To your left at the very top is a little icon that looks like a paintbrush. It will give you a steady flow of color and is great for cartooning. Then below that is a feather pen. The line it makes is unsteady and random streak. This tool is great for a professional look. Under the feather pen is the pencil which gives you a thin, gray line, good for sketching. And under the pencil is the eraser, it only works with the white background. And then you have the large paint brush. Use it to cover large areas. And the last tool on the list is the magic marker. It will release a rainbow of color. Use it wisely. The two flashing red arrow below the magic marker are for changing the background. The paint pallet is used to change the color you are using. sometimes it does not work. keep clicking on the color you want until it is high-lighted. The X in the upper left corner will clear your screen and put the tool you have down.
