    ADDING TEXT

                                                                    The Text tool allows you to type text in the
                                                                    drawing  area  or  canvas. To  use  the  Text

                                                                    tool, follow the given steps:

                                                                    Step  1  Select the Text Tool.

                                                                    Step  2   Select the font style, size, colour and
                                                                             alignment you want for your text.

                                                                    Step  3   Click on the Canvas or drawing area
                                                                             and type text in the text box.

                               WHAT ARE LAYERS?

                     Layers are like pieces of clear paper stacked on top of each other in your drawing.

                     Each layer can have different parts of your artwork. You can draw, color, or add text
                     on different layers without messing up other parts of your drawing.

                     You can also add a new layer, hide or show layers, or delete a layer using the options
                     in the layers section.

                     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.

                               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:

                     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.

                                                                                                Techipedia (Sketchpad)  129
