Sometimes, when creating a project, you need something to draw a circle or call out a specific area in a speedy way. Using Visme, you can draw, sketch and jot highlights and even your own free-form artwork to communicate visually. Here’s how:

Here are ways you can start incorporating the Drawing Tool into your projects: 

1- Draw an arrow to point to a specific area of a diagram/flowchart, and then add a text box to explain what the arrow is pointing to. The arrow can have a more “sketch” kind of look and strong contrast in color from the rest of the design, which is a great way to change up the look of the visuals and draw the eye’s attention to what the arrow is pointing to.

2- Circle a key concept on the design you wish to highlight for the viewer or while you are presenting. You can then animate the circle to come in on click – which is an added “pop” to the information while you are presenting your project live in the present mode.

3- You can have a bit of fun by drawing a doodle within a section of the project. This can be a great touch to social media graphics, newsletters, announcements, and other materials you create that tend to have more playfulness in the content and design.

4- A solution for creating a signature on a project. Instead of uploading a signature, you can write out your signature yourself using the draw tool and pop it on a newsletter, email, infographic or formal document. You’ll also be able to adjust the colors of your signature to match your brand theme.

5- It provides you with flexibility – sometimes if an icon, object, or image doesn’t have all the elements you are looking for, you’re able to add to it with that free-hand element of drawing. You’re able to add in those elements that you feel are missing to really up the visual impacts of your content.
