How to load it
Pick your own avatar in the loader — it is always available and always accurate.
Why paint it
The fastest way to learn the canvas, and the game suggests it in its own description. New players already post self-portraits.
How to Paint Celebrities, Friends & Yourself in Paint your Friends (August 2026)
The whole game is built around one question: whose avatar goes on your canvas? Pick your subject below, then walk the painting.
Quick answer
Painting celebrity icons, friends, and famous YouTubers all starts with the avatar loader: pick a subject, then paint the numbered template. Paint yourself, a friend, or a celebrity icon — every option works the same way on the canvas. Claim a plot, open the avatar loader, and choose who to paint — yourself, a friend, or a celebrity icon. The loader turns that avatar into a numbered template, and you paint it block by block like any other canvas. Details checked 2026-08-03.
Choose your subject
Three ways to fill the canvas
A friend
How to load it
Choose a friend's avatar from the loader the same way. We're still confirming whether any username works or only Roblox friends.
Why paint it
Painting each other is the social heart of the game — up to 8 players paint side by side in one server.
A celebrity
How to load it
Pick a celebrity icon from the loader. There is no confirmed list of who is available, so check in-game first.
Why paint it
The most recognizable finished painting you can show off — players are already posting famous-YouTuber paintings.
Then paint it — same walk for every subject
Watch the template appear
The loaded avatar becomes a numbered grid on your canvas.
Fill matching colors
Each number is one color. Block by block, the face shows up.
Finish and share
Completed paintings earn a badge and save automatically. The game promises sharing — the exact share feature is still being confirmed.
If you get stuck
- A subject will not load: Try your own avatar first; loading eligibility rules are still being pinned down.
- You cannot find a specific celebrity: There is no confirmed list of paintable celebrities, so check the loader in-game instead of trusting name lists.
- Painted blocks look wrong: Each block must match its number's color — see the color-by-number explainer in How to Play.
Mistakes to skip
- Trusting 'celebrity lists' from other sites: None exist for this game yet — anything claiming one is guessing. We never list named celebrity availability as fact.
- Giving up when a subject will not load: Try your own avatar first; eligibility rules are still being pinned down.
- Confusing this with paint-code games: There are no codes here — just pick a subject and paint.
