Not to be confused with canon games' Draw Mode.
Draw Mode is the main creative mode in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii), consisting of many different tools and features like the rest of the series. Draw Mode automatically activates every time the player goes to edit or draw an object next to a Canvas, and create or edit the Hero at the start. Character creation also features 30 pre-made character templates - two of which are exclusive to the Raposa Sports mode, and three unlocked via an unknown cheat.
As this game was released on the Wii, rather than utilizing proper drawing controls like the canon games and Drawn to Life: SpongeBob SquarePants Edition, Draw Mode utilizes the Wiimote's pointer to determine where the cursor will draw on the screen. This was a point of criticism between critics and fans alike, as these controls made it harder to properly create something. Planet Moon Studios attempted to rectify this, however, with additional drawing features within both the mode itself and the stage gameplay via Action Drawing.
Main Mode[edit]
The player can use a variety of different tools and palettes comprising of 18 colors for their creations. These include an adjustable brush, a standard paint bucket tool, an eraser (which is also affected by the size of the pen), an undo and redo button, a stamp tool, a resize meter, and a shape forming tool. When creating a Hero, the player is also able to utilize grid-based drawing by zooming in all the way, paste templates and move the placement of limbs.
Despite being limited to 18 colors, the player may unlock 8 more color palettes by finding them within levels and buying them from Isaac's Shop.

- This is the only Draw Mode in the entire Drawn to Life Series to have a shape-forming tool.
- This Draw Mode also has no Clear All button, instead an Erase Area button.
- There is no tutorial on adding templates, moving limbs or undoing/redoing a change.
- The Wiimote pointer's sensitivity for this Draw Mode is able to be altered to fit the player's ability; however, they can only access it through the pause menu, as there is no option to adjust it manually within Draw Mode itself.
