5 Fun Ways to Use DRAW | Canva's FREE Drawing Tool Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 let me show you five creative ways to use the draw feature in canva to add some hand-drawn elements to your designs from playful Doodles that will add a bit of fun to your presentations to whiteboard sketches that breathe life into your ideas or even going full on Picasso with hand-drawn fonts the draw tool is your secret weapon so let's get cracking in canva and explore how this extraordinary tool can help you stand out
• 00:30 - 01:00 what is up everyone Ronnie here welcome back to the channel today we are talking about the draw tool feature in canva and what we can do with it how we can use it creatively to enhance our designs one thing I have noticed is that when you use hand-drawn elements in any design it injects a bit of your personality in that design generating emotions for the viewers and these emotions create a more personal connection with your audience so that is exactly what I will be trying
• 01:00 - 01:30 to do today I want to inject some of my personality into my designs to generate these emotions and therefore deeper connect with my audience with the people who will discover these visual designs I will also use the draw tool to pull the attention of my audience to specific elements in my designs to quickly sketch up some ideas but most importantly what I'm trying to achieve here is to create a memorable visual identity a style that people will remember so that being said
• 01:30 - 02:00 let's jump into canva and discover the first way of using the draw tool foreign canva and I just created an Instagram post document okay so that is the one by one aspect ratio I'm gonna reduce the size of this and I do have my iPad right here I'm going to combine the two because it is way more practical to hand draw in canva with the tool feature if
• 02:00 - 02:30 you do have an apple pencil or some sort of pencil and tablet okay so since I do have one I'm gonna be using it but again if you don't have one it's fine you can still follow along and do everything with your mouse or with your trackpad or even with your finger if you're using your phone alright so let's see how the draw tool can spice up our typography in order to do this well I kind of need some typography going on all right so I am going to be using the text tab right here on this object panel and from here
• 02:30 - 03:00 you can find a couple of pre-made text combinations so for the sake of this I'm going to be using this one the first one that I'm going to be using first typography is this combo right here so it's made out of two different fonts I'm going to ungroup this and only keep that bold typeface right here I'm going to make that slightly bigger okay so let's say that is your text right here so next what I'm going to do is to open this exact same design right here on my iPad so I probably should give this a title I
• 03:00 - 03:30 would call this my drawing playground okay growing playground okay drawing playground I'm Gonna Save that I'm going to refresh here on the iPad okay now that it is renamed I can easily open that same design right here on the iPad so I have the same text right here the first thing I want to show you is to Simply locate the draw tool which is right here on the object panel this time
• 03:30 - 04:00 it should be under the uploads tab okay so I'm going to tap on it and what we see here from my iPad is that I have different tools okay the first one I have is some sort of a thin marker then I do have a thicker marker then I have a highlighter okay so it's kind of like a pen a marker and a highlighter then the next tool this one right here is the Eraser the Eraser will be useful to erase the previous stroke you made with
• 04:00 - 04:30 either your pen your marker or your highlighter it's as simple as that if you touch it with the Eraser it will be gone then we have a little cursor which indicates you coming back to your normal cursor which is pretty handy to be able to switch back and forth between your pens and your cursor then you have a color button that works with any other color button in canva if you are a canva pro user or if you have created a custom palette then you will have access to these brand fonts right here which is
• 04:30 - 05:00 quite handy as well and then the last button is the weight of your stroke okay so you have three different weight very thin which is at four point by default world you have kind of like middle which is 12 point and then you have a thicker one which is currently at 36 and you have a transparency slider that allows you to make your stroke more or less transparent all right that is very well so let's just notice that if I tap here on the brand Hub we can see that I'm using my team run the 2023 brand kit
• 05:00 - 05:30 okay so that is important to mention because this will give me access to my brand colors even from the drawer tool right here so the first thing I'm going to do I'm going to be using the marker the second one change the color to my branded pink right here and then tap on the stroke to make that to my desired thickness okay so 12 let's bump this to 20. okay good now I'm gonna tap on my marker again let's say I want to
