the
top
row
of
patterns,
and
select the paint brush. Draw the
hole in the
ground
where the lightning strikes. Now choose the
ninth
pattern
in the
top
row,
a'
and
draw
the debris flying
away from the hole. Notice
th:'ithe
new brush strokes com-
pletely cover the previous pattern. The latest version appears in
figure 6.14.
In
order
to
create filled shapes more easily, MacPaint
features a second set
of
shapes which complement the open
shapes. They operate in the same
manner
as the open shapes
except
that
they fill in as they appear.
The rectangle, rounded rectangle, and ellipse all fill during
their formations. The irregular shapes
do
not fill until they are
complete.
If
the shape
is
open, Mac Paint will close it by draw-
ing a straight line from the beginning
to
the ending points.
Use the filled ellipse with the sixth pattern in the
bottom
row,
IJI
,
to
draw
the watermelon. Experiment with the two
rectangular filled shapes as well.
Use the irregular filled polygon, along with the fourth
pattern
from the right in the
top
row,
11,
to draw the picnic
basket. A straight horizontal
or
vertical line
is
one with no
small zig-zag breaks in it.
Draw
the basket with a straight
top
and bottom. For the sides, insure
that
the zig-zagging
is
the
same
on
either side so as
to
create a symmetric appearance. Use
the line
or
pencil
to
draw
the handle
of
the basket. Erase errors
and repeat if necessary.
The drawing should resemble
that
shown in figure 6.15.
