Setting the Canvas
Set up the canvas that you’ll draw on.
ChooseCanvasfrom the top of the program to get started.
Activate a transparent canvas so that the background blends in with the surrounding colors.
Do this with theTransparent canvastoggle.
This is optional, but it avoids a final product with a white background.
By default, the canvas is measured in percentage form and is set at100% by 100%.
Change those values to whatever you like, or selectPercentto change the values toPixelslike what’s shown above.
The small lock icon below the values can toggle an option that locks the aspect ratio.
When locked, the two values will always be the same.
Two of these options include asharpedge andsoftedge tool.
The third tool, tube brush, lets you create ribbons of 3D volume, or donut-like shapes.
Drawing With the Sharp Edge Tool
Select thesharp edgetool and then pick a color for the object.
Draw a simple circle to start.
As you draw, your starting point illuminates with a small blue circle.
Combine both techniques into one as you’re drawing the model.
Every tool moves the object differently.
One will push it back and forth against the background canvas.
The others will rotate or spin the model in whichever direction you need.
The eight small boxes surrounding the object are useful too.
Hold and drag one of those to see how it affects the model.
The top and bottom squares affect the size in that direction, letting you flatten the object.
That’s when the soft edge tool comes into play.
Drawing With the Soft Edge Tool
Local and select thesoft edgetool from the3D shapesmenu.
Choose a color for the model.