• 05:30 - 06:00 highlight the word tasty here so what I could do is simply underline it like so with my pen right here okay now if I come back to my computer one very simple thing I can do is I see if I click on this element that I just created on my iPad I can do different things I can change its color could have that blue yellow or whatever color but I could also play around with the position okay the position button if I bring in the layers and I can maybe drag that to be underneath the word
• 06:00 - 06:30 tasty alright next thing I could do I could select everything right here and group them so now I have this one group of elements that carries both my typography and my hand-drawn doodle hand drawn I would say highlighting or underlying of that particular word so this allows me to bring the attention of people to this particular word and it gives a feeling of yeah this has been
• 06:30 - 07:00 made by hand it's not like an element in canva though some elements looked like that they look similar to this underlying but you can really go very personal with this okay you can use your brand colors you can use your style of stroke okay so this is the first thing I wanted to show you let me add a page right here and scroll down right here on my iPad I really love to be able to play with both the iPad and the computer to design with ease in canva in this tool so the second thing I want to show you
• 07:00 - 07:30 is how you can customize your fonts by drawing some little Doodles around them so again I will need a font this time I'm just going to come to my preset fonts right here my branded fonts use this one and simply write Randy okay I'm gonna make that quite bigger and Center that in the middle of my page okay so arrange Center Middle alright so I have my base my typography that I want to enhance created on the computer now
• 07:30 - 08:00 let me jump back to the iPad right here and start having fun with this this time I'm going to be using the pen right here the first one and I'm going to change that color to Pink and then play around with the weight of my stroke I want something smaller this time maybe six okay I think six will do so with my first pen selected and my pencil in my hand I'm just going to start having fun with this word Randy okay I'm going to draw some little antennas here I'm going
• 08:00 - 08:30 to draw little shoes like so I can do some sort of like footprint right here little Smiley in the eye and have a bigger eye so something like this guys one thing you should know is that I absolutely cannot draw I have never been able to draw and I probably will never be able to draw so being able to design with a digital platform like canva has been a blessing for me because I really suck at drawing
• 08:30 - 09:00 as you can see now back to the design let me actually erase that last part with the eye so erasing is very simple I'm just going to select the Eraser right here and I'm going to touch every single stroke that I designed around the dot of the eye now back to my pen let's try something else let's try something a little bit more yeah something like that and maybe some smoke here because my eye is taking off
• 09:00 - 09:30 all right so that is a little bit better still not great at design but what can we do I think we are going to leave it here I think you do get the point you can pretty much take any font write anything in canva in any typography that you want to choose and then start adding a layer of hand-drawn doodles to it to really make it fun make it personalized you can play around with different colors for example if I come back to my computer after drawing on the iPad I can
• 09:30 - 10:00 see that every stroke is actually a separate element you see all of these Strokes are separate elements and what I like about them is that I can't even change their colors for example if I want to change the colors of these two shoes right here without changing the color of my actual fonts I can select them and then change the color make them blue similarly these three guys right here can make them black or I could make them purple if I want to wander away from my visual branding which I probably
• 10:00 - 10:30 shouldn't but if I want to stay on brand I could keep playing with this blue and with this pink now these guys right here and the smoke effect of the eye kind of like taking off like a rocket didn't turn out that great let's admit it so I'm just going to delete all of that and simply keep this one right here I can group that and now I have this as an element I could insert that in a design in a presentation in anything that you like this is just an example of what you
• 10:30 - 11:00 could do I count on you to draw better than me and to be slightly more creative than I am I am using these childish examples to kind of show you the field of possibilities to awaken your curiosity and your willingness to jump in there and try it for yourself and now that we've warmed up with these two designs let's push things one step further I would like to try and customize some font all right so for this one I'm just going to create a new text box and search for a specific font
• 11:00 - 11:30 okay I want something round so I'm going to type in round here and let's go for wedges okay this is going to look great I'm going to write my name Ronnie actually let's just write wrong that would be enough to customize three letters so you get the point but not gonna spend too much time on this okay so this is what I want to customize and you can have fun with this so you could just go with your effects and go for
