Install Drawing on Raspberry Pi

Drawing

Simple program used to hand-draw png images.

To run: Menu -> Graphics -> Drawing
To run in terminal: drawing

Note: This serves a different purpose than Microsoft Paint. If you want a Paint-style tool, install Kolourpaint:
sudo apt install kolourpaint

Fortunately, Drawing is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

  1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
  2. Use Pi-Apps to install Drawing.

Compatibility

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Bookworm.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Drawing will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
