Middle:drawing convas The largest part of the screen, in the center, is the drawing canvas. Right Side: Selector Depending on the current tool, the selector shows different things. e.g., when the Paint Brush tool is selected, it shows the various brushes available. When the Rubber Stamp tool is selected, it shows the different shapes you can use. Lower: Colors A palette of available colors are shown near the bottom of the screen. Bottom: Help Area At the very bottom of the screen, Tux, the Linux Penguin, provides tips and other information while you draw.

Step-2

The Paint Brush tool lets you draw freehand, using various brushes (chosen in the Selector on the right) and colors (chosen in the Color palette towards the bottom). As you draw, a sound is played. The bigger the brush, the lower the pitch.