• 11:30 - 12:00 example outline start customizing from here or like in my case the first thing I'm going to do is to add a bit of more spacing not between the line but between the letters so like so and I'm going to turn this to my pink color right here again I'm Gonna Bump this up a bit make this slightly bigger and now it's good I can pick it up from my pad grab my pencil and start having fun with this so
• 12:00 - 12:30 this time I'm going to select my thin pen again but instead of pink I'm going to be using white okay my stroke six seems good maybe let's go 10 actually okay whites so the first thing I'm going to do is to try and create some sort of like shiny effect on the R so I could do something like that yeah or should actually be here something like that
• 12:30 - 13:00 I don't know you kind of see like if the light was coming from one spot and you want to have this little shiny spots so that would be one thing we can do okay I'm gonna erase these come back I'm just hitting the back arrow I want to show you something else like you could really customize these letters let's go Frankenstein on these and create some sort of a patchwork effect like so [Music]
• 13:00 - 13:30 so that would be one way of customizing these letters okay all right let's try something else on the o right here I could draw some little hearts oh that's cute all right so little hearts very cute and something even different on the r i could have some lines go like this kind of consistent try to go all the way till the end
• 13:30 - 14:00 something like that so this is just another way you can have fun with your typography you start with a normal font and then you come in with the draw tool and start tweaking them so some more examples of these that I found on the internet could be something like this so you can really start having fun with your fonts so hopefully these will inspire you and you will try replicating them using that technique I just showed you alright my friends I think it's time
• 14:00 - 14:30 we move on to the second way you can use the draw tool creatively [Music] the second way I want to show you you could use the draw tool is to create personalized backgrounds so if you are an avid viewer of our Channel and a solid fan of Team Randy you might remember some of our custom elements and our custom backgrounds we have this blue one right here we have backgrounds like
• 14:30 - 15:00 this one stuff like this you know these are kind of like custom backgrounds that us with our team have created so I want to show you how you can achieve similar results similar level of customization of your background using the draw tool all right so the first thing we are going to do still in our Instagram post right here we can do this in any kind of document really but since this one is right here and it's open let's go ahead and create some other things right here the first thing I'm going to do is to
• 15:00 - 15:30 select a color Okay so let's go for yellow let's go for this one pink and the blue one so we have our three branded colors alright so now grabbing my pen I'm going to start drawing some lines and drawing some nice little hand-drawn patterns on these colored backgrounds so I'm going to select my white color this time with my marker the thicker marker so I'm going to change this to White and my stroke needs to be quite big this time so let's try it yeah
• 15:30 - 16:00 that's kind of big enough I'm gonna delete this and come back all right so the first thing I want to do is this wavy background so I'm gonna just start making waves like so all right so once you have created a couple of Strokes you can come back to your computer I'm going to select them all I'm gonna make that slightly bigger okay kind of like that and I'm going to add some transparency to this I'm gonna
• 16:00 - 16:30 reduce the slider maybe all the way to 35 yeah until I get something like that okay if I want to create that even more like bigger lines or smaller lines it's really up to me I can play with the size of these Strokes once I'm happy with them I can keep them here and there we go we have a first custom background now let's scroll down to the pink color the pink page and try something else I'm gonna try to create some little
• 16:30 - 17:00 triangles this time so I'm going to this one was not that great I'm gonna delete that maybe reduce my stroke slightly instead of 36 let's go for 28. all right so let's try some triangles Okay so there's one there's two I can draw a couple like a few different
• 17:00 - 17:30 ones this one is nice I like it this one as well and you don't have to create all of the patterns from here with your pencil you can leave it here you have four different shapes right here and you will see that some Strokes have been made in Two Strokes actually like this one we have one two here two here two and here two so the first thing you want to do is to group them right here from your computer okay so these shapes are actually one element or this
• 17:30 - 18:00 one is actually three shapes okay so once you do have that you can start duplicating them so I'm gonna hold my option my control key you can rotate and like so you can really start making some new shapes and create your pattern your background As You Wish okay so that's really a question of how big you want them where you want them positioned always think about how you're going to use this pattern or this background and how many reproduction do you want but
