Click and drag in the white canvas area to draw. | INTRODUCTION Using Paint, you can create lines, curves, rectangles, polygons, ovals, circles, and rounded rectangles. To draw a circle, square, or straight line, hold down the Shift key as you use the Ellipse, Rectangle , or Line tool. | TIP Draw Shapes Freehand You can draw freehand shapes, much as you would with a pencil or pen. Click the Pencil tool, move the pointer into the drawing area, and drag the pencil icon to draw. | TIP Color an Existing Shape Select the Fill with Color tool, click the color you want to use, and then click inside the shape you want to paint. If color spills outside the area you intended to fill, that probably means you tried to fill an area that was not closed. | |
