You will find the drawing tool in the upper right corner of the screen view. Tap the pencil icon to start drawing. The tool provides you with a color palette from which you can choose your desired color. A common approach is to select the desired shade by tapping on the circle and sliding it back and forth.

If you want to try out multiple shades, there is also the option to make a color change. With this, you can achieve pastel colors and other nice effects. To select a precise color, you can use the pipette, which allows you to pick up the color directly from an element in the image.

Now comes the creative part! You can easily create various shapes, faces, or even funny doodles while drawing with the pencil. Choose different colors for different elements; for example, you can draw hair in one color and the face in another color.

If you have created an appealing image with your drawing, you may want to add some emojis. Emojis are a great way to enhance your Snaps, and they can be easily added by tapping on the emoji icon. Select an emoji and place it where you want it in your image.

In addition to emojis, you can also use stickers in your Snaps. Tap on the sticker icon to choose from various stickers you would like to use in your Snap. Here, you can add fun and engaging elements to your image.

Additionally, there is the option to integrate geofilters and other visual effects into your Snaps. These filters are often regionally or thematically relevant and add an extra dimension to the image.

It’s helpful to review the Snap once again before sending or saving it. You can change the position of drawings, stickers, and emojis by simply dragging them to the desired location.