• 18:00 - 18:30 it's pretty much as easy as this so you create them all then you select them all and then you redeem use their transparency let's be consistent and keep them at 35. once you hear different things you can do you can stretch them up okay so you create something much bigger and could have something like that you could have a bit less big and really try to fill up your page with these custom triangle backgrounds okay
• 18:30 - 19:00 if you see that okay it would be nice to have a little bit more here you can adjust at this point but yeah this looks like a cool little background now moving on to the last one the blue one right here I'm gonna continue on the iPad for this one I'm going to create these simple lines okay so I'm gonna go like so trying to keep more or less the same distance between my lines
• 19:00 - 19:30 okay but I still want them to be pretty hand drawn like so all right so again I'm done here on the iPad I'm gonna select everything I'm gonna group it reduce the transparency to 35 maybe stretch that slightly so we don't see the fails and there you go we can also rotate we want them in another way like positioned in another way if you see like it's not touching the edges you can continue to stretch or you can rotate
• 19:30 - 20:00 some more so there you go we have three custom backgrounds right here that are not as professionally made as the ones I showed you before the ones we have right here because these were made by a professional designer which I'm not but you get the point you get the idea you can really go and create some nice little hand-drawn background for yourself for your personal brand this will strengthen your visual identity I believe because we've been creating this entire visual identity entity for our
• 20:00 - 20:30 brand Team Romney based on simple Doodles like these ones so I would highly encourage you to develop such a folder it's a simple folder that you can keep in your other canva folders with some branded elements so yeah go ahead and create them you could create some arrows you could create some lines shapes all sorts of things and this is actually a nice segue into the third method of using the draw tool this time I want to show you how to create hand-drawn logos and icons
• 20:30 - 21:00 OK continuing in our Instagram document right here already eight pages this time we want to create some hand-drawn icon slash logos that we could be using so I have this idea of creating a couple of custom icons related to YouTube like a play button and maybe a little bell for the notification so let's go ahead and see how we could do that so I could if I
• 21:00 - 21:30 was gifted I could just pick up the pen and start drawing on the iPad but I feel like this would be a disaster trust me you don't want to see this so what I'm going to do is to cheat a little bit and you know do like kids do when they are in the kindergarten and they don't know how to draw or to write yet so they kind of Follow The Line they write on top of the existing line so this is what I'm going to do so let me show you I use this icon right here this pre-made icon
• 21:30 - 22:00 I'm going to make that big so I have enough space to write and I'm going to reduce its transparency quite a bit to this okay this is good let's switch over to the iPad alright so now what I will do is to pick up from here with my marker with my pink color this pink color and let's see the stroke maybe that's slightly too big let's go 24. okay that sounds good let's start with this little triangle here I'm actually
• 22:00 - 22:30 trying to make this look decent okay that is decent now the hard part like how am I going to do this really hard thing here no that wasn't good so let me delete that start again [Music] this is super hard okay this is not too bad there's a bit
• 22:30 - 23:00 of like failure here all right let's say let's admit this is beautiful okay so once you have that on your iPad what you can do is come back to your computer here and hit the position button in layers okay I'm going to delete this layer right here so I'm going to click on it so the lines the actual logo I'm gonna click on the three little dots and then delete that layer so I am only left with what I've drawn okay so now I can group all of this together and this
• 23:00 - 23:30 means I do have my custom button right here okay if I wanted I could draw it like even more I could change its color so I could easily change the color to another color to make sure I have everything here selected in to blue or pink or whatever color if I want to continue drawing and filling this triangle with some colors I could also do so but let's move on to the second page now this time I want to draw the notification Bell from YouTube so I'm gonna find it so there's one right here
• 23:30 - 24:00 and talking about notification Bell guys if you haven't yet subscribed to this channel you should really do so now we have close to 500 tutorials 500 we've been doing this for five years or so so yeah this is really your one chance to learn how to design with canva and yeah subscribe to the channel and hit the notification Bell while you are at it so you never miss our new tutorials now back to this build let's make this belt
