For example, you can draw the background on one layer, the characters on another,
and the details on a third layer. This way, if you make a mistake on one layer, you
don’t have to erase everything.
WHY LAYERS ARE IMPORTANT?
Layers are important because they help you keep your drawing organised and
make it easier to fix mistakes.
Easy to Edit: You can change one part of your drawing without changing the
other parts.
Organise Your Work: Layers help you keep different parts of your drawing
separate and neat.
Add Depth: Layers can make your artwork look more 3D and interesting.
Try Different Ideas: You can try new things on a new layer. If you don't like it, you
can erase just that layer without changing the rest of your drawing.
Make Changes Without Worrying: Layers let you move things around or hide
parts of your drawing if you don’t need them.
PLAYING WITH COLOURS
Colours are so much fun to use because they bring your drawings to life. In Sketchpad,
there are two Fill Tools that help you add beautiful colours, patterns, and gradients
to your artwork:
Vector Fill: The Vector Fill tool is used to apply a colour, gradient, or pattern to
a layer or even a part of your clipart. It helps create smooth, clean edges for a
perfect finish.
Pixel Fill: The Pixel Fill tool is used for filling colours in raster images. You can add
colours, gradients, or patterns, and you can adjust the tolerance to control how
the colour fills your picture.
COLOR PALETTE
The Color Palette is where you can choose all the colours for your drawing. It’s like
having a box of crayons on your computer. You can pick colours for your shapes,
lines, and backgrounds, or even mix different colours to create your own.
In Sketchpad, the colour palette has four types to make your artwork even more fun:
Color: Choose any colour you like from the palette.
Linear: Pick a gradient that blends one colour into another, like a rainbow.
