In this chapter, you'll learn how to put the details into your drawings. Starting with a blank drawing area, there is very little you cannot generate with Draw. With the millions of colors available, today's video cards, and high-resolution screens, you have the tools to create fine drawings that can represent any picture you want to produce.

But Draw isn't just for drawings! You can create charts and diagrams too. Commercial users who create art for logos, slogans, fliers, and other areas will feel at home with Draw's tools. The shapes and alignment tools ensure that your commercial artwork conveys the very message you need it to convey .

NOTE

If you need to add some freehand artwork to your drawings, consider getting a drawing tablet such as the ones Watcom sells. Neither a mouse nor trackball offers the same precision control you get drawing by hand.
