Software

You can use any image creating software to make Shapes programs. You can use raster graphics or vector graphics software. Though I recommend using vector graphics software because it's mostly easier.

Raster graphics apps in no particular order:

  • Krita
  • GIMP
  • Paint

Vector graphics apps:

  • Inkscape
  • Blender

Tutorial

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make a calculator in Shapes. I will be using Inkscape but you could use anything you want.

First, make layers for shapes, paths, and the background.

Choose some colors. There are a lot of nice ones on Lospec. I found a nice one called copper cut

Then, put the colors in the right place. Put shape colors in the left, path colors in the right, and background colors in the bottom.

Thank you for reading all the way :)
