# Art Map

## HOW TO USE ARTMAP?

<figure><img src="/files/Hp312o2YA0IUICQomLxi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To use ArtMap, you must first craft two main parts: **Easel** and **Canvas**. As shown in the photo above, to craft both materials, you will need materials such as sticks, leather, emeralds, empty maps, and more!

<figure><img src="/files/2EWbtDiSTAKfhIJzQsBO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After crafting both parts, you can place the **Easel** anywhere, at your base, clan house, or a rented stall! Right-click it with a Canvas once to activate it and then again to be seated at the easel and start drawing. Right-click again to stand up.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING**: To break an easel you can crouch and right-click it, but remember this may destroy any art you have on the easel. It will NOT save.
{% endhint %}

## **WHICH ITEMS CAN I USE TO PAINT?**

{% hint style="success" %}
There are two special tools: Feather and Coal. Feather lightens up the color while coal darkens it. This is how you achieve the 4 different shades of each color.
{% endhint %}

<table data-header-hidden data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th width="133"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Feather</td><td>Click on a color on the canvas to lighten it once. Functions like normal dye.</td></tr><tr><td>Coal</td><td>Click on a color on the canvas to darken it up to two times. Functions like normal dye.</td></tr><tr><td>Sponge</td><td>A dropper tool that picks up the color you click on. It will name the dye in chat. With the sponge, Right-Click to color a single pixel or Right-Click and drag to draw in lines.</td></tr><tr><td>Paint Bucket</td><td>Used to fill in an enclosed area. Hold the dye in your offhand and double-click the area with a bucket to fill it. Double Right-Click to undo. Works with sponges.</td></tr><tr><td>Compass</td><td>Hold and Left-Click to flip the canvas horizontally (left to right). Right-Click to flip it vertically (upside down).</td></tr></tbody></table>

## **HOW DO I SAVE AND SELL MY PAINTING?**

Hop on the easel where your painting is situated and type **/artmap save \[title]**! Doing so will give you an original copy of your painting or craft a **Paint Brush** and save your art!

<figure><img src="/files/p2MX34dd4SxOVjaUsVuO" alt=""><figcaption><p>Right-Click your canvas. A prompt will pop up to name your item after right clicking.</p></figcaption></figure>

To copy a painting, just put the painting along with an empty map in the crafting menu and it should give you two copies of it.

These paintings have a 'copyright' added so only you can produce and sell copies of your painting!&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE**: You can only copy your artwork, not other players' creations.
