Shape

Similar to the line tool, the shape tool helps us quickly draw basic shapes: polygons and ellipses.

This tool has the watercolor option and 2 stroke types. These are the same as the brush's watercolor and round/square stroke types.

We can also adjust the size and opacity of the line.

Adjust this value to change how many sides the polygons have: 3 for triangles, 4 for rectangles, and so on.

We can either set this value to 0 for ellipses or simply turn on the Ellipse toggle.

This option changes the corner radius of the polygon, only available when the Ellipse toggle is off.

If this option is on, the drawn shapes will always be squares (for rectangles) and circles (for ellipses).

Shapes are hollow by default; however, we can turn on this option to fill the area inside the shapes.

We have 2 options:

Corner-corner: drag a shape from 1 corner to the opposite corner
Center-corner: drag a shape from the center to a corner, the opposite corner will be the mirrored coordinate of the dragged corner through the center

While dragging the polygon, these 2 buttons will pop up next to the main sliders. We can hold them to either move the polygon around or rotate it.
