Many great designs begin with very simple shapes. And it’s easy to create those shapes in Silhouette Studio once you know a few basics. These three videos will not only show you the basics of how to use the drawing tools in Silhouette Studio, but you’ll also learn how to combine shapes to create your own designs and then use some advanced functions like Center of Rotation and Advanced Replicate to take your design skills even further.

Note: This post (along with the videos featured) contains affiliate advertising. This means that if you click on a link, I may make a commission based on your purchase but the price you pay for the product or service is the same. Your support means that I can continue to bring you tutorials such as these and I greatly appreciate it!

To find out more about the Preference settings shown in the first video, see Silhouette Studio Preferences: Tool Options.

You’ll need Designer Edition or above to adjust the Center of Rotation point. Check out Swing Design for the best prices.