• 24:00 - 24:30 beautiful let's make a handmade belt so that you have absolutely no reason not to subscribe with this handmade Bell alright so same technique I'm going to select this icon reduce the transparency and switch over to the iPad and try to make that beautiful okay this time it's gonna be yellow because bells are yellow okay let's go ahead and Design This okay beautiful so far all right so
• 24:30 - 25:00 let's make that in different parts okay now we can start filling up with the colors again increase the size of this stroke for colors I'm gonna go much bigger like 50. okay yeah 50 is big nice and big I can go fast let's make sure I don't spill out outside of this that would be a catastrophe because this is actually a nice Bell I have been
• 25:00 - 25:30 creating here this is a nice feeling to be coloring on your canva okay it's not too bad let's say this is good all right back to the computer I'm gonna play around with the position again delete this layer right here don't need that anymore so delete and there you go all I have to do is to group all of that I do have my notification Bell I can make that smaller we don't see the imperfections that much I could even just add a shape
• 25:30 - 26:00 for example this let's use irregular shape in regular shapes searching in my elements and I could find some irregular shapes right here on the graphics so for example this one right here use that make that on brand again with this gray for example push it backwards all right so I can push it underneath my Bell right here now I have a nice button I can group everything make that smaller and you now have a button that you could
• 26:00 - 26:30 use on your website for example when you make them small like so let me change the color of the background so you can see what's going on here you could design your social icons in that same way hand-drawn social icons how cool is that all right I think it's time we move on to the next way we can use the draw tool the next way I'm going to be using the draw tool is to enhance some existing photos let's continue to work on that branding piece the team Randy piece
• 26:30 - 27:00 where people will understand what team Randy is it's about Ronnie Indiana but also creating that memorable visual identity through the creation of handmade Doodles and drawings so I have the word Randy here I could have the word team team Randy let's do team in all caps right here make that much smaller okay team run D all right team Randy so what I want to do here is to
• 27:00 - 27:30 have this Randy kind of explain what does Brawn D mean well Randy stands for Ronnie and Diana Ron D so I want to visually represent that on that visual right here so I'm going to use my iPad with the first pen right here the thinner pen I'm gonna have this yep 10 sounds good but the color owner should be pink first and let's do some dashed lines around the round first
• 27:30 - 28:00 take too close to my letters here okay we have Ron and next we want some blue color to do the D let's draw from here okay run D perfect so D will have a little arrow pointing this way and Ron needs to have his little arrow pointing this way perfect wrong D okay I have enough here
• 28:00 - 28:30 and snap my pencil back onto my iPad and now I can come here group all of that make that smaller have that Center in my design and start having fun I could just delete the theme wrongly I'm just explaining what Randy means alright so for that I'm going to be using two different frames right here so if I search for frame like so and see all I'm searching for some irregular frames like this one right here this is nice I'm gonna
• 28:30 - 29:00 position it here for now and another one let's go for this one so a different one so still maintain this feeling of irregularity throughout the entire design okay so I have all of this now make sure it is centered and what I'm going to do is to Simply insert some pictures into these frames so let's go here I have some pictures of Ronnie so let's grab this first one right here nice I'm going to duplicate this Frame
• 29:00 - 29:30 and instead of a picture in the second one I'm just gonna have it filled with colors now I could position it back on top of my photo go to position and bring it down a bit like so now I could bring that photo closer to the edge right here okay this is good and I'm going to be doing the exact same thing here with a photo of Diana so I need a photo of Diana there we go let's grab this one right here again duplicating this and this time I'm gonna
• 29:30 - 30:00 give it this color right here making this slightly bigger and gonna use these adjustment lines to see where the photo is actually very well centered with the frame kit position again this needs to be underneath Diana and just make it pop like this all right now we do have our team run the explain right here in one single element so this was really cool one last thing I could do is to write our full name around this photo so for that I'm going to come back to the iPad
• 30:00 - 30:30 grab my pencil okay and I'm gonna do so so the first one is runny writing Ronnie nice and next I need to switch to Blue and I can write Diana right here so we need to make sure okay Ronnie and Diana maybe I could use Diana on the other side let's delete this with the Eraser you can actually write Diana's name here
• 30:30 - 31:00 okay Ronnie and Diana perfect now this was the first way I wanted to show you that you can play around with some photos some visual enhance them by creating some custom some hand-drawn visual elements to complement these photos now let me show you another way to work with your photos now this time I'm going to be using this photo of myself right here gonna position it here and I'm gonna do something a little bit
