Tips & Best Practices

Use undo liberally: The editor supports up to 50 undo steps, so experiment freely without fear of making irreversible mistakes.
Adjust opacity for effects: Lower brush opacity creates watercolor-like effects and allows layering of transparent strokes.
Fill shapes after drawing: Draw a shape outline first, then use the Fill tool to add solid color while keeping the original outline visible.
Use the Select tool to reposition: If an element is not in the right place, switch to Select and drag it rather than erasing and redrawing.
Set background color first: Choose your background color before starting your artwork, as changing it later affects the entire canvas.
Export at high quality: The PNG export uses 2x resolution, so your artwork will look sharp even when viewed at larger sizes.
