Hi,

I saw your post about that digital art website. I got there and literally, I have absolutely no idea how to use it. I don’t really use any digital art websites/apps so if you could explain it as simply as you can that would be great! :)

Rectange= Works same as circle tool but creates a rectangle or square

Line= Works same as circle tool but creates a line


Fill= Click in a rectangle, square or an area made from lines to fill in the area (if the is a gap in any of the lines a small rectangle will pop up in the top right corner saying "There is no gap to fill." )

Colours= The 2 circles next to all the tools at the top are to change colours, click on one then click on the colour you want you circle, rectangle, line or fill bucket to be. The left one is fill.and the right one is stroke ( for lines and fills you will always want to set both circles to each be the same colour

Assets and bulletin assets= Click the plus to choose a bulletin asset and click upload to upload you own small drawing done on stuff like MS Paint, Paint 3D or Paint.net (you can upload audio as well, multiple items at once) and the click on the asset you want on your canvas then click add to canvas

It does this for the entire layer of everything in the layer in the frame
