm-up to a drawing session too! 7 - DESIGN MIX The Design Mix challenge presents you with two random items which you must thematically or aesthetically combine in a creative way. 8 - CUSTOM GENERATOR The Custom Generator allows you to build your own lists to generate ideas and games from. The possibilities are LITERALLY endless! If you’re really up for a challenge, you can start an Arty Party! ARTY PARTY MODE: This mode is great to challenge yourself in, or play with a group of friends. Simply select the number of challenges you want to play and the level of intensity – (be warned, 'Intense' is named that for a reason!), and after you pick the games you want to be included, hit GO and get ready for a mashup of insane challenges that will test the skill of even the most experienced artists.

It seems like it hasn’t been updated in a while, and it definitely needs to be updated. A lot of the random prompts have grammatical errors and many don’t make sense. I also teach, and I would like to use this app for student assignments. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-07-13, version 2.1.6* I love being able to challenge my artist skills, the variety of prompt generators make it fun and creative. The only thing I would recommend is for the creators of the app add a prompt generator for creatures/animals that could be real or fantasy. That would generate random creatures with scenarios or habitats. In order to help practice how to draw animals. That is what I use the custom generator the most for. Other then that I love the app and can’t wait for future updates with more prompt generators! ### 3/5 — Fun games, art supplies needs work *2022-01-12, version 2.1.6* The games, except the color game, are great. The limited color challenge though is hindered by the limitations of the materials section. I recently got jazza’s pro art box and had a bunch of ohuhu markers before. I can’t load any of these in - I’ve made best-guesses using the custom option but even that is limited. I’d love to see the ability to change the numbering on the custom option - so even if the color match wasn’t perfect I could still find the right color to torment my friends with limited color challenges! Also with that the ability to add custom colors multiple times - I have markers that are very close in color but have different identifiers. Being able to adjust that would mean I could add multiple copies of near-enough purple and still be able to differentiate them! ### 4/5 — I love all of it… except one thing. *2021-09-03, version 2.1.6* The app is awesome. I have a very hard time thinking of what to draw and this helps me out a ton. However I am not the best artist and I don’t have the best supplies. The alcohol markers I use are from ohuhu and since the list of markers isn’t put into the app, I am unable to do the color challenge. What I suggest is that the Jazza team adds more of the quality brands of alcohol markers (especially the one the got 2nd place in Jazza’s marker madness, or they can make it so the user can input their own marker number, name, and hue. Other then that, the idea of the app is amazing and totally worth the price. Totally recommend this to everyone. ### 5/5 — Limited materials *2021-04-09, version 2.1.6* I love the app and how easy it makes you challenge your art. But it doesn’t make it easy to add certain materials that there are many brands for like markers and colored pencils. I have master’s touch alcohol markers and I can’t even find something close to the names and numbers on the markers. I also would like for the pens to have be able to add the different sizes like 0.4 and 0.8. The same thing for graphite pencils. It would also be cool if I could add other art supplies like pastels. ### 5/5 — Great!! 😃 *2021-03-29, version 2.1.6* Couldn’t been better I just bought it today and I got all kinds of cool and creative characters that I would never have thought of 100% recommend if you need something to draw or you can’t think what to draw like me,good job jazza.👍 ### 5/5 — Great *2020-10-07, version 2.1.1* I love this app, I have had it on all of my mobile devices. It helps so much when I’m completely stumped or looking for something different. Thank you to all of the developers for making the app and thank you Jazza for being such an inspiring figure ### 4/5 — Love this app but... *2020-06-25, version 2.1.1* We have really loved using this app. It is not only great for being artistic but coming up with characters for storytelling and role playing. My seven year old loves the scribble challenges and I like the character creator and custom generator. I would really like to use the color challenge but it is very limited on the color/material customization. I would like to be able to put in my sharpie colors, my sons crayon and colored pencils etc. there needs to be a more customizable materials section (like in the custom generator) then it would be a 5 star app for sure ### 4/5 — Cool, but annoying that it’s just man and woman *2020-03-14, version 2.1.1* Would love some of the character prompts to include non-binary people. It’s an easy fix, just put in the word “person” where you would put “man” or “woman” so it’s a bit more open. Also don’t be afraid to put traditionally masculine traits in for woman or person, or vise versa with feminine. Gender’s so fluid it’s unbelievable. You’ll make some of your younger nb viewers pleasantly surprised, and make the older ones who aren’t used to representation very happy. Then boom, no complaints. ### 5/5 — This is a perfect app for well, anyone! *2020-03-06, version 2.1.1* I have been drawing since I’ve come out of the womb but at times I find it extremely difficult to figure out what I’m going to draw. With this app it really gets my creative juices flowing. It challenges me in things I know I wouldn’t think of before hand. It is also just such a fun app in general! I would and will recommend this app to anyone and everyone who enjoys drawing extravagant things to doodlers! ## Frequently asked questions about Jazza's Arty Games ### What does Jazza's Arty Games do?