• 31:00 - 31:30 unusual see I'm gonna go to my draw tool right here I'm going to screenshot this part of the canva ux right now so basically just screenshotting the object panel right here there you go my screenshot is here I'm gonna bring it to my design like so and I'm going to tuck this right here and stretch it all the way to the bottom of the page okay make that slightly bigger like so okay next I want to try to get rid of this color
• 31:30 - 32:00 right here because this should only show me the page so I'm going to reduce this gray color to this and then create a rectangle which is actually a square hold my shift key and drag okay I want this to represent my page so I'm gonna go all the way and touch this and my page should obviously be white right so I need to make it so make that white push it backwards position this should
• 32:00 - 32:30 come right there now this background right here should be the color of my canva editor right here so this color and I should probably have a second page starting right there and this should be kind of like the distance between the two pages okay now this looks good this looks like a real canva design I should probably have another little screenshot which is the page title right here you
• 32:30 - 33:00 can bring that to my design as well make that way smaller like so and this comes here okay now this represents a real canva design let's start using the draw tool now because that was the actual point of this entire design so all right that is the setup what I'm going to do is to take it from here on the iPad okay so moving to my iPad what I want to do is to create to enhance this photo in different ways so first I'm going to
• 33:00 - 33:30 make sure I'm using the right stroke okay 10 seems like a little bit too small I'm gonna go for 14 and probably use this marker okay I think seems to be the color that I need let's see 50 is way too big I'm going to use my keyboard show the keyboard to bring that back to 22. okay sounds good alright so now from here I can do what I need to do so I'm going to draw
• 33:30 - 34:00 a speech bubble all right like so that's actually too big so I'm going to erase that and I'm going to be using this first pencil right here with 14. so right now I think I need to reduce the size of Ronnie here okay let's try this again okay all right now this is much better now this is a placeholders peach bubble that will hold some of the text that I will
• 34:00 - 34:30 add here now something else I could do is to Simply add a bit of fun to this for example I could redo my glasses something like this and yeah you can fill up the space any how you want so right now I'm happy with this I'm not gonna go too wild with this but I'm going to finish this design from here so for that I am going to find the right font which is not this one this is just to have the size of my text right here and yep I'm gonna go to my font button
• 34:30 - 35:00 right here and search this time for handwriting okay handwriting all right so my goal here is to find a handwritten font that would look good here apricot maybe finger paints not really I could do finger paint I could try something fun here I could try to put some paint on my finger okay let's do this so the text here is five fun ways to use draw
• 35:00 - 35:30 okay and I'm gonna go all caps with these five fun ways to use draw I'm going to scale this to the right size lightly tilt it and make sure it is pretty much aligned centered here I can use my I go for black and then give this an effect give this some echoing effect with the pink five fun ways to use draw actually this is not gonna work if I want the pink paint on my fingers I need
• 35:30 - 36:00 this to be pink and maybe the effect to be a different color so the effect could be blue not great let's say black okay little slight Shadow like so five fun ways to use raw or I could just go all the way pink change the color of this that's the great thing about the hand-drawn elements that you can change their colors so I'm gonna change the color to Black all right good now all I need to do is to have a little bit of paint on my finger here for that back to the iPad add I'm gonna use my pink color
• 36:00 - 36:30 here and add a bit of color on my fingertips perfect now I think this design is pretty much done not completely sure about the glasses but I'm gonna leave them anyways to show you what we can do now there is one last way of using the draw tool it's like considered more like the more conventional way I try to show you less conventional ways of using it
• 36:30 - 37:00 more original ways but let me show you now the actual way that canva is promoting it to SketchUp your ideas to breathe life into your ideas by using a canva whiteboard and using the draw tool on that whiteboard to collaborate to brainstorm with your colleagues or with your students to sketch up some ideas to highlight some information on your whiteboard etc etc so this is more kind of like La Crescent of the draw tool as canva has pictured it what I showed you
