Vectors & sketches

Two ways to draw freeform on the canvas. Both are real SVG.

Vectors

Precise paths you control point by point.

A vector path with a point selected and its bezier handles out

  • Press P for the path tool, then drop one point at a time and close it.
  • Re-select to edit — drag a point to move it, or drag its bezier handles to curve the segments around it.
  • Rectangles (R), ovals (O), and triangles (⇧T) are vectors too.
  • The properties panel gives you full SVG control over points, curves, fill, and stroke.

Sketches

Freehand drawings, like sketching with a pen. Sketches have their own set of tools.

A freehand "Hello" sketched on the canvas

  • Press K to start a sketch, then draw freely — the line follows your hand.
  • Strokes are pressure-sensitive, so thickness follows how hard you press.
  • Set the stroke color in the properties panel.
