Starby Art

Digital art with a mythic edge

A free browser drawing studio with 235+ brushes, layers, Paint For Me, reusable stamps, proof replay, and a workflow made for artists.

Paint For Me

Press one button and watch color arrive in layers.

Paint For Me is not AI. It is a digital math function inside the app: it reads line edges, finds paint regions, applies color palettes, and builds editable flats, shadow, and light layers while keeping the artist's lines visible.

No image generation. No prompt model. No AI training. Just canvas math helping artists start the coloring stage faster.

Find Your Creative Flow

Sketch, ink, color, render, save, and prove your process.

Starby Art is built around the path artists actually follow. Start loose, clean the drawing, add color, build light and shadow, save your work, then share proof that the art came from your hand.
