Imagine that you are in love with an object on slide that you want to trace into a silhouette, or make it more like a hand drawn, how would you do that in PowerPoint? How to draw on slides in PowerPoint?
Well! PowerPoint doesn’t come with all features we imagine to make out of our slides but it does have some features that can be used to make the imaginations come to reality and one of that feature we are going to explore today is called “annotations”. Annotations are the highlighting options we use while presenting the presentation in slideshow view.
Follow below steps to trace/draw objects on slides:
Step 1: Open the presentation
Step 2: Navigate to the slide where the object is placed
Step 3: Hold SHIFT+F5 to open the slide in slideshow view
Step 4: Now Right Click on the slide, it will open a menu, Go to > Pointer Options > Select Pen
Step 5: Now clicking and holding left click draw the outline of the object you want
Step 6: When you are done drawing, just press Esc key on keyboard, a notification window appears.
Just click Keep and when you are back on the slide you will have the drawing of the object you wanted. It’s that simple, now you can recolor by selecting the object and navigating to Format under Drawing Tool option or by going to PENS under INK Tools.
Note: Sometimes while you draw you may not see the marker but don’t worry keep drawing when you’ve done, your drawing is right there.
Here is the one we’ve drawn while writing this tut.