• 37:00 - 37:30 so far are some out there ways and other ways to use it so I think that this tutorial wouldn't be complete if I didn't show you the actual original way of using draw so let's switch over to a canva whiteboard and wrap up this tutorial all right I have my canva whiteboard right here it's made out of a couple of things already I have already sketched a few things and I have some images that
• 37:30 - 38:00 have been pasted here so I'm gonna switch over to the iPad and show you how we could use the draw tool on a whiteboard so to zoom in on a whiteboard pretty easy you just use two fingers and you spread them apart just like you would zoom on your phone or anything like that so let me show you for example I could use the draw tool okay I'm gonna be using different colors this time I'm gonna continue with this green right here and start by a shape let's create a
• 38:00 - 38:30 that's not thick enough I need something thicker like this great I'm gonna delete these we're actually going a bit thicker still okay let's go 16. I want to create a rectangle so if I create a rectangle and then keep pushing like keep applying pressure canva will also assist my shape and create a nicer looking shape you see what happened here I can do this with different kinds of shape like a circle if I keep applying pressure on my pants
• 38:30 - 39:00 if I don't release the pencil it will help me it will assist me in creating a nicer shape okay it works with the basic shapes like triangles circle square rectangles maybe Diamond works as well yep it does work a line would work as well if you hold it it will create a straight line so these are just some examples of things you could do let me delete these from this whiteboard alright so first thing I want to do here is to create
• 39:00 - 39:30 a shape let's not make it perfect and next I could simply write some ideas okay so here I'm going to create a bullet point I need to First brainstorm brainstorm and then create my slides and then maybe record my Talking Heads alright then after this I can move to a second box right here
• 39:30 - 40:00 which is the actual shooting of my video okay I'm just trying to throw some ideas here so here I would start with the hook then probably some Talking Heads and then some screen recordings and then I would continue see this is where the cursor is useful you see like what I've done right here I tried to move the Whiteboard but I had this pencil selected so it created a line so two things you use your eraser to actually
• 40:00 - 40:30 erase your mistakes and next you use your little cursor here so you can again start moving your whiteboard left and right okay so back to my color this time I want a big circle here but I want the circle to be more perfect so I let the canva shape assist do its job and there you go I have a perfect oval okay next I need to change my color back to White and I can continue writing here so the next steps would be to send
• 40:30 - 41:00 to production to correct and to publish etc etc so you can just like that create your entire workflow and start sketching up your ideas and the beauty of your canva whiteboard is that you can insert all sorts of links here so if I want to insert the link to a video I can simply grab it on YouTube and then paste it in my whiteboard and there you go you do
• 41:00 - 41:30 have your video right here so this is the actual first video we created on the channel about the draw app when it was still an app not a native feature but that's the beauty of the canva whiteboards is that you can add all sorts of media you can add photos shapes you can add wireframes etc etc and you can continue doing stuff on the iPad so for example I have my video right here what I can do I can highlight that
• 41:30 - 42:00 simply by having a different color and then I I could let somebody know for example Diana so I make sure this is for Diana I will link this video in the description description okay and you can add a tag for Diana right here I can add a message and tag Diana so add Diana not message
• 42:00 - 42:30 but at Diana right there I can let her know can you please make sure we add this video link in the description that's it and then I can say thank you okay assign this to Diana there you go so this is actually super useful you can really use these elements like these Doodles on your whiteboard as well to visually sketch up your ideas
• 42:30 - 43:00 it's a tool that will help you lay down your ideas in a very simple way very easily and complement these ideas these initial bullet points with all sorts of media basically the entire tool set of canva everything that canva is offering you can be complemented by some note-taking by some simple doodling simple idea sketching right there in your canva whiteboard so I'm going to leave it here for today I think you see
• 43:00 - 43:30 the potential of this draw tool let me know in the comment section like how would you use the draw to like show me some other ways that I haven't yet thought about of using this draw tool because I'm super interested in yeah it's just like exploring other ways that I might not have thought about so far and that's it for today guys thank you for being with us thank you for learning with us we appreciate that for those of
• 43:30 - 44:00 you who want to go deeper we have our paid courses on udemy the canva master course being my best selling course so I would always recommend this one and this week I'm going to leave you with this other tutorial that I think you should watch next thank you for watching I will see you in the next video
