Steps

to your Animal Jam account. To create a masterpiece, you will need to be logged in to your account. Create an account if you don't have one already.
2
Earn a masterpiece token or 25 sapphires. A masterpiece token will allow you to create a masterpiece at no additional cost, and it can be received through trading, the Sapphire Store, or seasonal events. Without a masterpiece token, making a masterpiece into a den item will cost 25 sapphires.
- On Animal Jam Classic, members can use two diamonds to purchase their masterpiece as a den item rather than 25 sapphires.

Go to the Art Studio in Coral Canyons. In Coral Canyons, which can be located on the world map, there is an art studio in which masterpieces can be created. Go to this studio and locate the easel.
- The "Painting" game can also be accessed from the Games menu.
- Alternatively, you can purchase a Painter's Easel for two diamonds at the Diamond Shop, Epic Wonders, or the Art Studio if playing Animal Jam Classic.
4
Click the easel. There should be an easel in the Coral Canyons Art Studio which you can click to start your masterpiece. Select the game controller icon that appears by the easel to begin.
- Or, if you have purchased a Painter's Easel on Animal Jam Classic, place it in your den and click it.
5

Select Play . A pop-up for the "Painting" game will appear. Read through the directions if you wish and click the green button to open the game.
6
Decide what you wish to draw. Consider what you have drawn in the past or any animals or objects you are familiar with drawing. Decide on what the subject of your drawing will be based on what you're interested in.
- Consider what would and would not be approved by the Animal Jam Headquarters. Every masterpiece, before becoming a tradeable den item, goes through moderation, which may take up to a week. The Animal Jam Headquarters will review your masterpiece and send you a Jam a Gram saying whether or not it was approved. If it's not approved, you should be refunded.
7

Choose colors for your masterpiece. Once you decide on a subject for your artwork, consider color options. You will be given eight demo colors to choose from, but you are welcome to select one of them and replace it with a custom color by clicking the palette and finding a new color. Try to select and save all of your colors beforehand so you don't have to stop drawing to create a new color.
8
Understand what all of the tools do. There are 14 tools you can use while creating your masterpiece. These tools are located underneath the color options.
- The dump bucket icon fills in an entire section of canvas with a single color.
- The spray paint icon allows you to airbrush on the canvas.
- The pencil icon draws a line on the canvas.
- The paintbrush icon allows you to paint on the canvas.
- The circle outline icon helps you draw a circle on the canvas.
- The square outline icon lets you draw a square or rectangle on the canvas.
- The triangle outline icon draws a triangle on the canvas.
- The rhombus outline icon allows you to draw a rhombus on the canvas.
- The black heart icon creates a line of hearts on the canvas.
- The black star icon makes a line of stars on the canvas.
- The black paw icon draws a line of pawprints on the canvas.
- The black square icon creates a line of squares on the canvas.
- The moving paw icon lets you blend two or more colors.
- The dropper icon allows you to sample a color you have already used.
9

Choose your brush size. Under the tool icons, you should see several different sized black dots. These allow you to change your brush size. Choose which brush size you wish to start with and change it as needed throughout your drawing.
10
Know what to do in the case of a mistake. If you make a mistake while drawing your masterpiece, there are ways to undo it. Select the "undo" arrow icon located underneath the brush sizes to undo your last edit. Click it again to restore the edit.
- Unfortunately, you cannot go back further than one edit. If you would like to change something made longer than one edit ago, you would need to go over the mistake in your background color and redraw it. You can also choose to clear the entire drawing by selecting the recycling bin icon in this case.
11
Create your masterpiece. After deciding what to draw and what colors and brush sizes you will be using, start drawing! Take as much time as you need to complete your masterpiece.
- If you have existing masterpiece drafts saved, you can choose to load and edit an existing one by selecting the icon that appears as a drawer of files.
12

Sign your painting. Some users choose to sign their masterpieces, writing their username or a shorter version of their username in the corner of the canvas. Consider signing your artwork if you choose.
13

Save your work. Once you're finished with your artwork, select the icon near the bottom of the screen that appears as a drawer of files. This will allow you to save your masterpiece to your computer.
14

Click the picture frame icon. After finishing your masterpiece, select this button to create an item for you to display in your den.
15

Choose a frame. Select a frame for your masterpiece from the menu provided. Once you decide which frame you'd like, click on it.
16

Verify your purchase. Decide whether you will pay with a masterpiece token or 25 sapphires and verify that you wish to create your masterpiece as a den item. Read through the masterpiece rules to get a good understanding of whether or not your masterpiece will make it through moderation.
17

Wait for your masterpiece to moderate. Moderation may take up to a week, but the Animal Jam Headquarters will get back to you once your masterpiece is reviewed and tell you whether or not it was approved in a Jam a Gram.
18

Place the item in your den. Once approved, your masterpiece will become a painting that you can display in your den. If you choose, select the item from your inventory and place it in your den.
19
Consider trading your masterpiece. Another option you have is to trade your masterpiece. You can add it to your trade list for others to see and request trading for, or you can choose to keep it for yourself.
- Additionally, you can choose to add the masterpiece to your trade list without trading it. If you would like others to view your work, this is an excellent way to display it. If someone requests a trade for it, you are welcome to decline their offer and explain that the artwork is simply on display and not for trade.
- Note that only masterpieces that have made it through the moderation process can be added to a user's trade list.

The masterpiece token works the same way no matter which version of Animal Jam you're playing. You should be able to use it to turn your masterpiece into a den item. As a member, you could instead use 25 sapphires to make the purchase.
