Draw together on the drawing board

Updated November 15, 2026 · 3 min read

On the drawing board in Design you draw at the same time as your team. Start from a ready-made template, build a scene with cameras, lights and stick figures, and link the drawing to the pipeline as a card.

Who it's for

Being a member of the project is enough.

To turn notes into tasks, you need to be the founder or a lead with the Tasks permission.

Open a new drawing

Open Design in the left column and press New drawing on the Drawings tab. Leave Scene kind on 2D board. Pick a template: Blank board, Core loop, State machine, Dialogue tree, Stick figure scene and more. Type the Drawing name and press Open board.

Draw together

Everyone who opens the same drawing is on the same board: the header shows how many people are in, and their pointers move on the board.

  • Present: everyone sees where you are looking; others press Follow to stay with you.
  • Comments: press Add comment, then click a spot on the board.
  • Invite: sends the drawing's link to the teammates you choose.

Place cameras, lights and stick figures

Open Game pieces from the palette (the G key works too). The Camera and light shelf has cameras seen from the side, top, front and in perspective; spot, soft, point, sun and area lights; and a ready three-point light setup. Choose the lens from the tag on top of a camera (14–200 mm).

Stick figures are in the hand-drawn library under Stick figure poses. Select one to change its Pose and Face left in the side panel.

Make it a pipeline card

Pick a stage from Place in Pipeline in the header: the drawing becomes a card on that stage's board, and people are assigned to the card. Choose Outside Pipeline to take the card away while the drawing stays in Design. Select sticky notes and press Turn into a task to make each one a task in the pipeline.

Tip

To take a drawing out, use Share: Save as PNG, Save as SVG or Copy as image.

Something went wrong?

Present and Comments don't work.

Both need a connection to the site. If yours keeps dropping, see connection problems.

I deleted the card in the pipeline and the drawing went too.

The card and the drawing are one: deleting the card deletes the drawing. To remove only the card, set the drawing's place to Outside Pipeline.
