Editing Draw Mode

[[File:DTL1DrawScreen.png|left|240x240px]][[File:DTL2DrawScreen.png|right|240x240px]]'''Draw Mode''' is the main creative element in the [[Drawn to Life series]], consisting of many different tools and features. Draw Mode automatically activates every time the player goes to edit a creation, draw an object, create a [[Hero]], or draw on the main start screen. 

In both games, the player may create up to three heroes, each with a custom name and appearance. Character creation also features fifteen pre-made character templates which can be traced or have their body parts swapped in by pressing the {{Icon|RButton}} button on the back of the DS.

Draw Mode utilizes the touch-screen capabilities of the Nintendo DS allowing for a more natural drawing experience, however, one may draw using the D-pad and A buttons if they desire. 

Creations made using Draw Mode may be traded with other players using a local Wi-Fi connection.


==Drawn to Life==
[[File:DTL_Toolbox.png|right]]
In Drawn to Life, the player can use 8 different tools and 25 colors for their creations. The player may use, in order, 3 brush sizes, a standard flood-fill bucket, an eraser (which is also affected by the size of the pen), a color-locking tool, stamps, a one-action undo button, and a clear button. Despite not being placed within the toolbox and on the canvas itself, the player may also zoom into their drawings and activate the grid by tapping the magnifying glass or by pressing the {{Icon|B Button}} button.

Despite being limited to 25 colors, the player may unlock up to 11 more color palettes by finding [http://drawntolife.wikia.com/wiki/Secrets#Pattern secrets] in levels. Stamps and color palettes may be purchased in the shop after the corresponding secret has been found.
