it is possible to choose coloured geometric forms, this is simple and effective. But is it possible to colour a freeform drawing? For example: I want to colour the silhouette of a simple object.

Hi @david cook ,

Thanks for your question! Currently, Miro allows you to draw freeform shapes using the pen tool, but filling those shapes with color isn’t directly supported in the same way as with geometric forms.

 

A workaround could be to use the shape tool to create a closed shape, then apply a fill color to it. However, for more complex freeform shapes, you might need to use external tools to create the silhouette and then import it into Miro as an image, which you can then color.

 

If you have any further questions or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!

Thank you for the swift response. Although not the one I was hoping for! I am obviously attempting to avoid the use of such “workarounds” and the then to switch programs.

 

Kind regards,
