That's when the soft edge tool comes into play.Creating with clay and painting on canvas- it just doesn’t get any better than that! In this camp, your child will get to experiment with many different types of art while learning simple step-by-step painting and clay techniques. The sharp edge 3D doodle is great for objects that need to be extended, but not so ideal for rounded effects. If you click and drag on the object itself without using those buttons, you're able to move it around the canvas in a conventional 2D manner. The left and right squares can make a small object much longer or shorter, which is useful when making true 3D effects. The top and bottom squares affect the size in that direction, letting you flatten the object. The four corners resize the object, making it larger or smaller depending on if you pull the box in or out. Hold and drag one of those to see how it affects the model.

The eight small boxes surrounding the object are useful too. The others will rotate or spin the model in whichever direction you need. One will push it back and forth against the background canvas. When the object is finished, it will remain only slightly 3D until you begin using the tools that automatically show up around the object when you click it. No matter how you do it, always end up back where you started-at the blue circle-to complete the drawing. Combine both techniques into one as you're drawing the model. Click and drag for freehand, or click once and then move to a different location and click again to make a straight line. As you draw, your starting point illuminates with a small blue circle.

Select the sharp edge tool and then pick a color for the object.ĭraw a simple circle to start.
