Resize the canvas to create a long cityscape. Click on 'Resize' in the top right corner, then set the width to 800 pixels and the height to 200 pixels. Click 'Apply' to save the changes.
To resize the drawing area follow these steps:
The drawing area will resize to your chosen width and height.
Choose a color for the sky by clicking on the color picker. Then use the 'Paint Bucket' tool to fill the entire canvas with the chosen color.
Use the 'Rectangle' tool to draw different shapes of buildings. Experiment with different colors and sizes to make your cityscape unique. Place the buildings at the bottom of the canvas to create the appearance of a skyline.
A skyline is the outline of buildings and other structures against the sky, like what you see when you look at a city from far away. After drawing each building, use the 'Paint Bucket' tool to fill in the rectangle with the same color.
Use the 'Rectangle' tool again to draw small squares for windows on the buildings. Choose a contrasting color to make the windows stand out.
A contrasting color is a color that looks different from the building's color, making it easy to see the windows. For example, if your building is blue, you can choose yellow for the windows.
