Select Language:

Paralives allows you to start fresh with a new home and build a family from scratch. You have full control over every choice, from the appearance of your characters to how they behave and interact with their environment. What will you decide to do?

The first step is creating your family, then helping them develop skills to succeed. One of the most fun skills to improve is the art skill, which offers many uses. Here’s what you need to know to boost this skill so your characters can become skilled artists.

Note: Paralives is still in Early Access, so details may change. Updates to this guide may be made as needed.

What Is the Art Skill?

The art skill is the main skill that covers all artistic activities in Paralives. Improving this skill helps your characters learn other art-related skills faster. To get better at art, your characters need to focus, since they won’t gain points when they’re in a bad mood or sick. Practicing related activities can help boost multiple skills at once.

You can also increase your art skill by reading books, studying online, or dreaming about art, provided you have unlocked the relevant perk through your storyteller.

How To Increase the Painting Skill

To improve painting, you need an easel, which can be bought from the build/buy menu under hobby items. Once placed in your home, you can start creating paintings of portraits or abstract art.

Note: Creating art costs money for supplies like canvases. As your skill improves, you’ll unlock the ability to make more types of paintings. Completed artworks can be displayed or sold to earn money.

You can also buy a children’s coloring set for a simpler way to draw, but note that it won’t produce displayable art.
