Drawing

The tools you draw, write and mark with — and the two things they share: colour, and layers.

  • Brushes

    The nineteen brushes, how to switch, straight lines, size on the fly.

  • Brush settings

    Brush Properties: size, opacity, flow, hardness, pressure, speed, tip, texture — and saving your own brushes.

  • Colour

    The hue ring, the Pick Color window, fourteen palettes, recent colours and the eyedropper.

  • The colour library

    Ctrl+Space: your palette, round the pen.

  • Highlight

    A see-through marker that never hides the text.

  • Eraser

    Size, hardness, and what happens to shapes and text.

  • Shapes

    Rectangles, triangles, ellipses, arrows and lines that stay editable.

  • Text

    Typing on the screen, and editing it later.

  • Selection and transform

    Move, scale, rotate, recolour, copy and delete what you drew.

  • Layers

    Keep different kinds of work apart.
