Its diverse functions and convenient and fast operations have also been imitated by many similar software. To draw and doodle on the computer, you have endless paper and pen and ink, as well as countless colors and a lot of weird cartoon textures for you to choose from. With such good conditions, I believe Ma Liang, the magic pen in ancient mythology, would be envious. Moreover, no matter how many times you practice, you will not waste paper or brushes, which is really environmentally friendly. Okay, let’s take a look at how to use Kingsoft Kingsoft Painter (this tutorial takes Kingsoft Kingsoft Painter 2000 as an example. In fact, the interfaces and operations of various later so-called versions are basically the same):
Jinshan Painting King
1. "Jinshan Painting King" is very simple to use. The software provides voice prompts throughout the process. If you don't understand anything, just move the mouse over it and you can hear a child explain its functions to you. After starting the software, a picture folder opens in front of us. Of course, a piece of white paper is prepared for you on it. On the left is the palette tool, with as many as twenty preset colors. There are seven small drawers below, each of which contains many useful and interesting tools. The large drawer on the right contains the treasures in the small drawer. There are several useful system tools placed in the four corners. There is a printer in the upper right corner, a trash can and saving tools in the lower right corner, a picture album in the lower left corner, and the light in the upper left corner is the switch that lets you leave.
2. Okay, after saying so much in one breath, have you been eager to try your skills? Let’s go! First, select the color you want to use on the palette. If you feel that the color is not enough, you can move the mouse to the top of the palette and click when a small downward arrow appears. A colorful scroll will open. This time, there are no colors that cannot be found. After selecting, move the mouse to the bottom of the scroll and click the mouse to close it. If you select the eyedropper in the painting tool, you can also select a color on the painting. After choosing the color, it’s time to choose the brush. Among the painting tools, there are a lot of good things such as pencils, watercolor pens, toothpaste pens, etc. Moreover, for each pen, you can choose the direction and thickness of the tip at the bottom of the large drawer. It can be said that every pen is different. "Ah, why did that stroke just go crooked?" Don't worry, if you see the first aid kit in the upper left corner of the folder, it is a recovery tool that can help you cancel the operation you just made. Still not satisfied? The third treasure in the big drawer is an eraser. Don't tell me you don't know how to use it. Otherwise, how about clicking the big picture folder and "starting with a new drawing paper"? Remember, "Jinshan Painting King" will not treat us young painters badly.
3. The second small drawer contains the geometry board tools. You can switch between different drawers by clicking on the small drawer with the mouse. You can use the geometric board tool to draw a variety of regular geometric figures including squares, triangles, circles, stars, etc. I believe that when you want to draw a beautiful five-pointed star, using the geometric board tool will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
4. In the third small drawer is the circle selection tool, which can select a square area or make a free selection. When our drawing is generally finalized and only some parts need to be modified, we need to use the circle selection tool. Within the circled area, young artists are allowed to continue making modifications. If they accidentally touch an area outside the circled area, the above content will not be affected.
5. Open the fourth small drawer and you can use the magical and interesting magic wand tool. There are many flowers, trees, mountains and rocks, lovely colorful butterflies and many fun things. After selecting a magic wand with the mouse, click on the drawing paper, and all kinds of interesting things are added to the drawing paper like a stamp. Moreover, each magic wand will have several changes. I believe Ma Liang's magic pen is nothing more than this, right? Make good use of them and they will definitely add a lot of beauty to your paintings.
6. If you are not satisfied after using so many tools, maybe you should try cartoon textures. Move the mouse to the left of the printer and press it to open the cartoon texture scroll. There are more than a hundred carefully selected cartoon pictures and combined backgrounds, including flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals, natural scenery, houses and buildings, aircraft and cannons, many handsome boys and beautiful girls, and countless styling materials. You can use the left and right arrows below the scroll to switch between various materials, and the up and down arrows can select different shapes in the same type. After selecting a cartoon, you can drag the cartoon to any place on the drawing paper. You can also use the arrow keys around the picture to turn the cartoon upside down, left, right, and rotate freely. Use the mouse to press and hold the zoom arrow in the upper right corner to perform random zoom operations. Click on the small speaker above, and you can also read pictures and read words. Finally, click on the color palette in the upper left corner to put the stickers on the drawing paper. Through the cartoon stickers, you will be able to arbitrarily combine the pictures in your dreams.
7. After the picture is drawn, you can also use some special effects to achieve unique effects. Open the fifth small drawer to see the special effects options. Including blur, clear, relief, outline, sub-film, mosaic, black and white and frosted glass effects. Young painters can choose corresponding special effects according to different needs to achieve satisfactory results.
8. After the painting is finished, would you like to add some captions or sign something to our lovely works? Open the sixth small drawer and you'll find typing tools. Now select the font and font you want, click the mouse where you need to add text description, and you can enter text on the drawing.
9. Now take a look at our work. Isn’t it beautiful? How to save them? In fact, you don’t have to worry about this at all. Did you see the picture album in the lower left corner? You can open it with a click of the mouse. Your works are neatly placed in the album. There are many demonstration works for your reference. Click the small silver arrow at the bottom right of the album to customize a new album specifically for yourself. Isn’t this all very convenient?
10. Okay, the painting function of "Jinshan Painting King" has almost been introduced. Now I will introduce to you the system settings of the software. Open the last small drawer, which includes shape selection for sound effects, music, and voice prompts. Click on the monitor icon below to make the current picture into a wallpaper. Click the printer in the upper right corner to print out the picture, enjoy and save it. The disk in the lower right corner allows you to save the image into a BMP format graphic file so that it can be viewed by other image viewing programs.
