A painted area meets an uncolored area - Allow adding to the image without erasing earlier work. - [Chicory: A Colorful Tale](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1123450/) ## How it works The player complements, corrects or transforms an existing drawing. ## Variants ### Variants and applications - Completion of the pass. Rule: Restore the missing part of the image so that it becomes whole. Criterion: Integrity. Example status: Design pattern. - Completing the silhouette. Rule: Complete the open boundary and obtain the required closed shape. Criterion: Shape. Example status: Design pattern. - Symmetrical finishing. Rule: Complete the drawing relative to an axis, center or other specified symmetry. Criterion: Symmetry. Example status: Design pattern. - Transformation doodle. Rule: Include random strokes suggested in a recognizable image. Criterion: The meaning of the image. Example status: Design pattern. - Correction of the drawing. Rule: Change erroneous lines or parts to meet the requirements of the task. Criterion: Compliance. Example status: Design pattern. - Image restoration. Rule: Restore damaged lines and paint layer, preserving the original design. Criterion: Similarity and safety. Example status: Design pattern. - Erasing excess. Rule: Remove only interfering elements and reveal the correct picture or answer. Criteria: Select removal. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing with negative space. Rule: Create the desired image by erasing or preserving the unpainted area. Criterion: Figure and background. Example status: Design pattern. ## Context and limits The author's working classification of mechanics in which the player creates or changes an image, line, outline or stroke, and the game uses the result. Does not claim to be a closed universal list. Catalog unit: player action, drawing interpretation and result. Related options are separated when the rule or outcome criterion changes. A design pattern means that the specific game example in that directory is untested; This is not a statement about the primacy, prevalence or absence of such games. ## Connected materials ## Sources and provenance Original editorial design catalog consolidated from project discussions on 2026-10-20.
