The above images show the different ways of creating images with Tux Paint.   

# The first image shows you how to draw freehand. You can use the brush tool, select the kind of brush from the selector, and draw freehand.  By choosing from the color palette, you can also make a color sketch. For more fun, you can also listen to sounds as you draw. The bigger the brush, the lower the pitch.  You can, of course, mute the sound.

# The second and third images show shapes unfilled and filled in different colors.  In addition to freehand, Tux Paint allows you to select pre-defined shapes and stamps to use in your creation.  This makes the tool quite versatile.  You can select the shapes tool and select the kind of shape from the right hand side selector panel. For example, select 'rectangle' shape, draw a rectangle with drag (press left click and keep pressed) and drop (release left click), if you didn't keep press mouse and release, it will  keep moving. Press and release is required to complete the drawing.

#It is possible to make simple animations with the pictures you created. In the first step, shown in the first image, you can use Tux Paint to create a series of images you want to build the animation with. For example, draw the life stages of a plant and you can start with a seed being blown from a mature plant. You can add as many images as you want to tell your story.  Each time you can make  slight changes to each drawing to create the idea of animation.
