Good Morning,
Google Drawings is lot of fun! You can create drawings that can be saved as a PDF, jpg or png and then put them in your website, blog, or Google doc or many other places.
1. Go to Google Drive.
2. In the top left, click New More Google Drawings.
3. Insert shapes, lines or text with the editing tools.
4. When you’re finished, you can add your drawing to another file. I will say that this sometimes works – sometimes not. Many times, parts of your drawing will not transfer. In that case, go to File – Download As – JPG and save your drawing as an image. See the video on how to do this.
You can use the editing tools to add lines, shapes, text boxes and images.
