Use Sumo Paint

Drawing can be fun and relaxing. Drawing online can be too, but it is, obviously, quite different from doing it with a pencil. Sumo Paint is one place you can go to do that. Look around and see all of the possibilities.

Steps

  1. Go to Sumo Paint.
    • You don't have to subscribe to draw.
  2. Be sure that you have Flash Player v. 10.
  3. Start experimenting with the various brushes and effects. This flower was created by using the symmetry tool.
  4. Use the different shapes tool and the mouse to add different shapes.
  5. Use the selection tool (magic wand) to select parts of your design that you want to make changes to. If you want to select more than one non-contiguous piece, then click on the + tool while the wand is selected.
  6. Investigate the layering capabilities of Sumo Paint. The layers support the following features: Opacity, Blend mode, Hide, Duplicate, Rotate, Merge Visible, Merge Down, Flatten, Delete, Bring to Front, Send to Back, Move Up and Move Down.
  7. Learn about effects that you can use with the layers: Drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, bevel, cover overlay and stroke.
  8. Check out the multiple shape tools. They all support shape trails and shape effect properties. The options that you will find with this tool is line opacity, line diameter, and fill opacity. Symmetric shape tools include the option to change the number of points (sides).
  9. Experiment with the brush tool. Some of the things that you can do with brushes are changing diameter, opacity, and flow fa.ues. Also, you can change scattering, random rotation, gravity and blend modes. Some effects are smoothing, bevel, wet edges and ink.
  10. Use the ink tool for realistic ink impressions.
  11. Look at the text tool. This allows you to use True Type Fonts (*.ttf) that are on your computer. You can also change the scale, rotation and skew of the text.
  12. Learn about all the fun that can be had using the various tools.
