Intro

With your image selected (Ipaint Basic Guide 3), it’s time to set up your Ipaint parameters and preview the outline for your paint-by-numbers artwork. This guide walks you through configuring settings and checking the outline to ensure a perfect fit on your canvas.


Step 1: Parameter Settings

In the LOKLiK app, click Make in the top-right corner and select Paint by Number. Choose your Paint Set (5 colors or 48 colors), then click Generate to create the digital draft. Once generated, tap Hide Image to view the outline. Click Next, select your Brush (heat-erasable pen), Substrate (Canvases, Canvas Panel, or Stretched Canvas), and Canvas Size. Adjust the image size to match your canvas dimensions as needed.


Step 2: Outline Preview

Tap Pen Down to test the pen’s depth, ensuring the tip just touches the canvas. Then, click Preview to check if the pattern fits the surface. The machine will trace the image’s edges, showing where it will paint on the canvas. If everything looks good, click Add to Task to proceed.
