Some of the essential tools that are usually used in drawing objects include:

Rectangle Tool

This tool is used to draw an object as a box. Two boxes can be generated, namely: a rectangular box and an equilateral box. the method of manufacture is as follows:

a. Click the rectangle tool in the toolbox.
b. Drag diagonally to the bottom right to make a square.
c. If you want to make an equilateral box, drag by pressing the button.

Ellipse Tool

Drawing with the drawing tool

Some of the tools that can be used to draw objects manually are:

1. Freehand Tools
   The workings of this tool are like pencil strokes on the surface of the paper. We can drag the mouse directly on the work page to create a free sketch line or click on a particular point to start the bar and click again at the next issue so that a line forms between the two points.
2. Bezier Tool
   The function of this tool is to make curves or curved lines quickly with the help of node points and control points at the ends of the curve. With this tool, the smoothness of the curve can be controlled according to the shape of the desired object.
3. Artistic Media Tool
   This facility is used to develop further the curves that have been made. The angles will have varied shapes using this facility so that we can establish these curves with more diverse creations. In the properties section, this tool has several other types of options that you can create, such as images and calligraphy.

Handle and Arrange Objects

1. Handles
   Handles are used to change the size or shape of an object. The handle is divided into several types: standard, skew and rotate.
2. Curve Editing
   A curve is an object that has nudes and control points, which function to make changes or manipulations to lines or outlines. Curves are also generated from the process of converting (convert to angle) text, rectangle (box), ellipse (circle), and other objects into curves.
