As a beginner, the basic tools that you can use more often are: move tool, rectangle, brush tool, eraser tool, and zoom tool to mention a few. You can start using your new canvas by practicing with the shapes tool. All you have to do is click on the desired shape and then go ahead and draw it on the canvas. There are several shapes that you can draw, including: rectangle, rounded rectangle, eclipse, polygon, line, and custom shapes. However, you can access the custom shapes from the top toolbar.

From the shapes dropdown menu, you can generate different images on your canvas, such as arrows, TM and hearts. Having done that, go ahead and access the rectangular Marquee tool just below the Move tool. If you left click and drag on the rectangular Marquee tool, a drop down menu will appear through which you can change the shape accordingly. For the purpose of learning and practicing, go ahead and select the rectangular Marquee tool.

You can then draw the rectangle by left clicking and dragging on the canvas to your desired size. You will make a rectangular selection the moment you let go of the pointer; a selection refers to a working space. Therefore, whatever activities you do within the selection will be displayed and whatever you do outside the selection will not be displayed. Then go ahead and select the paint bucket tool, you can see the shape of the tool from figure 5.

Then go ahead and pick a foreground color; first check if the default foreground color is what you can work with. You can farther adjust the foreground color by clicking on the Color Picker, pick red for now and click OK. Once you have selected the color, you will observe a little paint bucket on your mouse. Then go ahead and click inside the selection to activate the red color. Clicking outside the selection will have no effect because that section is closed.

You can eliminate your current selection by pressing Ctrl+D on your keyboard. You can click on the eclipse Marquee tool and create a circle by holding down shift key. Then click on the color picker and select a different color for your new image, such as blue. You can circle inside your rectangular selection by selecting your rectangular Marquee tool again. Then go ahead and hold down shift as you draw a circle in your first selection.

You should be able to move the new circular selection; Photoshop will basically cut it out for you. You can change your foreground and background color and press G on your keyboard to fill your circular selection with white color. You can draw some zigzag lines on your canvas by selecting the Polygon Lasso tool and then begin drawing zigzag lines and make a simple selection. To display the zigzag line selection, select the paint bucket tool and click on the selection.

You can go ahead and move your zigzag line selection to a different section of your canvas; this action will simply copy the image to the new selection.
