Software to use to create coloring book: First, what software we're going to use to create coloring book and coloring pages. We're going to use in this course, Affinity Publisher. Why to use this type of software? Because you can do everything that you want in the same software. So thanks to that, we will be able to recuperate images in vector format, then to import the images in color. And to convert these images like that in y's with just black out lights. And it's extremely poor food because address and time with this software, we can also perfectly manage all the master pages and all the pages. So this is why it is useful. For example, when I go on master, I created this frame and I didn't created this frame on all my pages. No. I just created one frame on my master. And then on the pages I just go right-click and apply your master. And I apply my master on different pages where I add the drawing. And this is why it is extremly useful if you have modification to do, you can. It's perfect because you can manage your pages. This is why I can advise you if you want to create your own coloring book and you coloring pages to use this type of software. Anticoagulants, we have different, this is a robot kid coloring book that I created and I have a frame and different robot images like that effect for coloring for kids. To download the software, you will have to go on Affinity Publisher On.com. It is not a free open source software, but you can have a very interesting price. So you just go on affinity, affinity BB shell, it is just one lifetime, lifetime payment. You can see at the end price like that, sometime you can have Promotion during, during periods of the year and after you will have your access to your account. And thanks to that, you will be able to have your project key. And at any moment, if you want to download this software you want to update, you will have access. So it is very great because it is a lifetime, lifetime license. So after you can reuse Affinity Publisher, as long as you want to crouch your coloring pages, your coloring book. But also if you want to create interior book. 3. Start with dashboard: Let's start with Affinity Publisher. Maybe you our total beginner on this software. And the aim is not to show you, to show you everything in details, but at least some basic to start for coloring book. When you start in Affinity Publisher, first, this is the main dashboard. And here you have different element. After if you have Affinity Designer and you have an Affinity Photo, you can move in designer persona and photo persona. And you have a toolbar first tool bow in this area, you can activate the preview mode. Interesting, so snapping options totally on the left you have the toolbar with the different tools that you can use for design a text and shapes different type of element. Here you can work in master pages and pages. So this is why it's extremely poor fool for coloring book because you can manage an aided the page at your convenience. In the center you have your document or work and on the right you can find a color panels like this, but you can use sweatshirts and stroke also. You can find Layer panels, very, very useful. But also Character, paragraph, textile here, and a transformation panel, but also history panel. Navigate top panel's. First. If you go on a view like this, you can edit this meant toolbar. You just go on. Here you have should toolbar, customize toolbar. If you click on customer, you have the possibility to ADCs it just to show you, but we are not going to use these, just stay with the basic toolbar. It will be enough for coloring book like that. At the same time, if you just go on view, you can find short tools, D2 should tools. This is all. So toolbar on the left. So if you don't have these tools like this, you just need to click on Show Toolbar and show tools. Don't forget that. You can find customize tool, but if you want, you can eat it. You have, are also tools on the left. For example, if I take this element, I can go on the left, but it's not useful because finally, inside my rectangle tool, I have also shapes tool, but you can edit this also. I'm going to click on the receipt to come back. You can walk if you want in two columns are not many tools in Affinity Publisher, so one colon can be great, in my opinion. Let's click on Close. You can read so dragon moves of panels exists, can drag and move these panels. Also. Lexis. If you want to add, you have different round window. If you go and view, you can find Studio and you have a studio preset. But the most important thing is to do each time when you see these small elements with mean, it check. It means you have Zs directly on your dashboard. If I click on effect, I'm going to have a new panels. These panels, if I want, I can position on the area. For example, if you go on the right, you can find a blue element and I can position why not effect here. If I go on View Studio and select, for example, just style. And I can find different style on this area at any moment I can drag and move. And if I want, I can remove this element. I can also click can effect and any moment I can drag and move outside, you can also credit and no doc type of window here on this area. But each time you can go left-click and you can click on Close. So you can. Manager has a different studio on this area. If for example you have strokes you want to position on the first, you just go left-click, drag and move like this. So this is the main basics that you need to understand. When you don't select anything, you can have access to the preferences also. But you can also go and edit preferences while not going to change the things. But if you click on keyboard shortcut, you can find all the keyword on this area. It can be useful at the same time. Here you have the cooler, some information. If you click on User Interface, you can work with the type, user interface style. It is dark. You can change in light, can change the color. I just come back on General, you can change the language on this area like this. At any moment, we will be able to use documents setup to change the unit and the disposition of the page. And at any moment spreads setup. And we can change. So dimension. 4. Image library to use: To be able to crush your coloring page, you need to recuperate images. In my process, I just reached parrot images on image library. And then I convert these images just like this with white color and black outlines. So the first things to do is to recuperate images. In my process, It is great because if you don't really know how to draw, if you don't have skills or bad drawing, you can create coloring pages for kids, wizard, any program. You just need to recuperate images in vector format. And then to respect, so process. This is an example about robot keep coloring book I created, for example, flower kid coloring book. And it is the same principle. You can recuperate some images. And then I can convert this image is to credit my coloring book for kids. After you can add also specific things. So for example, I can reach periods this part just like this. So here I think I had some sink. Just yes, I can Rick period this part after me. I can just add this element to complete this image. For example. For this, you can use image library. One of the best image libraries that they can advise you, it is free pic.com. And you can also use a vector. Personally, I'm using free pig.com. I have also a license with this. I think you can find a lot of great images. And you can have images for free. But depending of what you want to do, you can just only download two images per day or two late actually be shown after if you just coloring pages for you, for, for kids, just like this. You can just have the free version after, if you want really to create a book. And after maybe you want to sell this coloring book, you will have to take a license with free peak or maybe something like effects easy. So first I can search an image, I can go here and I want to serve some single but farm animals. I would like to create, for example, a coloring book about farm animals. I can just type from animal like this. Here, you need to select on the left, so categorize that you want. And we need to work in vector, because if you don't use vector file, it's not going to work to convert the image in y's, y's background with black outlines. So you need to activate vector. After to do this work, you can select what you want. For example, I'm going to select this farm collection animals. I can also select more specific drawing like for example, this is drawing. I'm going to show you with two examples. I can click here to download. And I can click here and another. So you can do exactly the same thing with, for example, Victor, easy. You can tap farm animals or every thing that you need. Yes, now, it's OK. So everything that you need, you can also tap evangelist farm. You will have some reserved. M is the same you need about content to activate the vector. You need to work with vector Phi, because if you work with pixels, it's not going to walk. It won't be a quality coloring book for kids. To have quality, quality or coloring pages, you need to work in vector. I've talked to download this element. You can just, it is a unzip five, so we just need to use a zip file, you just need to unzip. Then I can come back in Affinity Publisher. I'm just going to create a new document, just to show you new document, I can change for inches. Let's apply 8.5 by seven inches. Just like this. I can click on crack. Then I can go and document setup. We move facing pages. I'm just going to show you some basics after I will show you a concrete example in detail step-by-step, I can add a master, master. On this master a, I can create a frame with my rectangle tool. For example, just lazy so I can fill with a color, fill color, and stroke options. I can apply your value. Let's apply, for example, a value of four here. And just position this here. I need to change so wide of the stroke. Let's apply for dressed like that. And I can position this frame in the middle. I can move and find my middle points. So now it's the next step is to go on fine. I can open my images. So just unzip the images from free pig for example. An order can be vector z or something different. But every time in vector. And when I open here, I can find this element, this element. I can see it exists. We are at the same time open. Now I can click on Okay and validate. And as you can see, I have my images, this image, this image, this image. Sometimes you can have two version of the image, depending a bad zoo source file here it was Adobe Illustrator, but sometime it is EPS file. If I select, for example, this image I'm going to convert in Weisberg runes black outlines. First things to do. You need to create two groups so you select every sink like that. Then you go right-click and you can create two group, or you can click on Groups here. Also. After two Crato group. You can select all your group and you can fill with a color field, activate white color. Now you don't see any sink, but it's totally not a problem. We just need to Rick parrot outlines. Click on Stroke, activate a black color here you have gray. You can see the colonial. So I can advice to you can stay for example, in gray. And you work with the black color. You can also click on Color and our vaccines to show L color when you see the black and now take your glands, you can recuperate or this element, it is great. Nose. The next step, you can see lakes are values that you want. Just like that. Can, for example, start with one, validate and that's it now. Or I can use an image sometime if really you have some singular exists, you can double-click inside your group like that, and you can press Delete to remove. Next step is to click on every scene because this is a group, Right-click ungroup. Or you can also click here and ungroup on this part. And now I can create a frame of selection, select the core, for example, right-click keto group again with these different curves. And now I have this element and I can copy and past aged copy or Control C. Go on your page and it's eaten past or control V. Now I have this element I can position, for example, here. And I can turn, you can go on the corner, turn like this, and increase the size, position your image around this area. And you need to set the stroke all songs of groups. And you just need to increase with the values that you want. And in this example, because it is four key that can apply at least two ends. That's it. We have created our first coloring page. And after the process will be to repeat these techniques on different pages depending of your coloring book. If the temp is farm animals, you can repeat with farm animals. If so, ten is robot, you can repeat with different drawings of robot. If the ten is Monster, I'm just going to be a bad monster. If the term is a landscape, it's going to be different picture from landscape. Sam, if I select this example also, I can first create a frame of selection, select everything, Right-click group or control G. Then you can fill this group with a white color. And you can go and stroke. You can activate black or you can go collaborative at Blackboard. So in zirconia, Perfect, I have again a perfect coloring, coloring page and I can increase the value, swap with one ends and the next step, you can go right-click here. I don't need to ungroup if I want to recuperate all these elements. And I can copy, right-click Copy or edit copy. And I can go here on my page or shear, it was on the semester. So normally at page one page, I'm going to go right-click can pay in past and first select my master because he has not good. I need to go right-click it and go here. Right-click past, just like that. So if I sit it knows is throwing. You ever saw the possibility to work with a bleeds. And for example, you can turn so drawing and you can extend outside. You can extend outside just like this. And putting the middle of the page. If you want to see the final render and just click here preview mode and perfect. So it depends for some coloring book, you can just apply your frame like this. And for all dark coloring book, you can extend the pet, you can extend the image just outside of the page, just places. It will be just little different for printing. 5. Work with vector: Let's see why it is very important to work in vector fight. Each time where you will work in drawing for your coloring book, you need to work every time in vector. If you don't walk in vector, you will have very bad quality. You want to have any license for your picture. So it is very, very bad. So just things that you need to understand the budget picture work in vector file. Let's take a glance first vector phi, what is this? You can find this in EPS. So when you go on an image library, you can read the parrot in EPS file. You can sometimes have Adobe Illustrator file, so but you can open this in Affinity Publisher. If you take a glance, we have perfect outline, perfect outline. And after we can edit the drawing also, so it means I can select any sink and I can eat it. So drawing at my convenience at the same time, if it is also another example with different dogs, it is an EPS file. In the layer. I have also type of curves with my graphic design software, and this is perfect outline like this. Now, sometime an image library you can directly recuperate drawing me. I'm going to show you the process to convert your drawing in color directly in white and black outlines. But sometime you can have directly this type of drawing. Why it is interesting because when you walk in vector Phi, you have perfect outline. You can use, you're not Tools and take a glance, you can eat it. So drawing if you want, just exactly. So here I have two, I have two lines, so it's not really convenient, but you can eat it. So drawing if really you need, you have the possibility to make some transformation just like that. And you can make everything that you want because you have also layers on the right. Now if you recuperate an image on Google, something like this, don't do this, don't do this, but just take one example. This is an image that I use from Google. And the problem is, when we zoom in on this area, take a glance. We have pixels, and it is very bad for the quality of your coroutine book. It will be very, very bad. And when we will add a print of the coloring book, it's going to be very, very bad to color. So don't do this. Don't use any image outside that image library and don't use pixel image. Moreover, you won't have license to recuperate an image on Google or anything like this. So it will be very dangerous about the copyright. So this is why you need to every time use vector file. And after I'm going to show you the process, so it means you have an image like this. You will select every sync with your selection right-click group. When you have a group, I can go and feel and activate. So why scholar stroke? Click on Black and I can walk now with the white here, it's perfect because I have this drawing, but sometime you need to make some adjustment depending of the drawing because you don't have perfect outline. But yeah, it's a great example because it is perfect. I can walk maybe with a value of two and take your glands. I have a drawing for my coloring book. It's very, very great, just laces. But if I want to make some modification, now, I can go right-click. And if I want, I can select Ungroup. Ungroup or in this example. And if I don't want to have clothes, I can just select different element and I can also edit my drawing. So it is not a problem. You can edit it at your convenience. If something is wrong, you have a small point or I can remove all these, all these using my selection tool. So this is why it's extremly useful. And I have a very nice drawing for a coloring book. Now if I take this example, I would like to create cooling book about dogs. I can recuperate picture with dot collection like this. Select everything, Right-click Group and Sheila wise stroke black. And after I can increase the it'll be tomorrow. So why anticoagulants? I have grid dog for a coloring book after it depends on the style here. It's not, not too much funny dogs, but not for toddlers, but it can be interesting for coloring book. We have a great outline, quit quality. We can make some transformation and we can mix also different drawing. So this is why it's extremely poor fool. I can, for example, take this element just like this. And if I just go right-click group, I can go right-click Copy or cut. And you can go in any order I'm drawing here. It's not the perfect example because it's a landscape. But you can go, you can go outside, Right-click can passed, and you can make mix with different drawing. It's also useful when you want really to personally, to personalize your coloring book. And I can position why not a dog and this area, as you can see. But you can create something bigger on the first plane and it's things that you want. It's a perfect example. But I just want to show you that sometime you can recuperate for our vehicle, can recuperate to vehicle, and you can create just a little bedrooms with cern include trees, road, every thing that you want, and you can create also montage for your coloring book exists. But very important, you need to work in vector fights. So EPS file, sometime you can have Adobe Illustrator file and in Affinity Publisher, you can eat it at your convenience. Also element, you have the different players after you can take out. So you're not tools. If you want to make some transformation, it's possible. So this is why you need to use a vector file every time. 6. Choose size for your coloring pages: What is the best size to crash your coloring pages and then you're coloring book. Best size to use is 8.5 by seven inches. When for example, I have my coloring book here. I can go on documents setup. Here. I can apply if I want face in pinches, change to document unit. And if I go and split setups, this is dimension in millimeter. I can change again, documents setter change four inches, validate. And on the Spirit setup, you can find now I have dimension 8.5 by seven inches. Definitely to craft a coloring books when you crack coloring book for kids like this. So best things to do, It's to start with a 0.5 by seven inches. After some time, depending of your drawing, maybe you will have to make some transformation here. For robot kid coloring book, it is perfect, but for some coloring book, maybe you will have to change the position of the drawing and maybe you will be able to work in portrait instead to work in landscape. But you can also mix portrait and landscape on the same, on the same coloring book. It is totally not problems. Now, if you go on file, you create a new document in Affinity Publisher. So things that you can enter is directly value document your needs. You can change four inches like this, and you need to enter 8.58.5 and share you can enter heaven. So 8.5 by seven inches, you will have the possibility to start with facing pages. Well, not going to start with this. And you can also apply margin or bleed. I'm not going to enter anything just 8.5 by seven inches and click on craft. It is not exactly an A4 document. It looks little light, but it is not exactly a A4 document. So this is definitely the best size for a coloring book and to create your own coloring pages. Now if you want to find an alternative, sometimes you can also create coloring book. I can go and find new. And you can create a coloring book with the same ratio, wide and eight. If I change four inches sometime you can, for example, create two coloring book with a value of 8.5 by 8.5. So you take 8.5, 8.5 inches. And sometime it can be useful to have this ratio for some type of coloring, coloring pages. I can click on Create, and now I have a square format. Sometime it can be useful, not too much in my example, but if I just continue little bit, I can select this image right-click Copy. And if I go here, right-click and past, sometimes this ratio can be great in some coloring book. And this is why it is also a good idea. As you can see, we have a good ratio, for example, for this type of image. So definitely the size to use is 8.5 by 11 inches. It is perfect. And sometimes sometime you can use also this ratio and apply 8.5 inches by 8.5 inches. You can also check and take your glands, for example, on Amazon.com. And you can type in Erie crest. Like coloring book. You can tab just coloring book for kids. So m is just to have an ID so I can select one of these coloring book. For example, this coloring book. I can continue little bit why nodes is coloring book? And a lot of coloring book will be 8.5 by seven inches. I can why not cities this coloring book. And continue little bit. Here, for example, it is another type of coloring book. And if I just check, you can find some information. If you continue at the end. And you can find the dimensions here, 8.5 by seven inches. If I select this chlorine Booker so I can continue. And take your glands again, a 0.5 by seven inches. Dementia, if I still exists, coloring book 8.5 by seven inches also. And in this example of coloring book, so ratio looks different. And if I just continue, this is 8.5 by 8.5 by 8.5 inches. So definitely it is a two type of size for a coloring book. So 8.5 by 11, Sometimes not a lot, but sometime fossil ratio. You can also create 2.58 by 8.5 for your coloring book. 7. Drawing horizontal vertical: How to position your drawing? When we start, we ask this question normally is I need to put the drawing vertically. I need to put a drawing horizontally. Is it possible to mix drawings radically and also horizontally? The answer is, there is not the perfect answer. I think in my opinion, and me personally, I use this. You can mix vertically and vertical and horizontal joins. It's totally not a problem. In some coloring book, you will work only horizontally. In some code coloring book, you will work only vertically. And in different type of coloring book you will work horizontally and vertically. Let's take an example about tomato frogs coloring book for kids. And I put different design horizontally and red staining here, for example, it's horizontally. Why? Because it just the best for the image. Because if I make some transformation, I'm going to lose some area and shades. Not really good because I lose all this space and I don't see all my image even if I'm originates like this, it's not really good. So this is why I make the choice to work in landscape and not in portraits. So I put the design just like this vertically, and it's so much better for the space, just like that. Let's continue. I have some different examples. Xi, I walk also horizontally normal because if I change the image and positions and image like this, I need to reduce and after its not convenient because I have too much space on this area, too much space on this area. So it's not the best you're drawing need to have the maximum of space. And this is a reason for which you need to mix horizontally and vertically in some coloring books. I have another example. So I work directly vertically. And now in this example, I work horizontally in portrait. And one more time it is the best because if in these exons per I change, I need to reduce the drawing. Positions are drawing here one more time. If space on this area and blank spots on this area, it's not good. So I need to turn my drawing. And thanks to that, I can use all the space that I have with this picture. When you use a bleeder interests like this. It depends. Also a bad drawings. Now let's see another example. This is a countryside coloring book. I have only drawing extended outside of the page, so I have a bleed. If I just click on one of the drawings, most of the time, I just use. So I just put a drawing like this vertically and walk in landscape because it is countryside coloring book. It's like a landscape coloring books. So generally it's more interesting to put. So drawing like this. But in few example maybe we can make some change but pH another example if I make some transformation with this drawing, whether I need to reduce and it's not going to be really good. Or I need to increase the size to take all the space, but I will lose all this part of the drawing. So this is why it's better to work in this direction. It depends also a bad image that you recuperate the image library. And I can do something like this. I just check if I didn't have one jewel wing in different directions. So it means horizontally. But I think I put also drawing horizontally in this example. Just like this. Here, I made some changes. So this design, for example, I work in portrait. This design I work in portrait. But I think it's finally almost the only design where I walk. It's in portrait. It's literature. It's little strange because generally I can be careful about that. It's not a problem to tell you, not a problem, but maybe for only one design in portrait, maybe I should make some transformation. And yes, put something like this. I will have probably to check this coloring book. 8. Master navigation: Let's see the navigation. Navigation. When you are in Affinity Publisher, it's important to be able to move quickly on your area. So first you can use this tool, but I can advise you to use, to use a mouse with a scroll wheel on it. So much more convenient. If you click on this tool, zoom tool, you can just go left-click and you can zoom in. At the same time, you can find the tool option. You can just select the percentage disease and you can move zoom in and zoom out. So this is the first thing that you need to do. At the same time you can find so N2, this is a view tool. You have a shortcut edge and for the Zooms or shortcut. When you zoom, nicest, you use after this tour, you can just go left-click and you can drag and move on your document just like that. So this is also something that you need to know. After if you guns, alright, you have a navigator panel. And thanks to that, you can zoom in, zoom out. You need to be on the right page, so six, alright, page like this, you double-click after you can find your page on the right and you can zoom in, zoom out just like this. If you zoom in, you can find with this rectangle frame, what is area selected here? And if you drag and move on, You're Nigeria top panel, you can drag and move also on the image. So this is something interesting to note. So now I can advise you to have a mouse and to use the scroll wheel. Why it is the best, because you can walk. So it means you use your move tool. For example, I'm going to go right-click Ungroup. I'll use my tools and I want to create modification, for example, on the clued like this, but I don't want to each time use this tool and zoom, then come back with this tool. It's not convenient, so you use the scroll wheel. And if you just press Control and drag and moves the scroll wheel, you can zoom in and zoom out. So scroll wheel control, zoom in, zoom out. So it's very great. You can work with left and right end and zoom in, zoom out. At the same time. If you want to have something equal to handle, you just click on the scroll wheel and you can drag and move like this. Drag and move like this, exactly like so. And this is why it is useful. After if you want, you can complete your abs, this vertical, horizontal bar, and this vertical bar also. Why it is extremely useful because now if I don't use any of these tools on my scroll wheel end control. I can, for example, Zoom this. I can walk, make some transformation, right-click Ungroup. Then I can zoom on this area. I want to delete. I can walk, I can zoom little bit more. We sued to use a different tool. I can zoom little. I would drag and move with my scroll wheel. Just remove so different element, for example, like this. I press control my scroll wheel, I zoom need to allow that can take your glands nodal direction. I want to remove this. I can select everything, press Delete, and that's it. So this is how you can navigate to your space. 9. Add margins: Let's see how to add margin. You can create a coloring book and I have a frame. So it means you will have a frame on all the different pages with soap coloring page. And for this, let's first go and page. If you go right-click, you can find at page. And I'm going to add 50 pages like this. If I want to add a frame with a margin on all my coloring pages, I can apply this on the master page. So click on the Master page first. Add muster. Here I can make phrase on per frame name dimension. Generally we keep exactly the same dimension of the page. And click, Okay. Then if you go and view, you need to select first show mountain and you can find a guide manager, guide manager. It is interesting because you can create horizontal guide, vertical guide if you want. By the way, you can also separate your pages in columns and rows. So it is something useful to know and enter our gutter between the rows and the columns. If we know we search margin. Let's apply 0 print 300750.300750.375 and 0.375. So this is a basic machines that you can apply if you want to be sure to be okay. Or by the printing, I can just click and close. And now the things that I can do it, for example, to create a rectangle, so acidic, so rectangle tool. Just go left-click, you can snap here you have the snapping option on this area. Just check the snapping option and left-click, create a frame like this. Then you can fit this rectangle with the colonnettes supply wise. And you can apply your stroke, black color like this. And you can change outlines. And I can increase. Let's work with a value of four. I don't like to merge some time when I create a frame like this to have a little space on this area because we have the spine and I think it's more convenient if you add more space on this area. So you can come back on View, guide manager and for example, on the left you can increase the size. Why not to apply 0, print five, just on the left click Close. And thanks to that, you can let little bit more space. If I think it's not enough. Gain manager, it will be more economic. Let's take for example, 0.6. And I can just click on Close legs that with my Move Selection tool. I can just drag and move and change my mountain places. After if you want to apply some margin on all the pitches, this frame on also Pages. Click on the first page, like this Double-click. And if you go right-click, you have the possibility to apply Master replies this master page. So click on Apply Master, Select Semester frame and you can apply in my example in all pages like this. And thanks to that, if I zoom little, I would take a glance. I have my frame on all the different pages. And after I will be able to put my drawing, but I can also make some modification. You can create some coloring book for kids, toddlers. You can just insert why not to V Q. And after you can use different tools, for example, I can make something like this. It's fast because I must tell the software, but just to show you the different possibility, you can also use the Ellipse tool. Why not to create something like this you can use you can use also, Yeah, So click tool. Like that. You can use the pen tool again and create something like this. Here. As you can see, you can even create by yourself very first coloring book for kids with just basic shapes. And you can also do this. You can change if you prefer to work in millimeters, me for margin, I prefer to work in millimeter. Don't hesitate. You can go and split setup and not on speed setup and documents setup. Chen documents you need millimeters. And in this type of example, if I come back to my master page view and get manager, generally, I integrate value of left 15 millimeter. You see it was almost the same, right? Ten millimeter. Ten millimeter, and bottom ten millimeter. If you walk in millimeter, you can enter this value. I think it's convenient. You can click on Close. Just make a little adjustment. Here exists almost normal defecation and just liter. And it's okay. Now why it is useful? It's useful because for example, on your master page you decide you want to make a tighter, you can decrease the frame like this. And take a gland is, if you click on the page, it's going to be applied on all pages. You can also, if I am just going to remove my first page because it was just an example like this. You can work on your master and I can, for example, tape. Just take this coloring book increased, put this, for example, in the center and if I double-click on the page, take a glance, it will be applied on all pages. 10. Creates shapes: Let's see how to add shapes for your coloring book. It can be really interesting to a chip for your coloring book because you can improve a drawing and you can also add some modification. First things that I'm going to do, it's to show you you have this tool and the first tool is the rectangle tool. And after you have all this type of shapes that you can create, if I just click on the Rectangle tool, you just go left-click and you can create a rectangle each time you have the option and the Stroke option. Is that interesting because you will be able to use this old sofa cover. If you click on thin, you can change the color just exist. If you click on stroke, you can change the stroke color. And if you click here, you can change the stroke white, just exit so I can click on stroke and change also Socolow. So each time if you use your selection tool, you select your rectangle. You have different options. Fill stroke, and you can edit the stroke option. You can also use dashed line if you want. Rigid Z's enter some value for space with a dash. Let's apply 44. And yes, you can really make some transformation. Just exit. Now let us come back solid line style, stroke, black. Each time you will have different option, you can convert to another type of shape when reading kroner, you will have also option if you want to make some adjustment, just like that. So things that you need to understand is you can create multiple shape. You can create a circle like this. If you press Shift, you can create a perfect circle. But if you want, you can crack to polygon like this. You can create also styles. You can also create menus are things like clued. Each time you need to take a gland so bad, the option, for example, on your clue that they can work with a number of Berber. I can work with inner radius. And each time you will have different options. You can create all the shapes that you want with this type of tools. And each time you can change also the preset. You just need to understand something. If I use my knot tools, nothing special, append. I can just walk with my corner here. If I use my node tool, I can just work with. So just like this, but it's not possible to aged 0 nodes. If you want to edit the notes on the, on the basic shape, you need to sit eggs or shape first with your selection tool. And you need to convert to curve or right-click and convert to Kelvin, just like this. And thanks to that, now, if you use your node tool, you can create some modification just like that. So this is why it can be interesting. I show you again. I said exists tool and convert to Kelvin. Now I can have my different and sharp points and create some modification. Now let's take a concrete example on drawings. I'm going to select everything and just create a frame. Let's use the rectangle tool. I'm going to create a frame for my drawing. In this example, nocturnal so much top edge, just an example. Go and feel wise or no color, you can click on new color and stroke. Let's activate a value of four, just like this. Now I'm going to go in the center. I ever saw this element and I would like to create a coloring book thought toddlers with just animals coloring book for to address, I can select all these elements, Right-click Group and go and feed option wise, and then construct an activator color, stroke black. And now I need to increase the wide, just like this. I'm going to select one of the animals, for example, Zuko, I need to ungroup now, Right-click ungroup. All. Thanks to that, I can select each element and accredit frame of selection, select circle, Right-click group. Now I can move all my group in just one click and right-click, Copy or cut, and go on this area, right-click and past, just like this. Now, why it can be useful because for example, I can put the code on this direction, increase a little bit. And why not to? If I just put the code, I can create a coloring book only legacies it simple for toddlers, but you can also make something a little different and add your own element. For example, I can create a rectangle and y naught to create a small rectangle on Sukarno, just like this, then I need to position this rectangle. And so bedroom, right-click, arrange, move to back. And thanks to that, I can make like just to ground here. I can, if I want to add with basic shapes, basic tree, acidic the rectangle tool again, create a rectangle like this. De-select everything first. Create another rectangle, for example, on this area, just like that. And then I can use my ellipse tool and credit to first ellipse on this area. Then I need to fill with a color fill wise. And I can press Control left-click. And I can phrase on Pearl duplicate like this. And I can create like a tree and duplicate again, replicate again here, make something like that. It just to coloring book for toddlers. So I can make something very simple. I can then select all these elements. Right-click create two group to create my tree like this. And why not to position on this area, but I think I need to have every scene in y's. Yes, it's going to be better. And again, why not positioned Zuko on this area? Make something smaller like this. Then position this here. After each time you need to work with the why to have something. Great. And you need to have everything with the same size. So I can apply three. Here. I can apply, sweet. And here I can apply three. And I could continue. Why not? If I want to add like a clue that can click on my clip tool, just go left-click like this. I can change the number of Berber, just six Bible. And I can position Why not too crude here, press Control, left-click, duplicate. Another like z. So no dialysis. And yes, you can make, if you've got, for example, a coloring book photographers, you can recuperate an image like this. Here. It's on the niche of farm animals. And after just with basic shape, because it is for toddler, one year, two years, three years, four years. You can just create your basic element using these basic tools just like this. And here you have a grid coloring book one more time, so it's perfect. 11. Create groups: Let's see how to work with groups. It's extremely useful to understand the groups when you want to create your coloring book. On this page, let's first see some basics. I'm going to select this tool on the left, click on the rectangle tool, and just go left-click create a rectangle like this. This rectangle ago and Sheila, I acidic for example, no color and go and stroke and activate stroke with a value of four, for example. And just click on the color and activate black color. Now a threat, for example, another rectangle like this. And at the same time I can create an ellipse on this area. So I created three elements. If you take on the glands on either your panels, one ellipse layer rectangle the year, and another rectangle layer. If you want to create a group, you create a frame of selection like this, so that you can select everything. Or you select the first element, press shift, the second shift n. So next you can also use Control Shift, and you can select the sweet element. I've taught to do this, you can create a group. To create a group. You can click on group here or right-click and keto group like this. And why it is useful because now on the right, I can find my group. And inside I have an ellipse rectangle and another rectangle. And thanks to that, I can click on My group and drag and move all the elements at the same time. At any moment I can ungroup, just click on Ungroup here or right-click. Ungroup exists. Now let's see concrete example. When you will work with your images, you have this landscape image. I'm going to make the process to convert in drawing. So select also, also element first. When you recuperate to an image like this, you take your glands. You have a main layer and inside you have many curve, rectangle, everything to compose your image. So I'm going to select every sync with frame of selection and right-click if you want to convert first, you need to create two group. And thanks to that I have just, I can click here and I can have also drawing like this. Take a glance. I have now a group. Why it is useful because I can convert my true when everything at the same time. So I'm going to feel why is stroke black? And after I enter a value for stroke size, just exist and take again. So I have my group and I can drag and move like this. I can, for example, copy passed on my page. I can reduce also element. If now I need, for example, to edit my group inside. How to do this? You double-click. When you double-click, you can enter inside your group and you can have vaccines for his own product here, here. So you can use your selection tool on your note tools. And if you click inside your group double-click, you can, for example, create some modification like this. But each time you need to double-click to re-enter inside the group. If you want really to Egypt many things, you just ungroup first two. So you select every sink, right-click. And Ungroup. Ungroup, or in my example, I'm going to select Ungroup because I want to ungroup everything. If I go into right now, I don't have my group and take a glance. I can, for example, remove the clothes is Claude. And you can also create selection to remove different element at the same time. And that's it. And after, to your drawing like this, I've taught to edit your drawing like this. You have the possibility to re-select everything and right-click Crato group, again, like this. So this is why you need ready to master acyl group because it is extremely important. Now, if I take another example with this robot. First, if I guns or right, depending of the images can be more difficult. It depends shy of designated periphery, peak, object, backroom. One of the best things to do when you ask something like this, you select everything, you do the process group. And after I have a group with every single feel wise, stroke, black, just like this. And if, for example you have something like this, you can, it's difficult to understand at the beginning, you can go right-click and ungroup all. And thanks to that, you can recuperate this element like that. And right-click again, group, and I can group again and take your grants. I have no element in black, but sometime not every sink. So now you have a group with all the element. If I want to edit it, I can double-click and enter inside. For example, I want to remove that Double-click because it is a gradient. And I can remove this part. Oh, here, double-click and remove this part. Now, if I want, now, I need to, if I want to recuperate only one of the robot, I need to ungroup again. So right-click Ungroup. Now, as you can see on the right, I don't have any groups, so it means I can select one element per one element. And if I want to silicon easiest robot, I go right-click and create a frame like this, and I can select everything. And now you create again a group with this robot. So now we see is my first robot. I have a group that could glands on the right. And thanks to that, I have also element compromising this robot. And I can also increase if I wanted to wide. Just take this here. If I see my elastic, my last example, this is from coloring books that they have created. And take your glands in this drawing, you have a group and extend outside of the page. Also elements are inside. If I just want to edit it, I can, for example, resize little first inside my page, right-click Ungroup, or I can make some transformation. Let's make something simpler. I want to remove this element. I can go here, credit to selection. Remove. It's okay. And now I can select everything like this. Right-click group again. And I can make again my image. It'll outside of the page. And it's okay. 12. Convert image to drawing with frame: We're going to see how you can convert ni Maitre. You recuperate different images on an image library like free peak and after, in this software, in Affinity Publisher, you need to convert a drawing, two Ys and black outlines. So for this, I have my robot coloring book, my landscape coloring book. First I selected different picture, this landscape, this landscape, this landscape and this landscape adjust same time. I have also this collection of robot and this collection of robot. First, we are going to work with the robot coloring book and show you the process when, for example, I use a frame. So I select my picture robot number one, and just create a selection. First of every sink like this, I have already a group, so it's okay, but if not, you can create a group. After to do this work, you need to go into field options and activate the white-collar like this. And then you have the feelings and nothing happened because you need to use stroke. So you click on stroke, you see the black color and tackle glands who have this result. Now you can increase little bit with a value of one fossil wide. In this example, I have different point on Zoom backgrounds. It is not a problem. We can remove that first. You can double-click inside your group and you can remove some elements. If I just take a glance on the right, you can see your layer sometime you need to take again small here for example, I think I'll point out in this group and in this group like this. So I can click on this group and press Delete on my keyboard. Click on this group, press Delete on my keyboard and take organs, it's already better. And maybe, maybe, maybe if I just continue, I think I have some point here so I can click on the curve and press shift until to arrive. For example. I'm not sure about this, but yes, until to arrive maybe I've told maybe I can double-click on a different element and go right-click Ungroup URL. And I've taught to ungroup URL, I can take a gland, so but every things that I have on the right, Let's continue liter. And yes, I think we have different print yes, from this part. If I continue till at least this part, and I can press Delete on my keyboard. I can continue this print two. If I continue, continue, I think, until I think until this print and press Delete. If you have again still print, you can just remove that. You use your selection tool and you can remove some print just like this. So I can click and remove that. Click, double-click. I need, I have a group again, Right-click ungroup. All you need to work really with an image like this and protons. And you can remove two different point just like that. So this is why you need to master the basics of the software if you want to not have any problem. I removed the different print. You can also create a selection wizard to remove every sink. After to do this work, I'm going to use one of the robot. So I have different robot. Let's select the first, for example. So you just go left-click, you select the robot like that. And I think if I just go on, right, Let's take again so bad. So curve again. Every sink after this is bad. Sinks may be, yes, I think every thing here is bad thing. So I can press shift this curve, press shift sit exists and press Delete thing. Normally everything is okay. Now, I can take the first robot to right-click Group, right-click, Copy or cut. And I can go on my coloring book. Select not the first page, second page, and right-click and passed. Thanks to that I have my first drawing. I can increase the size and I can create a selection. Let's apply, for example, a value of three. And that's Italia, my first picture. Now if I select again, so robot, Let's continue. I can select this robot, right-click Group, right-click, cut, and go on my robot coloring book here and right-click on the other page. And I can pass. Also. You can go on stroke, activate three or four. It depends about your target audience. It fits. I think it will be four for kids, but Sweave your four-year-old, five-year-old, six-year-old maybe. That's it. I'm going to show you another example. Click on the robot number two, like this. And I can select every single again, do the same process. Right-click group, fill with a white color, stroke, black. And I can just go right-click now and Ungroup. Now let's select some pictures first, I can select designed by free pick and remove that I can remove also sees different element if I don't want acidic. Why nodes? The first robot like this, Right-click Group, right-click Copy or cut. Here I'm going to cut, for example. I can go in my coloring book and right-click and passed. Let's resize with your selection. You position in neither and change the size for a value of sweet. When you have something like this, It's not really good. You need to double-click enter inside the group and you can press Delete to remove this type of element. Sometime because the frame is not exactly, we have more space on the left. You need to move a little bit more. On the right. It's not very big, but you can just move a little bit more on the right of your page. Just like this. Drag and move just a little bit on the right. For example. Let's do this process for the last robot. For example, I can select as this robot and just go right-click Group, right-click, Copy or cats, and go into coloring book. And right-click and passed. It's going this area, resize. Stroke. Here can make a value of three. But I think for can be also interesting. And positions or robot. Just like that. If I zoom, I have little things here. I need to double-click inside. And I think I can take a glance on my group here. It's a bad things I can select and press Delete, just accept, need some time to make some adjustment. Instead, the moment where you have your different images, you just need to recuperate collection of robot different images with 50 robots. And you create your coloring books so you repeat the process, for example, it can be such times 40 times, 50 times 60 times depending of the number of drawing that you want. 13. Convert image to drawing with bleed: Let's continue. We have seen how to convert a drawing like this in why scholar, and at the same time with black outlines. Here is the example where it simple, you just create a frame. You can put the drawing inside. And this robot coloring book is a great example. Now I'm going to show you the same process with the landscape coloring book. And it's going to be a coloring book. It can be for, for example, adults. And we need to work with a bleed. So already when we compared to chlorine book, we insert directly. So right size. I can select my landscape number one. So to convert the drawing, just select everything with your selection tool. Right-click, create a group, and then go unfilled, activate. So white-collar go and stroke activate, black, like this. And I've taught you just need to put the size of the outlines, but first positions are drawing. And after, you can select the right size, you can also make some little modifications. For example, you don't want that, you have the possibility to remove. You can make some transformation. For example, dress like this, everything that you want. If you don't want to burn, you can see exuberant and remove. If you don't want this bird, you can remove also with your selection tool or not tool. Then you can select also drawing and right-click. You can go and copy. Go on landscape coloring book, the second page, like this, and right-click and past. So as you can see the outlines because the size is different, you need to work on outlines. But first Crato rotation of the drawing. We will work in landscape. You can change the stroke to see better. Let's activate two value of two. And now you need to position. So drawing outside of the page, like this. So you need to go a little outside of the bed depending of the drawing, it can be more or less after your position in the center. If you want to see your final result, I'm going to decrease little bit. Yes, dress like that. Your final racist, you just click on preview mode, just like that and take a glance. This is a grid drawing with perfect outline. It is perfect for coloring book quality coloring book. Now let's continue. Let's select another example. I have this landscape picture. Select everything, Right-click Group. Fill with a white color, stroke, black. Here. We need maybe to make some transformation. I have this element inside, it's not truly good. You can go right-click Ungroup. And yes, if you ungroup all you have this render so it's not good. So I need to come back like this sometime you have this type of problem and you can just double-click to try to whether to make some transformation on this. So it means you can go and stroke shapes not good. And I can activate the same size, for example, one exists. So now it's okay. I can click on My group, right-click, Copy, select landscape coloring book, and right-click and passed. I need to have the same outline. So let's activate a value of two. Also. Then create a rotation. Turn your drawing rotation. Increased, it'll be the size and position your drawing legacies. You need to be careful here, for example, it's not good, so I need to keep the proportionality and increased little bit just like that. Now let's continue. I have this drawing so I can select every sink like this. Right-click group. Feel wise, wise interests like this truck, black, stroke, activator, color of one for example. When you have these type of things, you can go right-click and ungroup. If you ungroup early, it's not really perfect. I need to correctly, you need to go directly inside and each time you need to double-click and remove some elements. If for example, it's not a lot. So you can double-click and remove the color. Or the second thing that you can do, you can double-click on the element and take your glands. It is filler. And you can activate the white-collar same stroke, and you can put one. So this is a two type of things that you can do when you have this type of little problem. I can advise you you have two possibility. If it's too much, you just change your drawing, you don't silly drawing. You select another drawing. And if it's just literally, you can make some transformation by yourself. So m is to not spend too much time to make this type of work like this. So you understand the process. Let's select Zola's picture and show if it works also, I can select everything. Right-click group is difficult to know perfectly when you choose your image, if it will be perfect outlines or not. With experience, you can know, but sometime you can continue to have surprised me. Sometimes I'm not sure about if I will have perfect outline or not. I can select feel wise, just like this, stroke, black, just like this. I think it's good quality and we can reuse if we want. Is this drawing also copy paste and do the same work. I'm not going to this again, I think you understand all the process. So if we take your glands, you have to wait to create interior for coloring book to measure way. The first way is you can, for example, create a frame like this. And inside you put drawing inside the frame like that, sees first possibility. After you can add some modification, you can make your choice. You can take, for example, the pen tool. And I can, why not credit line just like this, for example. And then position my line onto backroom, arrange, move to back. You can complete with some modification if you want. I can use my staff tool. Why not to create a star at this area and control left click Duplicate. You can add some personal information. You can also mix two drawings if you want. You can also add it back rooms with something. So just to show you that you can add everything that you want. So this is the first thing that you can do. You create a frame After you put a frame inside, inside. But sometime also you can just make something very simple. For example, I can remove that and you can just get this type of drawing with no symbol. Or you can also just, for example, removes that, removes that, removes that, removes that and remove that. And I could just create a coloring book wizard, any frames, and just putting a robot like this. So it's also a possibility. I'm just going to come back with control seed dressed like that. Just remove that. It was an example about what you can do if you want to have something more personal. And when I click on my landscape coloring book, first, I'm going to save. This is a second way, so you need to put the drawing outside of the page. And in this case, we work with a bleed. So this is why the setup is a little different here. If we go and split setup, you can find this value like this. When I select my robot coloring book. Spirit setup, we have this value I need to change. So Document Setup, documents you need inches. And yes, we have this value. 14. Draw with pen: Let's see how to draw with the pen tool. It's useful. You can find here the pen tool. And first let's see basic utilization of this tool. Click on the pen, you have different mode. I'm going to select the basic pen mode. You can select a stroke first, like this. And if you go left-click, just one Left-click, you can add different segment like this. Why it can be useful because you can create a shape, you can create something on the back room just like this. And now you have a ship knows this shape. After if you use your selection tool, you can fill with a color. Here it will be more for cover, but I assure you also at the same time. And you can also click on Stroke, work with a stroke size. And you can also change the stroke color just like this. Let just come back with sweet. So it says the first use of this tool knows the second use is to crack curve. It's useful to create curve. You go create 1. The second you stay left-click. So I go see, I stay left-click. You can create two curve on a direction. Depending on where you are going to move, you can create a curve on a direction like this. Now if I go in this area, I stay left-click again and I continued to cry to know duck curve and the northern direction, left-click again, left-click again and left-click again. Just like this. And I created another shape. But this time, this time with cherubs, you can also just create a basic line. You use this tool. You have different mode, smart mode, polygon mode, and line mode. If you just choose a line merge, you create a 0.2 print and you create your line stasis. When you correlate anything, for example, you use your pen tool. I'm going to crack curve. So 1.1 here. It's not going to be really good because I'm in line murder. So let's do this again, still exists tool, pen mode, and left-click, left-click, left-click, left-click, left-click. I can use my selection tool. If you want to edit zone nodes after it's possible, you just need to use a naught tools and you can have access to the entrance point. You just go left-click and you can drag and move like this. At the same time, you can click also on the end. If you want to change the curve. Just like that. If you have more advanced parameter, you will have also the possibility when you have a plant to, for example, convert to sharp. Or you can click on the point, convert to smooth as you have also convert to smart, it's literally the same that smooths to come back to a curve. You can add any moment when you are here, you left-click on the line and you can add a new and sharp point. And if you click at the slivers, Yes, I can just add in SharePoint. You can also click on SharePoint, press Delete to remove. Now why is this tool will be, will be great for your coloring book one more time. It is like a shape you can draw resist. You got, for example, a coloring book for toddlers, 1234 years old. Let's take again this example. I can select everything Right-click mapGroups, feel wise, stroke black. And let's change here for a value of three. I'm going to select this time I'm going to change and just see League, the chicken just exit. Go right-click Ungroup. And yes, here. Here I selected this element at the same time, but it's not a problem. I can click after and remove. So I can see her anymore first. And just go right-click, create a group and right-click, cut or copy. Then I can go here and right-click and paste. When you create a coloring book with just basic things like this, you can create a frame. I think it's better this time I'm going to show you the frame and master page. Generically it's bitter. Click on Add master, master a. And I'm not going to use the margin, but you understand how it works. Just created a rectangle. Just like this. Fill. No stroke activates a value of four, for example, I think it's a good value. And I'm going to position in the center, just like that. If I use my first page, I can go right-click, apply a master, my master a, just like this. And on my first page I can position, for example, the element just like this. And I can use my pen tool. Why I can use my Pen tool? I can make her back runes, use my pen tool, for example, create light on the background or mountain. I can click here and left-click to curve a disease. And I can just stop here. Again, use n might not Tools. If I want to make some modification, it's totally possible. And you can create some thing on the backgrounds. Very great. If you just make basic coloring book for toddlers, you can just draw like this. I can also use my pen tool again, go in this area and Roscoe, left-click credit to small curve, just like this. And then press my selection tool. I can continue, use my pen tool again and go on this area and credit first print, crowd to seek and print and retinal duck curve, just like this. And use my selection tool, I just need to position on the backgrounds is elements. So right-click, arrange, move to back, and take a glance. We can make great things for type of coloring book. I can just complete user ellipse tool create, for example, a sky. Not to sky, but yes, a son on this area. And yes, it's great. You can use your two legs. This after if I want, I can redo it. I can press Control left-click duplicate, like that. And I can apply flip horizontal like this. When you create some coloring book for toddlers, you can compete with this tool, shape tools, pen tools like this. At the end of your work, I can advise you to select every sink to Crato group. Right-click, create a group. And thanks to that you can apply the stroke. So same stroke on also element of subgroups. So now I can click on Stroke, activate black, and it will be applied on every scene. I can apply. Why not too, too I think it's not enough for a toddler. Second applies sweet. And take your glands or you have a page for coloring book. You can mix, picture that you use Lexis, and you can mix just with your own creativity. As I told you, if you create something for, for adult landscape coloring book for Agile, Mandela, for agile seems like this. You are just going to take an image and recuperate. So image convert to drawing. But if you use, if you create many things for kids, you have the possibility to increase the drawing. You can recuperate to Nan e-mail. You can reach Pareto vehicle and just add, for example, a rectangle circle. You can add a shape using the pen tool and you can increase the quality of your design. 15. Edit nodes: Let's see how to edit and sharp point. So anytime sharp point it is to edit nodes. For this, we can use knots tools. First, let's see some basics. When you use a rectangle, credit to any shapes, any basic shapes. Let's create a rectangle. First. I can feel with just a white color and apply your stroke with a value of two. So here I can take two and press Enter. When I zoom little bit on this. The fact is it's not possible if you use your tools to edit your shape with the different nodes. For this, you need to convert to curves, whether you click here with a right-click and you can find comfort to curve. Now it's great because I can click on my fall in SharePoint and I can make some transformation if I want. Now I'm going to use my selection tool, drag and move on this area, increase the turbid, the size just exists. If you want to add in SharePoint, you can click on Tools, just go left-click. And if you click on one, anywhere on the line like this, you can add a point. And thanks to that, you can drag and move laces. Here. I can add a point, and thanks to that, I can drag and move on this direction. So now you can have different option to convert. When you select a node, you can find it is in blue, so it means it is selected. You have the possibility to convert to sharp, convert to moles, convert to smart. In this example, you have one segment here, one segment here. I can convert to smooth, just like this. Thanks to that, now I have a curve. I can drag and move my print. Select one of these ended Solexa Saigon Enders like this. When you click. And I can create a nice curve on this area. If you click on the second element, convert to smart, it is exactly the same type of hughes. It's almost the same. You click here and you will have a curve, you will have a plant, and at the same time you can move. So different Enders. At the same time. If you want to come back to sharp, you click on Convert to sharp. You click on one of the point and then convert to sharp. And thanks to that, you can come back with like two segment, just like this. Now let's see another example. When you use your pen tools, if you want to increase your drawing Sometime you can use your pen tool or add some elements. Let's create some waves. I can just go left-click here. To print this. I can try to stay more on the same axis horizontally and create different care of Zen. I'm outside, so I just continue with different demand and close the pass. If I just select my tools so things that I can do. Now, it's two. It did my print, so I can use a naught tools. If phi is on burner, you have some curves. I don't like this too much. I can take my print and drag and move like this. At the same time, if you work with Enders, you can drag and move on a direction or another direction. It is perfect if you want to increase the quality of the curves. And it is also perfect if you want to make some transformation to your shape, or to your line, or to your curve line. So each time you select a point and then you can work with, so you can change a social direction. As you can see. This is why it is extremely useful. At the same time, if I select one of these point, I have more advanced option. You can break a curve. If you want to open a curve, you Solexa print brick curve. Now is you have the feelings and nothing happened. But if you just go left-click, you can drag and move here, and drag and move here and take your glands. I bring the curve. Now if I want to close the curve, you need to select. So first, press shift the second. And you can close the curve with close curve, just laziness. As you can see, it's nice. You can have another point and another point just like that. Now let's see another example. I have this tractor kids coloring book on this area. I have a group. So first I go right-click and ungroup. Or you have first my tractor and say gone, I have these lines that I have created. It is a curved line. If I want to edit this curve, like I just need to come back to my note tools. And if I click on this first, you can see the ender and I can drag and move, change the direction on the curve or make some transformation. It Simple can also take the sprint. Again, move along the frame if I want to make some transformation. If I want to read it, one of the elements of the tractor, I can go right-click first, ungroup. Things too that you can see also nodes. And I can click outside to deselect. If for example, there is some things that I don't like, like this circle, I can click on these, increase the value, make some transformation we enter. It, says it simple. If for example, I don't like this, I can change little bit and make some transformation also with these different points. Really, it's very great. Two Masters, It's not tools because you can create mini transformation on your drawing. You can also increase the quality you can add elements. In the last example, it is this exon per landscape example. First I convert to drawing, so I select everything Right-click group. Then let's go and fill wise, stroke black and change number of prints with two print. Next step, if I want to edit first, I have this selected. If I click on the note tools like this, I need to ungroup for us so I select everything Right-click ungroup are directly after I click on Tools, I can find all my end sharp point here. Now click outside and deselect. You can make some transformation. Phrase on PR. I can click on this area. And if I want to change the kernel, I can just drag and move. It exists and descender. And I can make some transformation. If I want to remove an element. For example, I want to remove all these. Or you can also create a selection of different nodes at the same time. You click on the element, then left-click and you create a frame of selection and you can delete everything. Let's show you another example. I can click on this tree. As you can see, it's one curve. One curve. If I want to remove this 2 at the same time, you can create a frame of selection like this. And after you press Delete on your keyboard, I can create a frame of selection and press delete. This same principle. If I continue here, I have different curve, but if I create a frame of selection, not going to work properly here. Like this. Because if you want to create a selection like this, you need to do this inside the same, the same layer. And you can make any transformations that you want. If you don't like to merge these paths, you can make some transformation with the different Enders, Lexis. So really to master this tool is amazing because you can eat your drawing, you can improve your drawing. You can add shapes. As I show you in a coloring book for toddlers, you can just a credit to curve. You can dress, create like a Leaves, make some adjustment. You can create two waves. You can create clued, something simple like this just to increase your drawing. 16. Edit strokes: Let's see how to work with strokes extremly important to understand. So strokes and this unjust software, because we need to change the strokes on our drawing. So first let's see some basics. Let's create two rectangles. Select the rectangle tool. You can do this for all the shapes here on the list. And you just go left-click and you create a shape. Each time you can fill your shape with color. So it means you're going to feel color. You can fit inside and you can indeed use truck. In our example, I'm going to remove colloidal size so I can click here. I just go on the stroke options. On the Stroke option, if you, if you click on this area, you can change the color of the stroke. And in this example, we are going to choose the black color. Each time you can edit the stroke, you go on these options. And thanks to that, you can increase or decrease, increase or decrease the stroke with these values. So this is why it's extremly useful. After you have the possibility to change huge dashed line, for example. We're not going to use these too much, but it can be interesting. You can also change the space entering different value. If after we create, for example, activity book with coloring and cutting, it can be interesting to use dashed line like that. So I'm just going to come back with solid line style. It is a same. If you use your pen tool, you can, for example, just go left-click. Different curve like this, and you can work with a stroke in the same way. Now let's see concrete example. So I have this farm coloring book, but you have this pictures each time when you convert your picture. So you select every sink, you go right-click, you create two group. You go and you said it twice. And after you're gone stroke and you activate. So black color. Thanks to that, you can convert your drawing after you need to change the value depending of the target to John's, it sits well, young kids, toddlers may be, you will have bigger outlines, but if it's for Agile, you can have less, less, smaller size four outlines. And here you can increase the size of all the elements of your group. Just like this. It means that after, if, for example, I go right-click copy first before to do the cookie, it's not in proton too bad. So why it's inside your coloring books? So for example, I go right-click copy here. Let's say that it's my coloring book because in my setup I have 8.5 by 11. Like this. I can go right-click and past. And if I just position like this, crater rotation increase outside the page. Let's remove the preview mode. It's activated the preview mode, like this. Now I need to set my stroke so I click on Stroke. And depending of the target to John's, I can make more or less of the stroke. So in my example, I think a value of two will be great just like that. So this is why you need to edit and Crato group and it is a stroke like this. Let's take another example. I select this picture with robots, so I do the same process. Select everything, Right-click, group. Feel wise, stroke, black and shades. Not very improtant about the size of the stroke first. So I can go right-click Ungroup. I'll select one of the robot. So for example, I can create a frame of selection with this robot right-click group. And if I take again my example, I can go right-click copy or Control C. Go on this area. Let's create a new page, for example, at page number of page after the page number one and right-click and past. And now I'm going to set size of the stroke. It is for kids, young kids, toddlers, I can increase may be a value of four, met something bigger. If you put only two, maybe it's, it's it's Grid outline, but maybe it's too small. If it's something for toddler, you can apply. Why not four? And I just need to double-click inside and remove this element. It's not really good, and that's it. So this is how you can work with Hotline. If never, if never, you have any things inside with a different route line. For example, if you want to make something with a different size, you can double-click inside. I can select, for example, this element. And you can change the white only of one element inside, so just Solexa element inside your group. Generally, we apply exactly the same size of stroke on all subgroup, also element. But sometime, why not create modification? This in some drawing you will have maybe to do this process. It's possible also. If I take my example of fun coloring book each time I have group like this. And then you apply some stroke can increase, decreases stroke depending of what I want to do. 17. Improve drawing: You have the possibility to improve the quality of your coloring pages with personnel element. Here. It works when you create a coloring book for toddlers, very young kids. So it means it can be about animal, so it can be a bad one. Animals can be a bad firm, can be a bad V curve. You just take one element and after you add just little shape or you add some thing with the pen tool. And thanks to that, you can just increase the quality of your drawing. First, let's create a frame. I'm going to go on my documents setup, select Zoom millimeter, and create my frame so I can go and view gain managers and create a frame at 15 millimeter ions are left on the right, ten millimeters on the top, ten millimeters and ten millimeters also. After, let's see the rectangle tool, I can zoom a little bit and just go left click, create my frame. Let's say it's not really good because it's not onto page I need to work on my master page like this. So yes, welcome to the Master page and create a rectangle directly on the master page. After I can go and feel no color, stroke and activate a value of yes, I think around four is every time really good? The next step is to go on my page number one and right-click apply master or my Master number, like this. So I selected this picture that I used from free peak. I can select everything, use the basic process. So right-click you create a group first, then you go and fill option. You activate a way Scholar, and you go and stock option black and change the color of four, for example, a value of two. After I need to ungroup. So right-click Ungroup and take your glands. Let's take just first animals and right-click create two group. Now I have this element. I can copy past, right-click Copy or cut. And I can go here, right-click and past. Say for example, a credit. Farm animals coloring book, photo glass. It can be, I think, interesting niche. I can put the animal Lexus and let's increase little bit. Size. May be 44 is maybe a little too much, sweet, is good. You can, for example, create a coloring book, just puts a different animals and stop like this after. It depends on if it's just for one year or two year olds, we are all for your hours. But you can increase at your id, your drawing. What does it mean? It means that, for example, you can reduce it turbidity size. You can use these tools of Pen Tool for example. And I can go on this area, take a point and go on this area position in nodal point. And just go left-click and drag and move little bit. So drawing just like this. And thanks to that, I created this line. And just to Adeline, it's already very great to improve your coloring book. I can then position my animals, for example, just like this. Just go, click on this line, right-click. You need to go and arrange and move to back. Or you can position on your Layer panels on bedrooms here. Because it is a coloring book for kids. It's great because kids will be able to coloring not only coexist example, he will be able also to color this area. Are again this area, this area with green color for grades, this area with blue color for sky, for example. You have also other tools. You can take one of these tools. Why not to click on the clone tool? Acidic. So number of bubble. As you can see, it's not very difficult. You just need to add basic element and why not to cry to clued. Just like this. I can also press Control, left-click, duplicate these clothes and resize, change literature style. Just like this. If I want, why not to add also a son? I can click on this area, select the ellipse tool, and just create an ellipse just like this. And I can create like a cern on this area. And why not too clued here. Just like that. And Control left-click on this area, resize. And I could stop here. And just using a basic drawing from free pic, you can use this for your coloring book. And finally, you can add some elements like that. It's not very difficult to do. And really you can increase the quality of your coloring book intaglio using this process. Let's see another example. Right-click at page with semester. A lot to do this work, let's continue. I can see leak to another animals, exist animals, and just need to drag and move because something I can go right-click group, but just delete this element, press delete. So I can see these animals again. Cookie Lexis. And I can go here, right-click and paste. In this example, I'm going to make something a little different. What does it mean? It means that, for example, you can create a coloring book on New. You put X2 element like this, but if you want to improve your quality, so things that you can do first, I'm going to apply the same value. Why not? Sweet? I can just use basic shape because it is for toddlers. So you don't need to make something extremely difficult. Silly phrase on both the rectangle tool. First, rectangle axes. Here with a value of three. After you can create another rectangle, little smaller, just like that, for example, here. And let's change the size and position your rectangle in some either lexis after you can put animals and positions are animals here. Why not to position two animals on the foregoing this time, you can use your group drag and move on the top. And I can position, yes. So animals, just like this. After this is the same principle. You can make different type of things. Why not to reduce it a little bit here? And one more time? You can make the same type of work. Why not? You can create like if you add a window on the back, you can make a first rectangle like this. Let's press Control left click Duplicate. And you can create like a window on this area. But you can also measure different things. Use, for example. So I think I can use Ellipse tool just like this. After you have the possibility to. If you use your tools, maybe I can convert to Pi. And thanks to that, I can make some transformation. You can turn like this and when not to make just a cluster of soccer, then I can create some rotation. Here. If I want to create like a CRN, I can position this element on this area. Just like that. One more time. You can create clouds, but in a different way. I can use my ellipse tool, credit first ellipse, crowds, sick on the lip, scratch, sound ellipse. And I can select every sink. Just go right-click. Geometry, add in things too that I created a cloud, trust legs out. You can also why not to create basic tree? If I just come back on this area, I can reduce the CCO positions of code here and create some basic tree. To create a basic tree, you just use a rectangle. Rectangle, just like this, just to play, fill color wise. And after you can just create an ellipse, for example. And that's it. You can create a really basic, really basic tree like that. But it's great because if it's factored, it's enough. But you can also use, for example, first circle press, Shift, press Control, credit to signal and soccer control, control, control. So you duplicate different circle. If you select all your circuit like this, you can go right-click Transform. Yes, geometry and add in syncs to that, you create another type of shape. And take a glance. I have this element. I can create a group and make most things for my drawing. I just want to show you that when you create something for toddlers, you just recuperate a drawing and after you can add personal element, it's simple to do. You just need to use basic shapes. You can use also Pen Tool. Remember that just factored loss, so not difficulty about outlines. Make something simple and it's great. 18. Create drawing with differente files: I'm going to show you how you can create a montage with a two coloring book to create to know doc type of coloring book. So you can create a montage with different drawings. Here I have my page and I'm going to just click on Master page. Just add the Master page like this. And on this master page, let supply View guide managers. I prefer to work in millimeter every time so I can go into documents setup millimeter like this, View guide managers. And let's apply a margin left of 20 legs. This margin, right margin, left, 15, margin, right margin, top, ten. Also add margin-bottom a value of ten. After I can click on my rectangle tool, create a rectangle like this, and just go and fill color and stroke. Let's apply your value of four. So it's okay. I've taught to do this work. I'm going to click on my first drawing, Right-click and apply master, master a laces. Same terminate at page. I'm going to add, for example, Suite pages. Just exist. So I've taught to do this work. I have a coloring book, tractor exists, and at the same time, I have a farm for toddlers coloring book, some coloring book photographs. I can, for example, create to know DOCTYPE of choroid. Bool can link with flam using these two coloring book. Let's take an example. I have different drawing like this. I can take my coloring book tractor like this. And ungroup, why not is a different element? Let's take a concrete example. I'm going to use, for example, part of this coloring book. Here. It's already ungrouped. If it's not ungroup, your acidic to group and you go right-click Ungroup. And I'm going to remove, for example, also element of subtractor and this coloring book. And just take this part so I can take this parked like this, right-click Group, right-click Copy. And I go in this area here. It's simple because it is exactly the same frame. So I can go right-click and passed. It's going to pass exactly on the same area. After I'm going to go on my farm fatale block coloring book, why not to use the code like this? So I can go right-click Ungroup just to remove this element and select everything. Right-click group again and right-click copy or control C. Now, I can go here, right-click paste or Control V. And I can position, for example, Zuko on this area. Just like this. Maybe I can increase the eternal bit here. Let's zoom and just decrease the size with an outline with a value of two. And that's it. If I use my thumb photo block coloring book, maybe I can add something more. Face on bird. I can use another type of tractor. I can use this tractor or something different. Let's continue. Why not to use this structure? Right-click, copy and click on this area, right-click and passed. And I can decrease little bit to size. Why not two positions are cool here. Why not detract or in this area for the tractor, then why not Zuko on this area like this? Maybe subtractor on this area. And Zuko, just take this and take your glands, you can adjust, wanted to show you that you can use to three or four coloring book. And you can recuperate elements that you have on the background of a coloring book and recuperate to new demands that you have on the phone room of a new coloring book or an adult coloring book? If I just come back to Mark coloring book, tractors, it is the same. I can find some background for an adult coloring book. So I can continue. Let's continue, Let's continue. For example, you have z, it can be interesting. You can just take element here. It's going to be maybe difficult to ungroup. Let's take, for example, this element. I can go right-click Ungroup, and I can try to remove subtractor one more time. So I need to select a different element of the tractor. And with my selection tool, I can just remove so different. After to do this work, I can take all this area. So I can select every single axis, right-click Group. Now I have this group and I can copy past. So copy, I can go here, right-click past. Just like this. The next step is to y naught to use why not to use on my farm faltered law coloring book. Take Canada element when not to use the US here, I can click the mouse, right-click Ungroup and try to create a frame of selection to select only element. And right-click create two group. As you can see, I forgot to select this area, so I'm going to come back. Let's do this again. Sometime you make, you need to make different try and right-click group. Now it's okay. And right-click copy. And I can go in this area, right-click and passed. And it's very easy when you create a coloring book for kids to take element from a coloring book and mix with an element for another coloring book. And you can also create new coloring book. Don't forget that you have on some coloring book Grit back rooms that you have already used. You can, why not to use these backgrounds like this. And after you can put all the element like that, you want, you can add an order her anymore. You can add everything that you want. 19. Crop drawing: Let's see how to crop your image if you want to position the drawing inside a frame. Extremly useful. So as, as explained in this example, I'm going to use this drawing as, as explained before, you can create two type of interior coloring book, two different types. The first type is to put the image inside the frame. For example, I can create a master like this. And I can create a frame. I can use my rectangle tool and create a frame. I can apply fill with a color wise or no color, and I can apply stroke color with a value. Let's apply for. If I come back with my selection tool here, don't add margin it just to show you how to crop. And I can position like this. Now let's add a new page. Right-click on this page at page number of page one and master page must tell a translate this. So the first type can be to have image and extends the image outside of the page. In this case. In this case, when you publish your book on Amazon, you have to, you have to apply a bead, you have to apply your blood. And the second possibility is to put your drawing just inside a frame. Just inside the frame. It is great for basic book. But if you create more complex book and you want to put the drawing inside the frame, it is possible. So first I selected this image and let's convert wise background black outlines, select everything. Right-click credit to group, and then go into the fill options, Activate y-squared, a stroke, black, and I can enter a value. Let's activate Th2. Just like this. And now I can check yes, black color. The next step is to select a rethink and go right-click copy. And I can go here, right-click and paste. So this is my drawing like this. In this type of drawing, most of the time we can observe possibility, trust to extend outside. I can create a rotation, extend outside of the page to this type of render. So you extend outside because you have a sort of frame here. And then if I activate the preview, I will add this render like that. So this is the first type of possibility. If also I can reduce my drawing. Technic glands I have, I can double-click, double-click again. You have this element. I don't like too much. I can press Delete. I can try to delete that, delete that. And now I will obtain this render. Even if I obtain this render. And if, for example I want to position around the middle like this, It's not, it's not good. Definitely, it's not quality. It's not, it's definitely not good. But you have the options to put this type of drawing inside a frame. How to do this? Let's come back, undo, undo, undo, until to come back to my frame. Until to come back to my frame. Yes. Trace legacies. You have the possibility sometime Avon, you can have some element. I'm going to show you again. You can have element like Z sometime you have a signal and delay man, just like this. So you can have a lot of element. I would sign here. Sometimes it can be a mess. So the best things to do if I just come back is acidic. This image put on my element here. Increase the size. And just position this just above. My frame. Can reduce position around here. Now the next step is to use this tool, vector crop tool, extremely useful. You have different Enders on each corner and also on each sides. I can click on this size, radiates and Tropp until to arrive to this line. But the programs that you can have is the snapping options. It's not going to snap because it is on my master page. You can come back to the master page, go and view. Show Rulers like this. And you can pull a ruler on this part just here. Pull, pull, pull a guide. So we pull a guide on this part. Poor self guide here. And the last guy may be yes, just don't see on this area until last guide, just here. Now I position my phone differ on guide. You just need to positions or guide in the middle. As you can see just here. If I use my section tool, you can drag and moves a guy. You need to be in my dirt. You need to snap here. After you can go and view and just remove sugars. If I just come back to this page again, let's do again this work. And I can see my tool and take your glands. Now, if I drag and move, I can arrive exactly and snap here because I snap to guides. So it means on the border of my frame. Same things here. I can drag and move and snap here. Drag and move, and snap here, and drag and move and snap here. And now it is perfect because I have all my landscape drawing perfectly inside this frame. Generally, you need to put this on the bedrooms. If I come back to my master, I need to select Fill and activate. No fill. I can come back here and you can just select, right-click, arrange, move to back. And thanks to that, you can see the thickness of your frame and your image inside. And it's perfect. So this is a type of rock that is that you can use infinity. I'm going to sit here, right-click, Copy again, go here, right-click and past. So let's make a summary. So the first options with this type of drawing, it just to apply your bleed and to walk outside just like this. But when you publish your book, you will have to activate a bleed. So sing on options is when you have this type of drawing, it is also possible to insert inside the frame forces. You will have to use vector crop tool. 20. Project recuperate images in vector format: Let's start to craft our first coloring book. And for these first things to do, Let's go to search images. What I'm going to reuse the term of robots, so perfect for a coloring book for kids. And it's also perfect because we can find a easy drawing to recuperate for white background and black outlines. So let's click on here images. And I'm unfree pig.com and I can tap robot. I can also. So first I can go to the left category vector and I can find different possibilities so I can continue, continue. And something interesting can be this type of drawing, for example, or this type of drawing. I can select multiple images. I've taught it depends about the number of pages that you want to add for your coloring book. If you want to have just 220 coloring pages, it is possible if you prefer so t, for t 50 or if it just coloring pages like this, the pounding of that, you will choose a number of drawings. And with experience you realize what drawing will be perfect as vector format sometime why it's not going to be perfect. Because sometime when, for example, if I see this type of drawing, one of the problems that I have is I have light effect, I have effect IF shadows. And if you want to convert that. In Affinity Publisher, it's not going to be good because the resume file is not really good to convert in drawing. It's not going to be very nice to convert in black and white because we have shadows and where it fits. So here, by expanding on it, it's going very difficult to reuse this file. So this is why I'm not going to do this. Let's just come back with a robot I can complete with different keywords. Let's try with robot collection. This type of robot collection will be perfect. I can continue this robot collection. Again, this type of robot collection, also. You do this, you do this swap. You search grid images for your coloring book. Before to Zan, I'm going Affinity Publisher and to convert in coloring pages. I think I have enough further examples so I can go here and just see leaked. I can press, maybe I can take your glands. This thing will be great. Download this. Maybe not sure. I can download this. Maybe it sees the same. Here. I'm not sure. It's okay. It's going to be perfect. We're going to start with this file. If I need more phi, I will show you with my coloring book, with my coloring book robot for kids. So first step, go on the image library where you can find the vector file and you can recuperate images. 21. Project create document: After two retroperitoneal images, we can start the document in Affinity Publisher. You can go and file new document. And we're going to use the right value. So as, as explained before, we can work in inches and enter a value of 8.5. I'm not going to work with bleed, so I can just enter exactly 8.5 by seven inches after no facing pages. Color format. Here. We can change for CMYK, but we can just start in RGB when we will export the work in PDF, for example, for printing automatically, it will be converted in in CMYK. So it's going to be good for printing and no margin, no bleed at the beginning and I can click on credit. So this is our first page. If I want to work with, if I want to walk with a frame, like in my example, I can first craft to master page. Click here, add master. Same size, same dimensions as the document. You can change all sorts of view here if you want to work with small, medium, or large, or let's walk through is medium. On this master page, double-click, you can enter in the master page. Next step, if I want to add my frame first, I can go and view. Can, I can have access to show guide and at the same time show machine. So I can click here and you can answer guide managers. It useful because if, for example, you want to print your coloring pages, it's going to be bitter. It's going to be bitter to let space on the top, left, right, and bottom if you don't have any drawing outside of the Canva. So let's work with this. Definetly. I prefer to work in millimeter after, so I can go and documents, et cetera, change four millimeter. But you can do this work in inches if you want, who? If you gain managers. And I can walk on the left. So it can lead to space on the left, for example, ten millimeter, ten millimeter, even 1010. Generally it's not too loud. I can advise you to apply, for example, 1515, on the right, left 15, right 15. And on the top, you can also apply a little bit. I can advise you to apply, for example, 2020. After up to you, you can make little adjustments and I can click on Close, just like sat. Next step is to create a rectangle and credit my first rectangle like this, you can just snap. You have the snapping options here, activated and by default you will have snapped to guide like this. This activate, you are not going to snap. So activate. Found to isolate space. Maybe I'm going to come back on view again, managers. And we can apply 15 are everywhere. Just legs out. Are we can also apply 20 everywhere else. So it is a possibility you can try with 20 or you can try with 15 every year. But 20, We lost liter. So definitely we're going to keep 15 left, right, top, bottom. Then you can match your rectangle to guide. Next is and legs this. You can change the fill options wise or you can also select if you want. No color, but I can apply wise, it's okay and stroke, activate black and change the value. Here you can make, for example, to or if it's four key generally I like to apply for a strong frame like this. Knows this frame I can apply on my different pages. If I just go here, I can start at pages. We're going to add maybe 5 first to start. Maybe I can apply a little bit more. Right-click at page. Let's just start with ten pages. Let supply for again, x is so now I have ten pages. You can go select one-page, right-click. But play master, you can apply semester number a with a rectangle, and you can apply this on all pages and pages and pages here it's going to be all pages validate. Just like that. Now on all my pages, you can find this frame. Perfect. If it is just coloring pages for you, you can directly start your first drawing here. But if it is to really create two chlorine book, I can advise you to keep this first page for your introduction page so you can enter. This coloring book belongs to, you can apply what you want Coloring Book, robot coloring book, anything for the title of your coloring book. I can save my work. So I can go into File. Save As first. I can select my desktop and just change for robot chlorine book for kids. It's going to be a robot coloring book for kids. And just keep robot chlorine book and save those. The next step is to go and find and just open the things that alkenes do. It's to go directly on my doughnut pages. And I have flat design here, robot. And this is a different designs that I downloaded on free pic.com. And I can click on open. Perfect. 22. Project create coloring pages: After to do this work, we can start to credit our coloring pages. So let's use the first image. I have this image and this image, It's not exactly the same file. So I can remove one of these. And the process so acidic to every sink like this keto group. Then with this group you can fill with a color, fill options, ways like sat. In some drawing, maybe we have some trouble, but it's not a problem. And activates truck black. And you can change with a value. Let's walk with a value of one to start. So I can take a glance and let's recuperate, for example, this drawing. Perfect. I think I don't have any modification to do here. I can go left-click or first you need to ungroup. So select everything. Again, we have this group and ungroup here, or right-click Ungroup. Now we can select each element so I can craft a frame of selection again. And right-click create a group again or Control G. So now I have this element and I can copy past, right-click, cut our chat. And I can go on my chlorine book and aged past exists. Or you can also right-click paste or control C, control V. I can position my first drawing, not on the first page, but on the second page, just like this. Perfect. I can take the right dimension. And because it is for kids, outlines is, it is not enough, not enough big. So I need to change. I think I can apply at least a value of two. Probably two will be not bad. I can increase on suite of four, but I think two will be great. And that's it. For our first page or first coloring page. We just need to repeat this process. So let's continue. You can go here. Let's for example, select this and right-click Group. Right-click cut goes here, go on the next page, right-click past and increase the size. Pose is shown this here. Just like that. And I can change for a value of two. My outlines. Perfect. And I continue with the next page. I can create a selector note the robot. Let's continue with another example. If I want to try another image, I can remove that. Let's work with this image. Select everything, credit to group. Then you fill this group with why Scholar, and you apply your stroke with a black color. Then one more time we can start with one, for example, and right-click Ungroup. Now I can select each element. Sometimes it is useful if, for example, you want to remove something. If for example, I don't want that, I can click press, Delete on my keyboard. Like this. If, for example, you have some seem too much difficult for kids if you create a coloring book for kids ages 234 years old, and it's too difficult. You can just simplify editing your drawing. I can select everything Right-click, Group and cut and past. Right-click, Cut. Go here, right-click and past and increase the size. Just like that. Here. That was the next step is to apply to and that's it. Integrand. So budget dimension maybe we can even increasing with a value of four. I think four will be created. So in this example, because it is for kids so differently, I think four can be great. And we repeat this process. So now I'm going to do this faster. And you understand the process. Now you can repeat that and I'm going to do this faster. Now. Let's acidic for example, is this element, I can set it to every sink. It is every time the same process. And you just need to repeat depending of your number of pages. And each time you need to center your element. I can continue our selector nodal drawing for his own purposes and select everything again, Right-click Group. Fill with a white scholar, apply your stroke. Black color, change the value of the stroke. I can also apply directly for if I want, even if it's not very nice, I think it's better to place this after because it's not same dimension. And right-click Ungroup. And I can see this robot. I click Group, right-click Cut, go here. And right-click can pass, increase the size, position my robot, and now I can change outlines for four. Let's repeat the next time. Select sorbet, right-click, Group, right-click, cut, and just go here, right-click and past increases size. Well, quiz a value of four and position your boat in the middle, you can schedule. So if you need just daisies, I'm going to do this work with around ten drawings after you will repeat this process by yourself. If you want to create two coloring books sorted row in Euripides this 30 times. You just need to have the right number of drawings here. First when you recuperate your vector file. So right-click, Group, right-click copy, and then go here, right-click and passed. And I think I created 123456789. Let's do this another time at page one, page resume master a, and select again the robot can go on this area and y naught to see leaked this robot. Right-click groups, right-click, Cut. Go on your document, Right-click can pass, just laziness. And that's it. So this is a process to use. We have perfect outlines. So it means for kids it's perfect for coloring because we have sharp outlines like this. And it is perfect. You can only do this with vector files, never to work in pixels when you want to create this type of coloring, of coloring pages or this type of coloring book. 23. Project layout for your book: The next step is to create a layer with for your coloring book. So for example, you can create a first page for speech of presentation. I open again my robot coloring book with something simple, just a drawing and then a text just like that. If I want to do the same thing I can reach period when no time and no doubt type of drawings just here or here, depending of what I want to do. So I can recuperate to drawing. I'm going to recuperate my drawings that I use here. Right-click copy and go in this part, right-click and paste. And I can positions is dropping around this area. Normally I use the white of four legs that and if I want, I can add text or guns or left. And you can find the text tool, artistic tastes tool. You can just go left-click to crowds the size that you want. And I can take, for example, this book. I think after you can apply case or not uppercases book belongs to. Just like this. You can select the font families that you want. Let's keep just IR, but you can change. I'm going to change that. So yes. And just make some seeing more for kids. Or you have, for example, cigarette print effect. Now the next step is to create liner. I can click on my Pen tool. Change for line murder and credit my first line. Just like this, I need to change the options. For example, I can go on stroke black, but here I need to change. And you can find dashed line style, saying to that you can apply dash line. I can reduce with a value of one, maybe one is not enough to. And you can change the space. I can apply 33, like this. Or maybe foreign four. Just like that. The next step is to position the first-line and I can duplicate. To duplicate, you can press Control and Shift to stay on the same axes. Just like that. If I still exists to line, why not to position this here? And this element likes that. I can select all these elements. Right-click first. Glands are adamant panels activate, adding center, and then right-click croup. And thanks to that, if you go one-click, you have a group and you can center your group, Zoom either of your Pitch, Perfect. So it's okay for that. You can, I'm going to show you something. You can change documents, setup, Facing pages just like that. So you will have an overview of your book. If, if it is just if you want to create a book, it will be displayed to us. But if you don't want, if you just want coloring pages, you don't need to walk like that. The fact is if I just come back and you create radio coloring book for kids, it can be useful to let one blank page between each drawing. One blank page between each drawing only if it is valuable. If it did just for coloring page, you just go to print your coloring pages. You don't need that. But if it is for coloring book, you will have the link, you will add the spine in the middle. It is better to let one space. And for this, you go right-click on this page. And you can just add new page. And you add a page with no master page and you can add a blank page, and I can repeat that. So right-click at page none. And you will understand after surrender at page nine, right-click at page none. Right-click at page no. Cake at page none. Just like that. So now if I just come back, you can see the view. I have one drawing and wine blank page. Only do this if it is too quick to complete book. If you just coloring page, you don't need to do this only if it is to create a complete book. Can go and documents setup. And I can go and facing pages just to see the render. Here we'll cover. Then when we turn it will be the first page. After in the back of this page, it will be blank. After we will add a new drawing then on the back, blank. Because when, if, for example, someone wants to use coloring pencil or just macros, it's going to be a problem on Zoom next, on the next dropping, probably depending on the quality of quality of the printing. But you can do this work. If I select, for example, my robot coloring book here, I can general Susie documents setup, Facing pages just like that. And in this coloring book and yet exactly 15 drawing. So I have a total of 102 pages, 102 pages, 50 drawing, 102 patches like this. Now, this drawing I can close. I don't need that. And after I'm going to show you how you can export your work, you can now come back and document setup. I think it's better to export, not with this view, not always facing pages. So I'm going to remove that to teach just to have a preview. But when you export your work, it is better to export with just one page like this. 24. Project export your work: So next step is to save and export your work. So as I explained to save your wall, just going to File Save first and after you can export your work for printing. Because generally if you create a coloring book or if you create coloring pages like this for kids, it will be to be printing. This is a reason for which you can go on file and you select export. After to export you can select, you have different type of exploitation that you can use. Definitely the best will be to export in PDF file. Yes, sure you can use you can export in JPEG, but definitely most of the time, PDF. Pdf for print will be the best. So you select PDF for print. Restaurant DPI, you can keep 300 area. You can select only the current page or pages. Here we're going to use our pages. But if for example, when you want on knee to knee, you want to export. So Quran page you want to print on Neizha current page. You can just click on Current Page. It is also pages you can also apply to selected pages with a value you can just enter this six is the number of the page as an example. So next step is to, we're going to apply on the old pages. Export. Then you just select on your computer where you want to export robot career in book. And I can click on Save and it's okay. You ever so more advanced options. If I go and file, just select Export, PDF for print. And if I go on more, I can have more options. By default you have again, all the listing of PDF, but also other type of format. You have also a PDF for export PDF, press ready in Affinity Publisher, definitely PDF for print. Don't apply PDF digital because Socolow won't be the same. So here select PDF for print. Why it is useful, because if I just continue automatically because it is PDF for print is going to convert my color in CMYK. So it is perfect. I'm going to show you something is not going to convert directly. Sometimes can convert directly, but if I apply a PDF for print again, here, I need to change it. I need to change color space. Cmyk gets better. So I change PDF. Apply DPI S1, treat compatibility here. It just about PDF, Acrobat, Reader and Colo space. Yes, I can check for CME y cap. And after I can click on Close and just export lexis. After. It depends when you start your document File New. I can advise you generally to start with CMYK or you can do this in the exportation. Why to use CMYK? Because for printing it is beta. Generally, RGB is for digital, it is for Internet. And CMYK is for printing. If you don't start with CMYK sometimes sometime we can start with RGB when you go in exploitation, File Export, PDF. And I can go here, File Export. We can just change the preset PDF for print mouth. And here we can change the color space CMYK. Just take this.
