UCD theorists place the user at the center of all stages of the product development process. From this perspective, in recent years a transformation based on analyzing the user's needs and the search for satisfaction has been consolidated, by adjusting to a process in which the following key factors are essential: 1. Understand and know the final user 2. Design a product that meets their needs, according to their motivations and expectations 3. Test the product to evaluate the experience had during its use [1]. Based on this methodology, which frames an integral procedure of the design process, we approach this research that is based on the design of a game for artistic creation. The starting point is the need to rekindle the connection between human relationships with the interaction between the game and art, putting into practice the use of this methodology to empathize and learn from the user. We start from the medium of painting, to create a product/service that the user can use with the aim of having fun and expanding their artistic knowledge of colour, composition, and psychomotor skills.
