ADDING LAYERS

                 When drawing a landscape in Sketchpad, you can use layers to add details and

                 keep your artwork organised. Each layer is like a separate sheet of paper, so you
                 can draw on one layer without affecting the others. In the layers panel, you'll see eye
                 icons next to each layer:

                   Visible eye icon: The layer is visible in your drawing.
                    Crossed-out eye icon: The layer is hidden, but still there. For example, if you're
                     working on the sky, you can hide the trees layer to focus on the sky.

                   Next to each layer, there’s three vertical dots. These three vertical dots also known
                 as hamburger icon. These dots give you options for each layer:

                    Send to Back: Moves the layer behind others (e.g., making the sky behind a
                     house).
                   Send to Front: Moves the layer slightly in front of another.

                   Send Backwards: Moves the layer all the way to the back (e.g., putting a tree in
                     the backside of a house).

                   Send Forwards: Moves the layer all the way to the front (e.g., putting a tree in
                     front of a house).
                   Duplicate: Makes a copy of the layer (e.g., adding a second tree).

                   Delete: Removes the layer.



                           ADDING ELEMENTS TO THE LANDSCAPE


                 After completing the background, the next step is to add the elements to your canvas,
                 like mountains, trees, the ground, the sun, and more. By adding these elements, you
                 can make your landscape beautiful.


                 ADDING SHAPES

                 You can use different shapes to add details
                 to your landscape. For example, you can use
                 a rectangle for the ground, a triangle for the

                 mountains, and a circle for the sun and more.
                 To draw ground, follow the given steps:

                 Step  1  Click on the Star tool.

                 Step  2   Click  on the  Choose Shape down
                          arrow. A sub-menu will appear.
