How?

Take your time to draw slowly and clearly. Works for all kinds of shapes, but is particularly useful for things like triangles, squares and circles.

What can I customize?

In the Main Toolbox:

Pen width

Default = Fine line

Change the Pen width with the slider, or select a preset width, to create thicker lines.

 

Color

Default = Black

Change the color by selecting another one from the Color Palette.

 

In the 'User Input' section of Settings:
