Tips:
- If you need to zoom in to be more precise, press Ctrl + "+" or Ctrl + "-" to zoom in or out
- If you're like me and have absolutely NO imagination, then get an image off of the internet as a reference.
- If you messed up and need to erase, click on the color palette and set the color to white. Then, click on the part that you want erased
- you can adjust the size of the brush with the bracket keys ("[ ]")
- If you're lazy and you don't want to keep switching colors, you can "store" a color by pressing X. This switches pallets. You can "store" up to 2 separate colors.
- If you want a specific color, you can type in an RGB code. Here's the link for the codes:
