**Title: Google Drawings Tutorial: Creating a Unique Digital Mosaic**
**Description:**
In this tutorial, we will explore the process of creating a unique digital mosaic using Google Drawings. Whether you’re an artist or simply want to try your hand at digital art, this tutorial will teach you the basic tools and techniques to create stunning mosaics. We’ll cover shape manipulation, color theory, and even provide a step-by-step demonstration using a basketball as our reference photo.
To begin, open Google Drawings and create a new drawing. Insert an image, either from your computer or by searching the web, and resize it to your liking. We recommend using the zoom button to get a closer look at your artwork.
The key tool we’ll be using is the polyline tool, found under the line tool menu. With this tool, you can create mosaic pieces by clicking to form shapes. Once connected, the shape becomes solid. You can adjust the border color or make it transparent, depending on your preference.
For our mosaic, we want our pieces to resemble broken tiles with visible space between them. So, when creating shapes, leave small gaps and avoid overlapping into other colored areas. Experiment with different polygon shapes, such as triangles and rectangles, to add variety to your mosaic.
Remember to fill in areas with the same color to create a cohesive look. You can also modify shapes and sizes using the select tools, allowing you to fine-tune your artwork. Zooming in can be helpful when working on smaller shapes or intricate details.
In terms of color, you can stick to a single palette or add depth by varying shades within the same color family. For example, use lighter shades in areas where light falls and darker shades in areas with shadows. This technique adds a three-dimensional look to your mosaic.
Once you’re done with your mosaic, don’t forget to save your progress. You can also experiment with removing the reference image to reveal your artwork on a blank background.
